[edit] Return of Sue

Later in the series, it has been announced that Sue will be resurrected.

Do we know this or is this spec? -- Ipstenu 13:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

The article states that only one other DCU character has been known to take Gingold. I believe (pre-crisis) Jimmy Olsen was able to take it and was an honorary member of the Legion Of Superheroes.

This needs to be fixed. Olsen first became Elastic Lad after being exposed to an unknown alien liquid that Superman brought back from space. Later, Professor Potter produced a synthetic liquid that produces the same effect. No Gingold in sight.

Just to be the devil's advocate- how do we know the liquid Superman brought back from space wasn't Gingold? :-p -Toptomcat 03:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming of article

If the current de-powered, detective, civilian, non-superhero incarnation of the Elongated Man character 'sticks', it may be appropriate to rename this article 'Ralph Dibney'. Thoughts? -Toptomcat 16:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

How long before we consider it to "stick," though? I think redirecting from searches on "Ralph Dibny" should cover it for now, but if some else takes over being Elongated Man, a rename might be appropriate.VanPelt101 20:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Leave it here for now. CovenantD 23:36, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batman Schizo

I won't buy The Dark Knight Strikes Again because its art is hideous. That said, apparently, according to this article, Ralph helps Batman fight against Batman. So who wants to replace the wrong 'Batman' with the right character?

The article is correct. Batman is defeated by Batman, because he was prepared. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.171.60.23 (talk) 05:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] DKR

I've been scowering The Dark Knight Returns to find this Ralph Dibny reference and can't find it, so someone tell me where it is or take off that he's in it. --002Kflash052

Ralph Dibney is mentioned on the last line of the text prologue of the first issue of DKR.

[edit] Helm of Fate

I don't think that's the actual object used by Dr. Fate. Rather, a duplicate created by Faust.

You should read 52; they say that directly there. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 03:49, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kingdom Come

In Kingdom Come Ralph is all stretched out and cannot control his stretching.

I don't recall this anywhere in Kingdom Come. Lots42 04:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nick

Fans say a lot of things. The Nick and Nora sentiment, though applicable, should go if not cited by someone noteable. Lots42 10:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
