Misc[edit]

Having recently finished this book, (and as it happens just having finished a long discussion recommending it to an associate, which in turn caused me to look it up on Wikipedia) I must object to the suggestion that it be removed as non notable.

Soon I Will Be Invincible takes a look at the classic superhero/villain paradigm from the perspective of why a given individual would become a hero or villain, and what sorts of things they would reflect on in making these decisions. The classic comic book hero and his opponents have a siginificant place both in presence here on Wikipedia and in American Culture (and to a lesser extent worldwide) at large. The author provides us with a window on how these iconic personas would have to deal with life just being these mighty forces in the world and what day to day life would be/look like behind the mask.

If I had the time or sufficient skill as a writer I would prepare a detailed entry regarding this novel, and would certainly be appreciative if another contributor would do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.143.175.198 (talk • contribs) 19:09, 24 July 2007

— I've revised the article to sound less like an advertisement, added brief descriptions on the supporting characters, and added a Plot Summary title, for which i plan to write a summary soon, unless someone beats me to it Kimota 08:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Existing hero analogues[edit]

Many of the characters, both heroes and villains, have powers or characteristics recognizably similar to existing Marvel / DC heroes and villains. For example, CoreFire has powers and weaknesses similar to Superman, but an origin closer to Spider-Man's, while Dr Impossible is like a combination of Dr. Doom and Lex Luthor. Feral might as well be Wolverine, while NightWolf follows the Batman archetype, but without a secret identity. --BlueNight (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given that CoreFire is a an obvous allusion to the Superman archetype of superheroes, should we mention that some other heroes consider him to be a shallow and arrogant man in private? Eyclonus (talk) 16:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Ref 17, 18, 28 miss page numbers/link.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.	Mr. Mystic: ^{[original research?]} added.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	There are some negatives mentioned in the reception, but the lead focusses only on the positives. "The book has been variously described as as clever, engaging, and fun."
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	If a reference exists, add what the cover art depicts. Whose helmet? CoreFire/Impossible?
	7. Overall assessment.

Thanks for taking the time to read the article. In response to your points:
2a. I added the page number for ref 17 ref 18 and a url for ref 28 (but it is behind a paywall),

2c. I could only find the comparison made in user reviews but not in a published source. Therefore, I have removed the comparison. [1]

4a. Edited intro [2]

6b. The novel doesn't clearly state who the cover depicts but it is probably Impossible's. The 3rd party references do not venture a guess. They only discuss the fact that it is a photo, opposed to a cartoon. maclean (talk) 20:19, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA PASS Congrats. Issues addressed. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:51, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
