Historical text from Comixfan

As this thread hasn't restarted yet, I'll just get it back up and running with some suggestions for future profiles. I'd like to see individual profiles on the Warbound and the Red King, perhaps after the Warbound mini is done, at least in the case of whoever survives WWH, and earlier for the dead. And as we've seen individual entries for Black Bolt, Medusa, and Crystal, the other members of the Inhuman Royal Family deserve profiles, as do some of the younger ambassadors we saw in a series a few years ago. And finally, I think the MC2 universe is ripe for some more individual profiles. Spider-Girl is long over due for a thorough profile, seeing as how her entry in the Women Of Marvel handbook was brief.

Medusa and Crystal need new entries since the ones in the Women handbook were so brief. Actually, most of the characters in that book need longer entries.

Unfortunately when Comixfan moved, we lost posts of a certain age (mostly recent ones), thanks to data getting corrupted :wall:

I'd love to get entries for Dragon's Circle, or whatever it was called. I don't really understand what really happened with them.

And Bova, of course. :Biggrin:

Well, if no one minds me posting some of my past requests again, along with adding a few new ones...

Boomerang (Fred Myers; a lot has happened with him since the 80's handooks...)
Scorpia (Elaine Coll)
Imus Champion
Blackwing (Joe Manfredi)
Icemaster (first appeared in that Hostess ad, so if he's an actual 616 character now, some background on him would be useful)
Tapping Tommy (Come on!)
Stonewall
Firepower
Master of Vengeance
Richard Raleigh
The Rose (one entry to cover all incarnations: Richard Fisk, Sgt. Blume, and Jacob Conover)
The Condor (longtime Nova foe)

I know I'll probably think of at least five more after I post this, but that's all I can think of at this moment.

Sorry, me again.

I decided this is probably as good a place as any to list requests not just for characters, but for Handbook themes as well. Here is my wishlist for 2008:

A-Z Updates: At least four, but I could easily go to six. Heck, I'd be happy as a clam if ALL TWELVE issues were in the A-Z formats, but in the 2007 style of A-Z in each book, not A-B in #1, C-d in #2, and so on.

Suggestions for theme Handbooks:

Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
(Avengers is just too broad to cover it all)

Another Spider-Man book: Hooray for Spidey!!! :clap:

A Thunderbolts book: Someone else suggested this back and I really like the idea: Include with profiles of the members, their past identities and abilities(i.e. Beetle/Mach-1, Songbird/Screaming Mimi, Cardinal/Harrier, and so on).

My final suggestion? Make a book with profiles of characters you're not allowed to make profiles of, such as Rom, Conan the Barbarian, Kulan Gath, Doc Savage, and so on. Sure you'll all probably get sued back to the stone age, but think of the collectability, man!!! :mwahaha:

Oh well, just keep the handbooks coming and I'll be happy.

Capt. Speedbump

About Heroic Fantasy profiles or/and Hyborian Age charas from MU, this would be indeed great.
If the moderators 're OK, tomorrow I could go to the shop (I'm a comics shop employee) to list Conan and other Heroic Fantasy charas from Marvel Comics Index #2 to know exactly which charas could be profiled as being Marvel properties.

Yes, pretty much everyone in Women needs an expansion. And hopefully we'll get the opportunity to provide those expansions sooner or later.

Some perhaps quite soon.

Please! If for nothing more than to explain how Morgan got souped up as a cyborg near the end of Iron Man vol. 1, and then shows up in vol. 3 as his regular old normal self with no explanation (or did I miss something?)

Also, entries on Iron Man 2020 (Arno Stark, supposed son of Morgan) and Iron Man 2093 (Andros Stark) would be cool.

If an entry is done for Penance (Robbie Baldwin), they should put "Emo-ball" under known aliases.

O.K., getting back on topic, here is part two of my wish list:

Brain Drain
the Clock (Earth#1136)
Combat Casey
both Combat Kellys
Dr. Spectrum(s)
the Entity (evil Xavier)
Trevor Fitzroy
the Fomor
Gateway
Justice Peace
Amiko Kobayashi
Libra
Mastermind (Jason Wyngarde)
the previous Omega Flights
Omerta
Sazzik the Sorcerer (from Tales of Suspence #32)
the Golden age Vagabond
the Vanisher
the Warheads
Whirlwind
I would also like to see more entries on alternate dimensions, especially the following:
1241
4040
4096
4263
5106
5391
5464
40800

Here is a list of characters that need expanded entries:
Clea
the Frightful Four
the imperial Guard
Karma
Magma
Makkari
Danielle Moonstar/Mirage
Nomad
Rhino
I would really like to see the Imperial Guard get a new entry since their old one was only one page, not long enough to cover a group with that many members and that much history. I would also like to know what races each members is from.

Members of the Great Lakes Avengers have been sorely lacking in profiles. Other than Big Bertha way back in the Master Edition, none of the other (original) members have had profiles to my knowledge. Mr. Immortal, Flatman, Doorman, and Dinah Soar are sans entries, and something must be done!

I mean, newer recruit Squirrel Girl has a profile, for crying out loud... :hmmm:

Hell, give us a year or two, and we could do one whole Handbook on nothing but Grasshopper half-page entries.

I'd like to see an updated listing for Hollow, provided that Hollow is really Penance of Generation X. Never know what C.B. is going to do next. But, considering the current mess of those people stealing Penance's name for that other 90s mutant, she could really use an updated entry to separate herself from that mess.

And I'd like to add another alias for Penance (Robbie Baldwin) some of us are using over at Newsarama: "Bleedball"

If I understand correctly, character listings only cover published works of some nature. So while we might see the odd reference to a Hostess ad or a Big Little Book, the Handbook writers probably wouldn't use Internet slang that hasn't appeared in print somewhere.

He never did belong to Marvel, I believe. He was part of a television program that was licensed to Marvel and incorporated into Earth-616 for 2 issues, but that's it.

Actually Solarman (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/solarman.htm) was a Marvel character, but I believe it was a joint owned character in hopes of branching out marketing possibolities, such as a televisions show and action figures. The joint ownership it what keeps the character from returning.

The first four volumes came in 1988, cotaining the rough eqivalent of 5 issues per volume (rough because there were no Alien Races and they were the first Handbook series to realize the futility of separating dead Marvel characters from the living). Then smaller updates came out 1989-1992. Not sure off the top of my head which one had Solarman.

When we get new HB projects going after (or possibly during) the current Hardcover project, that's one area I definitely would like to work on compensating. We purposely neglected the Asgardians due to timing issues; Ragnarok occurred early on in our run and Thor has only recently returned. We were mostly waiting to see how that all played out and what the current status of those characters were before dealing with them.

I'd like to see some major X-Kids given squads even if we didn't see it on panel (Squidboy, Angel, Ernst, No-Girl, Hisako, Blindfold, Wing, The X-Treme X-Men kids...) or names (Rogue's squad), I know DeciMation has happened in between but still...

And I really REALLY enjoyed the Exiles profile I just regret we didn't a list of all the Earths they visited that would have been great. A few were missing like the one they battled Hyperion on, Dr Strange's (the one who cured Morph), Krakoa's, Magik's first mission... Actually I'd like to see it expanded. I just love Exiles and that profile was great, only a bit too short.

And also I just wanted to tell you guys thanks for all the good job you do on those books.

Which I find laughable. What's the contest winner going to do with the character? Wouldn't just knowing that a character you created was being used in a popular Marvel comic be reward enough? Now he's got squat.

Very true, but if ownership or even partial ownership had been retained the creator would be entitled to some royalties.

I draw your attention to a Star Trek: The Next Generation / Star Trek: Voyager analogy.

The helmsman Tom Paris of ST:V played by Robert Duncan McNeill was originally meant to be Nick Locarno the ST:TNG episode "The First Duty" also played by Robert Duncan McNeill. The character was changed so that the writer(s) of "The First Duty" who created the character would not get a kick-back everytime he appeared on a ST:V eposide.

Charcoal did get some merchandise in the last few years - a Heroclix figure and a Marvel Versus card. I have no idea if the respective gaming companies settled a deal of their own with the creator or if they were entirely ignorant of the rights issue surrounding him.

The contest rules were actually very clear. If you entered, you lost all rights to the character(s) being submitted.

"All entries become property of Marvel Comics and none will be returned."

Michael Regan wrote:

Wizard failed to have paperwork signed, which the rules state that the winner was required to sign, but the above text states that by entering they have no legal rights to the charcter. The paperwork was more of a formality. The co-creators (it was two brothers) never signed it and thought they could sue Marvel for millions. In the end, the paperwork was signed and Marvel owns the character, but the character won't be used again due to the co-creator's actions. A profile for the character is not even allowed to be on Marvel.com's online encyclopedia.

Fabian stated that he had planned on dispersing Charcoal's body and bringing him back later. However, upon learning about the legal mess the co-creators had created and it was decided to not bring him back.

The problem is that if things were so clear then there should not be an issue with the character... but there is.

No, the copyright problem has been dealt with, and Marvel owns the character. It's just that the whole mess left Marvel with no desire to ever use him again. What was meant to be a nice thing for a fan, to see their character in print as part of the Marvel universe, was spoiled by an attempt to then make Marvel pay financially for their attempt to do something nice.

It was clear, but how many actually read the rules to a contest when entering it? Kind of like posters not reading guidelines before posting on a forum even though it states to read the guidelines before posting.

Yeah. I wouldn't ever submit any character I wanted to keep the rights to to any contest involving Marvel in the first place, but on the other hand, it would be fun to be a senior citizen and be able to say to my grandchildren, "You know Character X? Well, he's my little contribution to the Marvel Universe." Even if Character X only typically showed up in background shots Marvel Comics Presents 8-page stories, they'd probably still be impressed if told at the right age.

One thing I'd like to see after the current run of hardcovers is finished is hardcover yearbooks. These could cover characters from handbooks published after the hardcover series began (e.g. Iron Manual), characters from the Ultimate handbooks (they're in the right format already), characters from quasi-Handbooks (Marvel Western etc), and characters who need serious updating since their hardcover entry.

Regarding the latter, Secret Invasion will likely require characters in the earlier part of the alphabet to need updating as some invariably prove to be Skulls; if Skrull. Captain Marvel gets an ongoing, he'll have enough material to splinter off. The AIM entry left out the recent Howard the Duck mini, which used AIM extensively; the MODOT project therein deserves at least a bit of coverage. And we could see a Crimson Dynamo entry with Vital Statistics (Occupation, Group Affiliation et al) for individual wearers beyiond the one in v3; Dimitri Bukharin in particular deserves a full treatment, perhaps in an Airstrike entry.

With a full year between yearbooks, it should be easy enough to collect enough material for 240 pages without draining everyone's energy.

Well put Uber. However, if this was IN ADDITION to other handbooks during the course of the year then I'd be game for it. Otherwise, I'd suggets you get me a straitjacket with the 80s MU poster drawn on it so i can play 'where's Princess Python and Zabu" while I lose my mind waiting.

Extremely confused now. At least two people apparently thought my suggestion was either/or so there must have been something in the phrasing that misled people there, but I'm sure sure where that was. I was definitely suggesting "in addition to". Of course the writers would need the time to gradually redo the Marvel Westerns et al, but yearbooks being annual by definition there would certainly be time for both.

So in short, my suggesiton was meant more along the lines of yearbooks in addition to as many handbooks as could reasonably be handled without overtaxing the writers. They're good writers and we don't want to burn them out, but there's probably still room for both regular handbooks and yearbooks




Sidney Osinga

May 24, 2008, 03:30 pm


Ok, now I understand what you mean. Still, I have some problems with the idea. First, if we get twelve 48 page handbooks in a year, the yearbook would have to be over 500 pages! Second, ever since 2006, we have been seeing entries that cover the characters better than the ones from the first year and a half. If they create entries based on characters from the Monster Files, Western Files, and the Civil War Battle damage Report, I would prefer to see them in regular Handbooks. Third, with expanded entries, there would be little to update. The yearbook might add a few lines, but it would be mostly reprints. Finally, some characters might need new, expanded entries, such as the one given to Aquaduct, but these can also be included in the regular Handbooks.

I've compiled a full list of what everyone "wishes" for in this thread.

No promises of course, but I'll be looking through it to see what can be accomplished here on Comixfan.

slevin87 and Captain Speedbump had several wonderful wishlists and included some of what I was going to include in my second listing : including The Mad Dog Ward, Forbush Man and Eye-Scream.

I do have a few more some of which came about after reading the All-New OHotMU A-Z Vol. 3 Premiere HC. I noticed that the demon Gorg from the Star Comic series Wally the Wizard was featured in the demons list. I remembered getting Wally the Wizard and the rest of the Star Comics line so I figured why not?

So here are additions to my wish list:

Wally the Wizard and supporting cast
Planet Terry and supporting cast
Royal Roy and supporting cast
Top Dog and supporting cast
Dorkham Asylum
Sheriff John Daltry (Man-Thing character)
Jameson, "Old Man"
Rex Lane, Solver of the Supernatural
Lorna the Jungle Girl
Mamie and Barney Muggins
The Thousand

If you mean the character from TANGLED WEB, he had an entry in All-New OHOTMU #11 and should be in one of the later hardcovers.

Great additions. Perhaps handbooks by imprint would be interesting but there still may be licensing issues with many. Wikipedia has a good list of Star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Comics) publications.

Is slevin correct in the assumption that The Thousand is the Spider-Man character? I can't sind any other similarly named character.

Oh, and he wasa not included in your list, but I have started working on Peter Porker (http://www.comixfan.com/xfan/forums/...ad.php?t=45319) summaries here on Comixfan, to be followed-up with biographies as time permits.

While some of the Star Comics characters were licensed, a number were Marvel-owned, so never say never on covering some of them.

Michael,

Slevin is correct about The Thousand. I make a list and check the characters to see if they were in the currently crop of handbooks. If so, I took them off the list. The Thousand I had planned to remove, but I must have overlooked doing so.

I am pretty familiar with the Star comics line and hope to share them with my daughter. I would have loved to add more of them to my list, but only added the titles that were Marvel-owned and not licensed properties, such as Madballs, Heathcliff and the Get A Long Gang.

I didn't include Peter Porker because he will be part of the HC series as Spider-Ham and the Larval Earth entries. Just another case of having one of my wish list in the hardcovers! Good job on the Peter Parker Marvel Tails summary by the way!

Stuart, thanks for posting about the Star Comics characters and I do hope to see them in one of the handbooks in the future. I would love to see the Star comics imprint return. The titles for children are sorely lacking since I was a kid. Back then, there was Harvey titles, Gold Key books and others.

Looking forward to more of everyone's wish lists.

I have two additions to my list :

Kinsey Walden (of Secret Invasion : Home Invasion fame) - which I hope will be collected in a print TPB
Shanna the She-Devil (Frank Cho mini-series version)

I'd like to see profiles for the following:

Black Brigade
The Brothers from Marvel/DC (impossible for copyright reasons?)
The Cat (martial artist)
Dr Goodwrench (natch)
Ember
Fredd
Les Heroes de Paris
MGH (I'm not sure how long it's been around but it's in loads of comics)
The Monster From Marvel Two In One 34 (I know this is incredibly unlikely, but I love that issue and I still don't understand why it's a different colour on the cover (a misleading cover at that) - I have no idea where you'd file it. In fact, I'm probably better off just re-reading the issue regularly)
Moonraker
The Scatter
Spragg (and others from the monster files, but especially Spragg)
The Twelve (individual profiles for members other than Black Widow (who may warrant a new one anyway when the series finishes))

Plus people who have appeared in the encyclopaedias but not in the handbooks (like Icemaster and Gladiator (who I know has already been requested)), people from the old handbooks (like Bushman) and people who have had profiles as a member of a group but have done stuff individually that warrants attention (such as the Wrecker)

I was going to check which ones had already been requested, but some of the lists are so long I couldn't be bothered to read them. Sorry.

The Beetle got a profile under his alias MACH-4 in All-New OHOTMU A-Z 2006 #6.
The Serpent Society got a profile in OHOTMU: Teams 2005.
The others haven't got a profile yet in the new OHOTMU's. But Black Mamba is included in the BAD Girls Inc profile in All-New OHOTMU A-Z 2006 #1.
