Schrödinger is feline[edit]

The Dark Horse edition is mistranslated, he has never been referred to as a werewolf (wolfman). He, along with most Millennium personnel, is a Werwolf officer. This is written phonetically in Japanese with katakana, as ヴェアヴォルフ (veavorufu). He is not a "werewolf" in the literal sense. The Captain is a werewolf/狼男 (ookami otoko) - the only one in the series. The translator apparently did not understand the difference between the two words and wrote it as "verevolf" (werewolf), which is incorrect. Werwolf is a loanword in both English and Japanese when used in the context of the guerilla group, and when rendered as "werewolf" it loses its meaning. Schrödinger is named after Erwin Schrödinger and his "Schrödinger's Cat" thought experiment. He has cat ears, and even said "Miauen!" (meow in German) in chapter 84 - Warcraft (2). It is evident from simply reading the series that he can teleport and be anywhere he wants. He magically appears and disappears at Hellsing manor and then reappears on a zeppelin in Brazil in "the time it took [the Major] to walk down the hallway". He appeared inside Zorin's mind. He got his head shot off by Integra in chapter 77 and reappeared minutes later (in the story's timeframe) in chapter 84 on top of a building. Omnipresence/teleportation is Schrödinger's primary and most noticeable ability. Schrödinger 18:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article says "Hirano identifies Schrodinger as a catboy." It needs a cite since it names a source (Hirano). I'm not saying I doubt he is a catboy, it just needs a source. Sources are good. The story hasn't said how he is "everywhere and nowhere", this is pure speculation. --Phirazo 23:15, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to find out, I think it was at a convention from last summer. Schrödinger 23:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did hear that, I think it was an American con (Otakon maybe?) Unfortunately, I saw it on a forum somewhere, and I'll have to see if I can find a reliable source. I also put in "Schrödinger himself mysteriously states that he is "everywhere and nowhere."" which doesn't theorize on how he teleports, but still gets the idea across. --Phirazo 23:12, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Schrodinger is also known as a trap. Because of his girlish attitude and looks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.230.227 (talk) 22:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While still on this feline subject, I'm getting Cheshire cat associations on Schrödinger. Both could dis/reappear at will, were seemingly omnipresent, both were supposed to have been executed (Schrödinger by a headshot, Cheshire by decapitation) but somehow "got away", so to speak... And the prepetual smile that both carry is almost too big a coincidence to be just a coincidence, but I'll ask anyway, do you think this is intentional and that Schrödinger is a nod at Lewis Carroll's cat? 81.228.148.16 (talk) 17:04, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
