In Wolverine v3 #48 (I believe), Logan recalls that everytime he had a near death encounter, he is forced to fight the Angel of Death Lazaer/Azrael on the astral place for the right to return to his body. For every appearance that Logan "died," should we do a BTS appearance for Azrael?

The Punisher's real name has long been established as Frank Castle (born Castiglione). According to the Marvel Index #3, this was revealed in Punisher #1 (1986) with "Frank Castle. Born in Queens to Mario and Louisa Castiglione -- parents changed the name when he was six." I have two quest...

Here is my full analysis of the series X-MEN: MAGNETO TESTAMENT #1-5. I have also interlaced this story with prior flashbacks to Magneto's history to construct a coherent overview. Many thanks goes out to Rivka Jakobs and her incredible Magneto FAQs, which provided an enormous wealth of background m...

Has there ever been a reality designation given for Galactus' universe (such as Reality-616)? I know that many Earth-designations were given in in issues #3-5 or so of the new hardcover OHOTMU. Could anyone with these confirm this? Also, was the X-Men Animated series (or the X-Men Adventures comic s...

I know that Marvel Comics #1 (1939), the first appearance of Sub-Mariner, is considered the beginning of the Golden Age of Marvel Comics, and that Fantastic Four #1 (1961) is considered the beginning of the Silver Age of Marvel Comics. Would anyone know the years and/or issues that are generally con...

It may be possible the first actual reference to his full name was in the Handbook. Just like with Logan and Gahck's child Erista.

Why couldn't they have name the child IMMEDIATELY after birth, like they did with Franklin Benjamin Richards!!!

In MARVELS 1, Phil Sheldon encountered his girlfriend Doris in a movie theater on a date with a postman, Bill Lumpkin, during WWII. Intially this was going to comment that this was perhaps an overlooked appearance of Willie Lumpkin. But in the new OHOTMU HC 6, it mentions that his grandfather, Bill ...

Was the proper chronology for Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn ever determined with regards to their children? Around which issues during the 1960s-1970s did they have their affair, resulting in Gwen becoming pregnant? When was she leave for Europe for four months? When did she have the twins, and when ...

Also present yet BTS while Peter Parker was bitten by the radioactive spider in AAF 1 was Jessica Jones (ALIAS 22) and Carl King (TW 2-FB).

OITTMU 1 mentions that in ASM 2, "Bugle employee Joe may, in hindsight, be Assistant Editor Joe "Robbie" Robertson."

http://www.geocities.com/marvelindex/mcal-chart.html For much of the research that I have been doing into the chronology of the Marvel Universe, I have found that the Marvel Calendar by Paul Boucier has been a cornerstone to much of the work that I have done.

If anyone here happens to be uber knowledgable about SHIELD, I has a few questions regarding their training. 1/ Does anyone know how long SHIELD members are trained for? Is anyone aware of any character that has been shown entering and later graduating SHIELD Academy? Has there been any references r...
