Talk:Grasshopper (character)

wild theory, could someone confirm?

There is a striking similarity between the Grasshopper armors and the exoskeleton prototype developed by a company rival to OsCorp in the first Spiderman film. It's greenish, with insect like legs and dies immediately after appearing on screen. Could that be a possible inspiration for the character?

Creators

Listing Ty Templeton, Fabian Nicieza and Kieron Dwyer as "creators" is erroneous. The character was created by Dan Slott and designed by Paul Pelletier, subsequent artists have merely used Pelletier's design. Furthermore, Nicieza had no contribution to the segment of the issue that Grasshopper III appeared in. Slott and Pelletier should be listed as creators of Grasshopper I and for the other two just Slott. [1] (Link - Slott says "I wrote all of the Squirrel Girl interludes".)

First off, in the future, please sign your talkpage posts by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of the post; it makes it easier for people reading it later to keep track of who said what, and when.

Secondly, based on the cite in that post, I just removed Nicieza's name from Grasshopper III's creators list, since he didn't have a hand in writing that section. However, until such time as someone shows me a source saying that Templeton and Dwyer directly copied Pelletier's design for the Grasshopper armor without making any changes, I'm going to leave them in, since the standard seems to be that the first person who drew a particular character is a creator, regardless of whether they based it visually on someone else's design for a similar character. (Witness Rob Liefeld being credited as a creator of Deadpool, despite how blatantly he ripped off Deathstroke's George Perez-designed look...) Rdfox 76 16:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Merging the two Grasshopper articles

There is no good reason for there to be two seperate articles for this single character. I would suggest they be merged together. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by E.T.Smith (talk • contribs) .

I agree. I generated the original versions of this page and it initially included both. --sigmafactor 02:17, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Absolute agreement. It was an idiotic decision to seperate it. Elijya 14:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

For a frame of reference in reconciling all existing versions, this was the last combined revision of the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grasshopper_%28comics%29&oldid=36251365 --sigmafactor 15:47, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

It's all fine 'n dandy merging it back but are y'all forgetting (and well since it seems you only suggest merging instead of doing it), that the singular grasshopper article needed to a clean-up. After chatting to some of other wikiadmins, they suggested splitting the article as the two superhero boxes were too big for the article itself, making the singular article look like well seriously (for lack of a better term) "crappy". and unless something can be done about a little article with two superheroboxes why bother merging for a completely minor-lister like the Grasshoppers.

I don't see why the article would need two different "superhero boxes", since there isn't any information that can't be consolidated into one.

Exactly. Numerous articles have held a superhero-box for multiple heroes (most notably Hourman before it was split up in different articles). They should definitely be re-merged. Kusonaga 17:38, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Blue Beetle

I think that a comment on the similarity to Blue Beetle is proper. Both are a sort of Spider-Man/Iron Man hybrid with credibility problems. Luis Dantas 21:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
