Sector 666

They were exiled because of the genocide in sector 666. --68.81.70.65 (talk) 20:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Coincidentally"?

The article says: 'The Manhunters usually chant the phrase, "No man escapes the Manhunters". Coincidentally, underneath their masks lies a chalky white skin, and their secret Earth base of operations was in Louisiana, a state with historic roots of voodoo, during the Millennium series.' What does the second sentence have to do with the first, and why is it coincidental? I see no connection at all. I suspect that the writer intended to reference some phrase connected with white skin or with voodoo, but to those of us unfamiliar with such a phrase, this paragraph is very confusing. Can anyone clarify? --Elysdir (talk) 18:29, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Just some notes on the infobox and the lead...

While "debutmo" and "debutyr" are optional, they do cleanly add the month and year. "debutyr" also links the year to the proper "Year in comics" list.
"android", which was removed, is used by the template to automatically put the article into Category:DC Comics robots.
At the moment "species" is redundant. It was sitting there as a comment in the case that the article gets moved.
As for the first appearance...
- Kirby's 1st Issue Special story does pre-date the JLofA issue and introduces some of the concepts that were later expanded by Englehart and others.
- The art is "Use the Golden Age Paul Kirk costume". That makes an art credit for Dick Dillin incorrect.

Kirby's First Issue Special introduced Mark Shaw and the Manhunter Society not the android race. They were introduced later. So it's used a reference for Mark Shaw not the androids. --Xero (talk) 16:55, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
