Maker (Reed Richards) → Maker (Marvel Comics character) – Unnecessary despite the character sharing the same name as the superhero Mister Fantastic. NeoBatfreak (talk) 17:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Maker (character) per WP:NCCDAB (assuming there is no other character from any other publisher named "Maker".) Steel1943 (talk) 21:55, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image

The file File:The Maker (Reed Richards -1610).png says that it is from House of X #1 (the one that started the Krakoa era of the X-Men), but that's likely a mistake. I have just checked and no, the Maker does not appear at all in that comic. Perhaps the uploader confused him with Xavier, who used a similar look during that era? This should fixed, either by correcting the image source with the correct one, or uploading a new lead image is it can't be found. @NeoBatfreak: Cambalachero (talk) 19:04, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure the image is from Ultimate Comics Ultimates #8 from Esad Ribić. Would love if someone could check. 98.113.156.51 (talk) 03:57, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had already fixed the image some hours before your comment. Thanks anyway. Cambalachero (talk) 12:47, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Film adaptation

The article says that the Maker has been adapted into the film Fantastic Four (2015 film). But is that really so? The Maker, as a standalone character of its own, started in Ultimate Enemy or Ultimate Comics: Ultimates; in the Ultimate Fantastic Four comic it was just a generic alternate version of Reed Richards with just some minor alterations. Adapting those comics is not really including the Maker in the film, that kind of a stretch (pun intended). In fact, check the source: Simon Kinberg says that he's not making an adaptation of any specific storyline (as X-Men: Days of Future Past from the previous year), but rather elements from all Fantastic Four eras. Including, yes, the Ultimate Fantastic Four Comic. But it is not specifically an adaptation of that comic, and the film's Reed cerainly never uses the name, costume or helmet of the Maker, nor his motivations or methods. The source never mentions "The Maker" either. Cambalachero (talk) 15:04, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
