adamantium. 

according to marvel.com, he does: 

"Weapons: Sabretooth's skeleton has been bonded with the 
indestructible metal Adamantium."

I'm pretty sure that Sabretooth's adamantium was removed after a 
while, by Apocalypse if memory serves me correctly (and it probably 
doesn't...); at any rate, I do remember an issue of Gambit (#14?) 
dealing with the repercussions of his adamantium removal.

Because you all care:

Sabes first showed up with an adamantium-laced skeleton in Wolverine 
v2 #126.  We learned that his adamantium had been removed in Gambit 
v3 #9, we saw it removed by Apocalypse and given to Wolverine (in 
flashback) in Wolverine v2 #145, and Sabes got his *new* one from 
the all-new Weapon X program (and it was revealed that he got his 
first one from the same people) in the #160s of Wolvie v2.

Iron Man (The Crossing/Onslaught/now)
Posted by Thomas N. LeBeau on January 01, 2002 at 19:51:39:

Someone, please, I've been trying to find this out for years...How 
did Iron Man get killed off, then the Avengers went to an alternate 
past, get a young Tony Stark, bring him back, he goes into Onslaught, 
then the whole year goes by, comes back the 'old' Tony?  Did Marvel 
ever explain this?  Things seem amiss if they did not.

Basically, when Franklin Richards sent the heroes to the Heroes 
Reborn world, he turned several of them back to how he remembered 
them -- Hawkeye no longer had damaged hearing, the Wasp lost her 
insectoid body, and Tony Stark was turned back into an adult.  When 
they returned to the normal earth, Tony could remember three distinct 
lives -- himself as the original Tony Stark, who went bad and was 
killed by the alternate teen version, as well as the Heroes Reborn 
version of himself.  The memories soon faded, and he was acquitted 
of the deaths 'he' had caused when Kang/Immortus controlled him, but 
he didn't feel that was enough so he beefed up his armor's safeguards 
to keep himself from being mentally controlled again.

Hulk circa 440-445
Posted by Jason P. on January 03, 2002 at 02:09:25:

Just wanted to point out what I see as a slight error in your Hulk 
chronology.  You've got:
H2 440
C2 34
H2 444-FB
H2 444
H2 445

But the flashback in 444 occurs before Cable 34.  That, in addition 
to Hulk's appearance in 443--you should have gotten my e-mail about 
that--means it should be:
H2 440
H2 443
H2 444-FB
C2 34
H2 444
H2 445

(I think I may have implied in my e-mail that Janis is in Cable 34 
too, but that was wrong of me.)  Hope this is helpful!  Long live 
the MCP.

Legion of Night and Tomb of Dracula
Posted by Andy Holcombe on January 08, 2002 at 17:14:45:

A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across two Marvel prestige stories 
from 1991, I think: a two issue Legion of Night series by Steve Gerber 
and Whilice Portacio featuring Jennifer Kale and a four issue Tomb of 
Dracula series by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan in the Epic imprint 
featuring Dracula, Frank Drake, Blade, and Frank's wife (Marianne?), 
and possibly the ressurected spirit of Rachel van Helsing.  I was 
wondering if y'all had heard of these before and if so, had they 
been deemed in or out of continuity.  I'm not overly familiar with 
any of the characters but I didn't see anything in the Legion of 
Night that contradicted the couple of Jennifer Kale appearances I 
have.  As for Tomb of Dracula, the series takes place after the fight 
that kills Dracula and Quincy Harker that, I presume, ended the 
original Tomb of Dracula.  Also, Rachel van Helsing is dead and 
Frank Drake has married his wife.  Dracula is resurrected at the 
site of the battle with Harker.  Blade ends the series in a mental 
institution.  Based on the little that I know of the original Tomb 
of Dracula, I believe that this is supposed to be Dracula's first 
appearance after his death at the hands of Quincy Harker.  However, 
Rachel van Helsing is killed in the X-Men annual by Dracula who is 
dead at the begining of this series.  This series also refers to 
Rachel's death, but does not name Dracula as being responsible for 
it.  Frank Drake presumes that vampires got her, but does not name 
the one responible.  In fact he envisions several vampires ganging 
up on her.  I don't know if or how Dracula may have died again after 
the original Tomb of Dracula, but his remains in this mini-series 
are clearly mixed in with the remains of Quincy Harker.  
Alternatively, Rachel van Helsing was not killed by Dracula, merely 
by a vampire masquerading as Dracula.  All of the appearances of 
"Dracula" since the end of Tomb of Dracula may have been by this or 
other imposters, as Dracula is dead again by the end of the mini-
series.  There are some hints that this story is also after the 
Vampiric Verses storyline in Dr. Strange because, Frank remarks 
that the vampires are quiet and he hasn't seen any sine of vampires 
for some time.  The story appears to move Frank Drake and Blade to 
where they were at the begining of Nightstalkers, Frank and his wife 
living quietly away from the supernatural and Blade in an asylum.  
Any thoughts?

Legion of Night was intended to be in-continunity at the time it was 
published, and I'm not aware of anything that might have changed that.

Tomb of Dracula (1991) was out-of-mainstream-MU-continunity.  Thats 
why it was published under the Epic banner.  It is basicly Wolfman & 
Colan's attempt to pick up Tomb of Dracula where they left off, 
ignoring Dracula's appearnces in other Marvel comics since ToD was 
canceled.  I suppose, for continunity's sake, it could be considered 
to be an alternate universe, diverging from the mainstream MU sometime 
shortly after the last issue of the original Tomb of Dracula series.

And we'll add those appearances, for the most part as the Gap is 
closed. As we reached the end of 1992, we ran across some previews 
of 2099, and so we added a 2099 section, kind of like the Killraven 
Mythos section. I don't think the link shows up in the navigation 
bar of the Posting Board, but it's available from the main pages. We 
originally had a question in the FAQ about why 2099 wasn't included, 
but that's since been removed.

I should caution everyone that I only have the first twelve issues 
or so of each of the 2099 titles, so after closing out 1993, I'll 
probably ask for help on filling out the remainder of the series.

Metal Master- Hulk 6
Posted by Dennis Lee on January 10, 2002 at 01:12:54:

I noticed that the Metal Master, who first appeared in Incredible 
Hulk # 6 (Mar 1963), was apparently not listed in the continuity 
project.  As I recall, there was a reference in the Handbook of the 
Marvel Universe, Deluxe Edition, # 15, under Appendix- Alien Races, 
stating that the Metal Master had subsequently encountered Rom and 
been defeated.  Does anyone know if the Metal Master made other 
appearances?  Will he get an entry in the continuity project?

Logan: Path of the Warlord
Posted by garbonzo on January 13, 2002 at 11:26:46:

All this Origin business got me thinking about other forays into 
Logan's past.  I have a copy of Logan: Path of the Warlord from 
February 1996.  The tag line reads "Before the X-Men, Before 
Wolverine, Before Weapon X."  His claws are never used (In fact, 
he resorts to using a knife in the opening battle scene.)

It appears to have taken place shortly after WWII.

Have I found a missing piece of continuity...or have I merely 
re-hashed a tired plot point from everyone else's collection?

There are two of these one-shots written by Howard Mackie; the other 
one being Shadow Society leads into Barry Windsor-Smith's Weapon-X 
serial in Marvel Comics Presents.  Path of the Warlord establishes 
at least some of the backstory on Wolverine's relationship with Rose 
from the Princess Bar and Landu, Luckman, and Lake.

I believe that Path of the Warlord takes place sometime before 
Shadow Society.  The end of Shadow Society is reminiscient of the 
begining of Barry Windsor-Smith's Weapon X saga.  From there he 
joins up with Alpha Flight and then, the X-Men.  So Path of the 
Warlord has to come first, even though Logan is freelance in Path 
and is with the Canadian government in Shadow Society.  Apparently, 
he left government service for a while (possibly after the breakup 
of Team X) to freelance, including for Landu, Luckman, and Lake 
before returning to Canadian Intelligence.

Iron Fist's sister...
Posted by mikeo' on January 14, 2002 at 06:49:50:

...Miranda Rand (Death Sting) is missing Iron Fist (vol I) #2 from 
her appearance list. She made her first appearance in the issue long 
flashback in that issue. Her chronology should read:

Iron Fist (vol I) #2 (Flashback)
Iron Fist (vol III) #1 
Iron Fist (vol III) #2 
Iron Fist (vol III) #3

A corpse that was supposed to be Miranda Rand was shown in Power 
Man/Iron Fist #75, but with Miranda appearing alive in Iron Fist 
(vol III) #1-3, can it be assumed that the corpse may have been a 
H'ylthri ruse to make Iron Fist assume she was dead?

Chronology correction
Posted by David Smith on January 15, 2002 at 07:27:28:

It's been over a year since I last posted this. As there were no 
replies and nothing has changed in the MCP, I'm thinking perhaps 
this was lost in the shuffle.

Shanna's appearances in RH and SVT are out of order.

Her chronology should look like this:

                RH 9/2-FB
                SSD 1
                SSD 2
                SSD 3
                SSD 4
                SSD 5
                KZ2 1
                KZ2 2
                DD 111-FB
                DD 109
                M/TIO 3
                DD 110
                DD 111
                DD 112
                DD 113
                DD 117
                SVT 8
                SVT 9/2
                SVT 10/2
                RH 9/2
                M/FAN 56
                .
                .
                .

The reasons are:

1) The savage tales and Rampaging Hulk stories must take place after 
Shanna's own series as one by one, her supporting cast is killed off.

2) SVT 8 is a Ka-zar and Shanna team-up where the two already know 
each other whereas Kz2 1 is their first meeting (and thus svt8 takes 
place sometime after kz2 2)

3) kz2 2 leads into the dd storyline for Shanna, thus the savage tales 
appearance have to be after that storyline.

4) the M/FAN storyline was, IIRC, the unpunlished continuation of the 
SVT and RH storyline.

Also you have the SVT 8 in red text (indictating first published 
appearance?), while I don't have the issues handy at the moment, I 
do believe Shanna's first published appearance was SSD 1 (1971/2-ish) 
not SVT 8 (1974/5-ish).

You factor in all three movies, both live action series', his two

that's more contradictions than a box full of Archies! Besides, 
Deathlok is similar to Robocop enough. And despite how he IS part of

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty 11
Posted by David Smith on January 16, 2002 at 06:39:59:

I think there maybe an error regarding CA:SL2 11. It is listed as 
being between FF 26 and A 5 in Cap's Chronology and between ST 121 
and FF 27 in the Human TOrches Chronology. This issue is a retelling 
of ST 114 wrapped in a framing story of Cap and Johnny on their way 
to stopping the Acrobat from robbing a bank. On the way, Johnny tells 
Cap of his adventure in ST 114. The frame sequence gives no real clue 
as to when the story takes place other than Johnny's placing of ST 
114 as "It Happened YEARS AGO, not long after the Fantastic Four 
became Fantastic". Since 1963's ST 114 is only a little over a year 
REAL TIME (less than a few months Marvel time?) prior to 1964's 
Avengers 5, it is clear that the frame sequence MUST take place at 
a much later date than is specified in the MCP. As there are no 
other clues it is best to assume that this is a contemporary story 
(IE takes place around the same time as the other circa July 1999 
books).

Not sure exactly where it SHOULD be placed. at a guess, somewhere 
around FF3 23 (a common point for both heroes from roughly the same 
time frame.

Oh, and the retelling does contain one new scene of interest to Cap's 
chronology, (He, he, he), There is a three panel "meanwhile in the 
artic" where Cap is on ice putting CA:SL2 11 - FB between CA 220-FB 
and A 4

Anyone else's thoughts?

I thnk you are looking for Giant-Size Werewolf by Night #2.  The 
MCP (this site) also shows the Frankenstien stories in Monsters 
Unleashed as happening between Frankenstien Monster #12 & 13, which 
makes sense, but the story that the monster is returning from in 
Frankenstien Monster #13 is Giant-Size Werewolf by Night #2

> and the number 18 (last issue) the series finish in a climax with

It hasn't been written yet (according to this site:

1948 Vintage Captain America Comic
Posted by Hasdrubal on January 25, 2002 at 03:48:02:

In the 1980's, I purchased a 1948 vintage Captain America comic for 
$3.00.  It had no cover and is probably worth very little more than 
when I bought it.  I am trying to discover which issue number it was, 
and what the cover looked like. The first story is titled "The Outcast 
of Time".  A second Captain America story in the same comic features 
Cap's partner Sun Girl, who had replaced Bucky.  The story with Cap 
& Sungirl is titled "The Mystery of the Deadly Dreams". Can you 
suggest some one knowledgeable to contact. From the same vendor I 
also purchased a Human Torch Number 29.  I would like to find a 
picture of its cover.

Check again to see if the female is Sun Girl or Golden Girl.  Sun 
Girl was the Human Torch's female partner, and Golden Girl was 
Captain America's.  Golden Girl was featured in Captain America 
Comics #66 to 74, and it doesn't sound like issue #66, so that 
narrows it down to 8 issues.  There was a website with many of 
the Timely/Marvel Comic covers featured, but I can't recall what 
the name of it is right off hand. 

If you could re-post your question on the Golden Age of Marvel 
Squad Message Board, I am sure someone could help you.  

I will try to get back to you with some other information when I

Comic Book Database.  It has a cover gallery of all the old comic 
books, with story titles and credits.

I looked through issues 66-74 and didn't find the stories you 
mentioned.  It could be another Captain America title, but I am 
not sure which. I don't believe USA Comics, which featured Cap, 
was still publishing in the Golden Girl era. It could be All-Winners 
or some other title.

There is also an All-Winners Squad fan club and chat room, which 
has excellent resources.

In case you are still trying to figure out which comic you have, 
it is Captain America #73

It took a while to find my way back here.  I was incorrect, Golden 
Girl was Cap's side kick in issue number 73.  The issue in question 
is definitely #73.  The first story is named on the cover.  Just for 
fun a made a Poser 4 figure model of Golden Girl.  Do you think 
anyone would be interested in a picture of her in action?

Set in Moon Knight limited series; how does that fit in with other 
version of Set in Marvel Universe?
Posted by John Mc Donagh on January 27, 2002 at 18:18:28:

     Yes, the appearance of Set in the first Moon Knight mini-series 
released after the cancellation of the Platt issues did not seem to 
jibe with the ATLANTIS ATTACKS storyline. Could it have been Seth 
from THOR#240 or.........(admitted longshot) Apocolypse?

      Feel free to e-mail me about this.

Early Spider-Man chronology questions...
Posted by Trent Rosby on January 28, 2002 at 09:05:17:

Could someone help point out the flashback sequences in the following 
comics, all listed very early in Spider-Man's chronology?

ASM 38-FB - I can't find anything here, granted I'm looking at a 
reprint, but I think it's complete.

XF 139-FB and IM:IA 2, I (quickly) paged through these at a local 
comic shop, but couldn't find anything pertaining to Spider-Man.  
Perhaps I missed a brief Peter Parker cameo?

	In IM:IA 2, Peter appears in just one panel, watching TV as 
Iron Man unmasks the Tony Stark imposter.

Alex Power
Posted by mikeo' on January 28, 2002 at 09:48:42:

It was revealed in Power Pack Holiday Special 1991 that the Alex 
Power (Mass Master II) in:

PP 56
PP 57
PP 58
PP 59
FF@ 23
PP 59
PP 60
PP 61
PP 62
M/SH3 6/2
XCAL 29-FB
XCAL 29
PP 62

was actually a pseudoplasm construct, not the true Alex Power. 
Power was imprisoned in space by the Snarks during this time.

Spear of Destiny?
Posted by Gary M. Miller on January 30, 2002 at 21:32:49:

Hey all,

Anyone know if the legendary Spear of Destiny has made an appearance 
in the Marvel Universe?  I know it's been all over DC, but looking 
only for Marvel here.:-)  I was figuring if there was one place, it 
might be in Invaders....anyone know for sure?

Thanks in advance!

-Gary

The only mention of the Spear of Destiny that I've ever seen in a 
Marvel comic is in CAPTAIN MARVEL #29, which went on sale this last 
week (February 27th, 2002).  In that issue, Starfox tells Genis/Rick 
and Spider-Man 2099 (and his brother, Gabriel) that the villain 
Thanatos stabbed him through the throat with the Spear of Destiny 
and then used the spear to insert chronoparticles into his throat 
to keep the injury "temporally inert" so that Starfox could go and 
find Genis and bring him to Thanatos...or else.

Now, since Thanatos was a villain from the SPIDER-MAN 2099 series 
(that I didn't collect), I can't say whether or not the Spear of 
Destiny ever appeared or was mentioned during the first Thanatos 
story.  Sorry.

minor additions
Posted by Jhaeman on January 31, 2002 at 01:56:43:

Here's a few more pathetic loser-villains, languishing in obscurity:
Mr. Fish        Luke Cage # 29
Negator         Marvel Two-In-One # 88
Hemlock         Marvel Premiere # 44
Trixter         Daredevil # 241
Demon Druid(Ultimus?)     Captain American # 256
Sultan           Captain America # 265, 266

Maybe we'll get lucky and Scourge will finish them all off in a 
single panel of rapid gunfire :)

Question about placement of UX 167 with FF 249-250
Posted by Donald Gillikin on January 31, 2002 at 13:26:23:

In UX #167 (19th story page panel 4) Gladiator tells Lilandra that 
upon arriving on Earth, he "unintentionally came into conflict with 
the Fantastic Four." There is a footnote saying that this conflict 
refers to FF#249-350.

However, the mid-nineties update of the "Official Marvel Index to 
the X-Men" places UX #167 well before FF #249-250, a placement which 
is repeated on the MCP.  

Is the reference to Gladiator having already fought the FF in the 
issue of Uncanny X-Men in question regarded as a topical reference, 
or is it just something that various chronologists have missed?

Moving UX 167 to after FF #249 forces one to adjust before and after 
appearances in  H2#277-279 and CoC#1-3, among others.

Regards,

Donald

Well, I can say that our treatment is based on the Marvel Index, so 
the discussion should treat both of these combined as one authority, 
not two.
