I vote YES, is my vote counts for anything. But even if not, my opinion: Wasn't the point of the wiki originally to let people know which comic characters were available, with the idea being that it would allow people to discover new characters to be used in their own comics/writing/whatever? If the intent was for a database of characters that people can use without worry of copyright, then I see no difference between heroes who've been in comics and any other character/location/whatever that fits a 'comic mold', so anyone who could reasonably be included in a comic series, or with the potential to be reinvented thus, should definitely be included, just stick them in a category for "Non-Comic Characters" as opposed to "Comic Characters". It doesn't clutter up the wiki if those who want to see only comic characters just have to click on a simple category. It's not like it doesn't already include public domain characters who have already migrated to comics from another source, and to me the difference between 'originally from elsewhere, has been in a comic' and 'originally from elsewhere, has YET to be in a comic' is a thin one. They're public domain characters, there's no restriction on them moving into a comic, so why restrict the pool of possible sources here? 202.154.111.174 02:15, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
