Question about the information[edit]

I see that several characters who (AFAIK) were never given real names in their original stories have been given such. Is there a textual basis for these? I also notice that the hyperlinks to the notes go nowhere, so did those contain the information?

Yeah, most of the stuff on here is not only inaccurate, but based on no official or published information whatsoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.16.130 (talk) 04:14, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Checking back through the entry history, most of the falsified information seems to come from a single prolific contributor, "StarSpangledKiwi" Alongside perfectly good information he's added a lot of information which isn't from the comics or other official sources - inaccurate names for Archie the Gruesome, the Fourth Musketeer, some members of the First Line, etc. Given the amount of false information mixed in with the genuine, and that the only other places the names crop up seems to be Wiki-mirror sites which got it from here, it seems likely he's deliberately made it up himself. 86.134.99.11 (talk) 19:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still a few things that seem suspicious... Captain Terror (who was in the Spanish civil war) is listed as a former ally of Puck (who was also in the Spanish civil war) despite this never being referenced in the comic. Could've been in the Atlas though... 70.124.16.130 (talk) 04:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Puck/Captain Terror link was mentioned in the Marvel Westerns: Outlaw Files entry for el Aguila. 86.134.99.11 (talk) 07:38, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
