 INTRODUCTION
by Stan Lee
great idea!
Irrankswayup therewiththediscovery of
fire and the invention of the wheel. Just like them,
i represents anepicmilestone insthehistory ofthe
human race, That why I'm so incredibly proud t©
be writing this intro for a book that mankind has
been hungering for,abook tharis—now and
forever—a shining beacon of wonder, a titanic
tribute to talent unleashed, with the simple but
awesome title of—"The Marvel Encyclopedia.”
Just imagine, within these colorfal pages you'll find
more than a thousand ofMarvels’ most classic
characters, all brilliantly illustrated, withtheir lives
and vital statistics laid bare for your closest scrutiny
and your browsing delight,
On a personal note, [must confess, whenI first
dreamed up some of the more prominent
characters you'll find in this great collectors’
edition, | never dreamed that decades later they
would have achieved the fame and popularity
which they now enjoy. Tes almost impossible to
describe the fe ling of pride, almost mixed with
disbelief, that I fe l when I realize how many great
movies, video games, DVDs, toys and books are
based on these heroes, villains and far-out stories
which we, in the mighty Marvel bullpen, had 50
much fan creating, None of us could have
suspected that our creations would become 50
famous throughout the world that weld one day
find ourvelves featured im a prestigious
encyclopedia
‘And, speaking ofthis extraordinary volume,
when it comes to finding the hero or villain you
may be secking, the publishers, out of the goodness
oftheir fan-loving hearts, have made it as easy for
‘you as recognizing the Hulk in a crowd. They've
put the names of eachand every one—of niore
than a thousand characters—in convenient
alphabetical onder.
Just imagine, starting with the creation of
the
“Fantastic Four,” the world’s greatest comic book
(as we so modestly called it),you'llbe able to find
-
decade-by-decade highlights from Marvel’
fabulous comic book history. Ifyou want toknow
about any ofthemore than one thousand
‘characters featured in this magnificent tome, you've
only to turn to the right letter.
Bot what about the artwork? Glad you asked!
‘You'll find illustrations from theverybestof
Marvel’ amazing army ofartists,pencilers amd
inkers whohavemade theirindelible marks onthe
consciousness ofcomic book fans worldwide.
And, naturally, the accompanying texts ate
written by the most acclaimed seriptwriters in
Marvel galaxy ofgifted scriveners, Every sentence
is a tribute to the greatest Super Hero creations this
side of Asgard.
But that nor all. Realizing that some of the
spectacular characters in our Super Hero stable
have actually achieved such status and fame that
they are now trully worldwide legends, the editors
have wisely decided to accord these special heroes
and villains full-page, or even double-page layouts,
plus a brief guideto their essential storylines
There's so much more that I could say, but if|do
it'll keep me from leaving my computer and
reaching for my beautiful, brand-new Marvel
Encyclopedia which is proudly sitting on my
corner table. It might be my imagination, butI
seem to sce a glow around that voluminous
volume, as though it’illuminated by some
supernatural aura, some mystic radiance emanating
from the combined power of the fantastic
characters within its pages,
T know I must be fantasizing, and yet—as I slowly
reach outtotouchthecoverof thismagnificent
book, Iwonder—as you may wonder, too—what
magic lies within?

BROTHERHOOD OF EviL MUTANTS
Mutant terrorist organization

Founded by Macnero, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants has

remained, through its various incarnations, the opposite number
of the X-Men; while the X-men’s mission has always been to
promote tolerance and co-existence between mutants and
normal humans, the Brotherhood’s goal has been nothing less
than total domination over mankind,and quite possibly the
‘reat heights; su K eradication of normal humans entirely.

MARVEL IN THE

1960s
Although it had published characters like
Captain America, the Human Torch and
the Sub-Mariner in the 1930s, 40s and
50s, the company that would become
Marvel Comics had given up on Super
Heroes when the 1960s began, and was
only publishing monster comics,
westerns and teenage romances.
According to comic book legend,
publisher Martin Goodman heard that
the competition had launched a team of FANTASTIC FOUR #1 (1961) ‘
Super Heroeses thatthat was selling well. He fren
{adeares niseaes

Launched as a bimonthly in 1961, Pons fi
Fantastic Four #1 was
followed by The Incredible
Hulk #1 in 1962. The
same year saw the first
appearances of Spider=
Man in Amazing Fantasy
#15, and Thor in Journey
Into Mystery #83. Spider-
Man received his own title
in 1963, the year that also
premiered Avengers #1,
X-Men #1, Sgt. Fury And
His Howling Commandos #1
and Iron Man in Tales of
Suspense #39. Daredevil #1
appeared in 1964. With the
launch of Nick Fury, Agent of
SHIELD in 1968, Nick
became the first character to
simultaneously star in two
series set during different
time periods: World War II
and the modern era! FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL #3(1965)

MARVEL IN THE

1990s
As the popularity of extended storylines
and multi-title crossovers grew, Marvel
produced more new titles and added
gimmicks like holograms, foil-stamping
and die-cut designs to covers. New
versions of Deathlok and Ghost Rider
joined titles like New Warriors and
Guardians ofthe Galaxy in 1990. “The
Infinity Gauntlet,” the first of
three
major crossovers, arrived in 1991.
“Operation: Galactic Storm” sprawled
across the Avengers-related titles and a SILVER SURFER #50 (1991)

1995 was highlighted by
the “Age of Apocalypse”,
an event that briefly re-

and launched X-Man. The
crossovers “Onslaught” and
“Heroes Reborn,”
dominated 1996 and the
spotlight fell on Heroes For

1997. “Heroes Return” was
the big news in 1998, and

Tom DEFALCO would like to thank Mark Gruenwald who believed that people
would enjoying reading books like this and was the driving force behind the original
Official Handbooks of the Marvel Universe. HOO-HA, my friend!
Tom BREVoORT would like to thank Stan, Jack, Steve and all the rest, for doing the
hard part and coming up with all of these characters and concepts in the first place.
MICHAEL TEITELBAUM Would like to thank Danny Fingeroth for the invaluable
loan of the books and for his generosity in sharing his knowledge of the Marvel

Mike Hobson and John Romita, Sr.for the magazine (nod to Tom I), there as

dad, who—back when you could buy two comic books and a piece of gum for 25
cents—always gave me that quarter.

ANDREW DARLING would like to thank Keith Martin for those hyper-detailed
responses to tricky questions, and the guys at Travelling Man in Manchester, who
rescued me more than once. Big cheers go to Simon Beecroft for putting me
forward for this gig, Alastair Dougall, who kept coming back for more, and Laura
Gilbert, who couldn't quite ge nally, special thanks go to Ruth, who now
knows a lot more about the Marvel Universe than she did, and Elijah—always a
welcome distraction.

DANIEL WALLACE would like to dedicate my work on this book to the memory
of my friend Dan Zoch, who introduced me to Marvel comics.

PETER SANDERSON would like to thank Jeff Christiansen,

Tom Brevoort, Mike
Fichera and Sean McQuaid for helping me resolve some continuity conundrums.
