Delete - Appears to be nothing but fancruft, and not a feasible search term for any other particular article. By the way, TTN, do you use a template for all of these deletion requests? I tend to agree with most of them, but they all seem to be worded exactly the same.

I just copy and paste it while occasionally making minor variations depending on the article. I pretty much nominate articles that all have the same issues, so taking the time to type out what would be essentially the same rational each time seems pointless.

That's what I figured, but that's why I was also wondering if you had a template for that; one where you just have to put up the template and fill in one field with the universe of the fictional item. I suppose copy and paste does about the same job, though.

Keep. I'm usually a pretty reliable "merge" vote in these discussions, but the Ultimate Nullifier is actually pretty notable. Someone built
a replica here, it's discussed at length
in this excerpt and (to a lesser extent)
in this column, and it made "top ten" lists at
IGN and
Geeks of Doom. I feel fairly confident that I could dig up further references on its use as a deus ex machina, element of Silver Age storytelling, and more "top ten" lists.

Keep Plenty of sources out there including:
Geektionary: From Anime to Zettabyte
Marvel Comics: The Untold Story
Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith
Marvel Universe
Researching Beneath the Surface: Psycho-Social Research
Superheroes and Philosophy: Truth, Justice, and the Socratic Way
The Encyclopedia of Super Villains
The Gospel According to Superheroes: Religion and Pop Culture
The Science of Supervillains
The Supervillain Book: the evil side of comics and Hollywood
Keep - Let this page stay. This is an important item in the Marvel Comics and it had various appearances throughout it's history.
