Well, well, I haven't had occasion to visit wikipedia very often in the past, but looking at the entry for JB, it looks like nothing more than a weblog where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can post trollish BullSh!t to their pathetic delight. I assume that it's open season for editing on this listing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Byrne

Can one simply request that they have no editing, or even no listing on Wikipedia, or do the owners of the site have absolutely no control over what happens there?

Controversy

A controversial writer/artist known for his use of the "N-Word" and hatred for blonde latino women, Christopher Reeves (who Byrne believes should not be considered a "hero" for the way he dealt with his crippling injuries substained in a horse riding accident) and anatomically correct robots, Byrne is imfamous for his hatred for anything not done by him. Many fans blame his widely beloved Superman reboot for starting this, as John Byrne took on a jihad in the wake of the reboot's success to "fix" all comic books and comic franchises that didn't need fixing, leaving a trail of damaged characters, who thanks to Byrne's pointless meddling, have been rendered so utterly defiled so as to prevent any further writers from using them.

List of victims of Byrne (called "Byrne Victims") include:

• Donna Troy (erased from existence and replaced with a clay statue doppleganger)

• Vision (castrated, vivisected, mind erased)

• Wonder Man and Wasp (turned into mean-spirited bastards who plotted to destroy Vision and Scarlet Witch's marriage)

• Scarlet Witch (children killed by the devil who's powers were used to conceive them, driven insane, marriage dissolved)

• Spider-Man (past perverted, wife murdered off),

• Sandman (Marvel Comics version, revealed to have faked his turn to the side of good, which created such hatred from fans that Marvel imeadiately retconned Byrne's retcon so that Sandman was instead brainwashed into becoming evil instead of faking his reformation instead)

• Doom Patrol (purged from existence)

• The New Teen Titans (who had huge chunks of their history erased due to the team's past history working alongside the Doom Patrol members Robotman and Mento, and it's roster featuring former Doom Patrol member Changling)

• The Demon (all non-Jack Kirby storied declared never of happening), Wonder Woman (killed off)

• The second Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter (crippled)

• Mary Jane Watson-Parker (turned into an obnoxious bitch and killed off)

• J. Jonah Jameson (turned into an uncaring bastard, complete with huge chunks of his past erased from canon)

• Dr. Octopus (disfigured, backstory connected to Spiderman's), Vulture (given a crappy costume)

• The Incredible Hulk (turned into a murderer and had his backstory changed needlessly to make the Skrulls responsible for Banner becoming the Hulk).

In the world of John Byrne, only he knows what good comic books and has his own message board (Byrne Robotics) where he holds court and has a gaggle of twelve drooling fanboys syncophanticly worshipping him and buying into Byrne's hatespeach. Those who call Byrne out on his evil often are banned and any sort of non-company line discussion is promptly deleted into the void.

Byrne is currently working as artist for Action Comics, after his controversial Doom Patrol reboot failed miserably saleswise and a new Demon series, which has proven Byrne once again a fraud by featuring graphic violence, which Byrne has criticized other writers of doing in non-Byrne penned books.

My user name is not as fake as people here think, but if my name is a problem, I'll gladly change it if someone shows me how.

Well, you could have started by reading the rules of the board before you signed up to make your generous offers to help 'clear' JB's name. But hey, the rules only apply to the non-self-absorbed.

From Wikipedia:

" He is currently working mainly for DC Comics, much to the horror of DC Comics fans who revile the way tha Byrne ruins characters left and right with senseless retcons and blatant contempt for any writer who isn't him."

This isn't very impartial. I'm a DC Comics fan and I don't feel that way.

Buy, that entry sure has changed since this time yesterday, hasn't it?
