Quick update on the current additions, don't really have much to say so I'll keep it short. This is what I've finished this round:


 * Attuma: his character profile now has all his appearances up to 2014, including his apparent demise in the pages of Indestructible Hulk Vol 1.


 * Diablo: Another one that has been updated up to his current appearance. This was such a sloppy profile before I got to it with much of the written material plagiarized from the Marvel Handbooks. Most other people only bothered to add new stuff, which was also equally as sloppy and also lazy. It irritates me when incomplete profiles only have the newer appearances added.


 * Dragon Man: Here's another greatly neglected profile that I updated. This one had a pathetic lack of detail because people didn't bother doing *any* research. This covers everything up to the events of Fantastic Four Vol 5. Haven't quite gotten to the end of the "Fall of the Fantastic Four"/"New Eden" storyline up to it's conclusion so this profile is updated right up to where the original Human Torch liberated Dragon Man from SHIELD custody.


 * Gregory Gideon: An almost forgotten Fantastic Four villain from the days of yore. The only information here was during his first appearance in . Whoever wrote it up couldn't have been bothered updating any of the information beyond that other than adding what issue he died in.


 * Thomas Gideon/Glorian: Another sparsely written profile, but at least it had references. But for the most part that's all that was added, the text had remained the same for years, and references for things that people didn't know were left blank, and of course the usual issue of people only adding new stuff about a character.

Sorry if I'm a little irritable, but I find that people who add only new stuff to profiles while all the old material is outdated, lacking references, or incomplete are the most functionally useless people that we can have contribute. Want to do your part? A lot of the profiles out there are incomplete, inaccurate, and are missing specific references. Instead of doing what anyone else can do -- like buying whatever came out this week and adding that -- try going back and adding older material that is missing from profiles.

Anyway, rant off.... Next up I will be doing the original members of the Frightful Four: the Wizard, Trapster, Sandman and Medusa. I'm thinking both Sandman and Medusa will be expanded history pages because they have both appeared in over 300+ and 400+ comics respectively. With my expanded history pages I only cover the first ten years of the characters appearances, but in this case since neither character had a whole lot of appearances until much later when they became more popular in the 2000s, I'll be thinking about where that cutoff point will be this time since doing all their 60s appearances are not going to leave a whole lot to work with. I might just do all their appearances just to get them over with since they're still a measurable number (versus someone like Mr. Fantastic who has appeared in literally thousands of comics thus making a 10 year cut off to change things up makes sort of sense)
