First appearance

I know her first appearance isn't in Young Avengers--Brown Shoes22 02:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Page title

If this page is also going to have information on Stinger, shouldn't the wiki be titled "Cassandra Lang," and not Stature? It is, after all, about the two versions of Lang, and not primarily about Stature. Pitr 07:41, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A common synonym for (human) height is stature, indeed this is the term used in medicine and science, thus there should be a disambiguation link or page redirecting to the article on human height. It doesn't matter to me whether it's a mere link or full page, but it needs to be done. Rather than arbitrarily making the change I'm introducing it for discussion here.

Thanks.

Present tense

It sounds very odd the way the entire article is written in present tense.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.17.174.18 (talkcontribs)

This is the standard way to write about fiction. Anything in fiction never really "happened"; it happens as you read it. If I were to pick up an old issue of Avengers right now, Scott Lang would be alive... but in a new one he'd be dead. So it's not that he "was" alive and then "died" -- he "is" both alive and dead right now. It's a little weird to read if you're not used to it (even harder to write!) but it makes sense. -HKMarks IS FROM SPACETALKCONTRIBS 18:57, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
