Shouldn't the disambig be (Timelines)? Or am I misremembering? --Detour 02:48, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

I'm not about to get in a pointless edit war over this, but "first design that every single subsequent version is based on" versus "comic" is a very different situation from Lockdown and his entirely new and different billion-dollar-movie body. -LV (talk) 13:11, 8 September 2020 (EDT)
- The main image from DiE does not even provide an unobscured view of Flamewar's body. Why should we not use a clearly-posed image? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 13:23, 8 September 2020 (EDT)
- I mean, sure, there's a design throughline from that first design to the IDW2 one, but if you show the two of them to anyone who wasn't already aware of them, I guarantee you they wouldn't realise they were meant to be the same character. If your objection is that the floor-sitting one has part of the body obscured, fine (I disagree on the basis that it's characterful and there's a full-body image in the notes but won't fight for it too hard), but my point is that her original design from when she was a nonentity footnote is leagues away from the one she has in a comic that anyone's actually read.
- (Also, frankly, the IDW2 design is just plain better. I know that's a subjective opinion, I don't much care - I don't think we have a duty to use a pure redeco as a main image over an original design.) --Riptide (talk) 14:12, 8 September 2020 (EDT)
