One of the external links points to the original Deathlok pitch written by Dwayne McDuffie. And yet he is not listed anywhere as a co-creator. How come? Am I missing something here? AEriksson 12:35, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

My bad... just noticed that it was a pitch for a relaunch of Deathlok and not the first appearance. AEriksson 12:36, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Admitting I haven't read AT in years, wasn't his name Luther? --squadfifteen, 18/10/05

In a battle with Silvermane, Deathlok's computer revealed to Michael Collins that his cyborg body was capable of lifting 85 tons. This is significantly stronger than the Luthor Manning cyborg. Scrapper 00:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Scrapper

[edit] Robocop

Is there a reason Robocop hasn't been discussed here? Deathlok was clearly an influence on the film. Would anyone care to tackle this, or should I? WikiTracker 23:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like WP:NOR. --Tenebrae 17:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Collins

I think Collins had a distinctive enough career he should get his own page.

Up to you.  :) I just expanded the info on both Manning and Collins, so they might be viable as separate pages, if you want to give that a try. 204.153.84.10 (talk) 19:47, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deathlok androids

The section on Deathlok androids from Avengers: The Initiative #5 should probably be deleted, shouldn't it? Given that they were Death's HEAD androids and all... TheCorpulent1 03:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Collins

The first sentence is really unclear "Professor Michael Collins was the second Deathlok to be created in the modern era and also the second to be created for the traditional Marvel Universe". Are the qualifiers meant to seperate him from Luther Manning, created in the seventies and from the future? If so, who was the first Deathlok created in the modern era for the MU? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.145.240.59 (talk) 10:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Presumably John Kelly, although for some reason he was listed after Collins. I've moved him to make things clearer. Daibhid C 15:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
