list of appearances needed
This character has only had a few series of his own, but a list of his appearances would be extensive due to a long publication history. Even if incomplete, such a list needs its own section here and should be started. Thetrellan (talk) 19:47, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

"Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow" was not a backlash
Superman was the one character still being written in the silver age style at the close of the bronze age. Alan Moore's story therefore could not have been a backlash to the bronze age. It inspired the neo-silver age because Moore approached the silver age in a way that was unique to Alan Moore. His Superman story "For the Man Who Has Everything" was just as, if not more than, influential. What sets FTMWHE apart is the fact that it ushered out silver age continuity, and was intended as a tribute to that age.

The difference between silver age and bronze age was not that great for DC. They had O'Neil and Adams and a few others changing things from within, but slowly. They weren't completely free of the policies of the silver age until Crisis on Infinite Earths cleaned up house and put an end to them. CIE was a godsend.

Marvel, on the other hand, was transformed by Kirby's departure. Without him to rely on, Stan Lee continued to write for a couple of years more before stepping down from Fantastic Four, his last writing assignment as regular writer. He became the Editor in Chief, allowing the new generation of writers full reign. Spider-Man, their flagship title, changed writers and artists and began to seem like it was about a completely different person. Buscema stopped doing superhero work almost entirely, in favor Conan's unique blend of adventure and horror. Romita was promoted to art director, and Colan was now doing horror and mysticism in Doctor Strange and Tomb of Dracula. Other artists had to fill the gap, so that even the look of Marvel was changed.

Marvel is the difference between those ages. DC defines the start of the silver age and the end of the bronze age, but one man ushered in the bronze when he changed jobs: Jack Kirby. Thetrellan (talk) 18:20, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

This is confusing
I don't remember the reboot that merged the legionnaires with their originals as making sense, and neither does this summary. How could the creation of the Legionnaires have any effect on the timestream? They were just clones of the Legion created by the Dominators, not the originals themselves. They weren't plucked from the time stream, so they had nothing to do with the state of reality and could not possibly have weakened the timeline just by existing. Will someone please explain this? Because it sounds to me like a new writer came in and wrote the story with a misunderstanding of where the Legionnaires came from. Thetrellan (talk) 20:27, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

But what does it mean?
La Domenica Del Corriere was an Italian magazine. Thanks a bunch. I could tell that much from the pretty pictures on Pinterest that sent me looking. But see, when I search "Define la domenica del corrier in english, all I get is that it's a magazine. Since this page comes up first, could someone please translate the meaning of the title?  We are talking about an English Wiki entry, after all.Thetrellan (talk) 02:48, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Anticube
In Captain America 119, the first cube was destroyed by AIM, who used a sphere which melted it from a distance. The sphere seemed to be a kind of anticosmiccube, but this article swoops right past the first cube's destruction without mentioning that it was, in fact, destroyed. Do we know what the sphere was? I'm guessing it was a holding vessel for the cube's nascent entity. But how it could function from afar is a mystery. In any case, this represents info missing from this article.Thetrellan (talk) 18:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
