Plant guy
I remember reading a special issue of Avengers years ago (the issue was older and I think was a double-sized) that featured holiday oriented stories. Anyway, one of the stories dealt with this smalltime superhero who had plant based powers and moonlit as a standup comedian. Anyone know his name?--KrossTransmit on Holonet? 02:03, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you're talking about the 1991 Holiday Special, which saw Captain Ultra (a stand-up comedian/superhero) fighting Plant-Man (pretty obvious why I mentioned him).

The Power Cosmic Holders
Hey, I just wanted to ask, did the hulk ever possess the power cosmic and for how long. Does he still possess the power cosmic. If hulk is/was the holder of power cosmic, then it is not writen in the power cosmic page.

If Hulk had the power cosmic, how much stronger would he be. Could he give himself a "godlike" status like silver surfer to make himself even stronger than galactus himself?, because he was given the most raw power cosmic out of all the cosmic entities galactus created.

Thanks For your time

 * Great question!


 * There are actually two known instances where Hulk gained at least a portion of the power cosmic. In Captain Universe/Hulk, Hulk was granted the abilities of Captain Universe, although it caused him to calm down, essentially negating his Hulk abilities. (Check out the image).


 * Then, in the Marvel Zombies universe, Hulk ate the Silver Surfer's head, which gave him a portion of the power cosmic that the surfer possessed. He was able to retain his Hulk form, fly, shoot energy projectiles, and no longer needed to breathe (as he could talk in space).  Of course, in this instance, the 'hunger' overpowered all the other abilities he had, causing him to constantly search for food.  Hulk's cosmic abilities, along with the others' who ate the Surfer, allowed them to kill Galactus and feast on his remains!


 * Hope that's what you're looking for. :)

 * Technically, though, the Uni-Power isn't related to the Power Cosmic. Its origins lie in the Microverse.

Thanks you guys, exactly the question i was searching for :D now i have another question, which should be underneath this question Anvillious 06:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Could The Venom Symbiote Be Stronger
As the headline implies, the question is that could venom be stronger than the other symbiotes. Has this ever happened before, or is it possible. ive recently heard somewhere that the venom symbiote "absorbed" the carnage symbiote, causing Cletus Kasady to paint himself red and wander the streets as a fake, human carnage.

what does that term "absorbed" mean. does that mean he can absorb other symbiotes and gain their powers + get an automatic augmentation in his own powers ?

venom is a all time favorite character of mine, along with hulk definatly, but since hulk is the strongest, i guess i just wanted to know if venom could be stronger to battle the high powered beings (colossus, abomination, hercules etc etc)

and my last final question, could venom bond with the hulk, i know this has happened before, but in this case the hulk is fully powered, and is not weak (like the mindless hulk that the venom took all the gamma radiation from).

would both of them be stronger, and since hulk virtually has unlimited adrenaline that goes through his body at the same amount as the niagra falls, could venom be stronger, and in turn make hulk stronger at base calm level... and once he gets angrier, his level of power that increases would increase as well(eg, if hulk gets augmentation in his strength of 10 tons when he gets a bit angrier than he already is, would venom augment his strength to about 30 tons??) ... so all in all, both of them would benefit in every way.

Thanks alot for your time Anvillious 06:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * So I believe you're talking about the time in, when the Venom symbiote drained Parker, and moved on to take over the Hulk, and then Thor after Banner was no longer suitable. What was established in that book was that the symbiote cures Banner of his gamma problems, effectively turning him back into regular old Bruce Banner.  I would assume the same thing would happen in most other universes, if the Hulk were to merge with the symbiote.
 * However, while they were combined, I believe you are correct in assuming that their power would be increased. If you think about the symbiote itself, you'll find that it's strength is not limitless.  It is after all, just an alien being who happens to live off of a host instead of on its own.  With this in mind, I would believe that the Hulk's strength is only moderately increased by the symbiote, more so at lower levels, and less at higher power levels.  Think about it this way, the Symbiote is a being with physical limits, so more than likely, there are limits to how much it can add to anyone's strentgh.  One thing is inconsistent about the symbiote's strength, though.  I've always seen Venom as stronger than Peter with the Symbiote, but Peter's strength is already upgraded with his spider-bite.
 * Really, it's difficult to gauge any hero's level of strength without the official word from Marvel. Without an article on Venom/Hulk together, it's all just speculation anyway.  I think you're along the right lines of thinking, but it isn't known if the symbiote increases strength proportionally or by a standard increment, so it's difficult to really say what would happen if they stayed bonded, and it didn't cure Banner.
 * &mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 20:01, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

so, ur saying that if venom was on the fully powered hulk, there would be a time where the venom symbiote couldnt take anymore of hulk, and eventually, leave him for someone his(venom's) "size"

Anvillious 09:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * More like, the symbiote could always handle Hulk's size, but at some point, wouldn't be adding any strength to him, because he'd already be stronger than the symbiote could make anyone.
 * &mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 14:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

ok, one other thing, anti venom, is it like the venom symbiote..... meaning that since venom symbiote is a living entity (feelings, thoughts, pain, etc etc) is anti venom like that, or just a covering on top of brock, and underneath, its brock having full awarness, his actions, his moves, his own decisions... not the anti venom's ??


 * I don't think enough is known about the anti-venom symbiote just yet. As much as we've seen it in action, the details about it's appearance and full capabilities is still undetermined.  Personally, I believe it's another type of symbiote, possibly a spawn of the Venom symbiote, but that claim is so far just a theory. :)

Mystique battling X-Men
Who does Mystique shape-shift into when she is battling the X-Men?

augie35


 * It depends on how it suits her. I've personally seen her shift into the Hulk in the Mutant X universe, though she was on the X-Men there.  Most times I've seen her battle the X-Men, she stays as herself, or shifts into a civilian disguise so she can sneak away.

Golden Gondolier
I remember a character who had gold skin and was dressed as a gondolier and flew around on a gondola but I can't find any information about him, can anyone help me?

The Vet 17:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Cannot think of anyone offhand. It sounds like it may be a secondary story in something like Tales to Astonish or something along those lines. Any other clues or maybe even a rough timeframe of when you saw this or if it is definitely a Marvel character? I was able to find someone wearing a yellow outfit and driving a gondola in a Batman issue (DC Comics). See if this is him and if not, reply below with any more info. --M1shawhan 23:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it was a Marvel character, it was in the 80s. There was some sort of crab creature in the story as well.


 * That makes it sound still like it may have been a Tales to Astonish from that time frame (Tales to Astonish Vol 2.) The interesting thing is that series centers around Namor, which is one of the only heroes off the top of my head that made sense fighting both a gondolier and a crab-creature as well as would fit the time frame of when he was a more prominent character (had his own series right after the 80's.) I'll keep looking, but this one might be a stumper without more details. --M1shawhan 23:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, it just hit me, I assumed you meant a gondolier (as in Venetian oarsman), did you mean a gondola for a balloon? --M1shawhan 23:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Shhh....Deadpool
Urbanzo1148 23:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)X-men Origins: Wolverine How Did Deadpool in the movie said Shhhhh.... When his mouth was sewn shut?Urbanzo1148 23:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe he was farting? :)
 * Artful Dodger 00:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * If you look closely, you'll see that he actually has a regular shaped mouth, instead of the sewn/healed one we first saw when he woke up. Some say that since the procedures were interrupted, parts of his powers, (including the shut mouth) didn't take, and went back to normal after a bit.  Others say that the healing factor knew that his mouth being shut wasn't correct, and corrected it for him.  Still others believe that the final 'easter egg' scene where he says, "Shhh" was filmed prior to the decision to close his mouth, and it was a simple filming mistake that wasn't corrected.
 * I suppose it all depends on what you want to believe. ;)

Green vs. Red
Who would win in a battle between the Red Hulk and Green Hulk? I say Green, because the Green Hulk's strength increase with anger (as does his durability) and if the Red Hulk emits gamma radiation as he gets madder the Green Hulk would absorb that making him even stronger. As the Green Hulk gets madder he gains an advantage and as the Red Hulk gets madder he gains a disadvantage.

The Hulkster 21:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * So far, it appears to be fairly even, at least what we've seen. With Red Hulk's ability to absorb the Hulk's gamma radiation, he's able to effectively weaken him, but if green Hulk's angry enough when the battle starts, he's shown he can take out his red counterpart.
 * --GrnMarvl14 22:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

But, even if The Red Hulk tried to absorb the Green Hulk's gamma radiation the Red is constantly emitting gamma radiation which the Green Hulk would aborb which cancels out whatever the Red Hulk absorbes and if the Red Hulk gets angry as he absorbes the Green Hulk's energy he woul emit more gamma radiation which would really cancel out whatever the Red Hulk tries to absorb from the Green Hulk. The Hulkster 02:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * So that shows it's all still open for debate. I'm sure that as the Hype with the Red Hulk slows down, he'll be killed off, or banished, and eventually forgotten about, especially since Bruce Banner is such a mainstay in Marvel Comics.  No one can say who would win now, but I'll bet the Green Hulk will win out over time.
 * &mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 19:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I think the Green Hulk will always win too, he has much more of an advantage over the Red Hulk, there is no way the Green Hulk would lose. Also, Jeph Loeb doesn't know much about the Marvel univerese anyway, he had the Red Hulk steal Thor's enchanted hammer (even in space it is IMPOSSIBLE to pick it up) and Rulk killed Terrax (who in reality Terrax is much more powerful and would have killed Rulk). Green Hulk will always easily smash Rulk I hope you all agree. Also, just for fun, how would World War Hulk would have fared against Red Hulk? The Hulkster 16:31, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

you cant really compare WWH aka Green Scar with Red Hulk...... Red Hulk would cease to exist if he ever took on Green scar.... he'd be gooooooooone :D hope that answers your question

Is Captain Britain Asain?
Until recently never knew that Pylocke is Captain Britain's sister. Now I know Pylocke is Asian? Is Captain Britain Asian too? I also read something about Pylocke not originally being Asian. Please clarify more.

Timothytia 00:09, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Psylocke was initially caucasian/white, but had her body switched with an Asian woman named Kwannon by either Matsu'o Tsurayaba or the Mandarin, and thus Psylocke came to inhabit the body of an Asian female (though in Uncanny X-Men #509-510, she was restored to her original body). Captain Britain's always been your average white-skinned, blue-eyed, blonde-haired super-hero, and has never been Asian.

Onyx856 01:13, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty certain he's beaten both Namor and Hulk (I'm about 99% sure he's beaten the Hulk at least once. I mean, if Spider-Man's been able to beat him, why not Thing?). Thanos...don't think so, but that's mostly because they've largely only come into conflict when Thanos had some sort of Infinity item, and was capable of taking out darn near anyone. And I'm not too sure on Colossus.

Why did Wolverine think he didn't have claws?
In Wolverine (vol. 2) #10, he claimed at the time when he fought Sabretooth because Sabretooth killed Silver Fox that he didn't have claws yet. Now, we all know that Wolverine always had claws. Was this ever explained? Was there a point in time when Wolverine didn't know he had claws or does this just simply contradict the information we later find out about Wolverine?

Epb 23:44, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Due to NUMEROUS memory wipes and false memory implants, he had lost huge chunks of his memory, including the very idea that his claws were natural. There were numerous times he didn't know his claws were real (or that he had them) because of this manipulation.

No doubt about it that the legends of Marvel Comics have been captivating us "True Believers" for over 50 years and have created (In my personal opinion) the greatest heroes of all time, but my question is actualy a 2 parter open to any to answer. Part 1: After scouring for hours to answer an old question on this site, a friend and I have concluded that of all of the Marvel 616 characters, Franklin Richards has to be the most powerful ever made. Is this true? Is the son of the amazing Reed and Sue Richards THE most powerful of all characters? Part 2: If not... then who is and WHY? Thanks for your time :D

I'd have to say that the Beyonder is the most powerful marvel caharcter of all time. Look on his page. The Hulkster 21:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much Hulkster!! We ruled the Beyonder out due to Doom absorbing Beyonder's powers, but after a little Beyonder research and Doom research we have to agree with you on that one. SO Beyonder IS the end all be all of Marvel Characters! Thanks again, Hulkster, me and my friend are comic nerds and always get into the infamous "WHO WOULD WIN" talks, so far our favorite one is "Blank VS Super Man" wich always ends in "meh, Supe would just toss em into the sun" OR the "Blank VS Batman", "meh, Batman ALLWAYS finds a way."

 * According to her last Handbook profile, she was last recruited by G.W. Bridge when he was trying to get Castle to regain his focus. She faked being an ally with Jigsaw, who helped make Ian Amsterdam into "Kid Punisher", who nearly killed Castle. Then, as penance for damaging Ian's psyche, she helped him kill Jigsaw. Must have been a fairly recent storyline (sounds like it was from the recent Punisher War Journal series). So she's still around...to some degree.

Mystique battling X-Men
Who does Mystique shape-shift into when when she is fighting the X-Men?

Augie35


 * Sometimes, no one at all. When she shapeshifts, it's usually to fool people into thinking she's someone else. In battle, she might change her shape to confuse her opponents, by making them momentarily think she's an ally, or even an innocent bystander. Ultimately, her shape in battle is largely just whatever's tactically best, with nothing taking precedent except for her actual appearance.

I wasn't sure where else to post this. Are there any plans to begin releasing the X-Men universe in volumes? from the original team to the spin-offs, crossovers, and plot points? perhaps even with bits when their villains crop up elsewhere? I was thinking maybe yearly volumes, based on year of original print once most of the spin offs come about, to make for easier reading and continuity?

insanityincarnate. 19:37, 19 October 2009 (UTC)


 * You'll likely never see any sort of collection of every story, including crossovers. You'll find collections of crossovers (I know X-Tinction Agenda received a collection YEARS ago, though it's likely well out of print. Messiah Complex received a collection. I'm sure Messiah War will as well, if it hasn't already), and collections of issues in order (the Essentials books for the early stuff. Most stuff from this decade can be found in collected order). But books that include the villains popping up elsewhere? Not likely to happen unless it's an Essentials or some sort of character-specific book.

Anything you find online would give you an estimate, but it would be pretty "off". You can try a comic book store, but you might get a better idea just going through an art/collectible appraiser. If you would like to upload your pieces, I know we would be happy to see them, but I think you would have better luck pricing them by showing someone who can place an actual value to the art, whereas the majority of our values would be guesses.

Who's Marvelman (Micky Moran)?
DUSK 17:19, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Marvelman, also known as Miracleman, is a character created by Mick Anglo in 1954 for the publisher L. Miller and Son. Originally a bit of a Captain Marvel (DC's Captain Marvel) ripoff, he attained real popularity in the 80s when Alan Moore began writing the character in the British anthology comic Warrior, stories that were then published by Pacific Comics, and then Eclipse Comics in America (where it was known as Miracleman). Neil Gaiman also wrote for the character for a bit. Eventually, legal troubles stemming from confusion over who owned the character bogged him down, but most recently, Marvel bought the rights to the character from Anglo and are attempting to placate every party involved.

Red vs. Green (Savage) - here, at the start of the fight, the odds are going to be with Red, due to red having a higher base strength then savage hulk. but if hulk used the "overheating" weakness against red hulk, then i think, without a doubt, that hulk will win. and btw, this same scenario has happened in one of the Hulk Comics. i think it was Hulk #6 but obviously, savage hulk aint going to let red hulk beat him down like that. because "There is only ONE hulk, and he is GREEN". Hulks going to get angry, and obviously, is going to over power red hulk.

2. Red vs. Green (Green Scar) - im not even going to explain this. Green Scar is the MOST obvious choice. Green Scar wins with a curb stomp on red's face.

3. Green (Savage) vs. Skaar - this fight would be pretty even. im not really sure as to who could win. i really dont know.

4. Green (Green Scar) vs. Skaar - Skaar dies very very painfully

5. Red vs. Skaar - hmmm... this is a good one. if suppose, Skaar saw (savage) hulk being knocked out (which happened in one of the red hulk series), i think skaar might actually win. seeing as skaar would be pissed off, that no matter what the hulk has done, he is still his father.

I know the green scaar is defiantly the strongest version of any hulk. Do you think that the green scar will ever return? And what do you think of Jeph Loeb's Red Hulk stories? I don't like them he really messess up the Marvel universe and there is no repeat NO way Red could beat green (the madder old greenskin gets the stronger he gets nuff' said).

hey, dont ever loose hope, the Green Scar will return, and i hope that in World War Hulks, The World Breaker Returns, and literally finish off all the useless characters. and yes, all the hulk fans are really pissed off at leob, due to his crap books and the idea red hulk could beat hulk, thats just stupid. ill tell you the mistakes that leob put in the red hulk comics at the start of world war hulk, Hulk was literally standing on top of the ship which was bringing him home. he was standing on the goddamn platform, in open space, with no oxygen mask. so how can hulk pass out ? tell me thats stupid. hulks stamina, endurance, EVERYTHING is god-like or even more than a god. and red hulk made him pass out(even though its impossible as mentioned before) with minimal effort. every hulk fan is expecting Green Scar to reappear in World War Hulks, and own everyone with his immense anger and power. cant wait for red hulk to be broken, and vanished off the marvel roster, as if he never even existed.
 * when red hulk breaks the arm of hulk, yes thats possible, but his arm should be back to normal, the second it was broken, due to hulks healing factor.
 * when hulk passed out... i called that.. complete bull... it was established in planet hulk, that hulk NO longer need to breath in space to survive. so basically, no oxygen shouldnt affect hulk in any way.

What's gonna happen to DeadPool and will he have a movie in the near future?
I recently heard That Disney bought Marvel T_T, Will they leave DeadPool the way he is or will they change his character? Also will he have his own movie in near future?

Xxthekingxx2012 03:19, September 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * The press release by Disney says that they won't be changing anything within the Marvel company. Marvel knows what it is doing, and Disney hopes to only help them do the same thing bigger.  Deadpool's movie was green-lit after the opening weekend of X-Men Origins: Wolverine proved to be extremely successful.  The Deadpool movie is still being written, so Marvel has not released a projected date for when it comes out yet.

On which comic books are the marvel films based?
Hi, I've been reading marvel for like 4 months now, and I was missing all the old super villains and the famous story arcs, like the ones on which the movies are based on, so could anyone give me a list of which issues are those.

I want as many issues as you know, because I know they mix up a bunch of issues on those movies.

You can tell me about all the movies, but specially the Iron man one, the X-Men movies, the spider-man, Hulk, daredevil and ghost rider.

I apreciate a lot.

 * &mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 00:22, October 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Most of the movies are based on several issues or plots tied to together. The Daredevil movie, for instance, is based around Frank Miller's run, circa Daredevil #181. X-Men 2 is VERY loosely based on the God Loves, Man Kills graphic novel. Iron Man is a mix of Tales of Suspense #39, Iron Man #200, and a few other minor plots. X-Men 3 could be based on a storyline that happened during Grant Morrison's run on X-Men Vol 2/New X-Men OR on the Mutant Empire trilogy of novels (though BOTH of those happened in New York), plus a little of the first arc from Astonishing X-Men Vol 3. No idea where, exactly, the Hulk movies drew their material from (other than the Hulk series in general).
 * --GrnMarvl14 02:21, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

To help... Just pick up the Essentials and TPBs to catch up. The stories from the films aren't the same in the comics and it would be hard to say which ones were used for each film. There's over 70 years of comics (I'm including all of the older Marvel comics from the late 30's - 40's) and it's just not that simple to give you a whole list. I suggest just picking up the Essentials and other collections and play catch up. Just enjoy the comics. The movies are one thing, but if you get into the comics, you'll have more information on the characters and more open minded thoughts on the coming films and the plots they're based on.J. A. R.

Dark Reign The List: Punisher Monster
Hello i have a question. i recently read the marvel one shot "Dark Reign The List: Punisher" and in the book was a preview about the next issue.

Power Linkage
I have a question for anyone out there. I was wondering if you can tie selected powers or abilities to certain comic characters? Also, I was wondering if there really are people in the world with natural gifts, but they may not even realize?


 * I'm not sure what you mean by "certain powers tied to a character". Each character has their own powers which always stay pretty much the same. They will change power levels or occasionally lose or gain a power, but they are usually consistent. If you are asking how this wiki catalogs powers, check out the page Category:Characters_by_Power.

Could this happen?
I was having an arguement with my friends, and I was wondering, can the Juggernaut move the Blob?

OutcastBOS 20:32, November 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * It really depends on the situation, and specifically who was writing the story. One writer would probably say he could, another would probably say he couldn't.  Personally, I believe the Juggernaut's power is stronger than Blob's, since it's partly mystical and has the power of a God behind it.  All Fred Dukes has is a mutation.

Chronology of Major Events
In what order were the major events originally published?

Battle Mage 20:09, November 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Which events are you talking about? There are MANY of them...
 * Artful Dodger 23:50, November 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * I know, that's why I said the "major" events - like Civil War, Dark Reign, Disassembled and so on.

--Battle Mage 06:46, November 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * It sounds like you are interested in the current round of major events which are affecting most of the Marvel Universe. Avengers Disassembled came first and led to House of M. After House of M came Civil War and then Secret Invasion. Dark Reign started at the end of the Secret Invasion and is currently moving into Siege. However, there are many major events prior to these such as Secret Wars, Mutant Massacre, Dark Phoenix Saga, Operation Galactic Storm, War of Kings, Annihilation, Age of Apocalypse, and World War Hulk.
 * You can find a list of major events here, but they are not in chronological order.
 * Artful Dodger 13:35, November 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much, that's exactly what I meant :).
 * --Battle Mage 15:59, November 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, World War Hulk happened between Civil War and Secret Invasion. And War of Kings happened after Secret Invasion. Annihilation happened (roughly) during the events of Civil War and directly affected the events that led into Secret Invasion.

JaketheBank 05:44, November 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Early in Comics:Captain America Vol 4. It really didn't change much for Steve. The secret identity aspect of the character was never really as important in Cap's case as it is for Spider-Man or Superman.--Max 06:13, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Danger room creature
When I was a kid, I remember seeing.. I believe in the first animated series, a creature that existed in the danger room when the safety measures were turned off/disabled. This creature appeared to be an orangeish/yellowish color, was like an octopus in shape, and either siphoned off the life force or powers of any mutants/beings caught in its grasp. Thank you all for your time, this is something I've been trying to figure out for awhile now.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 07:14, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

1980 Marvel Comic Game "Comic Connection"
Hi, I found in my parent's basement a Spider-man Comic Connection game and I can't find any information on it. Does anyone know anything about it? It's "The Arms of Doctor Octopus" and ©1980.

Anyone hear of this before?

Let9699 00:20, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I haven't, but I was able to find the comic titled "The Arms of Doctor Octopus". It's, which was published in September of 1970.  So I don't know if that helps.  It's weird that Google has NO info on this game.  Was it a board game?  On some kind of computer console?  Also amazing that Wikipedia has no mention of the game either.

Apocalypse Background / Comics
Hey,

I'm looking for some guidance into uncovering a little more about En Sabah Nur. I've read "Age of Apocalypse", as well as "The Rise of Apocalypse", but I'm wondering if there are any other storylines or story arcs that might be thought of has "must read" as far as Apocalypse goes.

I started on this little search specifically because I am looking for the comic when En Sabah Nur first enters the celestial ship. I have heard about it from a friend, but have never read it. From what I remember him telling me, En Sabah Nur is battling some guy, and the guy shows him this ship that he has never been able to get into, and he is able to just walk right onto it. I think that the story is told to someone by the guy who was fighting En Sabar Nur, because I remember my friend telling me a line that was something like " a few centuries later, Apocalypse walked out".

I'm sorry if that's horribly vague, but I would like to be able to get my hands on that comics, or that entire series of comics that it is a part of, and anything else that is a good read and pertains to Apocalypse.

Thanks for any info you can share.

Mutant Questions?
What are the mutant populations and or percentage in the overall super powered population within the standard marvel 616 and ultimate marvel 1610 universes before and after M-days? Also on a side note why are mutants so much more hated than other types of super powered individuals (I know its to mirror the treatment of jews and the stupididty or racism etc.. but i wanted an answer from an in universe point Lexxxy52 00:24, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's no way to tell what the percentage was before or after M-Day in Earth-616, since we never knew exactly how many mutants there were or how many super-powered individuals there are (though, likely, there were more mutants than non-mutant super-powered characters). I assume the same is true of the Ultimate universe. And, really, you nailed it. The oppression inflicted upon mutants is meant to mirror racial prejudice, enhanced by the fact that you have people who are not only born different, but several of whom are born with the powers to easily kill others.
 * --GrnMarvl14 00:58, February 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think another reason that in-universe characters are so scared of mutants is that they never know if their own child could be a mutant. You can stop your child from riding on a test rocket into space or keep them away from gamma ray tests, but if your child is just born a mutant, there's nothing you can do.

Back when he was still bonded with Eric Masterson, Thor teamed with the Origgional New Warriors to battle Cain, and at the fights end, used his mystic hammer to open a portal to a lifeless planet, where he was able to send him, temporarily. Also, while a member of the X-Men, he was teleported to Mojo's homeworld, and later brought back by a possessed Spiral. --GreenLanternPrime 21:38, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

OHOMTU Precursor
This comic has a 3 page spread at the back where Spidey ranks the strength of his fellow super-heroes (wish I had a scan to put up), that seems like it could have been an inspiration for OHOTMU. Thoughts?

00:50, February 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Who wrote that particular piece? The original Handbooks were largely the idea of Mark Gruenwald and...someone else whose name escapes me (possibly Peter Sanderson or Eliot R. Brown). They were the ones who really backed it, ran it, put it together, and got it out. And the guys behind the current Handbooks openly refer to Gruenwald as THEIR influence. While what you mention may have been a precursor or inspiration (I can't say it wasn't), it was largely just Gruenwald's passion for the characters and his need to present the information (the "origin story" of the idea is in the original Handbooks, I believe).
 * --GrnMarvl14 01:33, February 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, lesse ... says here "Script and Layouts: Mark Gruenwald" and "Finished Art:Bob Layton". Here are some really crappy photos of the pics. There was also a section very much like OHOTMU called "A Gallery of Spider-Man's Most Famous Foes!" with Man-Wolf, Jackal, Punisher, and Tarantula.

It's a little like finding the Dead Sea Scrolls...

02:31, February 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, not surprising to hear Gruenwald was involved. Likely was the precursor the Handbooks, then. A way to gauge interest. Or maybe just him thinking it was interesting and someone needing to fill space. Pretty cool to see.

 * I do have a question about that: The template doesn't seem to auto-categorize the comics under the year, only under the month, which is why the "All Comics for 19XX Without Month Designations" field is mostly empty. Is that a precaution against insane loading times?--edkaufman 10:56, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, nothing like that. The categorization of this site was set up long ago, and had been slowly evolving to be exactly what we want.  The only reason all comics for a year aren't listed in the year is because we haven't made it that way.  I imagine it wasn't set up that way because someone originally figured that being more specific is  more important than less.  I'll look into categorizing comics by year as well as month and year.

 * the weird thing is that the comics template does include the category for "year" as well as "month and year" - it's just that only the second one seems to auto-categorize.--edkaufman 16:29, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yea, I just updated the comic template for categorizing year, so that's why you're seeing it now. Took a bit of work to get the sorting down properly (chronolgical by month then title for each year), but the year categories should be all set now.  I kept all of the comics with a given month out of the gallery at the top, just to make the pages load faster.

 * Thanks, this is a huge help to me. Now I begin the ultimate OCDness of reading every marvel comic in order of publication! ...Yes I am a sad little monkey. -- Miatog 10:02 5/1/2010 PST


 * welcome to the club... ;) I got to the end of 1970 before I had to take a break and catch up on the present day stuff I've missed in the meantime... it's worth it, though.--edkaufman 17:31, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Pepper Potts: Dead or Alive?
Yeah, haddn't seen her since her becoming Iron Girl, and then someone told me she died in a fight with HAMMER, but I can't find any proof of this, nor did my friend remember what comic or issue this death took place in. Can anyone tell me if this is true or not? Thanks.

Marvel Background
Is the Marvel Background supposed to be red or white?

--Mutant God 18:32, May 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * You mean the Marvel logo? Usually its red.--Max 20:41, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'm talking about the logo and what surrounds it and the articles. All of that is white.

--Mutant God 20:46, May 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know what's going on, but occasionally everything goes white. It's definitely not intentional and not something we're actively doing. I think it's a server issue on Wikia's part. But that's just an assumption.
 * --GrnMarvl14 00:27, May 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it should be "red", not "white". This has to do with some of the changes lately that are weighing down the server. It should be back up and running with just a simple refresh of your screen. This will possibly happen from time to time until the server can be sped up or some of the recent changes are tweaked. If you DO see it occur, just refresh. The page itself, otherwise, will act just the same. --M1shawhan 00:32, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

I haven't seen the red since Friday, no matter how many times I click refresh.

--Mutant God 00:53, May 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * A couple things to try are manually refresh (ctrl+F5), verify you are logged in, checkout your preferences and make sure your skin is set to "Custom" in the dropdown. If you are still having this problem after that, you may want to move this issue into the forums under "Bugs". That way we can track it directly and have you upload screenshots if needed. --M1shawhan 01:04, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Human Form of Mystique
Has Mystique ever had a human form?
 * She has certainly assumed many forms of humans, male and female. I assume you are asking what her "original" form or "normal" form is?
 * Artful Dodger 00:59, June 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, (like in "X3-The Last Stand" when her powers were shut off). --Mutant God 05:12, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Widower
A widowed is a woman whose husband has died right? --Mutant God 06:53, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep. A widow is a woman whose husband has died but she hasn't remarried. For the marital status field on the character template, you'd put "Widowed." A man whose wife has died and who hasn't remarried would be a widower, which is also what you'd put in the marital status.
 * --GrnMarvl14 21:32, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

I asked that because in the widowed page there is both men and women --Mutant God 21:37, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Several questions...
Which heroes don't have identities (As in, the public knows that both identities are the same person) any more, still, since Civil War, to this day?

Is Nick Fury back as director of SHIELD? Is SHIELD re-established now that Norman's gone, anyway?

Does Tony remember things again? I remember, not too long ago, he had a chip or something that was removed and he forgot a bunch of stuff like the Civil War and things leading to it and preceding after.

Does Peter have any new love interests? I've been out of it recently... (As you can tell) and I remember he slept with his roommate. But, since then, has he gotten another squeeze?

Are Peter and Harry friends still? Or has that changed since his return in OMD?

What's happened to the Dark X-Men and Avengers? I know that Sentry died... Did any become good guys again (EX: Namor and Emma Frost)?

Is Frank still a monster? Or have they FINALLY changed him back?

I've been into DC for a while, and did occasional pick-ups for Marvel. I've picked up a lot of (Year old) Spider-Man books, my Wolverine prescription ended MONTHS ago and I never got a renewal page, so I've been out of Dark Wolverine. And I kept up, SOMEWHAT, with Dark Reign and SIEGE. I just need some help. The rest, I will just look up on the other pages... J. A. R. Head 05:20, July 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Excellent questions! You have been gone for a while :). You have come to the right place for answers. I can get a few of these and other people will chime in later.


 * Is X-Factor still a government team? I haven't read any X-Factor comics since the original series where the original 5 X-Men were members when the team started out. I have some 90's books, though... But, CURRENTLY, is it a government team?
 * X-Factor is not a government team anymore. They disbanded some time ago. The new team is a private investigation agency led by Madrox. They work out of Chicago although they travel all over (I think they are in Latveria now). The roster is Multiple Man, Strong Guy, M, Siryn, Shatterstar, Rictor (depowered after M-Day). The current title started with #1, but after #50 it got renumbered to #200...weird.


 * Is Genosha still a active island for Mutants?
 * Genosha was destroyed by a wild Sentinel attack in Astonishing X-Men. It is currently a big crap pile of trash. There are some mutants living there, but mostly it is empty.


 * Is Jean back? Can Scott and Jean be considered married, still, if she's not?
 * Jean's still gone. Scott and Emma have hooked up. No word on when Jean will return.


 * Are Mutants still feared and hated? Or has the discrimination died out/down yet? I remember a while back that they were allowed rights, I think, but were always watched by Sentinels...
 * The Sentinels watching the mansion were destroyed by Cable during the Messiah Complex storyline. They turned on the mansion and destroyed it as well. The X-Men relocated to San Fransisco. They were on the mainland for a while, until they raised Asteroid M from the bay and moved onto it. They called it Utopia and practically all the mutants left live on it (198 of them...give or take a few). They are currently under attack on Utopia in the Second Coming storyline.


 * You've got some reading to do to catch up! Thanks for asking your questions and I know that other people will answer more later.

LOL! I do! :P So, Mutants are still un-liked in the MU? J. A. R. Head 22:33, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Still un-loved, though they've found a measure of acceptance in San Francisco, they're still largely hated and feared.
 * --GrnMarvl14 23:40, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! :) I'll wait until the rest of them are answered later... 'Till then, I'll be using the site to figure them out myself...J. A. R. Head 21:31, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Is Nick Fury back as director of SHIELD? Is SHIELD re-established now that Norman's gone, anyway?" Yes, SHIELD is re-established, but no, Nick isn't the director. Steve Rogers is.


 * "Does Tony remember things again? I remember, not too long ago, he had a chip or something that was removed and he forgot a bunch of stuff like the Civil War and things leading to it and preceding after." He had his memories wiped to prevent Norman Osborn gaining access to the secrets he knew. Most of it has been restored, though I believe he still lacks his most recent memories, from about the time of Civil War on.


 * "Are Peter and Harry friends still? Or has that changed since his return in OMD?"

Yes, still friends.


 * "What's happened to the Dark X-Men and Avengers? I know that Sentry died... Did any become good guys again (EX: Namor and Emma Frost)?" Cloak and Dagger jumped shop and joined the X-Men proper, and have since returned to being vigilante crimefighters again. Captain Marvel realized he was on the wrong side, joined the real Avengers, and is now the Protector. Daken is still on the loose, but the other Dark Avengers were either killed (Ares) or captured and imprisoned. Ms. Marvel/Moonstone has rejoined the Thunderbolts.


 * "Is Frank still a monster? Or have they FINALLY changed him back?" Still a monster.


 * Re:"::X-Factor is not a government team anymore. ... The current title started with #1, but after #50 it got renumbered to #200...weird." Though no longer a government team, they have still done the odd mission for the authorities, largely due to their old government liaison Val Cooper blackmailing Madrox. And they went from #50 to #200 because the old series ended on #149 - the combined numbering makes new series #51= overall series #200. Lokiofmidgaard 22:48, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Category:Energy Senses
With his Spatial Awareness, does Scott Summers fit under this category? -- Mutant God 06:58, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Isn't spatial awareness one's ability to perceive where they are in relation to other objects? In which case...doesn't EVERY character have that "ability"?
 * --GrnMarvl14 23:39, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it says that "Cyclops seems to possess an uncanny sense of trigonometry, in this sense used to describe his observation of objects around himself and the angles found between surfaces of these objects. Cyclops has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to cause his optic blasts to ricochet and/or reflect off those objects in a trajectory to his liking. This is commonly called a "banked shot" when applied to this talent. Cyclops has been observed causing beams to reflect from over a dozen surfaces in the course of one blast, and still hit his intended target accurately. It is his sense of superhumanly enhanced spatial awareness that allows him to perform these feats as well." --Mutant God 23:50, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, then, it's definitely doesn't fall under "energy senses", since that would be the ability to sense certain types of energy. He can calculate angles. Basically, he's a pool player.

Wicked's real father?
Yeah, I was reading about her and someone said she was Victor Creed's daughter. Is this true, or just typical gossip?

--GreenLanternPrime 14:17, July 9, 2010 (UTC) GreenLanternPrime 14:17, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Gossip. We don't know who her parents are. Lokiofmidgaard 07:17, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Question about "Shadowland"
Is it a late book? Like it's based further in the past? Like what DC does with Superman/Batman? I saw Punisher was in it and he wasn't Franken Castle in it...

J. A. R. Head 21:36, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

No, not late. Set around the same time as the other current Marvel titles, give or take. The Punisher thing might indicate he is going to recover soon, and this is set a little ahead of where his own title is at the moment, but it might also be an imposter, clone, extra-dimensional counterpart, etc. Only time will tell. Lokiofmidgaard 07:17, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Queston about "Age of Apocalypse"
Was it based in current time? Or was it based sometime in the future? The original 1995 book, that is...

J. A. R. Head 04:20, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Set in an alternate version of the present day, a timeline that had progressed differently after the past was altered. Lokiofmidgaard 07:17, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

I knew the rest. I just wasn't sure if the book itself was set in present day or if it was set sometime in the future.

Are these Marvel comic characters
I am working on a puzzle and it has something to do with the pictures I am attaching. Do these mean anything to you. They looked like they might be Marvel comic characters - some may be not.

 * None of them look like Marvel characters to me. The third picture on the top looks kind of like Daredevil, but I have never seen him wearing a yellow cape. I can tell you that the third picture on the bottom is Jot the Dot, a character from some old Christian animated shows. Link is here --


 * 1) ? - looks like something I have seen before, but I cannot make out the characters well enough. I would try a 1950's comic though (possibly Journey Into Mystery, or similar).
 * 2) King Leonardo (cartoon)
 * 3) ? - Does look like Daredevil to me, and he did have a yellow outfit at one point... but no cape and it's a red outfit with a yellow cape?! Possibly a DC character?
 * 4) House Hunting Mice (cartoon)
 * 5) James Bond Jr. (cartoon)
 * 6) ? Unsure, this actually looks familiar, but I can't place it as a cartoon... more along lines of comic or artwork.
 * 7) Eek! the Cat (cartoon)
 * 8) Mr. Jack (comic strip)
 * 9) O.G. Watasnozzle (cartoon)
 * 10) JOT (cartoon)
 * 11) Human Bomb (Quality Comics)
 * 12) Aesop & Son (cartoon)
 * 13) Dial H for Hero (DC Comics)
 * 14) Kwicky Koala (cartoon)

I actually pulled most of this info from a forum of someone looking for the same picture last year. I was happy though that I remembered a couple. As far as the puzzle, I am not too sure the relation between them all. --M1shawhan 00:21, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Public identities...
Which Marvel heroes, currently, have complete public identities???

J. A. R. Head 20:56, August 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * There are two ways to tell/find out:


 * Category:Public Identity
 * 1) If you find any not on this list, or that are and should not be, you can edit the character's page under the "| Identity = " to equal Public, Secret or leave it blank. --M1shawhan 22:17, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Been Awhile
I just started catching up on the recent Punisher comics, after taking a year off from buying any. I currently have PunisherMax #1-5 (own all Punisher MAX and Frank Castle: The Punisher). I also own all the way up to Franken-Castle #18, and Dark Wolverine #88. I just can't seem to find a website that gives me a straight answer about if the comic has been released or not. So basically my question is, what ones from the current series am I missing? You can include Annuals and One Shots too, but I have the only Annual that the MU Punisher has out and I think the only MAX One-Shot I'm missing is Get Castle.

Normally I wouldn't ask here, but I never recieved an answer on Global Punisher Army Forum or the main Marvel forum.
