[edit] Which image should be used

Image:MAXLORD2.jpg or Image:Maxwellord.PNG

My opinion is that although the one on the left is slightly fuzzier, the lack of bubbles obfuscating the image makes it a superior representation of the character. I also predicted that within a week or two of putting it up someone would take it down simply because they could. Which is exactly what happened. However, I was hoping they would at least replace it with a superior image, which the person did not.ScifiterX 09:26, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

So, I'd like you guys to decide which pic looks better. Or if maybe someone could find an even better Max Lord image? ScifiterX 10:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

When you were modifyng the first image (which I assume you did), couldn't you have just saved it as a png as opposed to a jpg? Then you can have the 'no bubbles' but without the fuzziness. --DrBat 02:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually the program used was an old 16 bit one. I was honestly hoping someone would find a better pic of the character. ScifiterX 04:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, I can do png's now.ScifiterX 04:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

I think the two full-page scans should be deleted/modified. They clog up the page and show nothing really signifcant in Lord's character. Usually only one or two panels should be used, and only the whole page if its one big picture (imo).--DrBat 01:14, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Murder"

I just have to say, can we remove the word murder from the description of his death at the hands of Wonder Woman? She only killed him to save her friends, which hardly counts as murder. It's more like justifiable homicide. Everyone always seems to focus on the fact that she killed him, when they talk about it they conveniently forgot to mention WHY she killed him.

Not to mention the fact that if she hadn't killed Lord Superman would have eventually killed Wonder Woman (under Lord's control). It was not just an act to save her friends. Superman would have killed her too. It was self defense as well. All the writers seem to overlook that.Majestic Lizard 03:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
