On the issue of the various pantheon characters that have been reimagined (for a lack of better term) by contemporary creators, it certainly gets into a grey area as to who gets top billing when it comes to credit. On ADour's the same token on the who gets the credit for Thor, all current Thor publications (and Marvel Movies) credit Lee/Kirby/Lieber as the creators. I believe that the logic behind that is that all subsequent Thor stories are based on the mythos created post Journey into Mystery. As far as Marvel is concerned they get top billing for creating the Marvel version of Thor. Although really, I think the recently won lawsuit from the Kirby estate had a lot to do with that over anything else.

Again, I think the problem here is that the created by field in the infobox is too limiting to anything other than straight forward creator credits.

The more this conversation goes on, I'm wondering why we're limiting creation credits to a section in the infobox for these, more complicated creation histories. Maybe what we need to do is explore a publication history section (much like Wikipedia does) for these characters. Maybe the discussion needs to be how to better represent these more complicated creator credits than trying to fit them in a very rigid infobox system.

Maybe we should get someone with coding experience to chime in and make suggestions on if we can alter the infobox and make it more flexible (or not) and go from there.
