Using a secondary source to write trope examples is murky at best. For example, you shouldn't be writing trope examples from a film based on what a reviewer says about it, even one as praised as Siskel and Ebert.

If you don't have access to the work itself, then you are probably engaging in Speculative Troping.

If that's the https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_Database wiki, it's not official and it gets a few things wrong.

Also, being for mature audiences doesn't mean it isn't less canon: Jessica Jones was also under that same label.

It's just Howard the Duck MAX, as far as I can tell, is a pisstake, so its addition to canon are irrelevant and probably won't jive well with Marvel's greater universe. Like there was a group of Endless parodies that followed the naming scheme of the seven dwarves. I already commented out Yahweh's character folder, I was wondering if I should change his description and just tropes that apply to him in general (like how he's Ambiguously Related to the One Above All or how he's obviously God).
