Good point. Cyclops' son first appeared in UX 201 but didn't get a name until UX 239. It's not like we list him as "SUMMERS BABY" until UX 239.Russ Chappell wrote:Doesn't matter that he isn't called Royal Turntable in BS 31. Likewise, if he first appears without a name in BS 31 and is in the next consecutive 100 issues of BS, before finally receiving a name in BS 132.
OK, but what about when we run into things like TOXIN?
TOXIN [DEVIANT]
TOXIN II/PATRICK MULLIGAN
TOXIN [SYMBIOTE]
The Deviant Toxin appeared first, then Patrick Mulligan, then the Toxin symbiote. Would the Toxin symbiote be TOXIN III? Also, Eddie Brock has been wearing the Toxin symbiote recently, so the suit has made appearances seperate from Patrick Mulligan, meaning we really should split up the listing between TOXIN II and the symbiote.
Maybe just drop the brackets around the symbiotes?
TOXIN [DEVIANT]
TOXIN II/PATRICK MULLIGAN
TOXIN III [SYMBIOTE]
TOXIN IV/EDDIE BROCK
Or
TOXIN [DEVIANT]
TOXIN II/PATRICK MULLIGAN
TOXIN III/EDDIE BROCK
TOXIN SYMBIOTE
If we go with that:
VENOM/EDDIE BROCK
VENOM II/PATRICIA ROBERTSON
VENOM III/ANGELO FORUNATO
VENOM IV/MACDONALD GARGAN
VENOM SYMBIOTE
VENOM SYMBIOTE II [CLONE]
CARNAGE/CLETUS KASADY
CARNAGE SYMBIOTE
CARNAGE SYMBIOTE II
etc.
