The Naming Debate

I'm liking Metal Mimicry or Metal Emulation. Any thoughts? Seb.gwirionyn 22:57, 10 November 2008 (EST)

• Metallic skin? Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:58, 10 November 2008 (EST)
  • That implies his skin is permanently metallic though... He obviously triggered it somehow. Seb.gwirionyn 23:01, 10 November 2008 (EST)
  • Metal mimicry, to match Water mimicry, since they're essentially the same ability.--Riddler 23:02, 10 November 2008 (EST)
    • Touche. Then I'd be willing to go with what you suggested, metal mimicry. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 23:03, 10 November 2008 (EST)
• By the way, the man in question isn't homeless, and his name is Danny Pine. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:03, 10 November 2008 (EST)
  • I didn't hear the name clearly when I watched, so I didn't question it, but if we use a name, that doesn't matter except for where it needs to be filled in. =P--Riddler 23:04, 10 November 2008 (EST)
    • Thanks for the name. Thompson mutters too bloody much. Still, is everyone cool with Metal Mimicry? I don't want to move the page without a consensus or some Admin may slaughter me in my sleep.Seb.gwirionyn 23:15, 10 November 2008 (EST)
      • I don't have any objections to "metal mimicry" (though it should be lowercase, not uppercase). And I only slaughter when people are awake. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:30, 10 November 2008 (EST)
        • Haha. :P But yeah, are we set on metal mimicry then? Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 23:31, 10 November 2008 (EST)
    • Well, if this helps, I was trying to find this ability because it isnt linked to any pages I know of yet, and I instinctivly typed METAL MIMICRY. :) --Action Figure 23:37, 10 November 2008 (EST)
