Instead of Male, Female, and Minor, perhaps it should simply be Major and Minor? - [[User:Frankie|Frankie]] ([[User talk:Frankie|talk]]) 15:37, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Also, suggestions for a consistent sort order:

Frequency: list1 = [[Cueball]] {{!}} [[Megan]] {{!}} [[Black Hat]] {{!}} [[Danish]] {{!}} [[Beret Guy]] {{!}} [[Ponytail]] {{!}} [[White Hat]]

Alphabet: list1 = [[Beret Guy]] {{!}} [[Black Hat]] {{!}} [[Cueball]] {{!}} [[Danish]] {{!}} [[Megan]] {{!}} [[Ponytail]] {{!}} [[White Hat]]

Chimeric: list1 = [[Cueball]] {{!}} [[Beret Guy]] {{!}} [[Black Hat]] {{!}} [[Danish]] {{!}} [[Megan]] {{!}} [[Ponytail]] {{!}} [[White Hat]]

== Reorder ==

Probably should reorder the categories by appearances for the ease of use. I already did it for the major characters. {{User:17jiangz1/signature|15:57, 26 August 2015}}

	:Number of appearances doesn't necessarily imply 'impact'...

Even Etymology seems to have the (somehow-)Required Secondary Superpower of flight without resorting to tech-gimmicks (or occasionally being turned into something like Man-Bat, through exposure to thematic gene-splicing). Just a technicality, but worth considering before defaulting to Superhero(es) as the name.
