message: ...well, that's shaken things up a bit. It might be worth waiting 'til #6 is out, but there are a number of major retcons in #5. --Mrph 23:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we know for certain that the goddess' first appearance was in 2009, and that all previous appearances were of the naiad? See my rationale at the comics project talk page. BOZ (talk) 23:58, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: What you say here is an easy and logical assumption to make, however there has been no confirmation of this in the comic book and therefore could be considered WP:OR. I'd be okay with it if a concensus of the editors agree and then Vensus's fictional history can be sorted between the two characters. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 12:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd have no idea how to separate them without some input from the writers - which I'm hoping happens at some point in Agents of Atlas and/or The Incredible Hercules; if not there, then at least an OHOTMU type handbook. I mean, there are scenes in which Venus appears in Olympus with the other gods, and I can't see them letting a siren just hang out with them for no apparent reason, while the real Venus is who knows where. I'm uncomfortable declaring most of the rest of her appearances one way or the other. I'm sure the goddess appeared long before 2009, but I can't prove it yet. BOZ (talk) 13:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, it makes sense but I hesitate to do it without an official source. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:09, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

text: This still needs further looking into. The website states that the siren debuted in Venus #1 (1948) and that the goddess debuted in Venus #1 (1941). It should be noted that Venus #1 was in fact released in 1948, not 1941. This also doesn't address the retroactive continuity of the character.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:59, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

text: The comicbook database also says Venus was retconned and replaced by Aphrodite in 2009.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:13, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

text: As I pointed out above, the Marvel.com profiles (which are wikis themselves) are both contradictory and inaccurate. Marvel: The Lost Generation was written in 2000, so it cannot possibly address the 2009 retcon. I agree retcons are messy and as such I think we need to rely on reliable WP:SECONDARY sources, which is Wikipedia policy anyway. I have asked for more opinions at WT:COMICS. I'd like to see what others think.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:51, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
