So I apologize for the multiple posts on your wall here lately, but I have another question somewhat related to the above. Do we consider PSA issues to be canon, or at least centered in the Mainstream Marvel universe? Three main issues that pop to mind are Amazing Spider-Man vs. The Prodigy (about unprotecteed sex and pregnancy among teens), Captain America Meets the Asthma Monster and it's sequel The Return of the Asthma Monster (asthma awareness, obviously, although the sequel has no article yet) and Spider-Man/Power Pack #1 (child molestation).

We have no articles on characters unique to these particular issues except for a tiny page named Allergen Al (Earth-Glaxo Inc) for one of the henchmen villians in Return of the Asthma Monster. The Appendix has profiles on Al and the rest of Return of the Asthma Monster's villians, and for Skip Westcott, who is apparently the man that molested a young middle school Spider-Man in Spider-Man/Power Pack. All of these characters are apparently unique to their respective PSA issues (except for Westcott, whom the Appendix notes is mentioned by Spidey in another issue, which is not named in the entry).

Just because things can't be simple, another PSA, Heroes for Hope starring the X-Men has it's villian, "Hungry", listed in an Earth-616 article, and the issue is counted in Magneto's chronological appearances order. So should these be mainstream reality characters, TRN characters, or no Universe at all? Again, opinions would be appreciated.
