The "The Trope" cleanup

Changed ComicBook.Deadpool's intro into this:

The Merc with a Mouth. Ryan Reynolds. Marvel's Meta Jerkass Woobie.

A sexy mother-fucker.

Hahaha, funny one!

Absolute Rainbow

Agreed

Axed most of ComicBook.ThePunisher's intro like we agreed. Here's what said intro looks like now:

The Scourge of the Underworld.

The Punisher is a Judge, Jury, and Executioner, a Marvel Comics vigilante whose only passion is finding and executing criminals. The Punisher first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #129 (February, 1974), created by writer Gerry Conway, along with artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru.

Looks much better in getting the point across.

Hi!

I found this on General Zod's page: Krypton's Former Best Military General. Savior of New Krypton. Jor-El's Former Friend. Superman's Dark Kryptonian Reflection.

The Human Alien Supervillain.

Hi!

I'd just cut the "The" on sight, since it's a chained sinkhole across three different tropes. The rest of it is too, but it could probably be restructured to something like:

Kryptonian soldier turned barbaric warrior. Ex-heterosexual life partner of Jor-El. As discreet as Batman's Shadow Archetype should be.

A household name. A House of Zod name.

Silver and gold, silver and gold

Yeah, definitely

Hi!

Can I put your rewrite on the page?

Sure

Silver and gold, silver and gold

Put Coachpill's paragraph in SupermanGeneralZod's page like I said I would but changed the "as discreet as Batman's Shadow Archetype should be" section to "as discreet as Superman's Shadow Archetype should be" because that's what I assumed they meant.

Found this on ComicBook.TheFlash: The Flash. The Scarlet Speedster. The Crimson Comet. The Sultan of Speed. The Scarlet Knight. The Fastest Man Alive.

The Speedster.

At least keep The Scarlet Speedster and The Fastest Man Alive as those are his canon stuff but cut the rest.

Hi!

Here's Spider-Man: The Wallcrawler, the Webhead and the Webslinger. The King of Taunts and Snark. The Everyman Hero. The (non-sidekick) Teen Superhero, The Heart of the Marvel Universe and Company.

He's Amazing! He's Sensational! He's Spectacular!

He's just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!

Hi!

Trawling the Marvel Comics Cosmic Entities pages has lead to these: All For One: All-Powerful Bystander: THE all-powerful bystander. When he interacts with beings, it is usually to heal them (either physically or emotionally) or to assist heroes in ways only an extraordinarily powerful entity could, if they need help. His bystander nature is justified since his only weapon is love.

One Below All: Almighty Janitor: The Marvel example. An Eldritch Abomination below everything and everyone, both literally and figuratively, yet is The Anti-God of the whole of Marvel and the all-powerful Hulk persona of The One Above All.

Hi!

I'd say cut the first paragraph but keep the rest.

Fixed ComicBook.The Flash here's the new intro:

The Scarlet Speedster. The Fastest Man Alive.

The Speedster.

Fixed Characters.SupermanLexLuthor too

Could you expand ComicBook.The Flash to a more informative preface? It doesn't have to be overly formal, but the top paragraph in the current page is too lacking to fill in an unfamiliar reader.

When I rewrote the Superman comic book I condensed them into a new preface that contains his official nickname, his creators, his first appearance, and a short assessment that he's one of the most famous Superhero in American comics (which I think feels well earned for him). A paragraph like this would be more helpful without being too gushing.

alright, did my best

I'm not all too confident in this so if anyone's got any tips on how to improve it, I'm open.

I'd say drop the first two and you're golden. Also, what about my Marvel stuff?

Hi!

If you're talking about Characters.Marvel Comics Cosmic Entities, I can't find said sentences in the respective folders.

Sounds better. How about writing more like this, combining yours with some of the current description in the page (I'm not very familiar with the comics so I'm following your lead):

---

The Flash — a.k.a. the Scarlet Speedster — is a DC Comics superhero originally created by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert. First appearing in Flash Comics #1 (1940) during The Golden Age of Comic Books, he's The Speedster of The DCU and has been credited as the Trope Codifier of Super-Speed tropes in comics.

The series stars the eponymous character, the Fastest Man Alive, though the title of the Flash has been held by multiple people over the decades. The first person to succeed Jay Garrick, the original flash, was named Barry Allen who would then pass on the mantle to his nephew, Wally West after his death in Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Here are the respective sentences: The One Above All: All-Powerful Bystander: THE all-powerful bystander. The One Below All: Almighty Janitor: The Marvel example. An Eldritch Abomination below everything and everyone, both literally and figuratively, yet is The Anti-God of the whole of Marvel and the all-powerful Hulk persona of The One Above All.

Hi!

Can I just steal what you wrote?
