[edit] Character from 52

Anyone have a solid citation where the character was names as "Copperhead"? There's nothing in the primary source (52).

I place a {{fact}} an the section on Feb 2. If there's no support the it should go, along with an related material.

Just to collect the sources so far avaialble or presented:

Primary

• 52 Week Ten - the character appears, but is not referenced in any text.
• Giffen's breakdowns for the issue - Again, only pictured, but the is a note "India" over the character.
• Newsarama interview with Stephen Wacker - The character is referred to, but by description, not name.

Anything else?

I tried to rework it so that only the known facts are presented, and I'm left with the inescapable conclusion that this character should NOT be included in this article at this time. All of the evidence we have so far does not support it, and in fact points to a different name. CovenantD 00:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Terror Titans"

Regarding the character appearing in this arc — at the moment nothing has been presented that this isn't the same character. At best the following comments can be made:

• It looks like Copperhead prior to his deal with Neron.
• No in-story background has been revealed in what has been published to date.
• No secondary sources — interviews with the writer of the arc would be good — have been cited to how the character in Teen Titans relates to the previous appearances.
• The solicitation copy from later issues of the arc place Clock King as the primary villain. This, and the solicit cover, open a lot of possible explanation for Copperhead — all of which amount to speculation and don't belong here.

The best we have to date is what's currently in the article. - J Greb (talk) 00:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
