RPG stats

I removed the following from the article because I really don't think RPG stats belong in Wikipedia. Since large numbers of these "vital stats" sections have been added to various articles, I'm using Talk:Strength level (comics) to discuss this issue in general. Bryan 08:01, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Question

When did Ultimate Rhino first appear? Answer below As Soon As Possible so I can put it on. Speeking of which, stop deleting my corrections and additions, if I'm missing something, add it. Otherwise wikipedia won't be as good if you put it back with not as much info. If I'm missing something, just add it, don't delete the whole thing.

Healing Factor?

Can someone provide information detailing the Rhino possessing an accelerated healing factor? I've never read anything stating that he's able to heal from injury faster than an ordinary human. I might very well be wrong, but he's not one of the characters that's always been associate with unusually fast healing. Odin's Beard 02:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

His eyes are exposed, why is it that no one blinded him? T-1000 03:42, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Rhino generally mixes it up with mostly straight as an arrow hero types like, Spider-Man or the Thing, and usually avoids the anti-hero crowd. Nearly all of the heroes Rhino has tangled with have had the stomach to use, or really attempt to use, lethal or crippling force. The Hulk, I could see him gouging out someone's eyes given the right situation and the right personality that's in command. Odin's Beard 00:14, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Still, with all the stuff he did, his face should have been at least covered in scars, but that's not what happens. T-1000 00:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Some maintain that he has superhuman durability even without his costume on, some claim that he's superhumanly durable only while he has it on. To me, it'd make more sense if he does have some degree of invulnerability without the costume. For instance, his costume doesn't provide him with his strength. He can lift in the 80 to 90 ton area so his body has to be durable enough to withstand the amount of pressure lifting such weights would generate. Odin's Beard 00:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

So his face never got injured? T-1000 17:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Not that I'm aware of. I'll admit that I'm not extremely familiar with his history, but he's taken some pretty stiff shots to the face from some big powerhouses and seemed to come out of it ok. Odin's Beard 02:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Accent

If he's a Russian immigrant, shouldn't he have an accent? None of the non-comics adaptations seem to have given him one (the comparison to Colossus would be made pretty quickly, eh?) and I haven't read any comics with him in them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk • contribs)

Well, the shows and games basically focused on giving him a voice that is usually given to, well, less educated people. UnDeRsCoRe 20:44, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Strength

Please do not add the 80 ton comment to the article. It is stright from the handbookd and a copyright violation if we use it here. T-1000 22:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Flowers for Rhino

If I'm not mistaken, the "Flowers for Rhino" story took place in the "Tangled Web" series, which has a questionable place in continuity. Should it be removed from the entry? Michael Podgorski 02:48, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Why is 'Tangled Web' questionable? Lots42 10:07, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

ultimate question

When did he make a appearance at a naval yard in the ultimate continuity? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Batman420 (talk • contribs) 00:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

Alex O'Hirn.

I have seen Rhino called O'Hirn in the comics, but nowhere in this article. (I've never played that game, but remember the 'Ohirn anagram of rhino clearly.) I'll try to figure out where I saw it... I suspect it was in somethign in the last 5 years or so, and I think it was two peopel discussing him while he wan't around... maybe initiative or thunderbolts? anyways, Any info on this? ThuranX 03:39, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

In the Mysterio's Menace video game the Rhino's real name is given as "Alex O'Hirin", as in the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon and in the Ultimate Spider-Man video game. So is "Alex O'Hirin" his name or is "Aleksei Sytsevich", 'cause I've never heard of the latter before. And if Aleksei Sytsevich is his name, where does "Alex O'Hirin" come in? 142.26.194.190 (talk) 16:49, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Ultimate Rhino in a computer game

He returns stealing a military thing as a funny match to Kitty Pryde's game in the Danger Room of the dragon.

What is a military thing? What does that whole sentence mean?

Got me. Since the game was discussed in another section, I just deleted it. Lots42 10:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Russian origin

I got the idea the Russian origin was a later addition to the character, and that he was introduced as more or less a typical thug. Was I wrong about that? The notes on his first appearance should note how he was actually introduced rather than what he was later revealed to be. 71.194.32.252 (talk) 05:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

To reiterate: when he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #41, was he introduced as "a guinea pig and a thug for hire working for a foreign country" or as "a poor immigrant from Russia, desperate to pay for the rest of his family to come to the United States"? I always got the impression that it was the former, while the latter was a retcon. If so, the retcon origin should not be presented as if it was featured in The Amazing Spider-Man #41. 71.194.32.252 (talk) 16:10, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

No brainer

I'm having a hard time seeing why the tail segments of the article are even an issue. Did anyone actually look? Poorly written - with spelling and grammar mistakes - with POV and an in-in-universe perspective, and all of that is within somewhat juvenile blow by blows accounts of TV series and Video Games. None of it really passes muster, and many, many other articles have been revised into the tight out of universe format. What would have been nice might have been a thank you for hauling the article up to an acceptable standard, but so be it... Asgardian (talk) 10:46, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Let me try to say this as tactfully as possible: You've been sanctioned in the past to explain any sizeable removal of text. For another editor to make a good faith request to you to please clarify how your explanation applies directly to the sections removed doesn't seem to be an extraordinary request under such circumstances.

As an aside, I have no opinion on the text myself, I merely was pointing out that "irrelevant" can be in the eye of the beholder. - jc37 03:11, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, but remember...

Yes, I saw this [1] and agree the article needs reworking, but let's go up rather than down a rung. This was done at a time when some were insisting on this style and their wish was granted. Now, what is needed is for someone who has read most of the stories (not me!) to craft a "Character and publication history" that is out of universe, sourced and succinct. All the surrounding work is done, so let's not keep poorly written material on TV, Video Game and so on. A blanket reversion to bad material doesn't help us. Take a crack at picking out what is the best of the old questionable storytelling and rewrite it Wikistyle. Regards. Asgardian (talk) 04:28, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

So you admit to making it "deliberately messy to prove a point"? --DrBat (talk) 04:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Please focus on the issue. Retained the Wiki-corrected lead and other peripheral sections. Help rewrite the CPH. Have you read the books? Asgardian (talk) 04:43, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
