Lines: 29 From: Mike Ciaraldi Anyone care to guess who is going to die? Based on the coming attractions in Marvel Age magazine, it can't be Aurora or Sasquatch, since they show up in #14. So, who is expendable? A few ideas: Snow-bird? Naw, not used enough yet. Puck? Maybe, he has an interesting personality, but the others are unformed enough that they could take over. Marina? There are a lot of untied plot threads conncerning her, but there is at leastr another egg lying around that could replace her. Jean-Paul? Personality-wise, he is the most mercenary, but also somewhat bland. However, getting rid of him would remove one of his sister's powers. (unless she carried his corpse around, I suppose. Then he could be known as Deadman--whoops, already taken). Shaman? Also underutilized, but doesn't really add that much to the team, especially with Snow-bird able to handle some of the mystical stuff. A supporting character? The only steady one is Mrs. Hudson, Guardian's wife, who I admit liking a lot. Seeing as she was kidnapped in #11, I assume she is a prime candidate. Any other ideas? Mike Ciaraldi ciaraldi@rochester
