Well, it seems like you two finished the debate before I even arrived. I'm going to throw out a couple quick links here: this guy, plus this deletion saga. Now, I'm going to highlight a few quotes I believe are salient:

"So, I had to weigh this being disrespectful vs. whether or not there was a clear basis to delete this. In the end it's just so stupid that I sided with deleting it." - Brandon

"I put it up for a deletion discussion because, as I said the first time we had a deletion discussion on a Columbine-inspired article, we don't have a "Don't offend people" clause in the content policy, so there should be a community consensus on this." - Brandon

"all subsequent users with articles based on previously deleted subjects should be treated as its own individual situation. You can tastefully base things off real life if you're subtle and not shameless." - Brandon

"This doesn't need a policy. Let's avoid instruction creep on this one, we have a deletion page for a reason." - Brandon

"Copying an article from Wikipedia without noting it with the appropriate template violates copyright. Additionally, arguing that you should be allowed to write it because of your history is against the equality policy—no such excuses may result in the suspension of policy enforcement. And regarding the discussion above: what if I pasted the 9/11 article from Wikipedia, rewrote it to say that a Sith group crashed two freighters into a Coruscanti twin offcie building, and then claim that I can do this cos' I'm in the USA and cite US federal law? Policies are not to be taken word by word: that is wikilawyering. Taking a peek at the article: it is still full of OOU elements. If someone does not have the talent to write an article about a subject—I can't write a good character article, for example—, then the user should contact others for help instead of directly adopting the scenario of a real-world historical event, copying the biography of a person or anything like that." - TK-999

Wow. That's a lot of quotes to read. Sorry guys. My point is, given the fact that the information is directly copy-pasted from the Wikipedia article, I think we have plenty of grounds to delete it. That said, I'm going to put it up for a deletion vote and leave the user a message (in a little bit, gotta run now). (While not particularly relevant to the overall direction of this conversation, it could also be deleted on the grounds of crossover with the X-Men stuff.)
