Talk:Eradicator (character)

Powers and Abilities

I came to this article looking for an idea of what the Eradicator's Powers and Abilities are. That would make a great new section to this article. -- CrimsonLine 12:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Ditto, I was expecting to see a section for that. I would love to know more about the Eradicator. Bhold1 07:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Encyclopedic Past Tense

Much of this article is written in the present tense; it should be rewritten to use the past tense, to better fit an encyclopedic style. -- CrimsonLine 12:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

....

Done! It still needs some editing as the story seems very disjointed at the moment. Sadly my knowledge of Superman history is inadequate. -- Fogbat 22 August, 2006.

Not that I think it matters either way, but I believe the Wikipedia guidelines recommend using the present tense for articles describing fictional events. Daibhid C 23:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

It does matter, and present tense is considered the appropriate tense to use in this type of article. Rray 14:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Kryptonian Genetic Link to Krypton

The bit about Kryptonians dying if they leave their planet can't be right, How can Superman live on Earth if its true. 209.198.164.98 08:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

He was the exception. In fact I think Jor-El deliberately altered his genetic structure, so he could escape. That's why, despite their advanced technology, no-one was offplanet when it happened, and there weren't any other rocketships available. Of course, everything's been retconned mutltiple times since then, and now we have a new Kara Zor-El, Kryptonian villaians etc., all of whom left Krypton without any trouble. Daibhid C

Eradicator I

Hank Henshaw isn't the only Eradicator in the comic pages. I have on my lap the Who's Who comic runs (the original and its updates) and State Senator Creed Phillips was the first user of the moniker in the course of Barry Allen's career as the Flash in a blue costume with glowing red eyes in this identity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.252.198.99 (talk) 01:51, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hank Henshaw was never the Eradicator.129.139.1.68 (talk) 20:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Re Phillips: yep, starting with Flash 314 (October 1982), identity revealed in issue 318. (See e.g. Dc.wikia.)

Creed Phillips (The Eradicator) only lasted from Flash #314 to #320. He got a half page write up in the 1985 DC Who's Who. I put him in the article but he was so minor there isn't much on him. As of Superman #2 (2016) it looks like we may have an another Eradicator. We will have to wait to see if this is a New-52 or a continuation of the Post-Crisis version.--BruceGrubb (talk) 13:24, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Sounds like a blatant rip off... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.49.126 (talk) 18:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Eradicator vs. Krypto

I've put a reference to the Eradicator hunting down Krypto as an anomaly into hidden text, because it doesn't seem to fit with the account of Eradicator learning about the false Krypton in Man of Steel #114. There's probably an issue dealing with this that I either don't have or can't find; if anyone knows where the "Eradicator vs. Krypto" story comes from, please mention it here and I can put the text back and make a full citation. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 23:07, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
