Kid Miracleman: (Marvel Superheroes#388 (fb)) - Among the hero corpses littered around the battling Fury, we saw one in the foreground with a very distinctive collar design. This marks the corpse as one of the Miracleman family, and since we later see both Miracleman and Young Miracleman among the final group of heroes slaughtered by the killer cybiote, this corpse must be the third and youngest member of the trio, Kid Miracleman.

Comments: Johnny Bates, the youngest member of the Marvelman family never had his own comic, unlike his two partners. Perhaps this is why he had turned into a psychotic villain by the time Alan Moore brought him back as an adult a few years later in the Marvelman strip in the U.K. Warrior comic.

Crusader: (Marvel Superheroes#388 (fb)) - We saw the Tallon fighting the Fury alongside two other heroes.

Comments: This hero is the Crusader, a hero created by Alan Davis for a short story. A Batman-like hero, in his own strip he was killed on his very first mission.

Bash Street Bunty: (Marvel Superheroes#388 (fb)) - We saw the Bash Street Bunty fighting the Fury alongside two other heroes.

Comments: This appears to be one of only two Earth-238 heroes not based on actual characters from other strips.

Colonel

(Marvel Superheroes#387) - The Fury remembered battling and killing Colonel Tusker and his killer toys.

(Marvel Superheroes#386) - We saw Tusker's headstone in the hero graveyard.

Comments: Colonel Tusker is based on the Beano character General Jumbo, a young boy who also controlled a miniature toy army.

Tusker's gravestone reads 1961 -197?, but in the reprinted collection this date had been altered to 1971-198?

(Marvel Superheroes#387) - The Fury remembered battling and killing Miracleman.

(Marvel Superheroes#386) - We saw Miracleman's headstone in the hero graveyard.

Comments: Miracleman is based on the Mick Anglo creation Marvelman, who was in turn based on Fawcett Comic's Captain Marvel. Alan Moore would go on to revive this character and eventually take him across the Atlantic, rechristened (ironically) Miracleman.

The Iron

(Daredevils#7 (fb)) - Linda McQuillan had a recurring nightmare about watching her fellow heroes die. She mentioned to her husband Rick that the Iron Tallon had been killed.

(Marvel Superheroes#387) - The Fury remembered battling and killing the Iron Tallon, who could become invisible.

(Marvel Superheroes#388) - We saw the Tallon's headstone in the hero graveyard.

Comments: The Iron Tallon is based on the Steel Claw, a villain with an artificial hand who gained the ability to become invisible by absorbing electricity through his metal hand. Eventually he reformed and became a hero.

I'm fairly sure the figure on the left is the Tallon, as he is wearing a costume very similar to the one briefly worn by the Steel Claw. Also the Steel Claw could fire electricity from his mechanical hand. The resemblance might be a coincidence, but I prefer to think otherwise.

The Tallon's gravestone reads 1942 -1972, but in the reprinted collection this date had been altered to 1952-1982

The

(Marvel Superheroes#386) - We saw the Arachnid's headstone in the hero graveyard.

Comments: The Arachnid is based on the supervillain mastermind the Spider, who eventually reformed and became a crimefighter. For much of his run he was written by Jerry Siegal of Superman fame. He has recently reappeared, much older, in the Jack Staff comic.

(Marvel Superheroes#386) - We saw Gaath's headstone in the hero graveyard.

Comments: Gaath is based on the Daily Mail newspaper strip hero Garth, a superhumanly strong man who adventures throughout history, time traveling from one period to another.

Gaath's gravestone reads 1814 -1972, but in the reprinted collection this date had been altered to 1824-1982.

Android

(Marvel Superheroes#386) - We saw Andy's headstone in the hero graveyard.

Comments: Android Andy is based on Robot Archie, lead character in the Lion comic, who first appeared in the early fifties.

Captain

Comments: Roy Risk is probably based on Dan Dare, hero of the Eagle comic, but he might also be Rick Random, another very similar space hero.

(Marvel Superheroes#386) - We saw Puppetman's headstone in the hero graveyard.

Comments: Puppetman is based on Dolmann, an inventor and crimefighter who appeared in the Valiant comic in the late sixties and early seventies. He battled crime using a variety of high tech puppets.

Comments: Tom Rosetta is based on Tim Kelly, who found the mystic eye of Zoltec which granted him complete invulnerability while wearing it. He appeared in the Valiant comic.

(Captain Britain II#14 (fb)) - Roma repeatedly forced Captain U.K. to remember the death of her husband. But the final time she did so, her memories were different. Now she remembered Rick vanishing before the Fury could kill him.

(Captain Britain II#14) - Roma informed Captain U.K. that she snatched Rick out of time before he died, and so he was still alive. She reunited the happy couple and sent them to deal with the dictator Opul Lun Sat-yr-Nin, who was slaughtering the people of her Earth.

Comments: Rick is based on Dicky Dauntless, a.k.a. Young Marvelman, the partner of Marvelman. He had his own title in Britain in the late fifties and early sixties.
