In the APPENDIX of the ORIGINAL #2, Marvel made a small mistake when they wrote:
BLACK SPECTRE II
Terrorist organization led by Nimrod Strange. First Appearance: MOON KNIGHT #25
because the Black Spectre appearing in MOON KNIGHT #25 is Carson Knowles, in fact you wrote this in the list:
Black Spectre (Carson Knowles) MUUp #2 1, DReig ⅓
Nimrod Strange worked for the following terrorist organizations: Black September, the Red Army, Black Hand and Black September is similar to Black Spectre but he had his personal bodyguard known as NIMROD STRANGE's BODYGUARDS.
So, maybe, we could have:
Black Spectre (Carson Knowles) MUUp #2 1, DReig ⅓, Orig #2 App as Black Spectre II (wrongly indicated as Nimrod Strange's terrorist group)
and
NIMROD STRANGE aka ARSENAL Orig #2 App (wrongly indicated as leader of BLACK SPECTRE II)

I am sorry but I don't understand why the two very beautiful and updated profiles about CHAMELEON (3 pages) and KRAVEN THE HUNTER (4 pages), from "Spider-Man Grim Hunt - The Kraven Saga", are not listed here but only in the OHOTMU Sightings Outside the Handbooks - Current Version" page.
Thanx

I would like to add the profiles of the CRUSADERS characters from the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z Hardcover #3. The CRUSADERS group has been already added as:
Crusaders Orig #3 App, ML70 1+WNow, Hardc #3 1, AZsc #3 caps
Spirit of '76 (William Nasland) Orig #2 App as Captain America; CoC #3, Orig #11 App, Orig #14 ½, Del #19 1¼, GAge 1, Hardc #11 1 as Spirit of ‘76; Mas #18 2 as b:Spirit of 76/f:Spirit of ‘76
becomes:
Spirit of '76 (William Nasland) Orig #2 App as Captain America; CoC #3, Orig #11 App, Orig #14 ½, Del #19 1¼, GAge 1, Hardc #11 1, Hardc #3 bodyg (Crusaders) as Spirit of ‘76; Mas #18 2 as b:Spirit of 76/f:Spirit of ‘76
Captain Wings Orig #3 App
becomes:
Captain Wings (Roger Dicken) Orig #3 App, Hardc #3 bodyg (Crusaders)
Destroyer (Roger Aubrey) CoC #3; Orig #3 App, ANew #12 head, Hardc #12 head (V-Batallion) (V-Batallion); GAge 1, Hardc #3 2, AZsc #3 caps w/Marlow
becomes:
Destroyer (Roger Aubrey) CoC #3; Orig #3 App, ANew #12 head, Hardc #12 head (V-Batallion) (V-Batallion); GAge 1, Hardc #3 2, AZsc #3 caps w/Marlow, Hardc #3 caps (Crusaders) as Dyna-Mite
then we could add the following new ones:
Tommy Lightning (Thomas Lovejoy) Hardc #3 caps (Crusaders)
Ghost Girl (Wendy Hunt) Hardc #3 bodyg (Crusaders)
Thunderfist (Patrick "Pat" Mason) Hardc #3 bodyg (Crusaders)
Alfie (William Leese) Hardc #3 caps (Crusaders)
Offline
3-D Man (Charles Chandler) CoC #2, Orig #12 App, Orig #14 1, Mas #17 2, GAge 1, Skr ½, Hardc #12 1
because the original 3-D Man was a fusion of the two brothers, Charles and Harold Chandler, maybe we could have:
3-D Man (Charles "Chuck" Chandler+Harold "Hal" Chandler) CoC #2, Orig #12 App, Orig #14 1, Mas #17 2, GAge 1, Skr ½, Hardc #12 1
Offline
Scarlet Scarab (Mehemet Faoul) CoC #3, Orig #9 1
the Scarlet Scarab in Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions 3 is not Mehemet Faoul but his father Abdul Faoul, but in the #9 of the ORIGINAL series they talk about both of them, so we could have:
Scarlet Scarab (Abdul Faoul) CoC #3, Orig #9 1 (with Mehemet)
Scarlet Scarab (Mehemet Faoul) Orig #9 1 (with Abdul)
Offline
Sphinx (Meryer Karim) ME6FF 1, ANew #10 3, Hardc #11 3 w/Mut
the second female Sphinx's first name is Meryet
Offline
Freak (Eddie Marsh) see Eddie Marsh
his surname is March

A correction about Ghost Girl, only:
in the list we have:
Ghost Girl (Lilli Stephens) Orig #5 App, AZsc #1 head (Alpha Flight)
but there are two different Ghost Girls: the one in the Appendix of the Original #5 is the Ghost Girl of the Crusaders, the one in the softcover A-Z #1 is the Ghost Girl (Lilli Stephens) of Alpha Flight, so we could have:
Ghost Girl (Lilli Stephens) AZsc #1 head (Alpha Flight)
Ghost Girl (Wendy Hunt) Orig #5 App, Hardc #3 bodyg (Crusaders)

Going through the suggested corrections that I will upload later. At post 106. Most are good so far.
I made a note about Avalon under Otherworld but kept them separate for much the same reason that the Balkan States are separate Europe.
I've tweaked the Soviet Super-Soldiers. When I upload the new version things should be clearer.
To keep things simple and avoid listing leaders of teams separately, for Black Spectre I'm merging the incorrectly described listing with the Knowles listing and clarifying things there.
I'm correcting real names but not noting how they were originally listed; with retcons the list could easily get bogged down with false real names.
Leaving 3-D Man as is. I understand what you're getting at, but the Handbooks consistently list only Charles as the real name (a similar situation happens with Brother/Doctor Voodoo) so I'm following the Handbooks' lead.

Also the Grim Hunt oversight was likely the result of it being suggested for the Sightings thread and not this thread. I try to spot when new material is suggested in Sightings but things can sometimes get missed unless someone suggests them in both threads. It will be in the next update.

Ok, I'll do that from now on.
I posted these recently on the sightings thread:
SINISTER WAR #1 Cover C (Sep 2021)
Electro (Frye) 1
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #70 Cover C (Sep 2021)
Doctor Octopus 1
I also posted a photo of a Cyclops profile which I'm not sure qualifies as handbook or pinup.

A few more notes:
Re: Crusaders: If characters are simply captioned in a group entry with no additional info, I'm not including them. This list could get bogged down with minutiae if I start listing everyone who's identified in an illo. A few name-only character headshots from Original did slip in, but with modern Handbooks where there are a lot more such captions I want to keep this manageable.
Likewise, a good rule of thumb is that the "Vital Statistics" section (under than First Appearance, which often lists multiple characters) is what I generally use to determine who the profile is about. Using that as the basis, the Scarlet Scarab profile in the original series is Mehemet. This being the Marvel Universe I suppose I can't entirely rule out Abdul being Abdul's father, but that is still unlikely. I do allow some leway should one character later prove via retcon to be two (e.g. Phoenix, Red Raven, Star-Lord) but those are special circumstances.

I understand but in the Original #12 appendix (page 32), Marvel wrote:
3-D MAN

Offline
Torgo (Torgo Nia) Del #20 ½ sub (Vampires), ANew #11 1, Hardc #12 1, Vamp ½ as Torgo; Hardc #12 head (Vampires) as Torgo Nia Torgo
(Torgo of Mekka) ME6FF ⅓
there is a little confusion, here, because Torgo of Mekka appeared in the ANew #11 and in the Hardcover #12, so we could have:
Torgo (Torgo Nia) Del #20 ½ sub (Vampires), Vamp ½ as Torgo; Hardc #12 head (Vampires) as Torgo Nia Torgo
(Torgo of Mekka) ME6FF ⅓, ANew #11 1, Hardc #12 1

I get what you're saying, but if you look at the majority of Handbooks, including the hardcover profile (the most recent one), it's just Charles. The Handbooks aren't always consistent so you have to look at other factors, the most recent info being the biggest factor. For a time the Handbooks listed Grant as Captain America's middle name, but nowadays he's considered to have no middle name. Sticking with current understandings of characters is the best approach I think.

Ok about 3-D Man (but I add the he is different from Brother/Doctor Voodoo because I remember that Jericho calls his dead brother's ghost sometimes not everytime, not like the 3-D Man who always calls the two brothers' energies but I accept your decision, of course) but may I add that about:
Thermo, the Thermodynamic Man (Walter Michaels) Orig #12 App as Thermo; ME4S App as Thermo, the Thermdynamic Man
there is a little misunderstanding: his real moniker is THERMO, THE THERMATRONIC MAN (I checked), it is true that Marvel on the appendix of MARVEL ENCYCLOPEDIA #4 wrote Thermo, the Thermodynamic Man but they made a mistake, so we could have this:
Thermo, the Thermatronic Man (Walter Michaels) Orig #12 App as Thermo; ME4S App misnamed as Thermo, the Thermodynamic Man
(p.s. the Thermodynamic Man is Equinox)
