      If that is indeed Ranark, Purple Woman must have gotten a serious boost in power or Ranark must be depowered.

      Ah well, I won't dwell on it, the real story will be in why it was this person and how it came to this.
      Excellent post, DaVeO. Exactly what I was thinking. If we had a post of the week award, you'd get it.

      Yeah Marvel, don't sabotage this series with solicits like this!

      (spoiler-y speculation to be revealed when you highlight...)

      Wait, if her head is the one in the foreground, that means there is another long haired female on the team that hasn't been revealed, one with long hair. Correlating this with a certain Guardian and Snowbird smackup scene in one of the interviews, then I'm betting that Aurora will be in Alpha Strike as well!

      My first thought was that it was:














      Talisman, but you could well be right with that.

      Sad that that's true.

      Ah, I thought so... this is a thread from June, when I was travelling! That's how I missed it.
      That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

      "If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married."

      After that, he should leave home as much as possible; by then, it is this that will bring his wife happiness.

      NOT that i am trying to add to the Bible.
