Here's one I've seen on Wikipedia and CGC labels.

Wrong: the first appearance of the Inhumans is Fantastic Four #45.
Correct: Inhumans first appeared in Red Raven #1 (in a retcon) or FF #36 (with Medusa)

Ignoring retconned Inhumans like the winged race that raised Red Raven and Tuk the Caveboy, saying that FF #45 is the first appearance is ignoring Medusa and Gorgon.

(On a related non-Marvel note, the Swamp Thing that appeared in House of Secrets #92 was Alex Olson and not Alex Holland, the version that is the 'main' Swamp Thing. The Olson version is a prototype of the well known one.)

Here's something I heard a few times. Let me know if I'm wrong or if it has been covered before.

Wrong: The Hulk worked as a mob enforcer as Joe Fixit
Truth: Fixit worked as an enforcer for casino owner Michael Berengetti, and while he did have some encounters with organized crime, neither he or Berengetti were part of it.

the John Force profile is in the style of the Standard Comics Encyclopedia. The other 3 are in a different style
 

The John Force profile hasn't appeared previously, correct? And for the other 3, is the text the same as in the encyclopedia?

Yes, the John Force profile is new, and the text of the others are condensed from the originals

Thanks both of you for responding. He also did Lords of the Ultrarealm in Who's Who Update 87 #4 and the Hal Jordan profile in the Looseleaf Who's Who. Unfortunately, he cancelled so I guess it doesn't matter.

Does anyone know if Pat Broderick did any work in the Handbooks? He's going to be at a con this weekend.

This campaign is offering a Handbook with the top tier, but the creator has said that when the program is funded, he'll have a stretch goal where all physical backers will get one. So Let's help him out.

Made changes last night but forgot to post this:

1438 I'll allow since your description suggests you have the right character, though he's actually called Grenade, not Shrapnel. The rest are correct; list updated.

 

Thank you. Yes, it's been a while since I've actually read something with him in it, but at least I was in the right direction.
