Don't feel bad, KM. I had four days off work, and i spent them in front of the computer and the DVD player. Can't say i accomplished anything of real worth...

Not meaning to chastise. I just wondered if it had slipped past the normally eagle-eyed readers here.Quote:

Major Mapleleaf Jr has an entry, but watch for the nanotech scorpions... yeah, I'm just still, uh, no. Anyway, we already covered that topic.
Also, you can see Zombie Guardian in the entry for Marvel Zombies.
The Master has an entry, too.
The recent events in X-Infernus are mentioned briefly in Magik's entry, so Witchfire gets a shout out, no images, but hey, nice touch.

Oh, I discovered a Puck cameo as well... in Magneto's entry, one of the illustrations is a portion of the cover for Alpha Flight #33:

Nemesis - OK this isn't really an appearance but the tip of her middle finger appears in the illustration for Mar in the Plodex entry :)
Radius- has a 1/2 pg entry
Aurora- appears in Sabretooth's entry, an image taken from the cover of X-Men #188
In the Puck entry, there is an illustration with parts of Heather, Shaman, Talismanand Wildheart from AF# 127.

I see they mentioned that Puck's durability weakened over time, anyone remember that talk we had in this thread? Hmmm...
Yes. Which is why the entry got modified. We listen to feedback. Leaving him at the higher level wasn't an option, as we checked with Steve Seagle who confirmed that Puck's superhuman power levels had faded by the time of that incarnation of Alpha Flight. It might not be the answer you wanted to hear, but you can take some solace that we haven't overlooked Puck's old power level and that we did listen to the feedback.Quote:

Now what about Sasquatch? :?
His entry is in the next volume. :wink:Quote:

Solicit from Marvel
He's on the page, "Miscellaneous Pets", bleh, he should have had his own entry, but that's OK. You can see part of MMLJR's arm, too. Interestingly, he's one of FOUR Thunders in the Handbook: there were three other steeds from Western-themed comics in the 50s and 60s.
You can see Marrina, Northstar, Aurora and Sasquatch in a small inset from Marvel Team-Up Annual #7 in the entry for The Collector's Pets.

Volume 10 has Sasquatch on the cover!
And entries for
Sasquatch 3pg with images also of Heather and Mac in battle armor
Shaman 2pg with images also of Northstar and Heather
Snowbird 2pg with an image of Sasquatch
Also, in the entry for Secret Defenders, Northstar has a head shot.
In Sasquatch's entry there's an odd mention of the events in Cat's Paw, the Alpha Flight module from the TSR Marvel Super-Heroes RPG, as if it were in continuity. Strange. I asked the writers about it on the official forum, I wonder what's up with that?
Love,

Gah! Got to get this
So what did they say about Walter's strength is he still listed class 70?
As Sasquatch, he possesses enhanced senses, superhuman durability, strength (lifting 90 tons) and regenerative abilities. He has occasionally demonstrated significantly greater strength, possibly via unconsciously and dangerously drawing on Tanaraq’s power.Quote:
