Synopsis for 1st story

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

Notes

The entry for Angel features a main image with a costume never used by the character, apparently because this issue was printed before the costume designs for X-Factor Vol 1 were finalized. The image is corrected in the TPB edition.
