From the writer of the Guardian update:

Hmmmm...

You are correct - Kyle is individually blasted and the police are inspecting individual people in #8, but based on the cure being pheromone...

Alpha Flight #8 is unclear if she was infected with Unity or if she was acting of her own volition. The Unity cure wasn't selective - it cured everyone. If Vindicator was infected, she would have...

Nearly, but not quite. All of them are Golden Age characters from Canadian comics, except for Nanook, though she has some similarities to the Golden Age character Nelvanna.

Please do not suggest writers use wikias to do their fact checking. Do you really want the second Deadly Ernest to become canon?

Well, Romulus might have proposed that theory, but it doesn't mean he's correct. Personally I put it down to him being a psycho supremacist who'd like to believe it, but his theory has a lot of holes...

Yes. That was a reprint of the entry in the HC series, and at the time of publication we were still under the impression it was a single individual. When we get to her entry in the softcover...

Isabel's surname, on the other hand, isn't coincidental. But then, I think everyone knew that already.

I suspect the matching surname with Smart Alec is just a coincidence. But only James Hudnall knows for sure, as he was the one who provided the name.

Isabel St. Ives. And it should be in the entry, so now you've got me worried that the correction wasn't made properly. The second Nemesis was Jane Thorne.

Yes, we got confirmation from Scott Lobdell that Amelia Weatherly was not the same Nemesis we'd seen before, and that Nemesis is a role that passes from one host to the next - so there's three we...

She had a perfectly good main image from the Update '89 Handbook. There were others in greater need of new art. But it was nice to be able to tick another Alpha-related profile off the list.

I fixed it - try as I might to ignore Wikipedia, I can't stand to see misinformation promulgated once I spot it.

Wiki prides itself on its accuracy: "vandalism is usually repaired extremely quickly—so quickly that most users will never see its effects" Weird how I keep finding blatantly wrong information on it...

Just spotted this and felt the need to share. This is why I don't trust Wikipedia...

If it all looks good to you, someone may have fixed it now I've...

Yes, it would be. That said, with a few exceptions, we wouldn't do that without something in story to support the idea first. We don't usually go with plans mentioned in interviews, because plans...

They are Mantlo creations, and yes, he is unavailable. We always prefer to go back to the original creators, but, in cases where that's not an option, editorial can approve new information.

There's nothing to be confused about. The Young Avengers Vision was created using Iron Lad's malleable armor and some of the Avenger's Vision's programming, but he's a separate entity - think of Mac...

In order of the questions above: yes, cannon is a large projectile weapon while canon is what is shown in print in a comic or handbook, I'm here, am weighing in, and Flex's parentage will be...

Just 616, but there is a little bit of new canon, as the entry provides the real identities of the Derangers.

While to be fair the article is fairly funny, it does take some of Steve's comments out of context (understandable when the cons are such brief summaries, I guess). He's not commenting on Black Cat's...

Just so no one buys under false pretences - there will be a small amount of updating to some entries, but this is primarily a reprint volume. Obviously I hope it sells well, but I don't want anyone...

Pretty much.

I guess nobody spotted the Alphan in the Official Handbook A-Z Update #1 that was released this week? Only a small entry for a minor Alphan (before anyone rushes out and buys it only to be...
