Split?
Edit
Do we need separate pages for Jack Ryder and the Creeper entity? They've been proven to be separate characters, ala Etrigan, most recently in Reign in Hell. Thoughts?

- Don't know a whole heckuva lot about the Creeper, but if they're separate entities now, then yeah, we should probably split the pages. Kinda like what we did for Aztar (New Earth) and James Corrigan I (New Earth). Man, these gestalt characters are a pain, aren't they? --Brian Kurtz 15:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm just glad I've never gotten wrapped up in the Dr. Fate stuff. I'll upload a picture of the Creeper separate from Jack Ryder, and vice versa as soon as I find my copy of Reign in Hell #3.

- I miss the permanently-on-drugs origin told right after COIE. The Paradox 23:47, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Haha, I missed this. What?

- One of the elements of his post-COIE origin is that he was implanted with a device that transforms him between two forms; one, the abrasive reporter Jack Ryder and the other, Jack Ryder in a Holloween costume and jacked up on an experimental drug (if I recall correctly). The drug is what gave him his strength, healing, etc., but it was, well, a pretty powerful hallucinogen as well. Because it was coded into the matrix of the device, it instantly became part of his system the moment it was activated and he became the Creeper. I just loved the fact that we had a superhero who, through no fault of his own, was permanently tripping balls. The Paradox 00:34, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
That's one of the best things I've ever heard. I love it.
Steve Niles did some pretty cool stuff in his recent miniseries, though. I like that he's like a skitzo version of Vic Sage.

Categories
Edit
There are a bunch of weird categories on this page including, Gods | Aliens | Clones | Deities | Undead | Cyborgs | Mutants | Mutates | Zombies | Magicians | Werewolves | Metahumans | Cosmic Beings | Doppelgangers | Gestalt Characters | Gamma Ray Exposure | Time Travelers | Cosmic Ray Exposure | Psionic Entities | Vampires | Human/Alien Hybrid | Super-Soldiers. Only like one or two of these apply to him and he's the only member of several of the others. The problem is, I don't see where they are on the page to remove them and I don't see where they were added in the history.
