Tech Support

I removed the section on Tech Support - a 'team roster' on Tech Support is definitely not needed. I'm not entirely sure it deserves a mention at all yet as it's not necessarily part of the 'mythos' yet, officially (even if Matt approves of the group). When/If Tech Support becomes a more prominent part of the Feedback back story, I'd say it should be added in then. Blade 00:29, 5 September 2006 (UTC) (aka Jay Random of Tech Support)[reply]

movie?

Wasn't the winner suppossed to get a scifi pictures original straight to TV movie made for em? I havn't heard any news about that since the end of the show. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by VRaptorX (talk • contribs) 00:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

The movie should come on the Sci-Fi Channel August 25th and will be called Megasnake. It is mentioned on Feedback's myspace page in one of his blogs --Dragonskull1057 19:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was supposed to be a full movie just about the character. This sucks ass. 12.210.209.18 06:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Favourite video game

I know Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is linked to this article, but he did mention that his all-time favourite is Pong... Should that deserve a mention or is that simply Atherton's favourite? (a bit odd trying to differentiate now that you think about it..) DrWho42 01:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If a "trivia" section were made, that would qualify. However, I don't see it as something to include otherwise. As for POP, that's linked as an official example. The powers of pong are speculated at Talk:Who Wants to Be a Superhero?#Missing Character Info??, but we'd only know for sure if they featured its use in the movie or comic. Only then could we add something like "Powers and abilities

Can walk on walls after playing POP and [powers of pong] after playing his favorite game, Pong." `ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 01:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback Blast power and Water Shock Weakness

I removed these additions - I've seen no source mention these at all. If there is a reliable source for this, we can put them back. Blade 20:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced

Where is any of this information coming from? Please provide citations. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 17:01, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most of it comes from the links in the section titled 'References'. Blade 21:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The real Matthew Atherton

Should there be info on his stint on WWTBS?--DrBat 14:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no, not really. This article is about the character. An seperate article about Matthew would be better, but even then...it might just turn out like Steel Chambers.

Plus, there wouldn't be much to write. He's something of a actor, married and then went on the reality show. Then it was just be an effective plot/episodic history. I'd say hold off. Episode summaries are already on the reality show's article. ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 16:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One thing, though - he created some sort of computer software development company. I forget the name presently. It was Atherton something, and he was credited founder/president/one of three employees.

This article states that Feedback was "created and originally portrayed by actor Matthew Atherton on the reality television series Who Wants to Be a Superhero?". It was my understanding that Atherton's profession was (and may still be) as a systems analyst, and that any acting he has done is a direct result of his appearance on the aforementioned show. As such, I think it would be more accurate to state that that Feedback was "created and originally portrayed by systems analyst Matthew Atherton on the reality television series Who Wants to Be a Superhero?". Opinions? -- -- BBlackmoor ^(talk) 16:58, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

considering he did 4 things before and only one thing since that isnt true "that any acting he has done is a direct result of his appearance on the aforementioned show" --71.131.18.132 01:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comic Book

I've heard that the comic was a four-issue miniseries, but now it looks like it is going to be a one-shot. Can anyone give more information about the comic(s)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.163.100.203 (talk • contribs) at 19:50 October 2, 2006

I will have to look into this. It may just be that they realized how creepy Atherton's acting on the show came off and that Stan Lee doesn't really know what makes a good superhero anymore. But that is just my opinion, and it does not belong in the article. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 06:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget to look into the movie as well. And hey, creepy acting can sell. Look at Peter Saarsgard. ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 07:57, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Has the comic come out yet? Darrik2 20:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has.I know.I bought a copy. - R.G. 14:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember his acting being creepy, I might have to watch it again. And let us not forget that Stan didn't really make anything remotley memorable until Fantastic Four, before then it was just forgettable one shots, but I agree in that he probably won't come up with anything that can be compared to his classics (and that Ravage guy dosn't interest me too much).-Omeganed0 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.204.139 (talk) 02:20, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New title?

Wouldn't this page be more logically named "Feedback (comics)" or something like that? 66.63.86.156 19:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there is a Marvel Comics character named Feedback and Feedback (comics) redirects to his page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ScorpSt (talk • contribs) 22:36, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Motor City Comi-con

Feedback made an appearence at the Motor City comic-con in Detroit, as well as Major Victory and Fat Momma.

Rouges Gallery and Mega Snake

Seeing as his role was small in the movie I would hardly see how the mega snake would be in feedbacks Rouges Gallery, also someone check on the megasnake page because someone (obviously a fan of feedbacks) wrote some opinion about feedbacks role and while I agree I also believe only the facts should be stated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.204.55 (talk) 03:21, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

Does Feedback even have an official Rogues Gallery? All I know is Ironside (comic) and Dark Enforcer, do you know any others? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.204.139 (talk) 02:22, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization

Why is this article in Category:Grinnell College people and Category:Biography articles of living people? Avram (talk) 21:08, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Avram: he graduated from Grinnell some years back. It was after you graduated, I think, but the S&B ran an article about him - it should be in the archives somewhere. Apparently even during his Grinnell days he was known for dressing up as a superhero - the S&B had a photograph of him cooking while wearing a Spiderman costume.
