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?
Box, Beta Flight, Bedlam?

Cosmic entity-Beyonder
China Force is one of them, right?

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

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.Quote:

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

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

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