[edit] Rename

[edit] Source?

[edit] Circe...

The article mentions the Greek Goddess Circe...

and the page currently links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circe , however the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circe_%28comics%29 exists... Are we sure the Mythology page should be linked in place of the DC Comic Iteration of Circe? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wergoheb (talk • contribs) 05:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Circe

It should definitely be a reference to the comic book character, and not the general mythological figure.

[edit] Religous Beliefs

I think the section should be shortened down.

Something that basically describes how Michael is an athiest, despite encountering mystical beings and how other heroes he met believe in an afterlife. I don't see what the controversy is. The guy has seen aliens and time travel and goodness knows what else. So he doesn't believe in God isn't some of huge deal.

And in 'Infinite Crisis' it seems a bit jarring to declare that he befriends another 'African American superhero'. He didn't ignore the heck out of his other team mates on that mission just to bond with someone with a similar skin color.

I like the religious beliefs section - and not just because I wrote it. Holt's atheism is one of the character's most unique attributes and one that his main writer, Geoff Johns, has seized upon quite often for story moments - like the debate with Ragman to his near-death experience in JSA. There are other superheroes who have been atheists, but unlike Holt, the writer never really did anything with it and Holt's atheism has generated alot of discussion and debate.

I do agree with you about the friendship with Black Lightning and that the inclusion of that statement was a bit jarring.
