• New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I like the approach of the first three hooks, but inline cites are needed in the article to support ALT1 and ALT2. I added an inline cite for ALT0. I struck ALT3 as getting a little far afield. Images are fair use and freely licensed. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 21:55, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: Citations added. Morgan695 (talk) 23:28, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

• @Morgan695: thank you, but there is no inline cite for the part about Madame Pluto being the anthropomorphic embodiment of plutonium in ALT2, and I think that's the most interesting hook. Yoninah (talk) 11:42, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: I didn't cite in in the plot summary per MOS:PLOT, but the claim is supported by the Courrier International source ("plutonium, a radioactive element, is represented by a magnificent woman who tries to justify herself in the face of her detractors").

• Well, if you don't want to repeat it outside the plot section with a cite, we'll have to pass on ALT2. Foreign-language hook ref AGF and cited inline. Either ALT0 or ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:54, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
