Truth and nothing but truth.Is Colossus a level 6(75-100)tons or a level 7 Incalucable(excess of 100 tons)?

Blue Hulk?
I think I remember reading an issue of Hulk featuring a Blue Hulk. I was wondering what issue this is

Ezio Auditore da Londra 11:00, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * For a time, there was a one-page back-up feature in Hulk Vol 2 that featured cartoonish green, red, and blue Hulks. Aside from that, could you be thinking of A-Bomb (though that seems less likely).

Civil War.
I've recently been getting into marvel, and am new to this site. I want to read the Civil War story line. I was wondering if I would be lost trying to read it without being up to date in the stories of the heroes that are involved in it. I know their basic story lines, and, for some people, the details of their story early on, but not really anything recent.

Also, is this the correct and complete story line?: http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/0785121781/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326260118&sr=8-1

Thank you.

TheBaconMan 05:45, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is the correct volume for that storyline. And, really, Civil War was a good self-contained story on its own. There were no major plot points carried out in other books (with the POSSIBLE exceptions of Civil War: The Return Vol 1 1 and Iron Man/Captain America: Casualties of War #1, one of which explained the "return" of Captain Marvel (if you care) and the other did a much more detailed explanation of the philosophies behind Captain America and Iron Man's viewpoints. But neither is remotely necessary to understand the plot or events.

Please stop cheating Colossus
What is Colossus's Strength Class? Before he came the new Juggernaut,you said he was a Class 100.A Class100 means a character can lift 100 tons or more over their heads.I have the latest official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol.2 and it even says he's a Class100.Now your'e saying he can lift 70 tons,when he was a teenager he can only lift 40 tons.When Colossus was only a teenager,he was capable of knocking down the Juggernaut and if he was only liting 40 tons at that time,he wouldn't be able to do that to Juggernaut.Colossus is one of my favorite characters(Next to the Hulk)and never trully gets his just due.So my freinds I am asking you,Please stop cheating Colossus

darrin_weddle@yahoo.com 20:44, February 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * "We" are not "cheating" Colossus. His strength level is taken directly from printed comics, not from opinions.


 * As you said yourself, things change. You can't take what was previously said about a character to remain absolute truth for them for their entire publication history.  If that were true, Spider-Man would never have gained organic web shooters for awhile...

Marvel's Big 3
Why exactly are Iron Man (Tony Stark), Thor, and Captain America (Steve Rogers) called the big 3, why do they "stick out" from the rest of the hero community? Tony Yinsen 21:53, February 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd argue that they're not even Marvel's Big 3. Spider-Man and Wolverine sell more books and are vastly more popular than Thor and Captain America.  Tony may slip into the third place, but Hulk has a strong following too.


 * You could argue that those three characters are natural leaders and characters who have changed the face of Earth in one way or another.

Looking for an Alternate universe spiderman title....
I think it came out in the mid to late 90s but i can't remember the actual title of the comic. i simply remember the cover of one of the issues. It was jungle foliage surrounding a golden scepter/totem with the head being shaped like a spider. i'm fairly certain that it was a marvel comic but under a different name.

Utgard-Loki in Marvel Comics
I am looking for a specific Comic. I'm not sure if it was in, "The Mighty Thor", series or was a special in some other publication. The story contained Thor, Loki and Thjalfi and their journey into Jotunheim and encounter with the Jotun Utgard-Loki. This would have been published in the late 60's or early 70's. I appreciate any information anyone can provide. This site says that the tale was published in 1978 but that is far too late for the original I'm looking for.

Spence the Elder


 * hey there - i can only confirm what the site says, i checked other sources: Utgard-Loki's first appearance was in 1978. It is of course possible, that he went unnamed in the issue in question, in which case it might not appear in his appearances. But I can pretty much guarantee you that it couldn't have been before 1974, since I have recently gone thruogh all those issues again and the story doesn't ring a bell. Do you have any further info you might remember?--edkaufman (talk) 08:46, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

 * 22:38, April 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, yes, Hulk was separated from Bruce, or so it seems for the moment.


 * The reason they're not separate pages is that it is a passing trend. We don't want to have to separate the characters for a few months until they're pooled back together and we have to recreate the original page.


 * Too much work!

Misplaced
Yeah, I was looking at the Steve Rogers/Captain America pages, and noticed that the one from 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' was listed under 'Wolverine and The X-Men', so I looked at the other Avengers' pages, and noticed the same thing, all of them were listed under the wrong heading. Just thought I should bring it up, so someone can fix it.


 * Apparently those two shows take place in the same universe. The name of that universe needs to be corrected to include both shows...

Starting point for a new reader
Hi, I've never read any Marvel Comics and I feel this is really a good time to start. I'd like to follow all the well-known major stories (Spider-Man, X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Avengers as the whole...). What would you recommend me to start reading so I can catch up with all the major events in these comics? Oh, and I don't care about the whole Ultimate storylines, I'd like to get into the primary canon. Thanks, Arutha

Arutha 21:08, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Well, Arutha, a good method might be to check out the new X-men Vs Avengers story, see what characters interest you, and look for their respective titles, and start following, Sometimes following a big story can tell you about major characters. By the way: Don't get discouraged by past years of continuity if you get interested in an older character, just jump in, learn from now and gradually find out more about the character, whether using this database or reading older comics. Also, if you're interested in the past few major events, look around for trade paper backs or graphic novels docuimenting the event, like Civil War, and others. Anway I hope this advice helps, and isn't too confusing, enjoy the reading, and God Bless! Tony Yinsen 05:11, March 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, any Marvel title which has a .1 after its number like this one or this one are good jumping on points. The .1 means a major story arc has started and they are doing a fill in issue before they start the next arc. They are stand alone stories which are good for introducing new people.

Spidermanfan1945 20:54, March 20, 2012 (UTC)i was looking through the comics section of my local library, ( yes, i live in a VERY small town!!!), and found and interesting comic. it was a Transeformers comic and the cover was a bad butt picture of Black Suited Spider Man webbing up Megatron. i dont remember much about it, couse this was several months back, before i was realy getting into comics, but for some reason Spider Man was in some town and he met one of the Autobots. He become freinds with them and helped fight off a Decepticon invasion. at the end, the Autobot Spider Man had been freinds with was killed, and Spider Man gouse home. i was wondering two things: were the Transformers comics Marvel comics, and is that comic worth enything?20:54, March 20, 2012 (UTC)

New Nova
Who is the Nova that warns about the Phoenix coming back to Earth? I thought Nova had died recently. I was reading about him and the Nova Corps. The symbols on his uniform showed that he was the Nova Centurion-Prime, but this new Nova has the same symbols. So did he actually not end up dying, is it the new top Nova, or is it just a random Nova with the wrong symbols drawn on?

S-Man-X-Men6 22:54, March 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * He's since been revealed as Sam Alexander, a new Nova. His rank within the Corps has never been revealed (that I'm aware of), likely because most people don't remember that there even ARE ranks within the Corps.

Missing(?)
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask (or note) this, but I have recently started reading comics with the help of the "Chronological Appearances'" part on the Appearances section of the character pages... but I have just noticed that Scarlet Witch has no such section; it only lists the issues it has been without apparent order. Even more, I'm pretty sure it was there a couple of days ago, so I was wondering if a more wiki-savvy person could take a look.

Thanks in advance!

Malaphor 19:26, April 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * hey there, the auto-order only works up to a certain number of appearances, it's possible that she's above that. Thre's a website, the Marvel Chronology Project that keeps chronological listings for most major characters, but it hasn't been updated since House of M, as far as I can tell. I hopenthat helpsna little... :-edkaufman (talk) 21:03, April 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, that's...quite disappointing. I don't know how many people use the Appearances' section to wade through the comics in order to follow a character, but it can't be just me. All in all, the older ones could be either managed as "packages" or something in order to make space for the more recent and supposedly more relevant issues? I'm rambling of course, because I have no idea of how to do so myself.


 * Funny though, I tried to check on Spider-Man's appearances and the whole thing just crashed on me. And then it logged me off.


 * Malaphor 22:44, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Spidermanfan1945 22:30, April 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Earth-616 is the place were all the marvel universe main continuity stories take place. Each time you see a story that occurs outside that continuity then it is a different earth, there is no way to say how many they are and they are probably infinite since every time an alterante reality is shown even if it is only in a single panel then it is a different earth. Differences can be small or big, it depends on each place. --Pencho15 18:48, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Naming earths
Hi, I was wondering how can I know wich name to put to a different earth. In many comics there are several different universes or alternate realities, most of them only appear on a single pannel in one comic and are never identified with a name, however they all receive a page in the wiki and a number identifying them. How can I know wich number to give to a new earth if I want to create a new page? Thanks. --Pencho15 18:52, April 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * If the reality hasn't been listed in a Handbook, we generally use a Temporary Reality Number (the realities you see with "TRN" in them), which helps us to separate the ones that aren't official from the ones that are. Check out the full list of those realities at Category:Temporary Reality Numbers.

Pre-Schism
How did the X-Men know "something terrible" is coming before Schism?? At the beginning of Prelude to Schism #1 everybody's already talking about the unknown threat coming to Utopia... but I think I missed the issue in which they were alerted of this threat? any help? thnks!

RobertoDaCosta 22:59, April 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, ever since Hope's return from the future, there had been hints of the Phoenix (very clear one at the end of Second Coming, I believe it was Second Coming #2, with her exhibiting a Phoenix aura). Given the X-Men's history with the Phoenix, they likely assumed it to be a threat (and Avengers vs. X-Men would sort of confirm that...or at least lean in that direction) and were referring to it.
 * --GrnMarvl14 00:53, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * So all that stuff about that "big decision" of either stay & fight or get away safely, was because they thought the Phoenix was coming??? but the bad thing coming in Schism was the new Hellfire CLub and the Sentinel attack, right???

 * I'm with you Roberto. The Prelude series was very disappointing. I was also confused about what threat they were talking about. It seemed like a cheap setup for the Schism event and the team splitting up. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on that series.
 * Artful Dodger 17:05, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * The Prelude series took place between the panels of X-Men: Schism, and yes, it was the Sentinel attack they were fearing (remember, there were Sentinels being bought and deployed by almost every world government). Personally, I liked the series as far as character pieces go (they did a great job of exploring the mindsets of Cyclops, Xavier, Magneto, and Wolverine. Some more than others), but I'd agree it wasn't the greatest overall plot. And sorry for misreading your post. Was thinking you were referring to something else.

Comic links in Disambiguation Pages
What is it that decides what the comic link is for universes on disambiguation pages?

Ex: 'A character from 1610 has the desciption "Ultimate" above the universe designation (Earth-1610) on a disambiguation page. When you click on "Ultimate", it leads to .'

One some universes it's the wrong link. Like with Earth-8342 for "Aging Captain America fought Red Skull". Instead of the link being, it's "W? Vol 1 38". Or with Earth-20476 ("Banner not Hulk, Jones Killed"). Instead of, it's "Incredible Hulk Vol 2 204" (which doesn't exist).

And for some universes (like Earth-33124), there is no description.

Katemarieperez 10:15, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

He was born July 4, 1922 (he'd be 90 this year). He was in Operation: Rebirth, and got the serum in 1941. When he was frozen sometimes varies in different stories, but generally, it happened in 1944. Also,it is believed that do to the serum giving him very healthy cells, his aging is a lot slower that that of a normal person, so he wouldn't look his age, or be held back by his age (whether frozen or not).

Spider-Man: Hobgoblin Lives
Hey, I've been searching for a 3 issue story featuring Hobgoblin and Green Goblin where they fight. At first I read it was in Spectacular Spider-Man, but I couldn't find it. After searching in other series and around, I finally found the Spider-Man Hobgoblin Lives miniseries, written and drawn by Roger Stern and Ron Frenz, who were the ones who did the story I'm looking for. On the pages for the issues on the wiki here though, the Green Goblin is not listed as a character, nor is Norman Osborn. I just want to make sure these are actually the issues I'm looking for before I go out trying to collect them.

Where do I start?
I'm pretty new to comic books and the like, and I am in need of help of trying to make sense of all the marvel stuff. I read a recent volume of Iron-Man, the five nightmares thing. And I'm guessing there is a lot of stuff that has happened, due to Thor and Iron-Man having a really awkward moment standoff(ish) moment and Tony Stark being the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Can I get some help? And maybe a baseline to start from?

LastKaz3ar 18:40, June 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * They're all separate Earths. In the Noir universe, the heroes were born about fifty years earlier, and while 2099 may have originally been intended as a future Earth-616, events on Earth-616 have changed drastically, so much so that they don't remotely match up with the past events of the 2099 universe (Earth-928).

Episode Template Help
Hi all,

I've noticed that something's wrong with the code for episode templates, resulting in a mess under the Previous & Next Episode categories in the infobox (as seen here []). Through simple trial and error, I've figured out a simple way to fix the mistake: just click edit and then publish, you don't even need to make an actual edit. However, this strategy doesn't seem to work on the Ant-Man & Wasp Micro Episodes that preceded Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, in fact it makes it worse []. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Namor's Powers-Mutant?
Okay, so I was trying to figure out why exactly Namor is considered a mutant. I was reading on his page, and at multiple spots it sounds like it's just because he is half Atlantean/half human. I don't see how that would make him a mutant though. Under his powers though, it mentions he can fly which neither Atlanteans or humans can do. Aha! So now I officially believe he's a mutant. My questions are, does he have any other mutant powers (non-Atlantean), and why does the article say being mixed Atlantean and human makes him a mutant?

S-Man-X-Men6 (talk) 03:44, July 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's not the fact that he's a hybrid that makes him a mutant - he inherited the x-gene, which makes him a mutant from his human father. Considering his mixed genetic make-up, it is difficult to say which of his powers are due to his being a mutant and which ones stem from his hybrid nature. --edkaufman (talk) 09:56, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
