Note that Red Sonya of Rogatino has appeared in Savage Sword of Conan #229 and around #223, where Red Sonja saw her in the mirrors of Tuzun Thune.

It says she would never bed another man unless he defeated her in combat. I can't imagine she'd have a chance against him in fair combat, he'd be so much stronger. So did that happen, and did Conan land her?
To my knowledge,no,Conan never had her. One of the comics mentioned something about "niether wanting to win nor lose". Spartan198 ( talk) 14:10, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198
Conan defeated Red Sonja in combat in the Marvel comic Conan #115, and she was willing to sleep with him, but he turned her down because he was still in love with Belit, who had died a year earlier.

I removed the variant covers for the following reasons: A) They're all covers of #1, but add nothing. Therefore, the primary version is more easily justifiable. B) They clutter the page, making for uncomfortable formatting and aesthetics. C) It's hardly justifiable as fair use, considering they all depict the same character. -- Kusonaga 10:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Much of this entry (take a look at the 'parody' for example) seems to be lifted from here: http://www.redsonja.net/htmlfiles/history.html . Or was it the other way around..?
Apparently this character was based on the Celtic legend Ifay (sp?), can anyone confirm this? Chris 18:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

The article says that only six novels exist.But I once saw a Red Sonja book in a book store,the name can be translated as 'Red Sonja and the Pantry of Darkness'(Alas,I do not remember the author's name).Can anybody explain such a phenomenon? Dimts 07:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Image:Marvelteamup79.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Shouldn't there be an Powers and abilities topic in this article? I'd write it myself but I haven't read enough Red Sonja. For example does she have actual super-strength or is she "only" in peak human condition like Conan? -- Hophi ( talk) 00:40, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
No,Sonja has no powers or anything. Just peak human condition,like you said. Spartan198 ( talk) 14:12, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Spartan198
Depends on the writer. Jordie Bellaire’s version in the Vampirella/Red Sonja series was strong enough to punch through a stone wall and seemingly matched Vampirella in strength.

Too much of intro was rumours & theories on which characters might have been Red Sonja prototype. Moved to 'Possible prototypes' section, needs verification. Garret Beaumain ( talk) 00:34, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Now that this film's been confirmed shouldn't it have a separate article much like Friday the 13th (2009 film) does? FaithLehaneTheVampireSlayer 01:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree. I have removed the redirect and created the article. -- Roaring Siren ( talk) 09:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Should the article mentioned that Red Sonja teamed up with Spider-Man twice?
Wow, I'm surprised that with Gail Simone's internet-savvy fans, nobody had added this yet! Luckily I had JUST finished reading up on it, so I was able to add some sources. I don't know if they're the best of all possible sources in terms of what Wiki prefers (I haven't edited terribly many comics articles before), but I know that at least the basic info (early positive review, the fact that she's writing it at all, etc.) is correct. For one thing, we have at least double confirmation that she's doing it: she also promoted it during her appearance at Florida's MegaCon this year (which I was in attendance for) - and her panel, during which she mentioned it, was recorded for some kind of podcast, so if you can find that, you won't even have to take my word for it ;)
I couldn't find a better place to put it and since it's a very small amount of information as well as the most recent, I figured that absent a reorganization of the page, the end of the intro was the best place for it for now. If we get further details, I suppose it could be expanded. 68.202.85.105 ( talk) 19:56, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Why no mention that this costume is absurdly silly and very impractical for a fighter? Also not mentioned that this costume is popular because of its targeted audience. Ileanadu ( talk) 15:46, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
Sure, it's "based on" Howard's Sonja in the same way that Marvel's Conan is "based on" Howard's Conan and their Kull is "based on" Howard's Kull.
Since when were uncreative writers like Thomas permitted to claim credit for the ideas of genuinely creative writers? Has plagiarising the work of the dead become an acceptable practice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Themwallace ( talk • contribs) 22:31, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
The inspiration quotes in this article have long been wrong. Dark Agnes was not involved at all; she just had red hair and a temper. The addition was original research in 2008 in this edit: Special:Diff/220394408. Then someone tried to source it to the Conan afterword here: Special:Diff/243831354. I read it, and that afterword does not mention Dark Agnes at all. Thomas has written other notes with similar stories, none of which include Agnes or Valeria. It also makes no sense to claim inspiration from Valeria when they just used Valeria herself in the comics... Bleeding Cool did a good job of quoting Thomas's stories here and here, and a good write up was done here at Tor. Time to remove this misleading information before it propagates further with recent movie news. - 2pou ( talk) 20:18, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

There isn't one. I realise that too much "in-universe" stuff is the bane of articles about fictional characters, but it's a bit weird that the only section that's at all about Sonja as a character, rather than purely bibliographic information, is the one headed "Sexuality".
