With the supporting characters, keep in mind that:

"Fury", by name, never appeared in an episode of either Justice League or Justice League Unlimited. It was a character that "resembled" aspects of the two DC Comics characters.
"Nemesis" did not become a "supporting character" for Wonder Woman until mid 2006, just after JLU had aired its last episode.
"Wonder Girl" is a "best guess/fit" character from a throw away scene.
At best, these are "related" characters in the scope of the JL and JLU shows.

And with the supporting characters, keep in mind that the character of "Cyborgirl" never appeared in a JL or JLU episode.

Presenting the character of Wonder Woman along with the 2 "casts" creates the impression that this article is dealing with "show" even though the characters are supposedly limited to the Justice League/Justice League Unlimited series.

This and Flash (DC animated universe) are the latest two in a recurring "bad content" issue where articles are fabricated in this manner. Frankly, on top of the OR issue, they are an unneeded and ill-advised content fork. We have had a number of like content fork lists and articles come through AfD from this editor, the bulk of which have resulted in the removal of the composite articles. This is becoming disruptive - the discovery of new or additional like "articles" after the last batch has been deleted and having to go through the same presentation that "Yes, it's content fork. Yes, it's a bad fork. And yes it is a carbon copy of already existing material." J Greb (talk) 08:02, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all - Duplicate. Cynof Gavuf 10:08, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - all the information is already in the right place (where the links go) and this serves no purpose other than to confuse. Dozens of similar articles have been deleted and there should be a moratorium on creating any new ones, as all i is doing is wasting everyone's time (those editing them and those coming along behind and deleting them) - there is a clear consensus that they aren't required and are just unnecessary duplication of existing material (without, it is worth noting, any kind of indication which articles the text is lifted from, something that is required).
