    Don't feel bad, KM. I had four days off work, and i spent them in front of the computer and the DVD player. Can't say i accomplished anything of real worth...

    It's usually me who does it, but I've been lazy as of late.
    Not meaning to chastise. I just wondered if it had slipped past the normally eagle-eyed readers here.

    OK Issue #7 of the HC is out.

    Major Mapleleaf Jr has an entry, but watch for the nanotech scorpions... yeah, I'm just still, uh, no. Anyway, we already covered that topic.

    Also, you can see Zombie Guardian in the entry for Marvel Zombies.

    The Master has an entry, too.

    The recent events in X-Infernus are mentioned briefly in Magik's entry, so Witchfire gets a shout out, no images, but hey, nice touch.

    Oh, I discovered a Puck cameo as well... in Magneto's entry, one of the illustrations is a portion of the cover for Alpha Flight #33:



    with giant Puck behind Magneto.

    Just got vol. 8 yesterday and Nemesis (St. Ives), Northstar, Omega Flight (Jaxon's), Omega Flight (Master's), Omega Flight (Canadian Government's) & Pestilence (Crozier) all had entries. Also, you get to see Guradian, Shaman, Snowbird, Aurora, Northstar, Puck, Sasquatch and Wild Child (along with Logan & Creed) in the Mutant X-Verse entry as well.

    Yup, Marrina and Mar made it into volume 9. Here's a rundown:

    Marrina - in two illustrations in the 1pg Plodex entry
    Mar- in the Plodex entry
    Puck- in his own 2pg entry, and also very tiny in the Plodex entry
    Puck (Zuzha Yu) - in her own 1pg entry
    Nemesis - OK this isn't really an appearance but the tip of her middle finger appears in the illustration for Mar in the Plodex entry
    Radius- has a 1/2 pg entry
    Aurora- appears in Sabretooth's entry, an image taken from the cover of X-Men #188

    In the Puck entry, there is an illustration with parts of Heather, Shaman, Talismanand Wildheart from AF# 127.

    I see they mentioned that Puck's durability weakened over time, anyone remember that talk we had in this thread? Hmmm...

    Yes. Which is why the entry got modified. We listen to feedback. Leaving him at the higher level wasn't an option, as we checked with Steve Seagle who confirmed that Puck's superhuman power levels had faded by the time of that incarnation of Alpha Flight. It might not be the answer you wanted to hear, but you can take some solace that we haven't overlooked Puck's old power level and that we did listen to the feedback.

    No I'm happy with it as there was no explanation before, but this greatly clears things up. Thanks

    Now what about Sasquatch?

    Major Mapleleaf Jr.'s horse, Thunder, makes an appearance in the Marvel Pets Handbook.

    Solicit from Marvel

    He's on the page, "Miscellaneous Pets", bleh, he should have had his own entry, but that's OK. You can see part of MMLJR's arm, too. Interestingly, he's one of FOUR Thunders in the Handbook: there were three other steeds from Western-themed comics in the 50s and 60s.

    You can see Marrina, Northstar, Aurora and Sasquatch in a small inset from Marvel Team-Up Annual #7 in the entry for The Collector's Pets.

    Volume 10 has Sasquatch on the cover!

    And entries for
    Sasquatch 3pg with images also of Heather and Mac in battle armor
    Shaman 2pg with images also of Northstar and Heather
    Snowbird 2pg with an image of Sasquatch

    Also, in the entry for Secret Defenders, Northstar has a head shot.

    In Sasquatch's entry there's an odd mention of the events in Cat's Paw, the Alpha Flight module from the TSR Marvel Super-Heroes RPG, as if it were in continuity. Strange. I asked the writers about it on the official forum, I wonder what's up with that?

    Gah! Got to get this

    As Sasquatch, he possesses enhanced senses, superhuman durability, strength (lifting 90 tons) and regenerative abilities. He has occasionally demonstrated significantly greater strength, possibly via unconsciously and dangerously drawing on Tanaraq’s power.

    With a note that he has also worn armor which enhanced him to 100 tons (when he fought Juggernaut), and that as Box he could lift 85 tons.
