Happy New Year, all...Here's a continuity oddball...
Marrina got her new costume in Alpha Flight #14. This costume featured a more demure look that covered her up to the neck, a new necklace with the central element being her Alpha Flight call signal, and spirally arm thingies. It can be seen here: http://www.alphaflight.net/character_galleries/marrina/marrina_gallery6.jpg .
It lasted all of 1 issue, as it was torn to shreds in #'s 15 and 16 (see http://www.alphaflight.net/character_galleries/marrina/marrina_gallery7.jpg ). When last seen in #16, it was tattered, and the spirally arm thingies were all torn off. That was in late 1984.
Then in Power Pack #'s 9 and 10 in 1985, her next appearance, she's wearing the beautiful new costume (see same link, gallery10.jpg) ! Did she go back to Namor's tailors without him knowing about it? Unstable molecules? Why did it take me 20 years to notice this?
Is this a continuity oddball or am I mistaken? The only theory I can think of is that the more demure look may have been chosen to be more appropriate for the younger age group of the Power Pack readership.
Love,

Note: MTU Ann #7 was in early 1984, so she still had the old costume when fighting The Collector with Spidey.
