Re: Turner D. Century

More incorrect than correct. He's Clifford Michaels who first appeared in Spider-Woman #33. He actually does have a specialized bicycle but he uses it for flight. Etc.

Re: Turner D. Century

No mention of his death by Scourge at the Bar with No Name massacre, or of his resurrection by the Hood along with 17 other previous victims of Scourge.  Or of the fact that, somehow, he's one of only 5 or so of those resurrected victims who haven't been killed again (last I checked, I could be wrong).

I've noticed that in most cases where the subject of a profile was killed (even if they were subsequently resurrected), ChatGPT doesn't mention it, perhaps to avoid spoilers. The only instance that I recall it mentioned was Gwen Stacy.
