Two Concerns[edit]

1) While the picture is very neat, that Eiling doesn't look a -thing- like the one from the comic books. It's my opinion we should use a picture from there.

2) The article seems to say Eiling bit off Steel's hand during their first confrontation. I don't have the issues but I remember Steel's hand staying exactly where it belonged. Lots42 11:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed on the image front. As for the hand thing, it definitely showed him biting on Steel's hand and later showed Steel fixing his glove, however it appears to have been retconned in 52 #5 as there Steel specifically states that the General bit his hand off.

Fair use rationale for Image:JLA26.jpg[edit]

Image:JLA26.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Speed[edit]

The categories indicate Eiling can move at superhuman speeds. In what issues did he move that fast? Lots42 (talk) 08:28, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
