That's great info, but if you have any more, yes, please post it. You should probs just edit that post in a differant colour or something.
Anyway, could you explain how he created those characters, how the Hulk and wolverine were enlisted and which horseman did they play and why?

If you don't mind, I'd like the Avengers info next...

Well, here's an Avengers chronology...

The Early Years* (my own title covers up to next saga)
The Kree and Skrull War
The Korvac Saga
The Yesterday Quest
The Trial of Yellowjacket
West Coast Avengers (mini series)
Vision Quest
The Masters of Evil
The Collection Obsession
Shi'ar and Kree War**
Bloodlines


** I need to look up the title for this one. It was a massive Avengers crossover where the Shi'ar Empire took over the Kree.

Could you please tell us how the team line up has changed over the years.? (and a quick bio of the characters?)

That Avengers crossover between with the war between the Shi'ar and Kree was titled Galactic Storm.

The original line up in the Avengers was:
Antman
Wasp
Thor
Hulk
Iron Man

The Hulk quit at the end of issue two and was replaced by the revived WWII hero Captain America in issue 4. Issue 16 had a new group of Avengers led by Captain America. These other members were all previously villains. The second lineup in Avengers was:

Captain America
Hawkeye
Scarlet Witch
Quicksilver

The Wasp and Giant Man rejoined the team shortly after this. Giant Man was the new identity for Ant Man.

Cool info. Perhaps a bio on Hawkeye. I've never really known much about him....

Ok, this is just a bit of an experiment. If there is enough positive responses here, we may get a dedicated forum for this.

What is your all time favourite super hero/ villain and why?

If you read any marvel comics, are there any story lines that particularly stand out for you and why?

Do you own any computer/console games that based on marvel heroes and which ones? ( Such as wolverines revenge or spiderman the movie.) Which are the best and worst of these?

Favourite marvel based movie? Spiderman, X-men, X2, Hulk, Daredevil?

Ok, the next bio will be one of Hawkeye.

Hercules joined shortly after the Wasp and Giant Man returned to the team. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch left shortly before the Black Panther joined. Shortly after that Thor, Cap, and Iron Man returned. The Vision was introduced and joined not long after this.

I'm a past X-Men fan, and my interests in the comic series have recently been revived. I read few comics, but I loved the cartooon which I grew up with and gainerd most of my knowlege from.

Anyway, just wondering if you could give me the essential comics that belong in the Age of Apocalypse saga, which ones I should have, and how much it would cost me to go out and buy the saga.

Also, the secret wars was presented in the Spiderman cartoon, no? If so, could you tell me who all the people that were captured and had to fight in the war were, and how much it'd cost me to collect this storyline as well?

For the Age of Apocalypse the regular titles were suspended for four months and new titles were introduced for the duration of AoA. These are the ones that i have, although there may have been one or two that i missed.

X-Men: Alpha
This was a one-shot that gave an overview of the AoA. Its got a cool shiny cover! I'm lucky enough to have bought it at retail price.

Amazing X-men issues 1-4

Astonishing X-Men issues 1-4

These were about the new X-men, lead by Magneto.

Factor-X

Generation Next

X-Calibre issues 1-4

i dont know much about these ones, I foolishly didnt pick them up.


Weapon X issues 1-4

This one was my favourite title of the AoA. It's about Logan and Jean's adventures as renegade mutant couriers. Real Good!

Gambit and the X-Ternals 1-4

About Gambit and his band of renegade mutants, the X-ternals. This title was awesome because I love Gambit and Jubilee and they were both in the X-Ternals.


X-Man 1-4
This is about Nate Grey, a mutant who was introduced for AoA, and the only aspect of the AoA that carried on into the normal X-Men continuity.

X-Men Omega
Another one shot that wrapped up the whole saga and reinstated the normal X-Men continuity.

If i missed any let me know!

Awesome info Mantis. The next question is, Where can we pick those titles up from.
Maybe not in comic form but in a combined issue graphic novel or something?

Also (I fear to ask) how much would the entire package cost?

Any chance on a Deadpool bio?

I know how you feel. I bought a comic yesterday (X-men) that was £1.90. Considering all the available ones on sale that pretty expensive.

Hey, I just found this.

Hmm, bad news they don't appear in collected form. Maybe in time....

Mantis, there was also a two issue X-Universe series which chronicled the other Marvel Heroes. There have been collected volumes of each four issue series. I don't know if they are still in print or not. Each one had a gold foil cover.
