As soon as its possible I'll change my version Great Ten (comics) over to a redirect. I wanted to leave this version open just in case a mainstream "Great Ten" existed, but now it just makes sense to use it. I moved most of my content to your page. Basique 04:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
To the person who edited out the stereotypes criticism: it's not speculation. [1] is an article about it. -- ColourBurst 16:01, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Honestly, this article borders on fancruft without any sort of references to outside views. -- sigmafactor 22:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)although DC Comics has failed to incorporate him into "The Great Ten", its new (fictional, ironic) Chinese government superhero team, which includes groaning stereotypes:
Since you feel that my maintenance of the page itself does not appear to be from an NPOV standpoint I have asked members of Wikiproject Comics to form a panel for the sole purpose of reviewing the page. -- Basique 18:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm here in response to that request.

PS - I would love to see an article about Racial stereotypes in comic books; I just don't think that this article is the place for it. CovenantD 19:47, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
The Egg Fu stuff seems like it came out of nowhere. Where does this character appear? I don't recognize him. -- Chris Griswold 16:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
He's a 1966 character who appeared in WW #166. [2] CovenantD 16:50, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Who is Egg Fu?-- 70.188.99.31 01:24, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
In 52, Week 7, there was mention of the Super Young Team that almost let Brimstone(?) destroy Tokyo among the HQ of the Great Ten. Any idea who The Super Young Team or Brimstone are/is? Jeffrywith1e 01:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
The article says the names are "structurally accurate, anglicized Chinese language translations". Says who? What is the original Chinese for these characters? I am taking that comment out unless it is backed up with citations and explained. There's only one Chinese name listed in the article, and no possible translation of "Gu Lao" (if that is a codename rather than a personal name) results in "Socialist Red Guardian." — Lowellian ( reply) 19:40, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
This might come in pretty useful, there are more than enough entries in the encyclopedia especially when you include the manhua comics, tv shows and movies. -- Xero ( talk) 12:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
In Nightwing, apparently the kids age 10 years per day - what's the source on the kids only living to 25 but aging normally? Darquis ( talk) 07:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
If you'll kindly go to Carl Draper's entry, you'll notice the Gideon II website. Here is an in-character blog of dozens of different groups and such, including security profiles of the Great Ten.
The entries are small but enlightening, shedding some light on Mother of Champion's birthing rate (Which is incorrect in the article at moment), Celestial Archer's possible connection to Chinese Myth, and explanations of powers. It's a great read, and I intend to update the article sometime soon with it. Does anyone object to its usage? JusticeAndRule ( talk) 16:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
"Sponsored by the government of the PRC". Could mean (a) that the comic books or their creators receive funding or assistance from the PRC government, or (b) that the comic heroes fictionally receive such assistance. In other words, it could be an in-universe statement or an out-of. When I first read it I was convinced that the PRC had paid DC to create these heroes. Now though I think it means that, within the fictional universe, the heroes work for the government. 86.143.133.125 ( talk) 07:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
