Applied Epistemology

Wikipedists can occasionally hit the right tone of dry understatement, as in the entry for Marvel Comics' Man-Thing:

"Anyone clutched by the Man-Thing is prone to be chemically acid-burned, hence the series' tag-line, "Whatever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch." Though fear is understandably most people's response to the creature, typically only villains end up meeting an acidic death at its hands."

and

"The stories introduced a large supporting cast, including the demon Thog, the benevolent sorcerer Dakimh, and several humans who became allies of Dakimh and the Man-Thing, thus circumventing the difficulty of having a protagonist with no mind and no goals."

Ah, Steve Gerber -- the mind that created Howard the Duck and Thundarr the Barbarian.
