Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="I need clarification"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="FoK"]This guy has somehow made being a retarded fanboy seem... not retarded. The site is (and I feel strange saying this) really well written. I'm confused. Reality is crashing down. People don't make personal websites like this. [/quote] A lot of the Marvel Directory is taken from the 'Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe,' which was a limited series that came out in the 80s. (I think they took two or three runs through it back then -- one for the living that took up 16 issues, one for the dead that took up 5 or 6, and then I believe they did another quick run to update on characters introduced while the first series was going on). Peter Sanderson wrote and researched most of the entries, and the ones on Marvel Directory seem to be more or less his work verbatim, with certain updates for things that have happened in the last 10 years. Sanderson's job for three years there was to basically read every Marvel comic and make note of who did what, and then write bios on all the characters. Not a bad gig. the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey![/quote] It did look like a bad cut-and-paste job, as in this verbatim section from the Professor X page: <I>"Against an alien calling himself Lucifer, the advance scout for an invasion by his race. In retaliation, Lucifer dropped a huge stone block on Xavier, crippling his legs. University and in London."</I> Who needs verbs when you have all those nouns?[/quote]
