Talk:Sandman (Marvel Comics)

message: I changed the formatting on this page a bit, so it resembles the format used for other marvel comics villains more and now the contents box isnt halfway down the page. This page still needs alot of work though! i'll add the copyedit link thingy. --Robje 20:46, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Formatting 

message: OK... a while ago someone added this rumor to the page.  Not long after, someone said that Sam Raimi had denied it.  Later, someone removed the whole thing.  Then the rumor came back.  Can someone either check into this or drop the whole thing?  Preferred solution: A description of his actual appearance in the trailer WITHOUT any speculation. - HKMARKS 00:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Simple solution - it's gone. CovenantD 00:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, the silly thing only came back.  ;)  I did some checking, found the picture that started the rumour.  It's a fake, and a cheap one:  -- the tell is the white edge around Robertson's hand and Church's shoulder.  I'm almost tempted to go through the DVD and find the frame the guy's face was ripped from.  I could not find Raimi's rebuttal, so I don't know if that was true.  I'm leaving the rumour and the evidence against it in the article, just so people don't feel they have to add it. - HKMARKS 03:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Film - "Uncle Ben's true murderer" rumors 

message: Is is just me or does SandMan have mild color changing abilities, too? Why, you ask? Well, for starters, his torso and legs can be compleatly sandy-brown one minute and have the appearence of a green shirt and tan pants on the next. Should this be mentioned up here? --MrRandomGuy 07:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Powers and Abilities 

message: I think Venom messed with the Sandman's body when he bite off a piece of Sandman. At least that was the story in Finnish translation. Sandman can't get himself together if some of his sand is missing. Lalli 18:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  someone messed it up 

message: Please don't ask why I am asking this here but nobody answered me yet on the symbiote page, but I was wondering if all a symbiote could find is someone like Sandman, would the symbiote be able to bond with him, even if he can cause sand storms and stuff. Please answer!!!! Thanks!!! ManofSTEEL2772 2:52 May 20 2007
:You probably haven't gotten the reply because speculation isn't just quite the right kind of stuff for Wikipedia. If Venom ever did try and bond with Sandman, I'm sure it and the results be noted in this article or on Venom's article. I hope this made sense. Lots42 06:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  One Question 

message: The article alternately refers to Sandman as Marko and Baker. As far as I can tell, both are technically accurate, but shouldn't just one be adopted for consistency? As it stands, the article mentions Baker throughout, but doesn't even indicate that that's a name for Sandman until halfway down the page. If Baker is the accepted psuedonym for the character, can we change the rest of the article to reflect that?
:William Baker is the character's real name.  He's just more widely known as Flint Marko.  Heck, even in the Ultimate Spider-Man series, that's his real name. The Green Lantern 01:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1, which came out today, fully explained his real name, and how he came up with "Flint Marko".  I updated his biography with that info. Nightscream 04:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name issues 

message: I'm not sure if this is the spelling they use in the books, but in actual New York, it's Rikers Island.  Croctotheface 08:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's spellec "Ryker's" in the books.  Dunno why, though. The Green Lantern 01:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The prison in the comics is a fictional one based on the real-life one.  Granted, it's kinda stupid to do that if all you're gonna do is change one letter (why not just keep the real one, and say that it has superhuman containment facilities in the MU?), but that's the reason, according to the Ryker's article. Nightscream 04:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm guessing so they lower the risk of getting sued. See, with a fictional prison, you can blow it up or have the warden an murderous alien or kill off all the staff. Lots42 06:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Ryker's Island"? 

message: 1) Why does the info at the top of the discussion page think this is a movie article? Why does it think this is a stub article?
2) On the main article page, many of the categories are 'Unsorced Statements'. None of these categories appear on the edit page. This confuseth me greatly. What's up with that?
3) In the 1602 section, what's up with the image text? I didn't wipe it out, I wanted to give someone the chance to upload their pic, if in fact that is what the case is.
