DC Work Group & General Discussion

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

So it's no surprise that our DC pages on the whole, are not amazing. While several users have helped make them much better, and their quality has increased over thelast few months, there's still A LOT that need to be worked on. Such as...

Noteworthy characters who need pages​

I have started to compile a list here, but of course there are potentially thousands of characters warranting pages so it may never be truly complete.

High priority characters on the other hand, I'll list here.

• Hawkman (any)
• Hawkwoman (any)
• Starman
• Kid Devil and Blue Devil
• Jay Garrick
• Bart Allen
• Stargirl
• Starspangled Kid
• Johnny Thunder
• Doctor Mid-Nite
• Jakeem Thunder
• Mera
• Fire and Ice
• Guy Gardner
• Starfire
• Cassie Sandsmark
• Simon Baz
• Jessica Cruz
• Black Lightning
• Amethyst (Pre/Post Crisis)

Bold are characters who are REALLY high priority.

Current projects​

I have started or am planning on starting the following projects to work on in my spare time. Any help is much appreciated.

1. BIG Power Girl revamp. She's a tricky and long-chronicled character so it may take multiple CRTs to make her page as good as it can be.
2. Stats and P&A for Superman Red/Blue. Just have to compile appearances for these guys.
3. Jimmy Olsen page, mostly for his showings during Countdown and such.
4. Stats for Post-Flashpoint Lex Luthor's Superman armor. It has plenty of appearances but I can't get a read on its feats for now.
5. Better explanation on the reboots, and what is or isn't a reboot. There's plenty of misformation on the internet on these topics.
6. Other Power Ring pages.

If anyone has a project they'd wish to work on, I can add it to the list.

Things to discuss​

• How should we handle Legion of Super-Heroes? They have their own series of reboots that don't correspond with the mainline ones (Pre-Zero Hour, Post-Zero Hour, and Post-Rebirth), but Pre-Zero Hour continuity became the main LOSH continuity...at some point, because Post-Zero Hour didn't last that long. Argh!
• Kryptonian/Daxamite Physiology. Good page idea or too inconsistent to use?

Discord​

@The_Impress has converted her general-chat server into a comic discussion board, for Marvel, DC, and other publishers. An invite can be found here, but you'll need a role to access it so let me know if you connected so I can hook you up.

Added Black Lightning and Amethyst to the high priority list because that's also entire sections of the verse we just have no data for.

Nice, would love to help but ain't got the right tech yet. Besides I had tons of characters to do CRTs on when preparing for exams.
Comic and manhua.

There's not really tech involved other then a good adblocker. We tend to just go to a TOTALLY LEGAL COMIC HOSTING SITE and read through issues featring the character we're researching and posting the scans on Imgur.
----
Another thing that Imp-ress brought up is how we should split our DC Verse page into a few other ones. Currently, I feel like it shoould only cover the four mainline continuities and elseworlds, and everything else should probably get iits own page. We already do that with the DCEU, DCAU, Arrowverse, Injustice, and probably a few others, but a few are still just lsted on the verse page. Some examples of verse pages needed to be made:

• WildStorm, though stuff after Worlds End is DC canon.
• America's Best Comics, also later integrated into mainline canon I think
• Watchmen, distinct enough to have a verse page.
• Fawcett Comics, for early Captain Marvel stories and characters
• Quality Comics, though I dont think we have a page for Qualty characters.

Seems good.

Could O.G Vertigo get a verse page?

Could O.G Vertigo get a verse page?

I don't read much Vertigo but I'm a little split because doesn't a lot of it stl tie into mainline DC in a way? I know it's its own universe, but a lot of the characters are just established DC guys wth different stories, no?

I think Slade's "intelligence" stats should be rated as "extraordinary genius". His enhanced mind/mental capacity is described as a "super-computer designed to process information and break it down with superior tactical and strategic thought" (source: Deathstroke (Volume 2, issue #9), by his own admission. It would make sense to change the intel stat as such.

Deathstroke (Post-Flashpoint)

Slade Joseph Wilson, aka Deathstroke, joined the military at age sixteen, was an exceptional soldier and earned his fair share of medals. He volunteered for "Project X", which granted him enhanced reflexes, strength, mental capacity and rapid healing. After going AWOL in Bosnia, and winning his...

Given permission, I could make minor changes.

Kryptonian/Daxamite Physiology. Good page idea or too inconsistent to use?

Yes, yes, yes, 100% yes.

Might as well post this here.

If anyone’s willing to read a lot of comics and revise our atrocious street level profiles, the help would be greatly appreciated.
