Talk:Firebrand (DC Comics)

message: Yep, you're right, Ipstenu. There was a 3rd Firebrand in a 1995 series by Brian Augustyn. I think his name was "Alex Sanchez", but I don't know much about him.Btw, great article! Regards, —Lesfer (talk/@) 19:47, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahah!  Alex Sanchez.  That's the guy.  He got his throat slit in the JSA Secret files back in 2001.  I remember seeing that and thinking 'Firewho now?' -- Ipstenu 20:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 90's Firebrand

message: Should we name the section Alexander 'Alex' Sanchez or Alex Sanchez? Both are totally valid, as he was known as Alex, but his full name is Alexander.  I lean towards the 'known as' name, personally. But let's not have an edit war over it :) -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 02:09, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the "known as" name suits better for a header. His full name is already written in the article itself, anyway. 201.37.38.94 04:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, and Dick Grayson is a good example of using the 'nickname' (BTW, it might be a good idea to not change the section name till we can reach a consensus, or we'll end up in the revert hell I was seeing over the last couple days. Let's all respect each other). -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 13:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoops!  Guess I should have read this section in the discussion forum before I edited the entry.  Anyway, my source (the Unofficial Guide to the DC Universe, ) says Firebrand III's first name was Alejandro, or Alex for short.  I changed the headings accordingly, as well as adding infoboxes, a cover scan for Firebrand III, and some issue cites.  And I deleted the homosexual speculation about Firebrand I, since there didn't seem to be any documentation for it, apart from the one line in All-Star Squadron #5.Konczewski 17:35, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I like the One infobox, but I'm a tiny bit perturbed that all my copyediting and external links were deleted.  I'll go back over the article and fix.Konczewski 17:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I was cut and pasting between three windows and scrolling back and forth :( I didn't mean to miss anything, but I'm sure I did. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 18:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: eh, no biggie.  I was able to fix it in no time.  I guess my League of Copyeditors badge was chaffing. :-) Konczewski 18:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Alex vs Alexander?

message: Speaking of facts, does anyone have proof that the second Firebrand was named after Dann(ette) Thomas?  I haven't found any citations on the web to prove it.  And since Danette Reilly was created by Perez and Conway (I assume before the Thomas' got hold of her), it seems really unlikely.  I think we should delete the line until hard proof surfaces.Konczewski 18:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I want to say that Danette wasn't named until Thomas showed up, and previously was 'a sister' ... But I can't remember when we first get her name. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 18:16, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Whadya know, I found a source!  Roy Thomas wrote an article on the All-Star Squadron for Alter Ego, and he comes out and says he named Dannette after his (then fiance) Dannette.  The article also shows that Perez and Conway only wrote the first appearance of Dannette/Firebird; Thomas is the creator.  I'll add the footnote.Konczewski 18:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Um... there seems to be a mistake with regards to her creators. The section of JLofA #193 where she appeared was a "free preview"/prologie to All-Star Squadron #1. While Conway and Perez did the JLA story, Thomas and Rich Buckler did the All-Star Squadron "issue". I've trimmed the 'box accordingly. And since, by all appearances, she was created with issue #5 always being the intent, I've left it as just 1 creators field. - J Greb 18:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I just didn't explain it very well in my earlier Talk entry.  My understanding from Thomas's article in Alter Ego is that he created the character, then handed it over to Perez and Conway for the insert.  Apparently, DC did a bunch of these inserts in 1981 to promote all their new titles (like New Teen Titans, Blue Devil, and Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew).Konczewski 19:15, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Say, now that we've done all this work, how do we get this article rerated?  I don't think it's Start class any more, and I'd hardly call it Low importance.Konczewski 19:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
