So I tried to find a well-edited Beatles site that might give me a clue, and I checked the <cite>Britannica<\/cite> article about the Beatles, but wasn't finding anything really convincing.  But then I finally remembered to look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.press.uchicago.edu\/Misc\/Chicago\/cmosfaq\/cmosfaq.html\"><cite>Chicago<\/cite> FAQ<\/a>&#8212;and there, right in the middle of the main page, is the answer to my question, in as much detail as I could want, given clearly and sensibly and even entertainingly.<\/p>\n<p>They didn't answer my other question, which is whether to capitalize <i>the<\/i> in superhero names, but I think the analogy to band names is strong enough to suggest that the same rule applies.<\/p>\n<p>The <cite>Chicago<\/cite> editors are among my role models.
