}} |
|||
Magpie made his live-action appearance on The [[FOX]] television series ''[[Gotham (TV series)|Gotham]]'' played by Sarah Schenkkan in the fifth season. |
|||
====Fictional character biography==== |
|||
'''Margaret Pye''' always knew what she liked very early in life, beautiful and bright objects, preferably very bright! Because of this and her name, children used to tease her, giving the nickname Magpie. |
|||
Upon reaching adulthood, Margaret got a job in a museum, where she was surrounded by a large variety of precious and beautiful objects. His compulsion for bright things reached its peak at this time, strongly envying the museum because he could not have any of those objects. It was then that she went mad at once and decided she would become a thief. |
|||
Margaret made a disguise for herself, including a very eccentric wig, and adopted the nickname '''Magpie''' as her villain name. His first robbery was one of the collars of the museum, which he replaced with an explosive replica. Theft followed by an explosive duplicate that destroyed everything around him, including the evidence that he had been on site became his mode of operation. |
|||
Despite being considered a minor villain of [[DC universe]], Magpie even had considerable strength in [[Gotham City]]. It had a small criminal empire, owning its own henchmen, a gang whose main characteristic was that all its members used a moquette peteado. For Magpie's misfortune, his empire was short-lived, being defeated for the first time by the joint efforts of [[Batman]] and [[Superman]]. |
|||
As already evident, Magpie has a fascination with bright objects, feeling a compulsion to steal them. Clinically diagnosed as a kleptomaniac. She is so obsessed with these objects that during the time she spent in the Arkham Asylum (being the first saddle companion of the [[Poison Ivy (character)|Poison Ivy]], even before the [[Harlequin (comics)|Harlequin]]), she began to prostitute herself to the jailers for brilliant things. |
|||
It is also extremely violent and authoritarian. By the time he led a gang, he was extremely hard on his subordinates. It was quite common for her to get angry and even kill one of her henchmen if he failed or annoyed her in any way. |
|||
Once, after fleeing the [[Arkham Asylum]], Magpie found herself helpless and helpless. He ended up making an alliance with [[Penguin (character)|Penguim]], working directly for him in one of his nightclubs. Yet she and several other supervillains working for the Penguin were caught in the crossfire of this Gotham crime lord against the [[Great White Shark (comics)|White Shark]], another powerful gangster in town. Magpie had her life locked up by Taliao, a Shark's rent assassin. |
|||
During ''[[Blackest Night]]'', Magpie is among the many deceased villains that receive a [[Power ring (DC Comics)#Black|black power ring]] and become reanimated into a [[Black Lantern Corps|Black Lantern]]. She is seen slaughtering people in a grocery store. She also works closely with the reanimated [[Trigger Twins]] and [[King Snake]].<ref name="bn1">''Blackest Night: Batman'' #1 (2009)</ref> |
|||
However, in the ''[[New 52]]'' continuity, Magpie is alive once again and first appeared in [[Batman Eternal]] #15. Magpie is a Batman and Spectre villain, locked in Arkham Asylum. During the events of Batman Eternal, she is controlled by Blackfire and member of the cult. |
|||
In ''[[DC Rebirth]]'' she is one of the many villains taken down by Batman and [[Catwoman]] after he takes her along with him on an average night of his job in her quest for justice. She appears in [[Batgirl]] #8 fighting with Batgirl. In ''Batman/The Shadow'' she appears along with other Batman villains. |
|||
====Powers and abilities==== |
|||
Magpie is a normal woman, with no superpower to aid her in her goals. However, she is still a capable villain, with some skills at her disposal: |
|||
Magpie is very agile and stealthy, which makes her an excellent thief. |
|||
As previously stated, its modus operandi consists of replacing stolen objects with explosive replicas. That means not only can she forge false duplicates, but she can turn them into small bombs. |
|||
Magpie is not a very skilled fighter, but has long sharp nails, which she uses in times of combat. In more recent versions of the character, she is a [[meta-human]] whose superpower is precisely to create such sharp claws. |
|||
====Other versions==== |
|||
====='''Merg Gaterra'''===== |
|||
A male character named '''Merg Gaterra''' uses the name Magpie in [[Legion of Super-Heroes]] #320 (February, 1985). Little was known of Magpie, the so-called "greatest thief in the galaxy" until he was hired by the Monitor to break into the Legion of Super-Heroes' headquarters and steal a time-chip. Taking advantage of his enhanced visual abilities and high-tech devices provided him by the [[Monitor (comics)|Monitor]], he actually succeeded in gaining access to the Legion HQ. However, he eventually encountered [[Nura Nal|Dream Girl]] and [[Thom Kallor|Star Boy]], who prevented him from actually stealing the time-chip. When he was cornered by the Legionnaires the Monitor teleported him to safety. It was later revealed that the Monitor was working on a commission from Universo, but this information was not shared with Magpie. Magpie is the second thief to encounter the Legion who called himself "the greatest thief in the galaxy." The first was Benn Pares, as mentioned in the Who's Who profile above. Neither thief was successful in acquiring what they had hoped to steal from the Legion. There was never any reason given for why Merg Gaterra took on the code-name "Magpie;" the assumption is the name comes from the species of bird known to "steal" shiny objects compulsively. That doesn't explain why the story where he appeared is entitled "The Magpie Complex," though, as he is on a very specific assignment and his actions are not related to any uncontrollable action at all. After the so-called Five-Year Gap, Magpie was in prison and broke out when the Persuader attacked the facility to free Mano. Whether he failed to escape or returned to his criminal career was never revealed. |
|||
====='''Injustice 2 comics'''===== |
|||
Magpie appears in the prequel comic to ''[[Injustice 2]]''. Following the events of the first game, Magpie is shown as a member of this universe's [[Suicide Squad]].<ref name="Injustice 2. #1">''Injustice 2'' #1</ref> <ref name="Injustice 2. #2">''Injustice 2'' #2</ref> In a flashback she appear among the C team of the Suicide Squad who break in [[Harley Quinn|Harley's]] Horde searching for Harley. In the fight she got knock out by Terry. When Harley got captured and that [[Amanda Waller|Waller]] place a bomb in her head she appear to be part of the Suicide Squad. And when a [[Jason Todd|Batman copycat]] appear she is chosen among those who must not be part of the team and got her head blow off. |
|||
====='''Li'l Gotham'''===== |
|||
Magpie appears in Li'l Gotham #8 (January, 2014). Magpie was one of the criminals hired by Penguin to commit jewelry heists. When [[Damian Wayne |Robin]] and friends invaded the [[Iceberg Lounge]], Magpie was apprehended by [[Katana (comics)|Katana]]. |
|||
====In other media==== |
|||
====='''Television'''===== |
|||
* Magpie appears in ''[[Beware the Batman]]'', voiced by [[Grey DeLisle]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/news.php?action%3Dfullnews%26id%3D1295 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2013-05-17 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120721105026/http://worldsfinestonline.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=1295 |archivedate=2012-07-21 |df= }}</ref>. Her design for the show was based on popular singer [[Lady Gaga]]. This version is '''Margaret Sorrow''', a kleptomaniac thief, volunteered for psychiatric procedures at [[Blackgate Penitentiary]] to reform and reduce her sentence. The procedure worked, but repressed her criminal urges to the point where they re-appeared as a split personality, Magpie, while as '''Cassie''', a new identity, she was a meek, shy secretary. In addition, she lost the ability to feel pain and gained the ability to grow long claws as nails. As Magpie, she began to steal "shiny" objects as well as went on a quest to regain her old memories, as well getting her revenge on the head psychiatrists of the procedure. She was stopped by Batman, when she declared that Cassie was "gone", and only Magpie remained. In "Secrets", prior to learning the full extent of the experiment and thinking they only robbed her of her memories, Magpie tries to get her memories back and get her revenge on the psychiatrists (Joe Braxton and Bethanie Ravencroft) that ran the experiment before being stopped by Batman and Jim Gordon. In "Attraction", she has developed an obsession with Batman after he visits her in prison. Magpie also becomes jealous of [[Katana (comics)|Katana]] and escapes from Blackgate, declaring her love to Batman and threatening Katana. Magpie lays a trap for her and tries to bury her alive. However, Magpie is defeated by Batman and Katana escapes. Magpie is later one of the several villains gathered by [[Ra's al Ghul]] in "Reckoning" to bring Batman to him, dead or alive. She engages the other villains in battle while they are all competing to get to Batman. |

A villanous version of Barbara Kean appears in ''[[Gotham (TV series)|Gotham]]'' portrayed by [[Erin Richards]]. Barbara Kean is the daughter of a wealthy couple and the owner of an art gallery, Barbara Kean is the ex-[[Engagement|fiancée]] of James Gordon and the ex-lover of [[Renee Montoya]].<ref name="VarietyFeb2014" /> After a hiatus from Gordon following attempts on her life by the [[Sal Maroni|Maroni]] and [[Carmine Falcone|Falcone]] crime families. Barbara has stayed with Renee Montoya and her parents before planning to rekindle her relationship with James Gordon. Barbara even befriends [[Selina Kyle]] and [[Poison Ivy (character)|Ivy Pepper]] when they took refuge in her penthouse. After finding out that Gordon had moved on to a relationship with [[Leslie Thompkins]], Barbara later had a romantic encounter with the wealthy [[Ogre (DC Comics)|Jason Lennon]], the serial killer known as the Ogre. She was [[Posttraumatic stress disorder|severely traumatized]] after she was kidnapped by Lennon and forced to murder her own parents. The Ogre's malevolent insanity appears to live on in her psyche. When she attempted to kill Leslie during an informal counseling session, the latter rendered her unconscious. She was incarcerated in [[Arkham Asylum]] until she is among those sprung from Arkham Asylum by [[Tabitha Galavan]] on her brother [[Azrael (comics)|Theo]]'s orders. A convoluted and failed attempt on Gordon's life at Gotham Cathedral occurs when Barbara wears the wedding dress she had originally ordered for their wedding and has Arkham escapees as priest and witnesses. During an apparent last attempt to kill Gordon, Barbara falls out a window and is grabbed by Gordon. She lets go and falls, ending up in the hospital and put into some sort of induced coma before being transferred to Arkham Asylum's medical wing. When news of James Gordon being found guilty and being sentenced to 40 years at [[Blackgate Penitentiary]] is heard on Arkham Asylum's radio, Barbara awakens from her coma. A nurse notices this and shouts for someone to get [[Hugo Strange]]. Hugo Strange later releases Barbara from Arkham so that he can study her. After helping Gordon get info about who contracted the hit on Thomas Wayne and [[Martha Wayne]], Barbara found her way to where [[Solomon Grundy (comics)|Butch Gilzean]] and Tabitha Galavan were residing. Butch later kicks Barbara out. She later exposes "Gordon" at the Police Station as being [[Clayface|an imposter]] when visiting the Police Station, thus causing [[Harvey Bullock (comics)|Harvey Bullock]] and [[Alfred Pennyworth]] to quickly realise the real Gordon alongside Bruce Wayne and [[Lucius Fox]] were being held at Arkham Asylum. Six months later, Barbara and Tabitha have opened [[Gotham City Sirens|Sirens]] [[Iceberg Lounge|Nightclub]], and while she and Barbara are shown to be in a romantic relationship, she still harbors some feelings for Gordon. After Barbara learns that [[Penguin (character)|Penguin]] has romantic feeling for [[Riddler|Nygma]], she informs Nygma of this after correctly deducing that Penguin killed Nygma's girlfriend Isabella's. Afterwards, Nygma forms a partnership with Barbara, Tabitha, and Butch to destroy everything Penguin loves. After Nygma shoots Penguin in the harbor docks, Barbara is hired by Jim to interrogate a worker in the dock to find info of a [[Court of Owls|Court]] weapon. Before they can get more info, Barbara and Tabitha are attacked by Talon, who kills their henchmen, although Barbara and Tabitha managed to escape. As the chaos caused by the [[List of Gotham characters#Introduced in Season 3|Alice Tetch]] Virus comes to a close, Barbara (apparently) kills Butch, having heard his and Tabitha's plans to betray her. During a fight against Tabitha at her safe house, Barbara ends up being electrocuted to death. She later returns to life upon [[Ra's al Ghul]] bathing her in the Lazarus Pit as she tries to get Tabitha Galavan and Selina Kyle to work for her in an arms race against Cobblepot while targeting an embalming knife. At the time when Ra's al Ghul was in Blackgate, he transferred some energy for Barbara Kean to use at a later date. After the incident with the Speed Demonz biker gang, Oswald Cobblepot sends Barbara Kean, Tabitha Galavan, and Selina Kyle to the Narrows to bring him Edward Nygma. When Firefly crashes the fight between Tabitha Galavan and Solomon Grundy, Barbara Kean shoots Cherry after Leslie Thompkins disabled [[Firefly (DC Comics)|Firefly]]. Barbara Kean then declares to the crowd that they are defecting from Cobblepot's services. After abducting [[Sofia Falcone Gigante|Sofia]] while thinking that she is on Cobblepot's side, Barbara learns that Sofia is against Cobblepot while seeing that she was right about her claim when [[Victor Zsasz]] uses a rocket launcher to destroy her lair. Afterwards, Barbara, Tabitha, and Selina side with Sofia in her war against Cobblepot. The energy that Ra's al Ghul placed in Barbara Kean turned out to be a beacon for the rest of the [[League of Shadows]] as they arrive at The Sirens club.

|||
A young boy living in [[Gotham City]] who helps Bruce Wayne during Zero Year. He comes to work for Batman after his parents are made insane. |
|||
====Fictional character biography==== |
|||
Readers are given their first ever look at a young Duke Thomas during the “Zero Year” storyline. In this story, Duke is a young boy still living at home. However, he is already showing signs of intelligence and determination as he tries to think of a riddle to stump the Riddler himself. |
|||
In the “Endgame” storyline Duke was held hostage by the Joker and forced to play a part in his plan to defeat Batman. The end result was that Batman saved Duke but was too late to save his parents. They were gassed with Joker toxin and driven crazy by the effects. Duke was left on his own without his parents or anyone else there to take care of him. |
|||
The We are Robin series starts right where the “Endgame” storyline left off. Duke is still missing his parents but now he is determined to find them. Along the way, he gets caught up in the “Robin” movement, an effort by local teens to use vigilantism to protect their city. He becomes heavily involved with the Robins and helps them go on missions. He gets so good at the job that he ends up playing a pivotal role in the “Robin War” crossover event. |
|||
After the “Robin War” the Robins are left disbanded and unable to go on any more missions. However, Duke is still busy trying to find his parents. He eventually finds them only to discover the horrific truth, they were exposed to so much Joker toxin that it is still effecting them. The doctors are not sure if the couple will ever recover. |
|||
After Batman “dies” while fighting the Joker, former Police Commissioner Gordon steps up to the role. The new Batman begins investigating a mysterious Mr. Bloom who is causing problems throughout the city. Alongside this, Duke launches his own investigation into the matter and tries to solve the mystery in a way that he believes Batman would. This leads to him playing a large role in the final confrontation with Bloom. |
|||
At the beginning of the Rebirth Batman series, Bruce Wayne officially offers Duke a position training under him. The offer is not for a position as Robin though, instead it will be “something new.” |
|||
Their training sessions are detailed throughout the backup issues of the first two All-Star Batman story arcs. Duke begins to slowly learn the skills he will need to use to fight crime, but also begins to learn more about himself and how he wants to personally approach crime fighting. He does not want to do things like Batman and even goes out to investigate in the middle of the day at one point. |
|||
All of this leads into the big reveal of the series, that Duke Thomas has a mysterious set of superpowers. In a confrontation against an old enemy, Duke unintentionally uses these powers to save his own life. Readers are given little information about what these powers are or where they came from. |
|||
Duke ends up as a major player in both Dark Days one-shots. In these comics we learn that his mother was a part of a secret organization called “The Immortal Men” and that this could be where Duke’s powers come from. We also see Duke use his powers again when they are activated by the presence of the mysterious Nth Metal. We still don’t know everything about his history but we are starting to learn a little more. |
|||
This November, Duke will be getting a solo series titled Batman and the Signal. The series has been slated as a three issue miniseries and will be written by Tony Patrick and Scott Snyder with art by Cully Hammer. It will explore Duke’s life under his new identity as the Signal, a member of the Bat-family who fights crime in the daylight. |

* Ubu appears in [[Batman: The Animated Series]], voiced by [[George Dicenzo]] and [[Manu Tupou]], and also guest-starred in an episode of [[Superman: The Animated Series]], voiced by by [[Michael Horse]]. Ubu's blind obedience made him a mostly silent accomplice in Ra's' terrorist plots. Ubu drew no views of his own and just did what his master ordered. He has only shown feelings of hatred for Batman, who turned down Ra's' offer of succession, but after Batman saved his life, Ubu developed a respect for him and willingly gave him his canteen of water in order to survive after Ra's al Ghul stranded him in the desert. Ubu also attended to Ra's' long lost son Arkady Duvall when he was going home with his father after so many years. Afterward, Ubu was complicit in Ra's' plot to kidnap [[Superman]] in an attempt to drain his powers to heal Ra's as the Lazarus Pit no longer had any effect. Though successful in revitalizing Ra's, they were thwarted by Batman. Decades later in [[Batman Beyond]], a man named '''Carter''' (voiced by [[Mark Hamill]]) replaced Ubu as Ra's' bodyguard when Bruce Wayne was rejuvenated in Ra's' plan to take over his body. |

Upon telegraphing his moves, Robin then activated a flash bang on his steel bo staff and knocked out the villain. He later escaped with Talia and Ra's Al-Ghul. Ubu caught Batman twice on the day his master was to launch a fusion rocket into the Sun. He was later defeated by [[Wildcat (comics)|Wildcat]]. |
|||
* Ubu appears in [[Young Justice: Invasion]] and [[Young Justice: Outsiders]] voiced by [[Fred Tatasciore]]. When the Light called for a meeting with the [[Reach (comics)|Reach]], Ubu accompanied his master. He stayed back with the other adjutants and enforcers while Ra's al Ghul bantered with their supposed allies. Ubu displayed no emotion when [[Tigress (DC Comics)|Tigress's]] true identity was exposed, but was taken by surprise when [[Artemis Crock|Artemis]] and [[Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm)|Aqualad]] received help. [[Lagoon Boy]], in his puffer mode, charged Ubu, and the two wrestled. Ubu slowly lost ground, but was energized when he saw his master stabbed by [[Black Beetle (DC Comics)|Black Beetle]]. He overpowered Lagoon Boy, shoved Artemis aside, and caught Ra's al Ghul just as he crumpled to the ground. Ubu cradled him, and reassured him he would take care of him. He shot his grapple gun at the opening in the cave ceiling, and escaped with his master, vowing that the Master would be resurrected. |

He intercepted Batman, and with his superior strength pinned him against a tanker truck. He was defeated by Robin, who swung the fuel hose around his leg and jammed the gas pedal. Ubu was dragged away. He managed to recover, but it was too late: Ra's al Ghul had perished, after falling from the top of the launch tower. Ubu carried him away, and urged Talia to follow him. As their plan had failed, they retreated. Ubu helped Sensei with reviving his master in the Lazarus Pit. As Ra's rose, Ubu approached to support him, but was beaten back by Ra's, who was enraged as a side effect of the reviving process. Ubu would not hear his master's apology; he instead apologized himself for not being able to stop Batman. |

''Tiny Titans'' stars alternate versions of [[DC Universe]] characters, primarily those from the ''[[Teen Titans]]'' series. It is set in a kid-friendly, [[elementary school]] environment. Issues typically consist of several individual stories as opposed to one cohesive storyline. |
|||
==== Recurring characters and jokes ==== |
|||
Although the comical nature of the stories feature a wide variety of characters, several are part of recurring jokes. |
|||
* '''[[Robin (comics)|Robin]]''' is one of the more featured characters and is generally considered the leader, though no one seems to take him seriously. In one attempt to prove his character, Robin briefly changes his name and costume to [[Nightwing]], but still fails to garner any respect. |
|||
* '''[[Beast Boy]]''' and '''[[Terra (comics)|Terra]]''' appear as part of a very one-sided relationship, in which Terra responds to Beast Boy's silly romantic advances by throwing rocks at him. |
|||
* '''[[Deathstroke|Deathstroke (Slade)]]''' is the [[principal (school)|principal]] of the kids' school, Sidekick City Elementary. The kids tend to think of Principal Slade as a mean guy, and they are usually right. |
|||
* '''[[Psimon]]''' is often called [[Brainiac (character)|Brainiac]] because of his exposed brain, and he always has to remind Wonder Girl what his name is, but she does not listen. |
|||
The team catch phrase is "Aw yeah, Titans", which everyone eventually says, except [[Miss Martian]] and [[Kid Devil]], who are infants. The catchphrase has been referenced by many other mainstream comic books. |
|||
==== References to DC continuity ==== |
|||
* In ''Tiny Titans'' #12, the [[Monitor (comics)|Monitor]] is a [[hall monitor]], who is constantly thwarted by the [[Anti-Monitor]]. |
|||
* In the same issue, [[Deathstroke|Principal Slade]] leaves [[Darkseid|Lunch Lady Darkseid]] in charge of the school. Darkseid declares that the Tiny Titans will have to do their finals that day, and that it is the [[Final Crisis|Finals Crisis]]. |
|||
* In ''Tiny Titans'' #13, page 16 shows a "signed portrait" of [[Dan DiDio]], as well as [[Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam!|''Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam!''#1]], [[Final Crisis|''Final Crisis''#1]], [[Teen Titans#The New Teen Titans (1980–1996)|''The New Teen Titans''#1]], and [[Superman (comic book)|''Superman''#199]]. |
|||
* Issue #17 sees Robin having to claim [[Batman: Battle for the Cowl|Batman's cowl]], which has been claimed by a cow. |
|||
* Issue #25 not only has the return of [[Superboy (Kon-El)|Conner Kent (Superboy)]], but the Tiny Titans also get a hold of different colored rings representing the emotional spectrum ring from the [[Green Lantern]] comics. Members of the [[Green Lantern Corps]] show up to retrieve the rings from the children. |
|||
==== Popular culture references ==== |
|||
* Due to [[Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)|Ted Kord]] being dead, [[Blue Beetle]]'s guardians are shown to be [[The Beatles]], who quote the titles of their songs. |
|||
* In issue #3, Robin and his friends discover penguins with helmets and rockets in the [[Batcave]]. It is revealed that they are from "[[Batman Returns|that penguin movie]]", and the Tiny Titans later suggest they should watch the film to learn how Batman dealt with them. |
|||
* In issue #17, Robin again makes a movie reference when he complains about a rubber costume he got for his birthday, saying it feels like he is [[Batman & Robin (film)|in a movie]]. |
|||
* In issue #18, when Robin ends up in detention, his continuous talking results in him receiving [[The Breakfast Club|more detention]]. Talon then states that [[Spider-Man: One More Day|one more day]] would turn his brain to mush. |
|||
* The Tiny Titans often have Pet Club meetings with their various pets (e.g., [[Ace the Bat-Hound]] or [[Krypto the Superdog]]). The first rule of Pet Club is "We don't talk about Pet Club", a reference to the novel ''[[Fight Club (novel)|Fight Club]]''. |
|||
* In issue #13, Wayne Manor is depicted strongly resembling its counterpart from the [[Batman (TV series)|1960s ''Batman'' television series]], just in brighter colors. At the end of the issue, Robin also quips "same bat-time, same bat-channel", a phrase often used at the end of an episode. |

'''Raelene "Rae" Sharp''', alias '''Razorsharp''', was a member of a group of data-pirates known as the [[Bloodlines (comics)|Psyba-Rats]] along with Megabiter, Hackrat, and Channel. One job, involving a [[Wayne Enterprises]] satellite, went wrong when her group attracted the attention of [[Robin (comics)|Robin]]. Their client, the shadowy information-broker known as "The Collector", not wanting to draw the attention of the Boy Wonder, decided it would be best to have the Psyba-Rats killed. He managed to kill Megabiter, but the other rats escaped into a warehouse. |
|||
Unfortunately, this warehouse happened to be occupied by the monstrous alien Venev. Both the Psyba-Rats and the Collector's men are ambushed by the monster, and the Psyba-Rats are the only survivors, however, both Razorsharp and Channel were fed upon by Venev. |
|||
Both Rae and Channel had their latent Metagene activated as result of this, with Raelene gaining the ability to transform her arms into large blades fitting of her alias. |
|||
In retaliation for the death of Megabiter, the rats, with the help of Robin, launched an attack on the Collector. Robin urged Raelene not to murder the Collector.

A homage to [[John Milton]]'s [[Paradise Lost|''Paradise Lost'']], Lucifer will be portrayed as "gentle, almost sympathetic".<ref name="kripkeluc">{{cite web |url=http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/2009/08/supernatural_kripke_jime_beave.html |title=Supernatural: Kripke, Jim Beaver and Misha Collins Speak! |work=The CW Source |date=August 14, 2009 |accessdate=July 17, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090817111011/http://blogs.trb.com/network/cwsource/2009/08/supernatural_kripke_jime_beave.html |archivedate=August 17, 2009 |df= }}</ref> Kripke reasoned, "He was essentially betrayed, so in some ways he can be viewed sympathetically ... if we can make the angels dicks, Lucifer can be sympathetic."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinemaspy.com/article.php?id=2846 |title="Supernatural" Season 5, or Why Dean Takes Cas to a Whorehouse |work=Cinemaspy.com |first=Robert |last=Falconer |date=July 26, 2009 |accessdate=July 17, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090729085226/http://www.cinemaspy.com/article.php?id=2846 |archivedate=July 29, 2009 }}</ref> Kripke further characterized him as a "Devil who has doubt" and "a lot of affection for God and the angels", and who "speaks really tenderly and gently and...doesn't lie".<ref name="kripkeluc"/> |

====Plot==== |
|||
[[Lucifer]] is the second oldest archangel, the first fallen angel, introduced as a recurring character in the fifth season of the series. From his prison in hell, he orchestrated events not only seen in seasons one through four, but decades prior, to eventually lead to his release by breaking the [[Supernatural (U.S. TV series)#66 seals|66 seals]]. In the episode "[[Sin City (Supernatural)|Sin City]]", he was described as the 'father' and god of the demons, the one who gave them their form and purpose. Azazel reinforced this by referring to him as "My Father" while possessing a priest before slaughtering a convent of nuns. However, in "Abandon All Hope...", Crowley remarks that Lucifer views demons with contempt and his cannon fodder and will destroy them once he has eliminated humanity. |
|||
In the episode "The End", Lucifer states his fall was the result of refusing God's decree to love humans more than him. As a result, God had Michael cast him into hell. Ruby also reveals in "When the Levee Breaks" in defiance to God, he turned Lilith into the first demon. Both Death and Gabriel have compared Lucifer's hatred of humans to ""one big temper tantrum!"" because God favored humans over him, his most beloved angel. Lucifer does not like how humans have changed the planet from its original state, and hopes to purify it. He is also very critical of humans, mostly in how they blame him for their own mistakes, wrongdoings, flaws and failures. Creator Eric Kripke has jokingly compared him to a "raging psychotic" version of environmentalist [[Ed Begley Jr.]] with "unlimited power".<ref name="funapoc"/> |
|||
Due to his angelic and spiritual nature, Lucifer needs a human vessel in order to interact directly with the physical world. Lucifer seeks out a man named Nick, whose wife and baby had recently been murdered. Tormenting Nick about the tragedy, he casts illusions such as a baby crying and blood pouring from the crib, eventually appearing to Nick in the form of his late wife Sarah. Openly admitting his identity to Nick, he tries to gain sympathy by telling Nick he was punished for loving God too much. He then convinces Nick to be his vessel by promising to get vengeance against God for allowing his family to be murdered.<ref name="sympathy">{{cite episode|title=Sympathy For The Devil |series=Supernatural |serieslink=Supernatural (U.S. TV series) |network=CW |airdate=September 10, 2009 |season=5 |number=1}}</ref> However, Lucifer later reveals to Sam that he is the true intended vessel.<ref>{{cite episode|title= Free to Be You and Me|series=Supernatural |network=CW |airdate=September 24, 2009 |season=5 |number=3}}</ref> By "Abandon All Hope..." it is shown Nick's body, being a temporary vessel and not his "true" vessel, is incapable of containing Lucifer's immense power and is beginning to wear down; revealed in "Two Minutes to Midnight" he has to consume gallons of demon blood to keep his vessel from combusting. He forms a ritual to summon [[Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse#White Horse|Death]] and when the Winchesters, Harvelles and Castiel arrive, he traps Castiel in holy oil and sends Meg after the others. After being ambushed by the brothers he is shot with the Colt but survives; he then reveals his status as one of five things in creation immune to the Colt; while the brothers escape with Castiel's help, he manages to summon Death and bind him under his control. |
|||
During a convention of pagan gods in "Hammer of the Gods", Lucifer is made aware of the brothers' location by Mercury, who betrays the rest of them. Slaughtering all the gods, he approaches the brothers and is stalled by Kali until Gabriel arrives. Gabriel provides safe passage for Kali and the brothers, and confronts Lucifer about his ultimate reason for rebellion, claiming that he rebelled not because he recognized that humans were flawed, but because he was no longer their father's favorite son. Lucifer questions Gabriel's loyalties, but he replies that he believes — by virtue of his experiences with them — humans, despite their flaws, strive to do their best. Ultimately, Lucifer kills Gabriel with his own sword when Gabriel's attempt to catch Lucifer off-guard with a duplicate fails, but he is clearly distraught over this. |
|||
Having acquired all four rings of the Horseman (which can trap Lucifer back in his prison), Sam and Dean enter Lucifer's hideout, planning to trap him when Sam agrees to be his vessel; this completely fails, as Lucifer is too powerful to fight. Lucifer brings forward four demons, who had been part of Azazel's surveillance of Sam since his youth and kills them all in a way of "letting off steam" and acquiring Sam's trust. Following that, he confronts Michael in a graveyard, attempting to convince him not to fight, reasoning there was no real purpose; Michael refuses. Dean interrupts, while Castiel dissipates Michael, an act Lucifer took unkindly to, and kills him. He starts to pummel Dean and when Bobby attempts to use the Colt to stop him he is killed as well. However, Sam then sees a toy army man in an ashtray of the Impala, a remnant from his youth, and regains control. Sam reopens the hole, and jumps in, taking Michael with him. |
|||
Lucifer returns in season seven as part of Sam's hallucinations, caused by the memories of his time in the cage. Lucifer tells Sam that the world he has been in for the last year is not real and Sam is still in the cage, a new form of torture which Lucifer prides himself on as being his best yet. Sam confronts Lucifer and asks him why he doesn't end this dream world to which Lucifer responds by saying that he will only end it when Sam can't take it anymore. Lucifer later changes into Dean and tricks Sam into leaving Bobby's house. Once at the destination, he reveals himself to prove he can control Sam's "dream", although Lucifer is proven to be a hallucination when Dean tells Sam how to figure out what is real. Despite being proven to be a hallucination, he informs Sam that he's not going anywhere. Lucifer tortures Sam by depriving him of sleep by repeatedly waking him up and later making food look like maggots in an attempt to kill him. Although Sam initially manages to ignore the hallucination, it becomes worse when Sam acknowledges Lucifer's advice when trying to get information about Dean's whereabouts, giving the hallucination additional strength. Castiel, found to be alive, tries to rebuild Sam's mental wall, but fails as it's completely gone. In order to save Sam and atone for what he's done, Castiel transfers the problem to himself, leaving him haunted by Lucifer and stuck in a mental hospital. In "Reading is Fundamental," when Castiel comes out of his catatonic state, Sam asks him about seeing Lucifer. Castiel explains that he did at first, but Lucifer eventually disappeared. Castiel believes that Lucifer was simply a projection of Sam's own torment from his time in Hell and that projection disappeared as the torment was no longer in Sam's mind. |
|||
In the season eight episode "Goodbye Stranger," it is revealed that Lucifer had a series of crypts around the United States and possibly the world containing his most precious artifacts. The locations were only known to Lucifer himself and his most trusted followers, such as Azazel. Among the items in his crypts, in an angel-proofed box, was the angel Word of God tablet. Eventually Sam, Dean and Castiel locate the right crypt with the help of Meg who knows from her time with Azazel and get the angel tablet. |
|||
In the season 10 episode "[[Brother's Keeper (Supernatural)|Brother's Keeper]]", Death explains that Lucifer and the other archangels once fought a war with an ancient evil called the Darkness, eventually locking it away. Lucifer was given the [[Mark of Cain]], the lock on the Darkness' prison and the Mark corrupted him into his jealousy towards humanity, leading to his fall into evil. The first mention of Lucifer (and Michael)'s activity since their imprisonment in Hell is mentioned in "Out of the Darkness, Into the Fire" when an aide of Crowley informs him that ever since the Darkness broke free of its prison, the two archangels are screaming, trying to tell others about the danger the Darkness will pose to the world. |
|||
In "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" and "the Devil in the Details", Sam travels into Hell to speak to Lucifer, directed by what he believes to be visions from God. Manifesting in the form of Nick, Lucifer is summoned into a smaller cage in Hell where he tells Sam he can defeat the Darkness, but needs Sam to be his vessel again. After the warding suddenly fails, Lucifer teleports Sam into the cage and reveals that he sent the visions to Sam after the Darkness' release damaged his cage and is working with Rowena. Lucifer shows Sam several memories, explaining that while Sam once had the strength to do what needed to be done, he lost that after Dean went to Purgatory. Sam accepts that Lucifer is telling the truth, but refuses to agree to possession again as he knows no matter who wins, Lucifer or the Darkness, humanity is doomed. Lucifer engages Sam, Dean and Castiel in battle, proving to be more than a match for all three together. After Lucifer confirms he can defeat the Darkness, Castiel agrees to possession by him. At that same moment, Rowena completes a spell that apparently banishes Lucifer back to his cage. After the Winchesters leave, Lucifer possessing Castiel reveals himself to Rowena and Crowley and kills Rowena so she can't send him back to the cage. |
|||
In "Into the Mystic", Dean finds Lucifer looking through the bunker for a way to summon the Darkness and confides in him about his connection to Amara, believing Lucifer to be Castiel. Lucifer consoles Dean on the connection while secretly interested in this development. |
|||
In "The Vessel", Lucifer has regained control of Hell and keeps Crowley as his pet. After receiving a call from the Winchesters, he is shocked to discover that one of the Hands of God survived and agrees to transport Dean back to a submarine in 1943 to get it before the sub sinks. Special warding keeps Lucifer out of the sub and he and Sam attempt to find a way to remove the warding. Sam finds a spell, but doesn't believe it will work as it requires the power of an archangel. As Sam offers his soul to help give "Castiel" the power he needs, Lucifer reveals himself and attempts to destroy Sam. Castiel regains control temporarily, but is unable to eject Lucifer as its taking all of his strength to keep Lucifer from killing Sam and only Lucifer has the power to rescue Dean. As Delphine Seydoux unleashes the power of the Hand of God, Lucifer pulls Dean back to the present and reveals himself to Dean. Lucifer throws Dean around the bunker and attempts to use the power of the Hand of God, but finds it expended. As Lucifer advances on Dean, Sam uses a blood sigil to banish him from the bunker. |
|||
Following his banishment, Lucifer attempts to find another Hand of God through Crowley in "[[Beyond the Mat (Supernatural)|Beyond the Mat]]." To this end, he sets Crowley up to be "freed" by Lucifer's loyal demon Simmonds so Crowley will lead him to another Hand of God. Crowley leads Lucifer to the Rod of Aaron, but anticipates Lucifer's double-cross. Crowley attempts to kill Lucifer with the Rod's power, but Simmonds takes the brunt of the blast, saving Lucifer. Realizing the Rod's power is expended, Crowley quickly teleports away before Lucifer can kill him. In "[[Hell's Angel (Supernatural)|Hell's Angel]]", Lucifer enters Heaven, killing an angel he finds there and intimidates the angels into following him to combat Amara. Amara unleashes a wave of darkness through Heaven, frightening the angels and pushing them closer to following Lucifer. However, the Winchesters, Crowley and the still-alive Rowena team up together to free Castiel and banish Lucifer back to his Cage. To this end, they summon him into warding in a church surrounded by Holy Fire. Once Lucifer is trapped, Dean attempts to use magic to suppress the archangel to restore Castiel, but Lucifer quickly overpowers it. In a desperate attempt, Crowley enters Castiel's vessel where he finds that Lucifer has "really gotten his hooks in good" to Castiel who is apathetic to everything around him even as Lucifer appears in the form of Nick and attacks Crowley. Sam exorcises Crowley to save his life and the warding breaks, releasing Lucifer. Lucifer is able to get the Horn of Joshua from the Winchesters, another Hand of God, just before Amara appears. Lucifer blasts Amara with both his own power and the Horn's to no avail. Amara then captures Lucifer and takes him to a grain silo she is using as her base. Believing Lucifer to be the one thing God still cares about, Amara begins torturing him in hopes of drawing God out. |
|||
Over the next few weeks, Amara tortures Lucifer mercilessly, trying and failing to draw out God. In "[[All in the Family (Supernatural)|All in the Family]]", Amara notices that Lucifer is in bad shape along with Castiel and contacts Dean to pass on the message to God. Having learned that God intends to sacrifice Himself to Amara to save the universe, the Winchesters, Metatron and Prophet Donatello Redfern team up together to rescue Lucifer, hoping to convince God to use Lucifer in battle against Amara. As Dean distracts Amara, Sam, Metatron and Donatello find the heavily injured Lucifer who agrees to set aside his differences with God and fight Amara with them. They set him free, but he is too weakened to teleport them to safety. As Amara approaches, Metatron sacrifices himself to buy them time to get away, but Amara quickly catches up to them. Before she can kill the group, God teleports them and the Impala into the Bunker. There, for the first time in millennia, God and Lucifer are reunited. After commenting on how much each other has changed, God heals Lucifer's injuries to the fallen archangel's surprise. |
|||
In "[[We Happy Few (Supernatural)|We Happy Few]]", Lucifer sulks around the Bunker, displeased to be reunited with God who won't apologize to him. Fed up with the two's issues with each other, the Winchesters get God and Lucifer to have a sit-down in which things are tense at first but the two eventually reconcile. Now fully on their side, Lucifer joins God in explaining that the last time they defeated the Darkness, it had taken the four archangels and God to barely win and this time Michael is in no shape to battle and Gabriel and Raphael are dead and God can't resurrect them. As a result, the Winchesters suggest pulling in the witches, angels and demons to help them. As God refuses to order the angels to help, Lucifer returns to Heaven where the angels refuse to hear him out. In response, Lucifer returns control to Castiel who tells the angels that Lucifer is burning both himself and his vessel out but he feels his role in the battle is to give Lucifer form on Earth to fight. Castiel and Lucifer are able to convince the angels to join them and Sam and Dean are able to convince the witches and demons respectively. After the witches, angels and demons strike Amara, she enters the warehouse where the Winchesters, God and Lucifer are waiting for her and Lucifer strikes Amara through the back with an angelic spear. Due to her weakened state, Lucifer's strike brings Amara down and she and God confront each other. However, God waits too long to transfer the Mark of Cain to Sam and Amara recovers and attacks God with all of her power. Lucifer attempts to save his father, but Amara flings him against a pillar and yanks him out of Castiel, while leaving Castiel unconscious. In "[[Alpha and Omega (Supernatural)|Alpha and Omega]]", Dean goes to check on Lucifer only to find Castiel alone. Castiel tells him that Lucifer is gone from his vessel but he doesn't know what happened to the archangel after Amara pulled him out. |

In "[[Keep Calm and Carry On]]", a weakened Lucifer searches for a suitable new vessel chased by Crowley, but keeps burning out the people he's possessing. In "[[Mamma Mia (Supernatural)|Mamma Mia]]''"'', Lucifer settles on aging rock star Vince Vincente (Rick Springfield) and gains permission by posing as Vince's dead lover. With a new permanent vessel, Lucifer meets with Crowley who works with Rowena in an attempt to force Lucifer from Vince and back into the Cage. However, the effort fails and Crowley flees while Lucifer captures Rowena. In ''The Foundry'', Lucifer attempts to have Rowena make Vince a permanent vessel for him, but she betrays Lucifer and casts a spell that speeds up Vince's decay and banishes Lucifer to the bottom of the ocean. In "Rock Never Dies", a pair of amateur Satanists attempt to summon Lucifer who appears in the decaying body of Vince. Lucifer was actually summoned by one of his feathers they had and kills the Satanists then uses the feather to repair his vessel temporarily. Posing as Vince, Lucifer organizes a concert to murder a lot of people and is confronted by the Winchesters, Crowley and Castiel who are unable to defeat him. Lucifer explains to them that he feels that God only made up with him to defeat the Darkness and has abandoned him once more. Lucifer no longer has a plan except to destroy everything he wants and vacates Vince as his body burns out. In "LOTUS", Lucifer begins possessing people of influence, ultimately possessing [[President of the United States]] Jefferson Rooney. As the President, Lucifer sends the [[United States Secret Service|Secret Service]] after the Winchesters and engages in sex with Rooney's mistress Kelly, resulting in her becoming pregnant with his child. Crowley kidnaps Kelly who tricks Lucifer to a motel where the Winchesters, Castiel, Crowley and Rowena are waiting for him. After using a sigil to weaken Lucifer, Sam activates a device created by the British Men of Letters that can exorcise any angel or demon from their vessel. Despite Lucifer's attempts to resist, he is exorcised from Rooney and Rowena casts a spell that returns Lucifer to his cage. |
|||
At SDCC 2016, it was affirmed that all Lucifer wants is a "vacation", being tired after ruling both Heaven and Hell, and happy that he finally reconciled with his father. |
|||
It is soon revealed that Lucifer was not banished back to the Cage, but was actually transferred back into Nick; Crowley retrieved Nick's corpse and had a team of demons 'repair' him, turning Nick into a new Cage where Lucifer cannot leave his vessel and can only use his powers on Crowley's orders. Lucifer is eventually able to turn the tables on Crowley and escape his captivity (although he is still apparently trapped in Nick), with the Winchesters' attempts to stop him banishing him to a parallel universe where the Apocalypse took place because Dean and Sam were never born, although Lucifer is confronted by Crowley who kills himself to trap him, he is able to kill Castiel and take Mary with him. While the Winchesters try to 'raise' Lucifer's son Jack- who grew to adulthood immediately after birth-, Jack is able to help Castiel come back to life, but Lucifer remains in the other world and alerts the alternate Michael to his existence, prompting him to fight alt-Michael but he is defeated. While imprisoned, Alt-Michael drains his powers and tells him of his plans to travel to the 'prime' universe to conquer it as well. Faced with this threat, Lucifer uses a ritual performed by Michael to return to his world to warn them about Michael, but Castiel initially disbelieves him before they are captured by Asmodeus though escape. Lucifer takes control of Heaven since there are too few angels to mount an effective resistance to Michael. Later, he abandons it to find his son and has no luck. |
|||
During "Beat the Devil", he drowns his sorrows before he is captured again but by Gabriel and Rowena who survived his attempts on their lives. His grace is used to power the rift and keep it open. Lucifer learns from a taunting Rowena his son is in that world and breaks free. Lucifer's attempt on her life ends up sending him to Apocalypse World where he resurrects Sam who was killed by vampires, having used the grace of Michael's soldiers to refuel himself. He forces Sam to help him form a bond with his son. Lucifer met his son for the first time. |
|||
During "Exodus", Lucifer bonds with Jack and is reluctantly allowed to join the team, revealing that they have thirty-one hours before the rift closes again and killing six attacking angels. During this time, Lucifer's efforts to paint himself in a better light are rebuffed by Gabriel who compares his older brother to a cancer that God had to cut out to protect humanity, but too late. Gabriel's words reduce Lucifer to silent tears. Lucifer later works with Dean to repair an old bus and then drives the bus full of refugees back to the rift. When Michael appears and attacks during the exodus through the rift, Lucifer attacks him, but is easily beaten. Following Gabriel's death at Michael's hands, an injured and weakened Lucifer tries to follow Sam through the rift, but is thrown to the ground by the younger Winchester and abandoned to die. With the rift closed, Lucifer makes a deal with Michael to share the spell to reopen it in exchange for Lucifer getting to take Jack while Michael gets everything else. |
|||
In the season 13 finale "Let the Good Times Roll", Lucifer reappears in the Winchesters' universe and entices Jack to leave for the stars with him. At the request of Jack, Lucifer resurrects his friend Maggie who subsequently identifies Lucifer as her killer. During a confrontation with Michael, Lucifer's deal with the other archangel is revealed as is his murder of Maggie. Lucifer is forced to admit the truth by Jack who rejects his father after seeing his true nature. Enraged, Lucifer absorbs his son's grace to become more powerful than ever. With Lucifer virtually unstoppable and poised to destroy everything, Dean agrees to become the vessel of the alternate Michael on the condition that Michael power him to battle Lucifer. Powered by Michael, Dean battles Lucifer who still proves to be more than a match for Dean. However, as Lucifer tries to smite Dean, Sam is able to toss Dean the Archangel Blade, the one weapon that can kill an archangel. Armed with the blade, Dean is able to finally kill Lucifer by stabbing him in the side. However, in the aftermath of Lucifer's death, Michael betrays his deal with Dean, takes full control of him and disappears. |
|||
In [[Supernatural (season 14)|season 14's]] "Stranger in a Strange Land," Lucifer's vessel Nick is revealed to have survived Lucifer's death. Nick has nightmares and flashbacks to his time as Lucifer's vessel and a slowly healing wound in his side where Lucifer was stabbed. Sam and Mary both have trouble looking at Nick due to his time under Lucifer's control, but he is able to tell Sam that Michael had told Lucifer that he wants to "do it right this time" when discussing his plans for the Winchesters' world. |

Hello, I saw that you used the Wikia page Meta-humans as a source, this source fails the general guidelines because it is a user-generated website (like Wikipedia is), you could use the sources mentioned on Wikia if they're not primary sources themselves (as in written by Warner Brothers) but by websites covering the series in the Flash-Arrowverse as a general media website. --Donald Trung (talk) 20:28, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
I would say you could use Heroic Hollywood and only to a lesser extend Batman-News because the latter is more invest in media related to DC Comics and thus less neutral. --Donald Trung (talk) 20:30, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Dick Grayson, you may be blocked from editing. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:32, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you blank a page, as you did with this edit to Draft:Black Star (character). ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:39, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
The article Black Star (character) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No reliable sources. Not about one subject, but really a disambiguation list for four characters (all questionable).
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:46, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
All of this article is WP:TRIVIA and does not belong in an encyclopedia. If you remember back to December, I requested that you discuss these huge additions before adding them to the article, much less creating a new article. You're also spamming links to List of minor Scooby-Doo characters on pretty much any page you can think of, which comes across as very disruptive. I understand that you may feel these are notable, but when an editor expresses a legitimate concern with your edits, you need to discuss and at least try to come to a consensus. There are also numerous significant typos in your article. I understand that English isn't your first language, but if you feel you are having trouble, you should ask for help. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and ignoring everyone who disagrees with you and doing whatever you want isn't a style of editing that's going to work here. Please either create a discussion or revert your edits, or I will be reporting you to WP:ANI. Regards, Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 18:11, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --Katniss May the odds be ever in your favor ♥ 16:19, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, L. Frank Baum, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so.

Mirror Man (DC Comics) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Mirror Man (DC Comics), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
