Transfer[edit]

Note: The initial text of this article was copy-and-pasted from Sebastian Shaw on 12 December 2003. See the edit history of that article for details of who wrote it. —Paul A 01:49, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Rogue tossing Shaw[edit]

The article says that Rogue simply tosses Shaw into the air with her super-strength, effectively removing him from the battle field. When was this? I thought it was as follows: Shaw with his usual "the harder you hit me, the stronger I get" phrase, then Rogue was all like "Ah don' need to hit ya, sugah, ta beat you! Ah'll let Nimrod do it!" and she hurls him full speed at Nimrod. Nimrod, responding immediately, 'reverses Shaw's polarity' with a beam, letting the Earth's gravitational field REPEL Shaw instead of attracting him (until Harry Leland brought Shaw back with his own gravitational powers near the end of the fight). I'm still not sure if such a thing can be done, but that's not the point. Nimrod's power bounced him from the battle field, not Rogue's.

Powers[edit]

Other than surviving being struck by lightning (which put him into a coma), has Shaw ever shown he can actually absorb electricity? If not, I'll remove it from the comics box. -- Noclevername 08:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:SHAW.jpg[edit]

Image:SHAW.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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 04:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Red relatives[edit]

A lot of relatives are made into red links. Did they have articles at some point which were deleted? Since they're probably too minor to get one, how about just changing them to bold names, and redirecting all these names on Wikipedia to these abbreviating snippets?
