Synopsis for 1st story

The Handbook gives histories and power descriptions for Marvel's characters.

Notes

• The schematic of the Freedom's Lady that appears in this issue is actually one of the Captain America, the first starship used by the Guardians of the Galaxy, that has been mislabelled. Also, since the origin of the Captain America was later retconned, some of the information in this entry may no longer apply to either it or the Freedom's Lady.
