Pretty good-looking, if hard to spot-check in its entirety given the source mix. Ping me when ready. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 04:44, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

{{teal|Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.}}

=Copy changes=

Your copy is superbly clean. Not much to fix.

==Lead==

  • "Stand alone" should be one word

==Publication history==

  • {{!xt|Rhodes was first portrayed using Iron Man armor in Iron Man #169 (1983) when he had to fight a villain in the stead of a drunk and defeated Tony Stark.}} Add a comma after (1983)
  • {{!xt|This series also featured Deathlok and Cable, and it ran for twenty-five issues across two years.}}Something is missing as a causal link. Maybe {{xt|This series, also featuring Deathlok and Cable, ran for twenty-five issues across two years.}}
  • {{!xt|writer Christos Gage wrote issues #33–35 of Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in which War Machine replaced Iron Man as the main character}} add a comma after S.H.I.E.L.D.

==Characterization==

  • {{!xt|He believes that the role of superheroes goes beyond fighting supervillains, and that they should also take action against global problems such as world hunger and oppressive governments.}} That's a WP:CINS comma that should go.

==Supporting characters==

  • {{!xt|Danvers' return}} MOS:'S should be "Danvers's"

=Sourcing and spot checks=

Harv error: Zehr 2011 does not have a citation to point to.

Spot checking is tough with this one because some of the most-used refs (Chambliss) are not easily available. Chambliss is really frequently called, so this is a bit frustrating. I had to settle for half of the spot checks I'd normally make... I don't have any qualms with what I've found, though.

  • 29: {{tq|War Machine steps in for the fallen Iron Man}} ... {{tq|In the past, Rhodey's always been the guy who goes into battle himself-sure, he's led men into combat, but he's never been the kind of man to sit behind the lines making the big decisions.}} This checks out. {{tick}}
  • 43: Wizard review checks out.
  • 54: Lists Cheadle's appearances. {{tick}}

=Images=

A cover with NFUR is supplied and justified. Encouragement: Add alt text.

:{{u|Sammi Brie}}, I've addressed the issues you listed. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:53, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

:And Zehr checks out now that it's inserted. Everything looks good. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 05:08, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
