      Exciting spoiler image from issue #2. Either another former Alphan is back from the dead or someone's dressed in a similar costume.

      If you're on about the double-page spread, I think 'similar costume' is nearer as the... 'usual wearing' is alive and well and regularly shows up in another Marvel title...

      Actually, I'm thinking more about a predecessor to that person...

      I would like to think that person would be allowed to stay deceased. Mantlo made him a tragic character and I would like to think that we have a Guardsman or Neverland scenario where the costume itself and not the person is resurected.

      I agree with Del.
      It could be anyone or anything in there.

      Like Pestilence (working on the principle that if I say Pestilence enough times, he'll do a Candy Man and appear)

      The fact that there appear to be multiple Boxes make me think it's no 1 person.

      Depends how it's done. There could be a bunch of robots with a central controller; or a bunch of robots without a central controller. Or a central controller, without a bunch of robots, but he's getting bored and lately he's taken to drinking at work and Martha's getting worried about him.
      Or, of course, you could be right about multiple people in multiple boxes.

      The facial features of the robots looks alot like Courtney on a Box body to me. Maybe Jaxon is back after all and is really the one in charge.

      Could be multiple people in just one robot, a bit like sardines in a tin, but without the brine.
