The Monitor's face was first shown in GI Combat#274.

I have expanded and rearranged the text of the article. Wilfredo Martinez 20:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Monitor / Watcher

Would it not be worth mentioning that the Monitor is a DC equivalant to Marvel's Watcher?

I disagree. Other than the habit of watching other characters, both the Monitor and the Watcher have vastly different goals, personalities, and basic characterization. --DoctorWorm7 21:46, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

parhaps 'equivilant' would be the wrong term... The Monitor would best be described as based on The Watcher.--RedKnight 16:59, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even less of that. Wolfman, in the foreward to the Crisis TPB, says that he concieved of the Monitor as a sort of super-librarian kind of figure. --DoctorWorm7 09:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As you wish, but seeing as the words 'Watcher' and 'Monitor' are virtually synonymous, regardless of the vision of the actions or functions, it is difficult to ignore--RedKnight 16:59, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Monitor is The Watcher. 90.134.108.229 (talk) 21:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we have a source that says that one based on the other. And mentioning they ahve names with similar means is silly, should we list any character with a name that means "Computer Screen" as well? Duggy 1138 (talk) 02:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The watcher just watches but the monitor actually intervenes Shazamwillofgods (talk) 19:24, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Survey

merge even though he is working with alternate versions of himself, isn't this essentially the same character. Same medium, universe, character ect? 66.109.248.114 03:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- no merge - The introduction of factions within the Monitors warrants a separate article. --Basique 10:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

no merge these are new characters. They are based off an older character, but are distinctly different.--Marhawkman 12:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No merge per above. --DrBat 03:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No Merge per above. They are indeed new characters, and should be treated as such. ZZ 03:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus established as don't merge.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 21:33, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Link to Alan Kistler's Guide to the Crisis

I've removed the link, as the page has moved; also, I couldn't find the article on the new Monitor Duty page http://www.thehutch.com/monitorduty/2006/02/alan-kistlers-list-of-articles.html. Perhaps once they fix it over there we could put it back in. Hope I did this right. Audionaut (talk) 10:55, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore me. Found the right link now (http://www.thehutch.com/monitorduty/2005/10/alan-kistlers-guide-to-the-cri.php) and put it back in. Audionaut (talk) 10:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
