The DC villain has two entries:

1) http://www.comicvine.com/ventriloquist/5767/

and

2) http://www.comicvine.com/the-ventriloquist/25080/

These two entries should be combined.

Mike Deodato has two creator pages:

1) http://www.comicvine.com/mike-deodato/24016/

and

2) http://www.comicvine.com/mike-deodato-jr/21341/

It seems that #1 often comes up first when one does a 'add writer or artist search'. Unfortunately #2 is the correct full name for this artist. This means that both pages have many significant works for this artist that only appear on one of these pages.

I propose merging the two pages into entry #2.

The overview page for artist Wellington Alves is labled "Wellinton" Alves.

This should be corrected.

I have been having the same problem. I just edited Al Rio's overview at http://www.comicvine.com/al-rio/13289/, the preview looked fine, but even though the submission page says the update is successful, nothing was updated. The system still gave me the points for it but nothing happened. So, I did the same update a second time, same result (previews OK, update completed, points given, no update).

Shatterstar and fesak, if you fixed this problem let me know how it was done.

Here is the code I entered to so that you can see if there are any problems with it:

Al Rio was one of the first of many brilliant Brazilian artists who broke into American comics. He is noted for his hyper-feminine and beautifully drawn female characters, and for his pin-ups.

Some of the books that have enjoyed the pencil of Al Rio includ long runs on [[DV8:vol:6537]] and [[Gen 13:vol:5667]], as well as covers for [[Avengelyne:char:8247]], [[Banzai Girl:vol:19391]], [[The Coven:char:42930]], [[Mystic:vol:9205]], [[Titan A.E.:vol:19838]], and interior pencils for [[Heroes for Hire:vol:6003]] and [[Prime:vol:5148]].

He has also drawn for his own created series such as [[Exposure:vol:19489]] and [[Exposure: Second Coming:vol:19490]].

Al Rio has been one of the most prolific artists working on the [[Purgatori:char:42482]] series of books for Chaos! Comics. He has also done several covers for Bill Tucci's [[Shi:char:24864]] books.

Currently Al Rio is working for Zenescope Entertainment drawing [[Grimm Fairy Tales:vol:19824]] and [[Grimm Fairy Tales Return To Wonderland:vol:19825]], and for Harris doing covers for [[Vampirella:char:1677]] Quarterly. He has also produced some funny and very gruesome horror covers for the CDs of the rock band Necro.

Much of Al Rio's art is in nude and erotic works and can't be displayed on Comic Vine. Rio has published several books containing his erotic art such as The Art of Al Rio, The Art of Al Rio Volume Two, Exposed: The Erotic Art of Al Rio, and Luscious: The Collected Art of Al Rio.

Other books that he has done, that due to their adult nature can't be displayed here, include: Ana Jungle Girl, Angel Girl, [[Jungle Fantasy:vol:19826]] (some of the tamer works can be seen here on Comic Vine), Raw Media, Secret Files, and [[Threshold:vol:19837]] (again, some of the milder covers can be seen here).

There are two entries for Banzai Girl:

1) http://www.comicvine.com/comic/banzai-girl/19392/

and

2) http://www.comicvine.com/comic/banzai-girl/19391/

I propose the deletion of entry #1

Three entires for artist Jimmy Palmiotti.

1) http://www.comicvine.com/jimmy-palmiotti/3068/

2) http://www.comicvine.com/james-palmiotti/26163/

3) http://www.comicvine.com/jim-palmiotti/25537/

I think #2 & #3 should be combined into #1.

Princess Leia Organa-Solo

1) http://www.comicvine.com/leia/33510/

2) http://www.comicvine.com/princess-leia-organa/2591/

3) http://www.comicvine.com/princess-leia-organa/6316/

4) http://www.comicvine.com/princess-leia-organa/12556/

The entry with the correct name:

5) http://www.comicvine.com/princess-leia-organa-solo/6371/

The entry with all the galleries:

6) http://www.comicvine.com/princess-leia/33545/

I vote for all of them being combined into #5 (princess-leia-organa-solo/6371/)

X-Babies! Yuck. I mean, I'm as weird as the next fanboy, but that was just a bit too much for me.

On the other hand, it you want to see Art Adams at his best, the Tom Strong books (especially with Jonni Future) were particularly good.

I'm not sure that physiological considerations really come into it when talking about comic book superheroes, except for low-end characters within a factor of 2 of normal human strength.

In any case I am not really talking about the medium or low end strength characters. For example, if you imagine a standard main battle tank (about 60 tons), then the list of who can lift a medium mass object like a tank seems OK.

But once you get to the class 100 and above the rate of progression is way too shallow. Instead of 125/250/500 it should be more like 1,000/100,000/1,000,000 tons. I mean really, think about it -- the class 500 types like Thanos, Gladiator, Hulk or Silver Surfer can't lift a patrol boat, or the US space shuttle? That just does not work for me.

The classic image of a strong superhero is lifting a ship out of the water. Any high-end strength-based hero should be able to do this. This means that Marvel's levels are way too low.

For example, a Nimitz class aircraft carrier masses about 80,000 tons, a battleship masses about 50,000 tones, and even a small Coast Guard patrol cutter will mass over 3,000 tons! This would mean that even an enraged Hulk could not pick up a small patrol boat! That is not even taking into account modern cargo ships and oil tankers which often mass over 200,000 tons.

This is not even taking into account the mass of space ships or aircraft. A small space ship like the US space shuttle (not including booster rocket) masses over 2,000 tons. A large cargo/passenger aircraft like the old 747 masses 190 tons stripped down and maxes at 430 tons with a full load. This means that Hyperion or even Thor might not be able to lift a 747. That is just too weird to imagine.

These Marvel power class numbers are off by at least a factor of 200.
