Left to be done

I just finished "spinning" the three sections on the books more towards a character description than a plot summary. Now all that's left is to redo the "Description" section and its subsections -- to add sources and out-of-universe perspective. More references anywhere would be lovely, as would a brief section on any character development that happens in the crossovers.

I'd also like to see an image for this article, at least to illustrate the "whitewashing" controversy, but there could be problems finding/using fair-use media to fit that need. I've done pretty much all I can do for the moment however, so another editor is going to need to take up the crusade. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 01:35, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
