The X-Men team profile from the original Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe. Compiled by Mark Gruenwald and Peter Sanderson with new artwork by Uncanny X-Men artist Paul Smith and the tech-y schematics by Eliot R. Brown.
There's a few mix-ups. Marvel Girl, Angel, Wolverine and Storm should be depicted in the costumes they were wearing when they joined the team and Kitty Pryde should also have a second listing under the alias Sprite. Arguably Multiple Man (who was working as Moira MacTaggert's assistant) could be included alongside the allies.

Reactions As I Read:
● issue 100! let's see if they do anything cool with it
● now, I get that he has supersenses, but things like him driving decently or flying a craft sort of strain my suspension of disbelief…
● now we got Jann Wenner, editor of Rolling Stone…
● flashback of the accident that blinded Matt
● oh god, mention of Mike Murdock. just when I'd finally erased him from my memory…
● shared hallucination?
● (I just looked it up, and Jann Wenner was actually the editor of Rolling Stone. I wonder what sort of marketing ploy this was back in the day…)
● ah, no one except Daredevil seems to remember the hallucination
● so apparently there will come a blood-curdling scream, then all the hallucinations happen. weird… actually kinda legit creepy
● too bad Daredevil can't see the awesomeness that is the sky:
● Angar the Screamer looks like he doesn't smell great
● 👏👏👏
Synopsis:
Following the events of Avengers #111 the Black Widow chose to stay with the Avengers while Daredevil returned to San Francisco. Upon returning to the city Matt suited up as Daredevil busts up some crooks and begins experiencing some hallucinations. The crime in question that he foiled was that of a robbery of the Rolling Stones magazine offices.
Daredevil speaks with Jann Wenner the editor whom invites him back to the offices after the motive of the robbery seems unclear. While at the office Jann asks Daredevil for an interview which Matt agrees to. Declining to share his secret identity but recants a brief summary of his origin to Jann leaving out most of the details but thinking the rest to himself. Eventually Jann gets fed up of Daredevil's constant daydreaming but before he can finish the thought Daredevil hears a ruckus from the streets below. He goes to investigate just as a massive hallucination overtakes him; he then begins perceiving characters from his past coming to confront him. Upon snapping back to reality Daredevil realizes it's not an isolated incident as Jann explains that this has happened before, but only Daredevil remembers the events of the hallucinations where the others can't remember its contents and simply feel as if they awoke from a bad dream.
In a hurried state Daredevil phones Lt. Paul Carson and asks about the odd events. Lt. Carson confirms that there have been multiple incidents and they all occur after a scream. Daredevil hangs up just as another scream is heard like he had heard earlier and dashes towards it. When he makes it to its source he comes face to face with the one responsible for the hallucinations… Angar the Screamer.

I have less citations for these than I have in earlier posts-- I think the idea of Mary Jane getting a symbiote has been done a couple of times, but most notably in Gerry Conway’s Renew Your Vows series. The bigger concept of symbiotes being Green Lantern Corps adjacent space knights originated in Brian Michael Bendis’s run on Guardians of the Galaxy, which is an idea that I am absolutely in love with. (The poses and designs of the alien species are all from the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, if you were wondering.) And Misty Knight using Dr. Spectrum’s Power Prism to create a prosthetic is an idea that I’ve done with Hal Jordan before, but I think I prefer it in this context.
I don’t think anyone else has done an alternate reality version of the Fantastic Four where they got their powers by recklessly performing Satanic rituals instead of recklessly journeying into space, but if that has been done already, I apologize for not knowing who to attribute that to. (I think they’re also the first villains I’ve done, besides Green Goblin as Captain America.)
