 * I agree. This is the most hilarious wikipedia article in the history of wikipedia, and possibly the funniest superheroes ever. -Wunderbear

The team leader is called "Sixpack" throughout the article but "Six-Pac" in the origin section. I'd guess the right name is "Sixpack," but I don't know enough about the character to confirm it.


 * It's SixPac in the comics becuase it fits the design on his shirt. Six beers in a pack, six letters in the name. Lots42 03:43, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why the section on origins was removed - AFAIK most of that was true (I was the viewer of the Bueno Bueno bueno excellente movie, and I know that the Dog Welder story is true from chats with John - but if Master Deusoma knows better...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.99.221.5 (talk) 17:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Verification needed
I find it hard to believe in this article. There are no relevant hits for "DC Comics" "Section 8" on Google Books or Scholar. Can someone supply verification from a reliable source? Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 20:40, 27 February 2011 (UTC)


 * For whatever it's worth, here's Section 8 by name on the cover. http://www.comicvine.com/hitman-ace-of-killers-4-of-6-enter-section-eight/37-76437/ Lots42 (talk) 20:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Is comicvine.com a reliable source: that is, a third-party, published source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy? Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 21:57, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

There is no doubt that Section 8 are real characters that existed within a series of comic books, Hitman, published by DC Comics. I do think it can be argued that it's unusual that they have their own page which is longer than the list of characters from the series itself. Furthermore, you're misunderstanding the policy regarding verification and reliability. The reliable source for their existence as fictional characters is every issue of the comic 'Hitman' in which they appear; their first appearance is correctly cited on the page. You can feel free to check the issue itself. Further issues which feature them would include (but are not necessarily limited to) issues 51 & 52 and the 'Hitman/Lobo' one-shot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.136.21 (talk) 14:32, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Nitpick: Was just checking the link in the references at http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/09/28/365-reasons-to-love-comics-271/ and I see that this is definately not a spot welder that dogwelder uses; the wikipedia text states that dogwelder 'spot welds' dogs but that looks like a gas welder. Does the comic refer to this as 'spot welding'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.218.213.152 (talk) 17:52, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
