This page is intended as a guide on how to lay out comics-related articles. These do not have to be followed strictly, but are suggestions for stylistic consistency:
Introduction
- No actual heading required. This section lists the character's current or primary codename, their real name, any other significant codenames, the publishing company or companies and the creators of the character.
- Beyond that, as per guidance at
Wikipedia:Lead section, the introduction should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, be written in a clear and accessible style, and should first offer (what editors can agree are...) the topic's most interesting points, including a mention of the topic's most prominent controversies. All of the various points should be expanded upon later in the article, and the appropriate references provided at that point, rather than in the lead section. The length should be one to three paragraphs, depending on the length of the entire article, and should never be limited to one or two short sentences.
- The opening sentence should be formatted in one of the following two ways:
- "{Name of character} is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in the comic books published by [[publisher]]. Created by {creator(s)}, he/she/they first appeared in {Name of series} #{issue number} ({year})."
- "{Name of character} is a comic book superhero who appears in the comic books published by [[publisher]]. Created by {creator(s)}, he/she/they first appeared in {Name of series} #{issue number} ({year})."
- This can be developed to mention appearances in other media, and other notable aspects of the character's impact on the wider world. The character's
alter ego can be introduced in brackets after the {Name of character}, or can be introduced within the lead. However, remember these characters are inherently not real, and should not be written about as if they are. Examples:
- Daredevil (Matt Murdock) is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, he first appeared in Daredevil, volume 1, #1 (April 1964).
- Captain Marvel is a comic book superhero, originally published by Fawcett Comics and later owned by DC Comics. Created in 1939 by C. C. Beck and Bill Parker, the fictional character first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 (Feb. 1940).
- Superman is a fictional character, a comic book superhero widely considered to be an American cultural icon. [1] [2] [3] [4] Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. in 1938, the character first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games.
- Batman, originally referred to as the Bat-Man and still referred to at times as the Batman, is a fictional character, a comic book superhero co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger (although only Kane receives official credit) and published by DC Comics. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939).
- The opening sentence should be formatted in one of the following two ways:
- This can be amended to make mention of a character's ties to a team, character or the characters cultral impact. For example (with the pertinent points italicized below, though not in normal punctuation):
- Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde) is a fictional character appearing in the comic books published by Marvel Comics, notably as a member of the superhero team the X-Men. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist/co-writer John Byrne, she first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #129 (Jan. 1980).
- The Riddler (Edward Nashton, alias Edward Nigma or sometimes Nygma) is a fictional character, a comic book supervillain published by DC Comics and appearing as an enemy of Batman. Created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang, the character first appeared in Detective Comics #140 (1948).
- Northstar (Jean-Paul Beaubier) is a Marvel Comics fictional character, best known as one of the first openly gay superheroes in American comic books. Created by writer Chris Claremont and artist/co-writer John Byrne, Northstar first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #120 ( April 1979) as a member of the superhero team Alpha Flight and has since appeared as a member of the X-Men.
- This can be amended to make mention of a character's ties to a team, character or the characters cultral impact. For example (with the pertinent points italicized below, though not in normal punctuation):

- ^ Holt, Douglas B. (2004). How Brands Become Icons: The Principles of Cultural Branding. Boston: Harvard Business School Press. p. 1. ISBN 1578517745.

Publication history
- The real world history of the character. This section details who wrote the character, what series they've had or made long runs of appearances in, their longevity within comics and any inspirations for the character. This section should focus mainly on the comic, but include passing mentions of all other-media versions, and acknowledge where these versions have impacted on the comic version. The publication details of any reboots and the input of any creators into the character would also be detailed here.
Fictional character biography
- The biography of the character. Filling in the first (or primary, if the "main" version isn't the original) continuity version of the character's history. Note that such a biography should assert the character's fictionality in their biography and should not be written in a manner that asserts that the events happened themselves. Biographies that retell storylines in detail are strongly discouraged. For more guidance in this matter see Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Check your fiction, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) and Wikipedia:Notability (fiction).
Powers and abilities
- This section details the character's powers and/or abilities. Discuss the commonalities only of the "major" versions (except where one, as with Superfriends Wonder Woman is completely different), leaning towards the primary and current versions but not excluding the others. This section should not be excessive, or copyvio the statistics presented in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, DC's Who's Who or similar products. These stats are rarely held to in the comics anyway. Note that such descriptions should assert the fictionality of that which is described and should not be written in a manner that asserts that the subjects covered actually exist. For more guidance in this matter see Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Check your fiction, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) and Wikipedia:Notability (fiction).
Other versions
- This section gives biographies for other versions of the character, for example an Ultimate Marvel version section. It should note divergences. If the article is unmanageably large, then this should be short and a new article created with a Main article: ARTICLE NAME link provided. New articles should only be created in this way if the main article has been has already been copy edited in line with editorial guidance. Note that such biographies should assert the character's fictionality in their biography and should not be written in a manner that asserts that the events happened themselves. For more guidance in this matter see Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Check your fiction, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) and Wikipedia:Notability (fiction).

See also
- This section is only included where necessary, and is designed to list other articles which would be of interest to the reader, which may not have been mentioned in the text.
References

However, specific issue numbers should still be cited, and any other sources, for example Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, DC's Who's Who, magazine articles in Alter Ego, Comic Book Artist or The Comics Journal, or books such as Les Daniels' DC Comics: Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes, Gerard Jones' Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book or Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, should be listed.

- When a character is not exactly a superhero or supervillain, such as Catwoman or Venom, then a neutral terms such as character should be used.
- When the exact circumstance under which a character was created or developed is complex, such as with Wolverine, whose creators did not develop him into the character we know today, or X-Force, which developed from prior concepts and using mostly extant characters, then the exact manner of creation should wait until an appropriate section. No one person and persons should be misleadingly listed as the creator.
