     Going almost unnoticed right now in the Marvel universe is a
real secret war.  In a number of Marvel titles, an unknown being
has been going around wasting villains.  So far, this person has
attempted, and in most cases succeeded to kill the following 
villains:
     Enforcer (killed in IRON MAN)
     Miracle Man (in THING)
     Hate-Monger (killed in FANTASTIC FOUR or SECRET WARS II)
     Megatak (killed in THOR)
     Constrictor (still alive:  attempt in CAPTAIN AMERICA)
There is at least one more that I can't remember at the moment.  I
see no discernible pattern to these attacks except that:
     a.  They all occur in the New York area ( I think, at least )
 and b.  This all started around the time that SWII started.

     Has anything on this showed up in the fan press?  I mean, 
they killed at least 4 or 5 villains off now, including one of 
their oldest ( Miracle Man, FANTASTIC FOUR #3 ).  These changes
are more radical than the ones in Secret Wars!  I mean, like,
*death*, ya know?

     Also, while we're discussing weird crossovers, I'd like to
mention something a friend of mine recently pointed out -- in
THOR 362, on the bottom of one of the first few pages, is a 
woman with shoulder-length hair and an "X" on her belt buckle,
in Valhalla ( or wherever ).  Hmm -- an unknown "X-factor" 
crossover, or a Simonson joke?
