I can identify Warlock, Wiccan, Union Jack, Wild Thing, Venon, Arnin Zola, The X-Babies and Von Struker. Is the shirtless guy facing back the one from Alpha Flight with the annoying name?

Yukon Jack? That'd be my guess. But I don't think that's Von Strucker, if only because Baron Strucker got an entry in ANOHOTMU #1. My guess is that's Zarrko (sp?) the Tomorrow Man.

Is the woman on the right next to Venom and in front of Zola supposed to be Umar?

I have no idea who the greenish-skinned man in the red outfit with what looks like yellow knives on the chest, and I'm not sure who the flying girl in the yellow outfit in the top center is (Ultra-Girl?).

One last question to the writers. Since this is the twelfth issue of twelve, I wonder if there's any idea how soon after this will the 2007 handbooks start coming out (whatever form they take). Will there be something coming out in January 2007, or well there be a gap in the publishing schedule? Or is it too soon to say?

Yes and Yes

Too soon to say, but expect some sort of announcement soon.

It's Mitchell Tanner, aka Warhawk. He trapped once the X-Men in their Danger Room (UXM#110).

Is the Venom in this profile Mac Gargan ?

It does look more like the design they've made for Gargan, so I'd expect so.

You may be right on that one.

Yukon Jack is not that annoying. I was refering to his real name. That's annoying.

Let's not forget about Varnae, either.

I guess the woman on the right could be Umar; if Viper hadn't received a profile in the Wolverine handbook, I'd think that this was her.

About Gargan, in all former Handbooks and in the Spider-Man Encyclopedia, his first appearance is reffered as Amazing Spider-Man #20. It seems to me that Gargan appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #19 (unnamed) before becoming the Scorpion in #20.

Also on the cover are Vulcan, Alex Wilder, Wild Thing and the Winter Soldier.

I hope Wyre, Wolfsbane, Widget and the Warpies are also covered in thise issue.
