ALL-NEW OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE: A TO Z #2

[skullogeist]

On sale today, the second issue of the 12-issue 2006 Handbook series contains profiles on characters from Benny Beckley to Crazy Eight.

The book features 3 Alpha Flight-related profiles:

One was a member of Alpha Flight;

One is a team that first appeared in ALPHA FLIGHT in 1988;

And one is a cosmic entity who battled Alpha Flight in 1984.

Any guesses?

[maniac mike]

China Force is one of them, right?

MM :?

They did appear in 1988, so I think that;s right

Beyonder is probally the cosmic one.

[maniac mike]

I also know question #1 is... CENTENNIAL!

MM :wink:

You did -- but there is more than one Bedlam in the Marvel Universe . . . and the one from ALPHA FLIGHT (vol. I) #52-53 isn't the one that the solicits were talking about.

[skullogeist]

China Force is one of them, right?

MM :?

1/1!

MM :wink:

2/2!

[skullogeist]

Beyonder is probally the cosmic one.

Nope.

Hint: He's an Elder of the Universe who battled Alpha Flight, but not in their own book . . .

We have a winner!

MM :wink:

2/2!

Wow they actually gave him an entry? Well I'm going to go pick it up now, I wonder how his stats are.

Centennial
Intelligence: 2/7
Strength: 4/7
Speed: 2/7
Durability: 3/7
Energy Projection: 1/7
Fighting Skills: 6/7

[maniac mike]

I wouldn't be surprised if Major Mapleleaf II (w/ Thunder), Mar and Yukon Jack all get entries since Nemesis and Puck II were in OHOTMU "Women of Marvel".

MM :wink:

[MistressMerr]

A 6 for fighting skills? Day-amn! :D

I wonder why Aurora wasn't in the Women of Marvel one.

[-K-M-]

I wonder why Aurora wasn't in the Women of Marvel one.

Yeah she is pretty well known. I was dissapointed that Talisman wasn't in it either.

[Ben]

I'm pretty sure it was just characters that were getting significant use at that time.

Centennial
Intelligence: 2/7
Strength: 4/7
Speed: 2/7
Durability: 3/7
Energy Projection: 1/7
Fighting Skills: 6/7

Actually, that looks like a printing error. I think the stats for Crazy Eight (the profile below) were inadvertently duplicated in the Centennial profile.

I thought his strength and durability seemed low.

There are a bunch in there that I can't of anything they were in at that time, and Aurora was appearing in Weapon X. Hurm.

The Energy Projection stat is what tipped me off. Anyone with heat vision must have higher than a "1."

Hey Skullogeist, you forgot to mention that AF also has a small part in the "BUG" entry during their trip into the Microverse.
