Talk:Grasshopper (character)

message: 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?

thread_title: wild theory, could someone confirm?

message: 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.  (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)

message: 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)
