Talk:Squadron Sinister

Untitled
Two things, both changed at this point.

The first is minor, just page formatting (dab location, infobox roster list, and "Fiction character bio"). The last is the biggest part of this issue. A team is not a character.


 * No problem. I go into "auto" mode sometimes. Thanks for the pick-up.

The second... The first reference has be removed and should not return in it current form or anything close to it. As writing it is and unsourced, unverifiable, editorial assumption. That sort of shit shouldn't be done.

The same gos for these "References"


 * Hmmm...you might want to tone it down there. I just wrote this article from scratch to help out. We had no Sinister article to offset Supreme. Now we do. (On an aside, I've yet to see anyone else created a comic-related piece out of nothing.) As for references, it's all fact.

Unknown to the Avengers, the Grandmaster had in fact based the Squadron Sinister on an already-existing team - the heroic Squadron Supreme - from the Earth-712 universe. This was revealed years later in Squadron Supreme #8 (of 12) (1986). In Avengers vol. 1, #85 - 86 several of the Avengers encounter the Squadron Supreme and initially battle them, thinking that the team is in fact the Squadron Sinister.


 * All true, and sourced.

Note! After the initial encounter with the Avengers but before the encounter with Nebulon, Dr. Spectrum - African doctor Kenji Obatu - battles Iron Man again in Iron Man vol. 1, #63 - 66. Iron Man crushes the Power Prism and the defeated Obatu is deported. Unknown to Iron Man, the Power Prism reforms and is eventually given to evangelist Billy Roberts, who after learning of the Prism's abilities becomes the second Dr. Spectrum. It is this version of Dr. Spectrum that is contacted by Hyperion.

Both of these are asides of information that should be worked into the article, if they belong here at all. The second one seems to deal with a single character, not the team.

 * Also true, but have culled it back to simply say see the Dr. Spectrum article re: a character change between these stories. I think that is valid as the make-up of the original team has changed.

Opening paragraph
the opening paragraph is "This article is about the supervillain team the Squadron Sinister. For the similarly named superhero team, see Squadron Supreme." This seems a bit misleading as it implies that it's a coincidence in names. Second sentence should read "For the mirror universe superhero version of the team see Squadron Supreme." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.54.162.208 (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
