I was just wondering about the "Ability to inibriate self" bit in abilities. I haven't read this series since it was initially published, and it certainly was at times a humorous title so such an "event" could have happened, but by being the only notation (nothing like "excellent two-fisted street fighter" noted) it tends to give the implication that the character of Masked Man had something inherent about alcohol and it's use in his depiction, which is false. The series was actually sweet and good-natured, hearkening back to the Golden Age "aw shucks" type heroes. Once I get a better hang of this wikipedia thing, and have access to my comics, I'll see if I can do a proper overview/write up. But maybe this should be removed? 167.127.24.69 19:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that comment was a bit of vandalism left by someone with an immature sense of humor. I deleted it. Just a rule of thumb for you--the abilities section should list an actual superpower or skill, not something that sounds silly. Unless the superhero in question really does have a silly power (see Matter-Eater Lad). Konczewski 21:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Masked Man → The Masked Man – "The Masked Man" is the character and comic title; The Masked Man is currently a little-used redirect to a minor character from Celebrity Deathmatch which would be better served by a disambig on top of the page BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 14:21, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support Since the title of this comic is "The Masked Man", which doesn't even redirect here and no hatnote at the target, it's very likely there are readers who looked for this article and couldn't find it. At the very least, The Masked Man needs to be retargeted here. Snowmanonahoe (talk) 15:18, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
