| ==Proposed Merger==
The two articles should definitely be merged. The Shad article has more information about Black Shadow's other identities, though leaving out the prominent No Dice. The Black Shadow article has a more fleshed out description/explanation of Black Shadow's abilities. Overall I prefer the Shad article's in depth approach to the entry. I would err on the side of retitling the Shad article as "Black Shadow(Wild Cards)" and including the shorter article's description of Black Shadow's abilities. Also, the master list of WC characters would have to be amended. Though I prefer the Shad article's in depth treatment, both articles lack information such as the trigger for Black Shadow's ace abilities and his shortlived career as a hero which both occurred prior to 1976. There is no mention of indentifying marks such as his tracheotomy scar or the CBS eye logo carved into his shoulder by two criminals who abducted him as a youth. Also, Shad (as he called himself by this point in his career) did much more than "interact" with the jokers upon the Rox. To that end, I plan on updating this particular passage. Really, the whole entry could be expanded, which I would be glad to help with. Until such time as the merger is resolved I'll probably include any updates to the Shad entry, though it would be more appropriately titled Black Shadow as that is the name he is better known by.
