Talk:Mimic (comics)

This article seems to be incomplete and possibly innacurate about the history (and specifically origin) of Mimic and his powers. Other online sources [1] note that he was not a mutant. This is also mentioned on [2] (note the "Afterwards" heading). The current incarnation of the character apparently is a "true" mutant, so perhaps a distinction should be made within the article; maybe retconning is at work here?

Not to mention the first Mimic article also seems to be akawardly written. At first it was in present tense, and I found it was much more effective to be change into past tense. Gramatically it still needs improvements. Mr.Wednesday — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.136.86.253 (talk • contribs) 13:43 June 21, 2006 (UTC)

It's supposed to be in present tense. See:

• Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Check your fiction
• Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)#Tense
• Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics/Archive 11#Literary present tense

Thank you for working to improve the article. --Chris Griswold 18:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge?

Should Mimic (Exiles) be merged with this article? Dr Archeville 19:19, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge Dr Archeville 15:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge - variations on the same character. Will provide a better understanding of the character and its iterations.--Chris Griswold 00:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge - I'll vote merge since most alternate reality versions of Marvel characters appear on the same page - 69.183.124.119 01:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per all of the above. Kusonaga 16:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep alternate versions shoould remain on the same page unless we're dealing with important characters, like Exile members.--Gonzalo84 19:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

My feeling is that the Exiles character will be the dominant character in the entry because he has been developed and featured more and appears in more issues than the original character. --Chris Griswold 08:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Can't we have a more modern picture for earth-616 (prime) Mimic?

It just seems odd, especially given he has a recent appearance to his name, that the picture should be of the first cover he appeared on. It is very old now and not as clear as a modern pic would be. Thanks— ChocolateRoses ^talk

There are few cover pictures that are focused on Mimic besides his first appearance. If you can supply a different picture though, be my guest. Kusonaga 16:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

his powers

should there be a section on the page about how his powers are similar to rogue's?
