Talk:The N-Forcer
I did more of an organziation than clean up here. I left JB's notes and tried to get some of the images he wanted. The info that was here wasn't the most up to date page either from the Way Back.
The appearances are right for which armor, all five of them, but didn't include the new issues, because I haven't looked to see if its a different version again. I'm not sure if putting the appearance by armor is best way, but I kept it because its any easy reference as to which armor appeared where. Even if its only a couple of people under the suit, it might work better (for now at least) to leave the appearances like that.

re: Ten year old web pages
Yea this goes back a long ways. A lot of it is from Pre-Herocopia days. There is a lot of thinking out loud, notes to myself structure here. Not a very good candidate as is for the current purpose and scope of Herocopia.com. This page needs a massive editing process, and it is time for me to shut down that link to my old Character Compendium Web Pages on AOL.COM, assuming I can even sign in there any more.

Armor Versions
I plan to do some major revision there. I'm not so sure there are more than three versions of the suit. Major ones anyway. And while I like the call out of the version on the appearance list, I think that would be better served in a special section for the armor itself. Still thinking about this. I definitely don't think the numbers work. Make it seem like separate N-Forcers. Not so sure that is the case here at all. (More thinking out loud)

It's also one of those things where it's hard to tell, until we get the N-Forcer expose that Kurt has talked about, about how many actual N-Forcers there have been. Not just the different armor versions.
And there has been five different versions that we've seen, but you're right some there haven't been that much of a change.

Made the changes like we talked about, with the appearances part being actual appearances of the character itself and I've moved the different armor appearances into the main text for now for reference list purposes. --Astrozac (talk) 00:09, 5 February 2014 (PST)
One thing that might need a closer look, if there was an update of the armor between his last appearances of volume 2 and the Beautie special and the beginning of the current volume. Looking at the profile image which is from issue two seems to look different than the 2004 image. Of course that wasn't Brent's drawing there, but still might have been a change.
EDIT/ADD: Looking at some images on web it doesn't seem to be an armor change More just Carlos'? drawing seems to feature less armor and more energy with second "mickey mouse button" obscured. --Astrozac (talk) 23:16, 31 March 2017 (PDT)
