Overly broad to the point of absurdity. Based on the articles it has been added to, it would also include fictional characters who are not super-powered (eg the Batman family) which is even further too broad. This is not useful categorisation — it would include, extended to it's furthest limits, virtually every voice actor from The Tick, those actors who have portrayed the main characters of the various Kamen Rider series, and many, many more.

There's no set criteria here, and I can't imagine anyone being useful. Does it only include actors who are portraying pre-existing characters? What about Darkman? And further, why just superheroes? What about villains? This is simply far too broad to be of any use.--SB | T 21:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. This is way too broad. There could be a nice list style article that could be shaped along these lines, but the categorisation structure is not going to be the best place to go about presenting it. Unwieldy and unmaintainable. Hiding Talk 22:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Yep. Way way way too broad. --Woohookitty(meow) 22:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete There are already too many "Fictional" categories and too many "Actor" categories, this borders on both those spaces. --After Midnight 0001 01:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and I'm adding :Category:Comic Book Movie actors as well. Jaranda wat's sup 05:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I see that Dr. McGrew added the categories to a whole slew of pages. I am going to undo most of the additions to save someone else some work in a few days. --Woohookitty(meow) 06:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Based on timing of account creation and common capitalization errors, I strongly suspect this is a sockpuppet of User:Batman Fan, who was banned as a disruptive user for continually creating redundant categories and refusing to engage in dialogue about it.

  • Delete; it's users like this that give film fans a bad name... Her Pegship 15:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, Category lacks any means of specification and seems to be an attempt at cataloging any article subject considered "Villain". ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 19:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into :Category:Fictional villains and make the content less arbitrary than it's now. >Radiant< 20:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete without merging as a duplicate. Piccadilly 20:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete without merging. This category is overcategorization, considering there are thousands of characters, real people, etc. that could be considered a "villan". UnDeRsCoRe 21:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, unmaintainable, possible POV issues and not what I'd consider of encyclopedic value. Hiding Talk 21:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - and redirect to :category:Fictional villains. - jc37 22:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
