QPQ: Done.

Overall: @FormalDude: Good article, but the hooks are very uninteresting. The first hook, while true, is very basic and could probably be better done. The second isn't interesting. It's unsurprising that a superhero made during the cold war would participate in the cold war. Everything else is fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onegreatjoke (talk • contribs) 01:24, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
