FAN ART
How do i post fan art -tootyfrooty8) 16:17, December 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would recommend only posting your OWN fan art rather than stuff you've just found (unless it's with approval from the artist), but either way you will add it like any other image (here) and then tag the page in the dropdown as "fan art". Then add it to the page you want. If it is fan-art, I would not add it to the article pages, but instead to either your user page or the character galleries and noted as fan art. Does that help? --M1shawhan 18:15, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Wolverine 2099
Why does wolverine 2099 have 1 arm? -tootyfrooty8) 18:45, December 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am not sure if this was ever explained. He seemed to hold a true grudge against the Hulks, so I assume it was something to do with them. --M1shawhan 18:15, January 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * It was not explained in the comics, at least, not yet. ;)

In Marvel is there any left handed characters?
I always notice majority of the world is right handed. I wondered, if Marvel automatically makes everyone right handed... Or are there any characters that Marvel did make left handed? One person, I particularly wonder is Emma Frost. I can't say much for the comics,but I notice in the animated series she uses her left hand quite often for holding weapons or to attack. Is she left handed in the comics or it's never stated? Is there anyone who's highly known as lefty?

 * There may be a handful of conversations where a character has admitted to being left-handed, but I haven't run across any of them since I began editing on the site about four years ago. I'm sure it's come up somewhere, but don't remember any of the conversations off-hand...

masarver


 * Hi Masarver,


 * We actually don't provide current market values for the comics we feature. Here are some good ones for that though:


 * Comics Price Guide - Good for grading AND pricing
 * Stash My Comics - Login and use the grading system above along with the comic to find the current price (pretty accurate)

How do I change my embarrassing signature? I made it a long time ago and can't seem to change it!

-tootyfrooty8) 00:44, January 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure I understand. Are you wanting it to be something "different" or you want a different username? You can message me on my talk page, or just follow up here. --M1shawhan 23:57, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

a question about the events following m-day
i just wanted to know what the future of the marvel universe, or earth-616, is going to be after the events of m-day? considering most of everyones favorite mutants have been de-powered is marvel going to come up with some fancy way to give them all back their powers or what? i know a lot of them died after being de-powered so obviously theyre not coming back. anyway any answer i can get would be great, speculation or otherwise Whatpain 04:50, January 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Current issues of the X-Comics (X-Men: Legacy, Uncanny X-Men, etc...) are all following up with this. The main one to keep an eye on this answer would be Generation Hope Vol 1. As for a flat answer on what they are going to do? I wouldn't hold my breath just yet. There were a LOT of characters who's whereabouts and current power levels are unknown. It could be anybody's guess. You might also check out Avengers: The Children's Crusade Vol 1 for more info on what happened to the Scarlet Witch since she was the cause of it all. --M1shawhan 23:57, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Kevin Masterson
Hi, yeah, I was wondering what was the book and issue where Steve Rogers gives the Thunderstrike Mace to Kevin Masterson, and does anyone have any pictures of him changing into Thunderstrike? Thanks.

GreenLanternPrime 20:35, January 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thunderstrike Vol 2 1 is where he gets the Mace. Don't readily have any of him transforming, but I might try and hunt the issue down later.

How do you win an award (i don't really need or want one, just wondering) ZTM1234 12:17, February 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you mean a badge? You have several already on your profile page. Please clarify what you mean.
 * Artful Dodger 12:23, February 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Because you asked and for your help on the site, I gave you some. He meant the Awards buttons at the top of the user talk pages. I added some to his talk page. They'll show at the top right, next to the badges box (though they are much smaller compared to the new badges.) :) Keep up the great work! --M1shawhan 23:34, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

"Captain" or "Commander" Steve Rogers?
The header says it all? Which title is correct now for the former Captain Amrica, Steve Rogers? His main page cites "Captain" (citation 32) but a lot of appearances are being listed as "Commander Steve Rogers". So, which is correct / canon, and should we be fixing the main page's title to read "Commander", or changing the listed appearances to "Captain"? The Overlord 06:47, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Two Lokis
I have never read any of the comics series, but I know Norse Mythology kinda well. PLEASE explain, how does Loki Laufeyson differ from Loki Odinsson! Who is the Loki from Elder Edda?! Laufey is not Loki's dad, but mom.Thanks. Loki Laufeyson 16:32, February 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Definitely not going to say that the comic series matches the mythology exactly (in fact, I can guarantee that it does not). I would say you can either read up on Loki, Thor & Odin. But you might want to check with some of the site's more "Thor-knowledgeable" admins & users. Here are some of their talk pages (Eetmi, Farlstendoiro or Thor2000) and you might want to hit them up with these questions. You're bound to get a straight answer out of them. --M1shawhan 03:11, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Editing Power Grids
How does one go about editing the power grids for certain characters? Some power grids are wrong even with the proper sources due to erroneous/false editing. For instance: Beyonder, Iron Fist (Rand), Gorgon (Shisido) all according to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Hardcovers are "6"s for Fighting Skills but have "7"s listed on their pages.

Ultrabasurero 03:18, February 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Due to the incorrect/false editing problem, official power grids have been locked so that only Administrators can change them, though Fan-Based power grids can still be added by any user.


 * I can personally correct any power grid you let me know about other than the ones listed in the hardcovers, since I don't own all of those (yet). For corrections based on hardcover power grids, please leave a message for GrnMarvl14.  (I went ahead and asked him to look into the three you suggested here this time).


 * Again, thanks for your help! :)

 * We get a lot of these types of questions, but our site does not maintain or keep up with that type of information. The best places to look would be Stashmycomics.com or Comicspriceguide.com are both good places to start your search though. --M1shawhan 03:13, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

X-Characters & Dates
Two questions.

Firstly can someone please tell me which X-Characters have had their own ongoing series over the years. I know about Wolverine, Dazzler, Cable, Deadpool ("Cable & Deadpool" too), X-Man & X-23. But have there been any others to get the honor. I only care about the ongoing ones not limited series and one shots.

Secondly one thing that has baffled me for a while. How can so many comics have a publication date that is after the release date. I mean if it hasn't been published how can it be released. What's the go bro?

Limitlessness 01:19, February 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Some that come to mind would be Gambit and Bishop Vol 1, Bishop the Last X-Man Vol 1. All the rest were mainly limited series and there are a BUNCH of those. Best thing to do would be to go through the entire list of comics and see them all. Or check out the One Shots & limited series and you can find them all.


 * Second question is an easy, yet complicated answer. The "release date" we use is the day the comic 'hits the shelves'. The "publication date" is the date you read on the cover/index (which Marvel completely stopped doing in 1999 and the publication date was then moved to be solely inside the comic on the index). The reason that it differs is that the issues were being sent to the direct market (comic book stores) or newsstands. Because neither one of these vendors want to try to sell "older" comics, this date was originally intended to have the vendors keep them UNTIL that date and then allow them to take them down. This way people going to buy the comics see the current dates and believes that it is more current. The dates are normally a 2-3 month period. It's a kind of misnomer though to call it "Publication Date" as you pointed out, but it is the general practice for most magazines as well as comics. Good questions and I hope I answered them for ya. ;) --M1shawhan 01:43, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

How do you change the description of a universe on a character disambiguation page?
For example, in Wolverine (and all characters that have Earth-81122 counterparts) it says "Fantastic Four head an anti-mutant regime" below the character image. I'd like to change that description so that it reads something a little more accurate and less wordy such as "Alternate Future Ultimate Universe" or something along those lines. Thank you.

Balfro 18:21, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * A template called the Number to Name template does this work for us. We provide the descriptions, and the template figures out how to supplement them.  If you have any questions about how to adjust this template, please leave me a message.


 * I also wanted to mention that we try to be very specific with the reality descriptions, since it's likely multiple realities can fall under very similar circumstances. "Alternate Future Ultimate Universe" is too general, since there were several alternate future universes which spun out of the Ultimate Universe.  (Remember Cable?)


 * Thanks!


 * &mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 16:37, March 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand. However the Cable Earth you mention is listed as "Future Ultimate Universe" which is even more vague. This is why I offered up "ALTERNATE Future Ultimate Universe" as an example. Regardless of what it is labeled I do believe that it should be at least labeled with the words "Ultimate Universe" added to it as the description could easily be mistaken for an alternate future for the mainstream continuity with it's current description.

Uploading a photo

 * Usually it is the file type if you get that type of message. What file type are you trying to upload? You may even want to upload it to the forums and see if that works and one of us can try to get it on here if that doesn't work. If nothing else, try to write down here exactly what it is saying and all the file info and we can try to hash it out. --M1shawhan 02:01, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

 * If you are looking for pricing on these or the possibility to "sell" them from here, we don't really have this setup on our site. You might want to check out:


 * Comics Price Guide - Good for grading AND pricing

Conan the Barbarian (1982 film)
What Earth/Universe did the Conan the Barbarian (1982 film) and its sequel Conan the Destroyer take place in? GhostUser 23:15, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not 100% sure Marvel was behind either one of the films, but as far as the comic book releases published by Marvel, they take place in the Hyborian Age (I'd link to our page on this, but it needs to be completely revamped as it has no info on it.) I would think that the "reality" of the Hyborian Age would be the same reality for the movies. --M1shawhan 00:26, April 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Currently the page is up for deletion and I have no complaints. All resources I can find do not identify the project as made by Marvel Studios. GhostUser 17:11, April 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's the only bad thing with those "comic book movies". Marvel really only pushed the comics for some of those till recently. --M1shawhan 22:55, April 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's really equivalent to the Transformers animated movie that was put out in the 80s (when Marvel was publishing the Transformers comics). Both are licensed properties, so it's unlikely that the release of the movies had anything to do with Marvel.

stroy ordr
hello ive been looking for sites that can give me lists of the story order for the main canon continuity of Marvel comics. No ultimates etc. U have a very impressive list here and i like that its listed and has everything. My question is.... is the list in Realease order, OR, story order???? Story order is what im looking for. If this is not in story order can someone please shed some light or let me know of sites that offer that. Thanks. N9NE 01:04, April 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the nice words on the site. As far as the story order, it depends on what you are really looking at. I think you mean directly from the storyline and the list that would probably best suit you (and the one that you probably are looking at is the Marvel Universe Reading Order). This was created based on storyline order (and it is by no means complete). It is well-maintained by a contributor just like yourself named, Ryangut and he could probably shed more light on it. If you are talking about another list, please put a link up to it here or let us know and we will try to get you the answers to whatever you need. --M1shawhan 01:57, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Please help me find this book!
I am trying to find a book I read years ago. Unfortunately, because it was years ago, I don't remember a lot about it. I'm hoping someone here can help.

The book started out with a SuperHero falling out of the sky into the ocean, thousands of years from when he was in a fight of some sort. He finds that Earth is part of some big galactic empire and that the inhabitants of Earth we moved to other planets somewhere else. Each continent was moved to it's own planet, named after that continent. So, there is a Planet Europe, Planet Asia, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not even sure if it was a Marvel character, just that he was a superhero.
