[edit] Merge proposal

Shockwave Rider (mecha) into Nextwave, and edit it down to a much smaller piece - because fun as the 'Rider is, it doesn't warrant its own article. It parodies a couple of aspects of the Authority's Carrier, but it's not a major part of most storylines. --Mrph 00:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

• I don't know. The Nextwave article is so good as it is that I'd hate to add unimportant information to it (I mean, how important has the Shockwave Rider been to their story so far?). I guess, if you had to merge them, you can cut down some of the Shockwave info and maybe put it into a subsection of "Plot." - Lex 04:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd agree - that was more or less what I was thinking of. Sorry, should have made that clear - comments amended accordingly. --Mrph 07:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In the Marvel Universe

The only thing that suggests that Nextwave does not take place in the Marvel Universe is a remark by Joe Quesada at a hype panel that it is considered to be a separate universe for the time being. This sort of information is pretty unreliable, per the WikiProject editorial guidelines. Otherwise, there is no reason to believe that this series is separate from the Marvel Universe. Marvel characters appear in the series, Monica and Aaron look like their Nextwave incarnations in the other comics they appear in, Monica refers to Nextwave when talking to Black Panther in his series, and Black Panther and Storm receive a huge gun from Dirk Anger at their wedding. This is all much more reliable than promotional information. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 04:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
