Does that Wellstone! man have anything to do with anything? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.44.115.14 (talk • contribs) 11:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC).

Uh, no. That was inserted by a long-term vandal. 16:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Juvenilia

I've removed the following:

Hephaestus appears in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Hawk and Dove"; he is voiced by Ed Asner. In the episode, Hephaestus builds the Annihilator, a heavy-armored automaton which is fueled by rage. He sells it to Ares, who uses it to start a civil war in a third world country.

Hephaestus is mentioned in the webcomic Questionable Content in the comic titled "Number 547: Mythology".

In the computer game Diablo II, there is a unique foe guarding the "Hellforge" located in the River of Flame, which the character must defeat in order to progress with a side-quest. The demon is named Hephasto, which has possible relevance to the God Hephaestus.

In the anime Digimon one of Zudomon's attacks was called Vulcan's Hammer.

It all seemed too trivial. Still, I'm aware that I'm less than averagely bewitched by the charms of anime, etc. -- Hoary 22:32, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Aye, the point that seems to pass over many heads is that a little acquaintance with Hephaestus may explain some characters and details in these market-driven productions, and so a link is relevant there, but that the converse is not true. It depends partly in understanding converse, I suppose. --Wetman 10:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

If BioShock is worth a mention I think the Soulcalibur games are deffinitly worth one.81.227.124.234 21:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Concern regarding portrait

While it is acknowledged that many forms of artwork regarding this period of history do not have the prohibition on nudity, there may be a reasoning for replacing the portrait due to potential issues regarding age appropriateness. I leave it up to the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Greece and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Mythology groups to make the final call on this as I am a newly "born" wikipedian Hasteur 05:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC) idc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.124.225.130 (talk) 17:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Article Flow

Sorry if I'm stepping on toes, but I just wanted to point out that the paragraph about Hephaestus getting revenge against Hera is repeated, once in the introduction and once about his birth. I thought that to be unnecessary.

Also, the introduction section holds other unnecessary information, such as his attempted rape of Athena. A double spacing makes me assume that this may have been moved from another section of the article.

Whilst not confidant enough to alter these myself, I thought I would bring it to the attention of someone who is. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.208.81.200 (talk) 10:38, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
