age

Which would mean that Selene herself was active during the Hyborian age. She has been suggested as the oldest mutant. The earliest other mutant known is Apocalypse, born in the 30th century BC.

Actually, the Maha Yogi from Journey Into Mystery I#96 has gotten referred to as a mutant, and his birth took place before 8250 BCE, so he would predate Apocalypse. (Doctor Strange Sorcerer Supreme#27 suggests that the Caretakers of Arcturus brought about the Maha Yogi's mutation, presumably by experimenting on Nordheimr Vanir women.)

If she really "Claims to have already been old when mankind was just emerging" wouldnt she be older than 17,000 years? Like, way, way older? Mankind (Homo sapiens) is over 200,000 years old. 2001:558:6006:28:2077:F8B9:EB08:452C (talk) 05:07, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

active?

Her latest appearance suggests that she is no longer trapped beneath the Hellfire club's headquarters.--Marhawkman 14:07, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:SELENEx.png

Image:SELENEx.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hyborian origin

She is definitely was born during Hyborian Age. Her phrase about her era "after the Oceans swallowed Atlantis and before the rise of the Aryas" is the direct quotation of Howard's The Phoenix on the Sword — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.99.48.178 (talk) 10:33, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Underworld

@Argento Surfer: Right, so Underworld series co-creator Kevin Grevioux actually said in this interview in June 2009 that he based Selene off of the Marvel Comics character Selene Gallio when writing them in the first film, both in terms of characterization and their physical appearance, just adapted as a regular vampire rather than a "psychic vampire". Grevioux didn't have the rights from 20th Century Fox to say he was adapting the character when the film first came out, but he did not have a problem mentioning it in 2009 when it didn't look like there was going to be another film featuring the character at the time (until 2012 with Underworld: Awakening). Here is an article by Comic Book Resources that mentions it as well. Jalloween (talk) 16:49, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And what from all this makes you think the Underworld character should be listed in this article's film section? They aren't the same character. I don't oppose including the information somewhere in the article, but I think the best place would be a single sentence in the lead section. Argento Surfer (talk) 17:58, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Consider it done. Jalloween (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
