Merger

Oppose They are the main villains of the series.--SGCommand (talk • contribs) 14:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - I was thinking about this the other day. They don't appear in any major role (at all?) outside of Bad Company so it could easily be dealt with in this main article. (Emperor 14:37, 6 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Comment - I created the article because I thought they wrere interesting and I couldn't find anything on them --SGCommand (talk • contribs) 14:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thats cool - I'm not disputing the fact that the informaiton isn't need on Wikipedia but there is nothing that can't be dealt with within the main article (Emperor 22:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Infobox?

The tag above calls for infobox, but I'll be darned if I know which one to use. Superherobox? Superherocomics? Or something else? I'm confused, please help! Konczewski 18:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its a good question. I did once suggest (possibly) a more specific box for comic anthology series as things are geared towards American comic book needs. That said the various boxes are fairly interchangable. There is no real rule of thumb but see these examples:

Superherobox: Nikolai Dante, The Ballad of Halo Jones and Sláine (comics)
Superteambox: Caballistics, Inc.

So a quick rule of thumb would be if it is about an individual then go Superhero, if it is a group the Superteam and if it isn't easy to fit in either then go for the comic book one (I'd suspect Fiends of the Eastern Front and Necronaut would fit in that kind of criteria). However, see my query here: Talk:Justice League Elite. I think the important thing is to get some kind of infobox in as if it is changed or updated most of the information stays the same, so unless someone says otherwise go with my rule of thumb passed on precendet - which means go for Superteambox.

I took your advice and used the Superteambox. Thanks! Konczewski 02:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Grant & Wagner?

I've changed the creation from G&W to Milligan. According to the Titan collection - which I have right here on my desk - the original concept by G&W is so far removed to the end result that they cannot really be considered the creators anymore. Pretty much the only things left from the G&W iteration is the title and a group of recruits.

As Milligan says: "I kept the basic premise of a group of fresh-faced raw recruits confronted by a group of war-hardened renegades fighting on a distant inhospitable planet. From there on the direction was down to me." It could be argued that Gerry Finlay-Day should be credited, because his telling of the VC's is also an influence - Steve Smith is a naive recruit joining an already established war-hardened (and weird) group of soldiers...
