[edit] The Blur

The Blur does not belong in a category for the superhero The Whizzer, having never used that name. He's simply other Marvel super-speedster, and no one other superhero entry lumps together, say, all archers under Hawkeye. And there certainly shouldn't be a Blur picture in an image sidebar that refers to the Whizzer's first appearance in USA Comics #1, etc. -- the two charactes are completely unrelated. Moving Blur to his own entry, and remming-out image box until a proper Whizzer/USA Comics/etc. image can go in its place. Tenebrae 17:54, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Blur following Pc13 Reversion

I have once more removed the Blur -- as I just noted at User talk:Pc13 as well as here now -- noted because The Blur does not belong in a category for the superhero The Whizzer, having never used that name.

No one looking for The Blur who didn't already know who he was would look for him under The Whizzer.

The relationship -- an alternate-universe (MAX) version OF an alnerate-universe (Squadron Supreme) version of a Golden Age hero -- is extremely tangential. Any explanations as to the Blur's background can be addressed in his own entry. Please do not revert unilaterally without Discussion. -- Tenebrae 13:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

As I said in Tenebrae's talk page, the Blur makes no sense without the Whizzer to put him in context. The Blur is not a MAX version of an alternate-universe version of a Golden Age hero, because the Squadron Supreme Whizzer is not an alternate-universe version of the Golden Age Whizzer. He is a parody of another company's character, namely, the Flash.

Since both characters are called Stanley Stewart, and Supreme Power is a revision of the Squadron Supreme, there is no need to scatter the information. Likewise, the entry on James Sanders remains on the Whizzer page, even though the character is now called Speed Demon.

Also, Tenebrae simply erased the Blur from the Whizzer's entry, and did not bother to move it to the The Blur, which is still a redirect to Whizzer.

I'd also like to point out that although Tenebrae has asked on my talk page not to revert without discussion, he has removed the Blur without a discussion having taken place [1] -- Pc13 13:57, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

The content's at Blur (comics) (which needs categorised, BTW). The Blur would be going against the Wikipedia:Naming Conventions (comics). I also added a "See also" link to Blur (comics) on the Whizzer page.

Abrasive as he's been about it though, I have to go with Tenebrae on this one. Maybe a mention at the end of the SqSup Whizzer section would be a good idea, but having the content at Blur (comics) makes a lot more sense. - SoM 15:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
