Talk:Black Spider

DC Comics Encyclopedia Notes

The DC Comics Encyclopedia confirms that Eric Needham was freed from the astral world when Lucifer shut Hell down in Sandman, and was the Eric Needham seen in those late issues of Sandman.

Simularities to Spider-Man?

I find it hard to believe that Marvel would stand by and let DC create a character that resembled Spider-Man without any threat of legal action. Unless there's a source for that line it should be removed.Rickremember (talk) 06:46, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of what some (rude) overzealous (Young Justice) editors would have you believe, it happens all the time. Several characters in either universe look suspiciously like characters from the other. Deadpool (Wade Wilson)/Deathstroke (Slade Wilson) is a prime example. 65.204.124.130 (talk) 22:15, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your opinion, 65.204.124.130. However, we aren't allowed to use your opinion. We need a cited reference from a reliable, notable source making that comparison. Anything short of that is speculation - something we don 't allow here in Wikipedia. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 00:39, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

I think what 65 is talking about is that you seem to have a tendency to bite the bejesus out of anyone who edits anything you edit. Which is a bit evident in your reply. They were clearly referencing the tendency Marvel and DC has to, shall we say, "sample" each other's cast of characters here on the talk page. They didn't attempt to edit anything in the body of the article without citation. Although I'm willing to bet a wealth of citations supporting that claim could be easily found.

That's quite possibly the most inaccurate statement I've ever heard about me. If I tend to get a bit irate after someone goes all edit-war-y when I explain that we need sources, then I'm guilty as charged. However, I don't tell anyone to fuck off, grow a brain or learn to spell. I am sorry that my demeanor bothers you, person I've never interacted with before, but it takes all kinds to build a Wikipedia; I'm just the guy who's asking for citations.

Speaking of which, if you are willing to do go out and find the wealth of reliably sourced citations out there connecting the two, that would be splendid. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:49, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

who was in Secret Six?

This article currently says that both the first and third Black Spider were sent after the Get out of Hell Free card. Were there two Black Spiders on the team, or should one of them be removed? Argento Surfer (talk) 19:29, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Someone made a mistake. Only the first Black Spider was sent to get the card. I have the issue, and he's wearing Eric Needham's costume. Derrick Coe has a different outfit altogether. --71.54.134.152 (talk) 21:59, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
