I remember seeing it here too, but not sure if it was the romance thread or a cover contest or something else, but I remember it was a psychadelic era romance comic mag. -M

He did play a role in the Runaways series (though not a combative one if I remember correctly) and appeared in both the Batman/Daredevil; cross-overs in the 90s facing off with Bats and Rhas al Ghul. -M

I either owned it, or still do. But I think mrp is right, it was a background role.

The Kingpin was one of the Prime Movers in the "Acts of Vengeance" crossover event.
I've got a vague memory that he had a run-in with Cloak and Dagger in Strange Tales.
He also appears in Herc and Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive, but I haven't read these so I don't know if he has direct confrontations with the lead characters.

Just been reading a late 1986 issue of Amazing Spider-Man, guest starring X-Factor. I'm really not an X-Men fan, but, as I understand it, X-Factor brought the original five X-Men together into their own spin-off group - seperate from the regular X-Men.
My question is how come the members of X-Factor seem to have regressed. For example, why does Beast look like he did in the Silver Age, instead of being blue and hairy, and why is Jean Grey being referred to as Marvel Girl, rather than Phoenix or Black Queen or whatever she was called after she was resurrected?

For example, why does Beast look like he did in the Silver Age, instead of being blue and hairy, and why is Jean Grey being referred to as Marvel Girl, rather than Phoenix or Black Queen or whatever she was called after she was resurrected? OK, this is a little complicated, but here goes... The Avengers found a cocoon at the bottom of Jamaica Bay which, when Reed Richards managed to get it open for them, proved to contain Jean Grey, Marvel Girl, who had been in there in stasis for some years (ever since Uncanny X-Men #100). She had no memory of having been Phoenix for the simple reason that Phoenix, we were told, was actually a cosmic entity which had made a deal with the heavily irradiated Jean: save her life, in return for temporarily usurping it. Phoenix was never the real Jean Grey, she just believed she was. Later, we found out Jean still had a connection to the Phoenix force, but that came much later. At this point, as far as she was concerned, she was still Marvel Girl. The Beast is simpler: Hank MCoy was captured by an old enemy who tried to steal his mutant powers but was interrupted halfway through, succeeding only in reverting him to his former appearance. A few years later, the mutant Infectia restored him to his blue, furry form.

^^ Thanks, ting. That's a very clear explanation, actually.

My questions will build off of that (thanks for that explanation!)
1. What Avengers issue (or issue in general) do they find Jean? 2. How was her resurrection received? Generally fans tend to be split on the revival of a character thought to be gone or dead.

Generally fans tend to be split on the revival of a character thought to be gone or dead. Jean's cocoon was found in Avengers #263, but we found out what it contained in Fantastic Four #286 both were dated Jan '86). The Avengers initially thought the cocoon was another creation of the Enclave, like Him and Her. As for the reaction...split just about covers it. There were comments from some who were pleased as they thought she should never have been killed off in the first place, and from others who were angry as they thought her resurrection cheapened a classic storyline, but it certainly got people talking, which was probably the point! One thing nobody seemed to be was ambivalent...

I thought bringing Barry and Hal back from the dead was dopey also, but It just keeps the story going along for other readers. Tony Stark was killed in the terrible Crossings Storyline , but they sort of disavowed all knowledge of that story. Whatever works to keep the stories moving forward, I guess.
