Re: Was Baron Strucker in X-Men Alpha Flight an LMD?

Yeah, I know, but in this case, Strucker's appearance is impossible. He was "dead" at the time.

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

On bendisboard, Fraction admitted that it was a mistake. Selene WAS supposed to be Tessa. See the following link: http://www.606studios.com/bendisboard/showpost.php?p=5677922&postcount=652 Fraction claims that it will be corrected in the trade. So I guess we should just treat it like occurs shor...

Was Baron Strucker in X-Men Alpha Flight an LMD?

In the second X-Men-Alpha Flight series, Baron Strucker appears. Unfortunately, Strucker was "dead" at this time. The Marvel Appendix lists the Strucker in that series as an LMD. We have it listed as the real Strucker. Should it be changed to an LMD?

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

We are ignoring other continuity clues based on Selene's appearance. The use of Sentinels, Donald Pierce, Emma's lack of skill, Shaw's just taking leadership. These flashbacks ring true of the UX 99 era. I'm pretty sure they work for everbody but Osbourne and Selene. Lets just pretend Selene got mi...

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

Yes, Tessa has been retconned into having always had telepathy -- I wasn't trying to say that she didn't HAVE the power back then. I'm saying, AFAIK she never let her bosses in on that fact. Hence, "active display". Were Shaw and Emma present in the XX 3 flashback? -Jeph! Sorry, I misunde...

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

Given the art and characterization, my solution is simply to read "Selene" as "Tessa". Tessa, at this point, wasn't actively displaying telepathy. -Jeph! She defeated Psylocke by turning her telepathic attack against her and forced to her knees in Xtreme X-Men 3 in a flashback t...

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

Given the art and characterization, my solution is simply to read "Selene" as "Tessa". This would not be the first time a character was called by the wrong name in a canonical comic. This seems to solve most of the other problems. As for Osborn's interactions, Tony could have be...

Emperor Doom-Is Doom a Doombot?

I've been looking over the Marvel Chronology Project and it doesn't seem like we adequately solved the problem of where to place Marvel Graphic Novel 27- Emperor Doom. Under Namor's entry, we state that MGN 27 precedes his appearance in Avengers 263. Under Doom's entry,we state that MGN 27 takes pla...

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

Could work if placed before her first published appearance in "New Mutants" vol. 1 #9 (November, 1983). At the time she was married to Marcus Domitius Gallio in Nova Roma but we could rationalize she had left her ball-and-chain behind for a while. Also rationalizing Selene could leave Nov...

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

I think to be able to get this to work for all sides, we must consider this is not the same Selene and proceed from there. I thought Selene was a sort of energy vampire, rather than a telepath, anyway. Since, Emma did'nt know about the Sentinal's and she clearly does by UX 151-152, but the appearan...

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

While considering where this Annual goes, one should consider Tony's and Namor's chronologies around this time period: In Iron Man#182 (May 1984) Tony stops drinking. Unfortunately, Stane still has almost all of Tony's fortune. Tony finally manages to get his fortune back in Iron Man#203 (February ...

Re: Uncanny X-Men Annual #2

Tony was in California at this time working with Rhodey and the Erwins on the Circuits Maximus company. And yes, he could have come to the Club to get investors. But the problem is that Emma and Shaw describe Tony as "rich" and a "playboy". Those terms don't apply to Tony at this...
