We should delete those images.

I'm not a copyright lawyer but I studied American law about fair use when we were discussing about deleting fan art. To claim fair use, image must be as low quality as possible, have an obvious reason why it's needed in an article and should not lessen commercial value of copyrighted material. So our use of high quality images and gallery pages are clearly a copyright infraction but I don't think that's a problem because we are also doing marketing for Marvel and they shouldn't be interested in war against fans. However, handbooks are different thing because we are clearly competing against them providing the same information. So strictly speaking, we shouldn't use any images from handbooks but I'm willing to bet that character images would be okay for Marvel but scans of whole handbook entries are invitation to problems with very little gain.
