So because it's a fictional comic means it could never have happened, even though it DID happen, not nessisarily along the lines of the comic but did happen as a real historical event?
I bet you thought Troy was a fictional movie too.

Ahh, but there are several books that are written by an actual historian, one of my friends has it. He says it's fairly accurate, but of course Frank Miller took some liberties with the story.

"I'm sorry Clockwork dear, but it doesn't work that way for women."
Pamela gave a naughty grin and sat on Edge's back. "TIE A YELLOW RIBBON, 'ROUND THE OLD OOOOOOAAAKKK TREEEEEEEE! IT'S BEEN THREE LONG YEARS, DO YOU STILL WANT MEEEEEE?!!" She patted his head. "Come on Edward, darling sing with me!"
Me: Make him clean up his own wounds Leo!

The events that the comic is based on happened. But nothing that happened in the comic actually happened in real life. There was a war, maybe there was even enough research that some of the strategies that were interpreted for the comic were feasible, but to say, looking at the illustrations in the comic or the scenes from the movie, that what you're looking at is what it really looked like is just ridiculous.
Someone took the historical story that recounted the Battle of Thermopylae and filled in all the many blank spaces with their own interpretations, put that in a screen play, then decades down the line someone else thought this was so cool and made their own version of it.
The point is, the event happened. The COMIC did not. Nor did the movies.
:: That's the thing about historical accuracy. When people say something is 'historically accurate' that doesn't mean that the events are accurate to what actually occured, it means that the way the events are described MIGHT be the way those things could have occured. It only means there's no one to say that it didn't happen that way. I'm not saying it's historically inaccurate, I'm only saying that you can't base a historical argument on 300. You wouldn't cite 300 in a report on the Battle of Thermopylae unless you were showing the effect the event had on pop culture.
300 is a work of fiction.

Glad we cleared that up, Stray. So Leonidas' body will be returning because Stray himself admited that Thermopylae had happened and Leonidas was a real person who faught in it. Good.
Edge threw more bladed weaponry even Kitana's flashlight at Ivy.
Leonidas crossed his arms "he'll do it just fine, besides I'm a ghost in this form, I wouldn't be able to help him if I wanted to. Unless he puts my helmet on and allows me to take control.
Killer Dinocro splashed around in the chat's pool "RAWR!!!!"

It doesn't really matter anyway because my whole argument was about whether the 'real' Leonidas would have any effect on anyone.
But Slag said that it doesn't really matter. I had been under the impression that the rings sought people to whom others would have a strong emotional reaction. Since that's not the case, it doesn't matter that the 'real' Leonidas has no relevance in today's society outside of the fictional works about his life. Well, death.
"But of course, you'd be the expert on being half a century older than you look? When did your accident take place? A decade ago, maybe? You're not even old enough to need eternal youth to make you look young."

Tom's attributes are coded into his genetic structure too. Does that mean he'd keep his powers?
Powers themselves are rather loosely defined. I tried to make sense of it before, but reading Kitana's post just now made me realize I still don't have a grasp on it.
And don't act like it's so obvious, Eric! Unless you can come up with an explanation it's not so easy.
