Talk:Shocker (character)

message: Since the Shocker's picture show him blasting someone, should it not be mentioned who this someone is?
And I humbly request someone more familar with Ultimate Spiderman to work on the Ultimate section. Didn't the Shocker affect Ultimate Punisher? I -dimly- recall the Shocker's first case being news to a rapist, who wanted to use it to get out of jail and go after an almost-victim. The Punisher then kills the rapist. If this really happened, I think it includes mention.

message: I read somewhere that the "shocker" hand-gesture was referenced in the comics at some point. If anybody has it, could you please post the relevant panel?
Also, shouldn't there be something about how the Shocker was originally going to be called "the Vibrator" (because he has powers of vibration, not electricity, which is Electro's thing), until some editor realized...well, you know. Which is why he has a "V" on his belt to this day. No idea where I heard this from, unfortunately.
: While I wouldn't put it past Stan Lee to not realize the double entendre he'd accidentally put in, it can't go into the article unless you can find a source.  Notthegoatseguy 21:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I knew it! I watched an episode of Spiderman: The Animated Series with Shocker in it, and I recognized his voice. He's the same guy who voiced General Parvo on Road Rovers.Ben 10 15:30, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

message: First of all, I don’t think it’s worth noting in the infobox that he has genius-level intelligence.  If that is even true, he seems to be a pretty sub-par genius, not even anywhere near the likes of Doctor Octopus for example.  This is such a common trait for comic book characters that I can’t see why we would want to list it that way for every character that just happens to be highly intelligent; show me a skill, not a trait.  Also, we have no source for this information.   If it was from some chart or graph then those are basically useless, and something like Marvel.com (aka the Marvel Wiki) then that is not a valid source either.  Show me something from the comics, where it is explicitly stated that he is a genius.  In fact, if it says something like "scientific genius" or "genius inventor" describing him in a comic, then I would rather see that in an infobox because it really tells me something about him. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 15:14, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In his first appearance it says he is "good with tools" and has nothing about being a genius inventor. I agree that any comment about him being a "genius" or having a "genius-level intelligence" should not be included, because there is nothing to support those statements.

text: Allow it based on your say so? No. That's original research, something Wikipedia does not do. - J Greb (talk) 23:19, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You are allowed to contribute to Wikipedia if you follow the guidelines, so please calm down and try to contribute calmly and rationally. Saying he's an engineer implies a degree that he has never been confirmed to have. He is an inventor, but saying "highly skilled" is speculation and not allowed.

message: This edit war between 2601:d:9400:3cd and Crashsnake needs to stop. Both of you need to post your rationale for your edits here and have a civil debate between yourselves, with other editors chiming in their opinion. Spidey104 13:56, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I am sorry for edit-warring, Spidey104. I did try to communicate with Crashsnake at User talk:Crashsnake#Edit warring, but he gave me no response at all, and in fact continued to edit war. I should have been the bigger man and stopped, so I am sorry. The issue was that he kept editing the TV characters section to say that "Shocker appeared in this series", when that was simply not true. The truth is that the character Montana appeared in the series first as Montana, then used the Shocker identity for a few episodes, then went back to being called Montana. That is what should be reflected here, that it was an identity briefly used by another character. I appeared to have come up with a wording here on January 15 that he can live with, as he finally stopped reverting me. I will not revert him any more, but I will please ask you to help me keep an eye on this article. 2601:D:9400:3CD:ECE2:DE9D:9FF9:DC99 (talk) 03:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically there is no rule on that we have to add plots on these anyways. I allow it half of the time. Especially if cite episode is used and is written as  a fiction story. But Crashsnake might be getting out of hand on the fact that he wants to keep adding more plot. When being brief like this summary on here is fine enough. Jhenderson 777 03:24, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: 2601:d:9400:3cd, thank you for posting a response here. Crashsnake has a history of ignoring attempts to communicate with him. I support the current version, because it accurately and concisely presents the information as it relates to this character. He does seem to be leaving it alone for right now, so hopefully this war was settled before I made the original post. However, if he does make a change again without posting a comment here he could be blocked and we will definitely have to escalate this discussion to the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring.
