I'd like something to be done with her...Not just languishing in permanent limbo.

I'm still a little confused in regards to Marrina. Did she die as the Leviathan? I'm positive she appeared in an Avengers comic where she was seen in a container. Something to do with the Master? The Master said she slept a false sleep beneath the Sea. Not sure what the OHTTMU (whatrever version says).

Where's Loki (and I mean the Alpha Waves member, not the god) when you need him?

You didn't imagine it. The Avengers were dealing with Plodex that were generated from her. Ms. Marvel just missed seeing her body being held in stasis. What happened to her when the complex dissolved has never been revealed.

And long live Mar! I wouldn't mind seeing him again as well...

Scroll halfway down on this page:

to see Loki's response about Marrina being alive. And also a little pic.

Marvel's been dropping the ball regularly with regards to Alpha Flight since issue #29 .

Has anyone else been waiting for her to resurface?

Pun intended?
I've just been waiting to get my hands on the bust they made of her. Finally caved and ebayed it yesterday, though I hates ebay. (We'll see if it comes or not... sigh.)

There's been plenty to imply that she's still alive.
Also, I don't know the exact properties of the magic sword used to kill her, but if it were a standard blade it probably wouldn't have been long enough to get through her skull in leviathan form -- not and cause any real damage anyway.
Though maybe the enchantment on it gets around that?
(It's Black Knight's ebon blade, btw.)

(1) In the Marvel Team-up Annual, the Collector had a ship full of Plodex, some of whom got dumped into the ocean. Could one (or more) still be lurking somewhere beneath the waves?

(2) I totally agree with Johnny Canuck: everything from AF# 29 doesn't make much sense: Northstar and Puck never should have believed that Lionel Jeffries was their only hope, for starters.

(3) Coupled with what has happened to the team in the last ten years, I feel sorry for whoever attempts to revive Alpha Flight (I sent in my idea, to no avail). It will be nearly impossible to please everybody with the convoluted continuity of dead/temporal copies. This may be the reason why nothing has happened to bring them back since they were "killed off."

We already have "in continuity" established clues to her possible "survival"...Her body must have healed itself during her death-like sleep in her ocean tomb or Llan the Sorcerer would never have suggested the Master retrieve her body (she was "killed" by the Ebony Blade) and that she slept a "false death".

Namor discovered that her soul (or a demonic succubus posing as her, the story wasn't terribly clear on this) was trapped within the Ebony Blade (or at least, an extra-dimensional realm tied to it), as well as with all it's other victims (The first Black Knight/Sir Percy, Victoria Bently, Andromeda, Sean Dolan, various knights, etc....). Namor seemingly released her soul from the blade at the story's end. Was it really Marrina's soul? Did she move on to some sort of afterlife? Is she back in her body or is it a soul-less Plodex killing machine (all instinct and no humanity)? That's all up to any future writer who may wish to bring her back.

[Le Messor]

True that.

BTW, I believe the cover of the Namor issue with him freeing her soul is pictured on the box for the bust -- yep, it came! Yay!

Marrina alive? Preview art from Dark Reign: The List - X-Men in this week's Dark Reign: The List - Avengers shows a big Leviathan thingy sent by Norman Osborne to attack Atlantis. It could be her... unfortunately Wolverine chops up the creature's eyes, that sucks. I wonder if it's Marrina or some other green Plodexey thingy?

could be one of the kids. thus another tie in for another Alpha Flight...I can always hope

[cmdrkoenig67]

I doubt it was her, she's still in a coma or suspended animation somewhere (I'm guessing)...And I doubt it was one of her kids...They were humanoid in appearance, not to say they couldn't transform into giant sea serpents (truthfully, there's no way Marrina should have been able to).

We actually saw one of her kids transform into a sea serpent in Sub-Mariner Annual #4. It was actually bigger and more powerful then his mother, but eventually it was killed by Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker
