 * Three, four maybe. But it's not meant to serve as a disambig, it's more to make sense of things and prevents us from having to add second cousins once removed etc in the Relatives field - that's just confusing.


 * DC Comics and its affiliates have been publishing comics since the thirties. If you make a disambig for characters named John and Michael, you'd end up having to include a lot of one-issue characters, many of whom don't have a surname, and that is just going to get ugly.


 * The search function is what it is now. If it has a page, it should show up. If it doesn't, possibly some of its appearances will show up. But if people read a story and want to learn who something is, they're better off searching for the story, not the character.
