[edit] Welcome
Though I hail from the profession of the comic book arts, I have cultivated, through this brief life journey, an extensive range of pursuits touching on our collective socio-historic evolution. Some are noted in the Wikipedia biography: Michael Netzer.
Through this brief encounter with the Wikipedia project, and in seeking to understand the expanding mechanism under which it operates, I have become duly admirable of the sheer power and extent of the raw human resources it harnesses. The audacious scope of influence Wikipedia aspires to, can be as a match made in heaven for one as ambitious as I.
The Wikipedia project reveals itself as a compelling and accurate reflection of our socio-evolutionary tendencies within this electronics age.
It is a privilege to contribute toward enhancing its content.

[edit] Every Civilization Needs a Messiah
- Messiahs are a rare breed of individualists.
- Messiahs' hearts reside with the collective goodwill.
- Messiahs are traditionally lax and lazy.
- Messiahs inspire achievement.
- Messiahs are respectful of everyone.
- Messiahs are afraid of no one.
- Messiahs are determinately multi-personified.
- Messiahs ride the crest of both heroism and villainy.
- Messiahs are emotionally charged.
- Messiahs are surprisingly articulate.
- Messiahs look for ways to smooth out wrinkles.
- Messiahs cause chaos wherever they go.
- Messiahs like to be bold.
- Messiahs like to be heard.
- Messiahs thrive in community environs.
- Messiahs love encyclopedias.
- Messiahs die for the love of community encyclopedias.
- Messiahs are gathering everywhere preparing to invade Wikipedia.
If you detect a Messiah anywhere within the Wikipedia project, you must immediately notify an administrator. Do not touch it nor attempt to speak with it. Messiahs possess a mesmerizing ability to make one forget what it is they were afraid of.
WHEN I STARTED DRAWING COMIC BOOKS at the age of 19, way back in 1975, I was really still just a kid. Within a couple of years of working with Neal Adams and getting adopted into the family of comics makers, I had drawn Batman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow and Black Canary, White Tiger, Challengers of the Unknown, Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, Legion of Superheroes, Kobra and a bunch more.
The family of comics makers was full of special people like Neal and Dick Giordano, Alan Weiss, Marshall Rogers, Joe Barney, Larry Hama, Jim Starlin, Craig Russell, Jim Steranko, Russ Heath, Gray Morrow, Jim Sherman, Berni Wrightson, Howard Chaykin, Walter Simonson, Louise Simonson, Joseph Rubinstein, Mike Kaluta, Barry Windsor-Smith, Jeff Jones, Dave Cockrum, Mike Grell, George Perez, Bob McLeod, Carl Potts, Cary Bates, Elliot Maggin, Terry Austin, Keith Pollard, Rich Buckler, Arvell Jones, Mike Vosburg, Val Mayerick, Sandy Plunkett and even a young Frank Miller.. and a whole lot more who are too many to mention here, and are all very talented and good people. We were as tight as any family could be and it was a very magical time for the comics makers. An inspiring era that I'm sure we all share very fond memories of.
THE THING ABOUT COMICS MAKERS is that they see things that a lot of other people don't. Comics makers understand the world a little better and can see how everything works and where it's going. It's a special talent they have because they love to imagine and to tell the most fantastical stories the world has ever heard. Because of this special love and talent, comics makers can also see better into the future than most other people and they like to tell stories about what things will be like in the future. That's the biggest talent that the people who make comics have.
So back around that time, after having made comic books for a couple of years, some of that talent that the comics makers have to see the future began rubbing off on me too. It rubbed off pretty strong actually. So strong that I started seeing how our world was heading for some tough times and that the comics makers were going to step in to make things alright again. Dont't ask me how I could see this, I just could. You have to take my word for it. It's like this drawing I did back in 1978 while making comics:
You see, that's what I mean. It's not important how I could see that. I'm also not the only one who could see something like this would happen. I just happened to draw it then, so it'll be easier for you to believe this story I'm telling today. Just click here to see the original comics page it comes from, drawn in 1978. 23 years before it actually happened.
I know I could have just shut up about all this and kept on making regular comic books. I know that. But you know, this was so serious that I thought we should start doing something about it even back then. I might have jumped the gun a little, actually. I know that too. But I just couldn't keep on doing the regular stuff knowing how tough things were going to get and how much work there was to do when the day comes. So I just up and left the family and went out to the mountains of California to think about it all and see what we could start doing about it.
NOW I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OF STORIES ABOUT ME and about how I became religious and that I think that I'm the messiah and all that. This is mostly all rumors because some of it is true but it's not the way you've heard it at all. I've never really been religious. I just sort of got into it to see what it was all about. I've learnt the material pretty well, actually. It's pretty amazing how far away religion is from the Bible. It's just the way things are and there's no use harping too much on it. What is important has nothing to do with being religious. It has to do with doing the right thing and being humble and knowing our place in this world and not making a show of being religious. That was Jesus' biggest teaching and the religious people of his time killed him for saying it. So I just wanted to clarify all that before going on with this story about how the comics makers are going to tell some great stories and help set things right in this world again.
