Alpha will make it into all the volumes, because there's pretty much at least one pre-existing Alpha related entry needing the hardcover update treatment for each letter of the Alphabet (bar Q, X and Z, none of which will fill an entire 240 page volume). M - Master of the World and Marrina. N - Northstar. O - Omega Flight. P - Puck (both of them). R - Radius. S - Snowbird, Shaman, Sasquatch. T - Talisman. U - USAgent (yeah, I know that's a stretch), V - Vindicator, W - Windshear, Y - Yukon Jack.Quote:

I keep the dust jackets in a separate box while I read the hardcovers, and so they get their own bag and board. I really try to keep these covers intact!

Just got Vol. 7 yesterday and it had Major Mapleleaf (Sadler Jr.), Master of the World & Mauvais, but for some strange reason Marrina wasn't in it?
Hopefully Loki can let us know what happened.
I wasn't expecting an entry for Marrina. She hasn't been covered in recent handbooks, and it wasn't likely for her to get a new entry...
She really should have had an entry in a previous incarnation in this series, IMHO, but considering she's been AWOL for so long, with no change, I can sort of understand this omission.
In the Plodex entry, expect to see Marrina and Mar at least in the illustrations, as they were shown in issue #8 of the A-Z series.
I can't explain why Loki listed her for this issue, except maybe he was looking at an alphabetical list somewhere and forgot that Marrina hasn't had an entry recently to be included in the HC book.

Where the Major Mapleleaf (Sadler Jr.), Master of the World & Mauvais entries any different then the previous ones?
On Marrina, that's exactly what happened. Apologies, I had it in my head that we'd covered her back in the 2004 books, in either the Book of the Dead or Women of Marvel.Quote:

Since none of them have reappeared since their last Handbook entries, there wasn't much new to add, so it was more improving on the prior coverage.Quote:

Proof that she's alive. Bubbles!

I know she is alive - but then so are half the members of each and every past Book of the Dead. If you check the Master of the World's revised text (revisions I made), you'll see it mentions that she is alive a couple of times.Quote:
