The list needs to remain as these ARE appearances by the Midgard Serpent and provide a ready reference for new readers. How else will they find the Serpent's appearances? —The preceding ) 04:46, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Cover
Surely #380, Volume 1 by Walt Simonson is the better cover?

Latest Edits on Midgard Serpent
I'm writing this in response to the edits of User 67.162.108.96. At the risk of sounding hardhearted, they were poor. Incorrect dates, spelling and events that didn't happen all feature. By the by, the original Marvel Tales #105 features four stories : "The Spider Waits!"; "The Man Who Vanished"; "In Little Pieces" and " A Drop of Water". There may be a Midgard Serpent reference I am unaware of, but being Feb. 1952 it is not going to be the Marvel version that came much later.

Notable Aliases is incorrect...
Just a note that this section is incorrect:
Notable aliases World Serpent;Jormungand;Fin Fang Foom
Jormungand is the serpent's name and not an alias. If anything, "Midgard Serpent" is an alias. As the article is titled the way it is, perhaps simply adding a section that says "Real Name: Jormungand" above notable aliases (with Jormungand removed from that section) would suffice?

- I have changed the aliases section as noted above, and added a name section indicating the serpent's name (Jormungand). This change is supported both in Norse Mythology and in various Thor issues (for instance v1#379) as his correct name, while the "Midgard Serpent" refers to what he is. Claiming his name is "Midgard Serpent" would be almost like saying one's dog's name is "Golden Retriever"

Correction regarding time stopping...
I have changed this:
"The presence of the Midgard Serpent on Earth causes time to stop for everything except the two opponents."
to read:
"The presence of the Midgard Serpent on Earth causes time to stop for everything except the two opponents and other mythic creatures."
The term I selected is the one that Walt Simonsen used in the actual comic (v1#379-v1#380). Previously it was inaccurate in that it indicated that only Thor and Jormungand were spared the effect of time stopping, which was not true. At the very least, others from Asgard (and it's related planes of existence) including the Frost Giants were also spared the effect of time stopping.
