Our rules regarding alternative timeline Marvel and DC Comics characters

[Antvasima]

That should do it, yes. Thank you.

Demonstrate examples of these inconsistencies.

• Unimportant: Overman (Post-Crisis)
• Important: Frank Miller's Batman (or Superman)

"Alternative Canon/Non-Canonical profiles for Marvel and DC Comics can only be created if the version in question was prominently featured in their own runs, and scale to their own feats instead of presuming to scale to their Earth-616 counterparts."

I'd just replace "Earth-616" with "main canon" or so, as I'm sure Marvel uses a different notation system for universes from DC and vice-versa, and are like, separate franchises to say the least.

Agreed. It is also easier for visitors to understand.

Seems good.

Well, at the very least we need to mention that "What If?" characters should have some measure of notability (be well-known/popular) and only scale to their own feats, if we do not do so already.

Not sure if we still do this, but there at least were a few profiles with "What If?" or alternate universe portrayals as separate keys.

Were, I believe I fixed most of them

So is it fine if we add the following rule text then?

"Alternative canon/non-canonical profiles for Marvel and DC Comics can only be created if the version in question was prominently featured in their own runs, and scale to their own feats instead of being presumed to scale to their main canon counterparts."

So about this...

 

[Firestorm808]

That seems fine. Something comparable to say the original Ultimate Spiderman run aka Miles Morales.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for the reply. Is it fine for the rest of you as well if I add that rule text?

 

[The_Impress]

Ye sure

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will do so then.

Is it fine if we close this thread now as well?

 

[The_Impress]

yeye

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I have done so.

Thank you to everybody who helped out in this thread.
