More general meaning

[edit]

I don't mean to belittle the importance of American comics, but the term is also used when not referring to a certain marvel character. Please create a page to reflect this. I'm a lazy slob and furthermore I don't know how to do it. Thank you, thank you. 77.183.99.161 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 23:45, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek inspiration

[edit]

Is there really any support for the claim "The story of Infant Terrible apparently inspired the Star Trek episode The Squire of Gothos"? The concept of very-powerful-being-who-is-a-child was hardly invented in the Fantastic Four. Even assuming Squire of Gothos wasn't an independent creation of a common archetype, why would it have been specifically inspired by the FF character and not any of the numerous other examples in science fiction literature? --Suttkus 23:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, nobody's chimed in with any references and my efforts to find anything solid on the Internet have turned up nothing, so I'm going to assume that this is just one of those examples of people assuming correlation equals causation. I'm removing the line as unsupported speculation. If someone brings in something solid, they can put it back. --Suttkus 19:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Annihilation

[edit]

Well, he's back, he's now known as the Delinquent and he's having a very bad time in Annihilation. I guess we need to update accordingly --Mrph 07:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
