I've heard that the Parademon in Villains United had previously appeared in Young Justice. Is that true? Ocicat 20:33, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Merge
It has been suggested that Parademons be merged into this article, please discuss. --Basique 04:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge both articles could be called "Start" class and are short enough that a combined article should not need to be split. — J Greb 07:34, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Done, but I might have screwed something up so go ahead and fix. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-25 09:46Z

Byrne parademons
Parademons appear in (and are a major force in) John Byrne's "Generations III" comics, in which they are referred to as "not truly living organisms" and Superboy's x-ray vision reveals that they "aren't even truly alive". That maxiseries is, like the other Generations stories, "An Imaginary Series" (its subtitle). But this raises the question of whether parademons are normally alive in the way that other residents of Apokolips are, such as Himon and Barda. Asat (talk) 08:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Parademon → Parademons – for a pluralization, due to there are more than one parademons in DC Comics publications. NeoBatfreak (talk) 21:04, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose The default is to use the singular form per WP:SINGULAR, unless it fits into one of the exceptions at WP:PLURAL. I don't really see an exception that this article title fits into, so it should remain singular. Rreagan007 (talk) 05:07, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Paragraph needs rewrite
The following paragraph needs a complete rewrite. I'd take a crack at it but even after several reads, I'm not exactly sure what the author was trying to say:

"Repurposing them through the usage of nightmarish Apokoliptian technologies, Red Tornado of Earth 2 noted that K'li's, former fury of Darkseid; that special class of Berserker Parademons are the remodeled remains of the dead or kidnapped citizens from their world.[4]"

Questions:
 * What is the purpose of the semi-colon? These do not seem to be independent thoughts.
 * Who is saying that Parademons are the remodeled remains?
 * Is it even important to mention Red Tornado or K'li?
 * Is K'li subject or predicate?
 * What does it mean that Red Tornado "noted" - sounds like she wrote something down in her diary. Does this mean she discovered the origin of Berserker Parademons?

This is my best attempt at a rewrite so far but I'm going to try to read Earth 2 World's End from which this reference was taken, to get to the source material.

"Red Tornado of Earth 2 discovered that K'li, former fury of Darkseid, created a special class of Berserker Parademons from the remodeled remains of the dead or kidnapped citizens of their world, repurposing them through the usage of nightmarish Apokoliptian technologies.[4]"

If someone has read the original source material, can you please comment?

After reading Earth 2: Worlds End #2, I'm more confident that my interpretation of the paragraph is accurate. This is what I'm going with as the final draft:

"Red Tornado of Earth 2 discovered that K'li, former Fury of Darkseid, was creating a special class of Berserker Parademons from the remodeled remains of dead or kidnapped humans, repurposing them through the usage of nightmarish Apokoliptian technologies.[4]"
