Foolkiller

This is one of the best articles on a comic book character I've seen. Especially given the obscurity of the character. This article, more than any other article I've seen on a comic book character gives a sense of humanity to the character instead of just what he does in his adventures and what his superpowers are. Even the cover illustrations are given. This really will want to make someone track down this series. Mr. ATOZ 18:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Object. Please take this to Peer review, where I'll gladly point out the multitude of things wrong with this article. «LordViD» 18:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Object. There are no references, the lead is very short, I'm not too fond on the gallery in the 'Foolkiller (Marvel, 1990-91) ten-issue limited series' section. 'Powers and abilities' section should be turned into prose and merged into another larger section. Notes need to be turned into footnotes (see Wikipedia:Footnote). Refer to peer review for more specific comments/suggestions. — Wackymacs 18:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Object per Johnleemk and Wackymacs. See Captain Marvel (DC Comics) for an example of a comic book character featured article. -Scm83x 02:21, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Object. This was an article written by a fan, not a scholar. Aside from the sparse introductory paragraph, it reads like an encyclopedia article existing within the character's fictional world—like it came from the Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe—rather than an article in ours describing how the character was created and used over the years by expressing "facts" about the character only in terms of the works of fiction that expressed them. Captain Marvel (DC Comics) is absolutely fabulous, on the other hand—that's how an article about a fictional subject should be written. Context, context, context. Postdlf 01:22, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
