Yeah, I've been meaning to clean up external links, but without a good bot script, it's going to have to happen manually.

Basically, they're a relic of the early days, when content was largely copied from other places to serve as padding. That's why the links are old - nobody cared enough to updated.

ComicVine should also be removed/not be added. Comicbookdb and comics.org are a bit different, as those are primarily indexing sites and do not have character profiles.

Those Who Ride The Lightning and Titans Tower are early, pre-Wikia, sites that the early editors liked. There isn't really a concensus on what to do with them. They're still good in terms of content, and I don't know what other admins think of them.
