Is there any Wikipedia-appropriate way to mention that Equus' appearance and basic concept are remarkably similar to those of the Wildstorm character Seth (created in 2001 by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely in 2001)? 68.20.30.157 01:33, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so, since that's a personal observation/opinion/POV, rather than one that is sourced and cited. Indeed, many characters and their "looks" in comics are recycled, and while there is a resemblance, the similarities between the two seem superficial to me. Unless we can illustrate any relevance to that resemblance, I'd not put it in there.Nightscream 04:18, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Updated to Superman #207 Only

I just read the first trade paperback collecting the first half of "For Tomorrow", so I'm not sure if Equus appeared in the remainder of that storyline. If anyone who has already read the entire storyline in monthly form knows this, and can update the Character History section, please do so. Thanks. Nightscream 11:58, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Equus does appear in the second half of the storyline. When Superman arrives in Metropia, Equus is working for Zod. Simon Beavis

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Superman206.jpg

Image:Superman206.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
