Comic Book Urban Legends
The Comics Should Be Good blog is creating a database of comic book urban legends. I don't recognize all the names and characters referred to, but it makes for interesting reading anyway. Here's a few samples (full explanations for all of these at Comics Should Be Good):
Wolverine's costume was patterned in part on the uniforms of the Michigan Wolverines football team. (False)
Joker was originally killed off in his SECOND appearance! (True)
Wolverine was initially intended to be a genetically mutated wolverine. (True)
Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston invented the polygraph test! (False)
Marvel Comics licenses the use of the name "Hulk" to Hulk Hogan. (False, now... but it used to be true)
Marvel HAS to publish a Captain Marvel comic book. (For all intents and purposes, True)
DC had a Superman storyline set during the Holocaust that did not mention the word "Jew" or "Jewish." (True)
Nicolas Cage took his last name from Luke Cage, Hero For Hire. (True, depending on when you talk to Nicolas Cage)

you mean william molton marston DIDNT invent the polygraph test??? ive read in several books that he did... and it used to be such an interesting "strange but true" fact

It appears that William Molton Marston actually invented specifically the notion of testing systolic blood pressure to detect deception, which became a component of the polygraph test which was invented by John A Larson.

The polygraph machine was invented by a genetically mutated wolverine who's last name was Cage, who was killed on his second appearance by Hulk Hogan durring the Holocaust.

Funny you should say that Zoe, Wolverine's first appearance was on the last page of The Incredible Hulk #180.

Now, now Zoe, dont go making fun of the guy who is The Best At What He Does, But What He Does Does Is Not Very Nice. I'd have to kill you if you did that in excess.

So Steve Englehart was John Harkness! That explained a lot.
