Index......................................................................................................................................................................... 101 Chapter One: Heroes A hero is an individual who uses his talents and abilities for the good of others as opposed to his own good. In the MARVEL SUPER HEROES Role-playing game the players take on the roles of heroes in the Marvel Universe. A hero who is being controlled by a player is called a Player-Character or PC. One that is being run by the Judge, including most opponents and supporting characters, is called a Non-Player Character or NPC. Abilities Characters in the MARVEL SUPER HEROES Role-playing game are defined by their abilities. These abilities determine their chances of performing certain actions in the game. There are different types of abilities: Primary, Secondary, Powers, Equipment, Talents, Special Qualities, and Contacts. Some of these abilities are assigned a rank and rank number to define their levels of power, while the others are defined in other ways such as bonuses. The Primary abilities have been modified from the MARVEL SUPER HEROES Original and Advanced sets but may still be familiar to those playing the previous versions: Strength, Agility, Endurance, Intelligence, Psyche, Intuition, and Charisma. Almost all other characters in the Marvel Universe share these Primary abilities – they are a measuring stick of how well a character can perform certain acts. Primary abilities are also called fixed abilities because while they may be improved over time, they do not normally change from adventure to adventure. All primary abilities have a rank, a bonus, and a rank modifier. Secondary abilities include Vitality/Wound Points, Karma Points, Popularity, Resources, Speed, and Combat Level. Vitality/Wound Points, Popularity and Karma Points are sometimes called Variable abilities because they may change within the course of a single adventure. All normal individuals and most characters the players encounter have Secondary abilities. Secondary abilities may be defined by discrete values. Special abilities are other notable qualities that are not common to all characters (such as the ability to digest ABS plastic), and indeed may be unique to a particular character. Special abilities include Powers, Equipment, Talents, Special Qualities, and Contacts. Special abilities may use ranks, rank numbers, bonuses, or other types of discrete values. Ranks, Bonuses and Rank Numbers Abilities are often defined by a word (Poor, Good) known as ability’s rank. In the MARVEL SUPER HEROES Original and Advanced set, a Universal table was used to determine if an action was successful based on the difficulty of the action in comparison to the ability rank used to accomplish the action. In the new MARVEL SUPER HEROES Role-playing game, Bonuses are now associated with Primary ability ranks which modify many dice rolls used to strike a foe or accomplish a Difficulty Class. Table 1-1 below depicts Ranks, Rank Numbers, and associated Rank Bonuses. Table 1-1: Ability Rank Descriptions Rank Rank Number Rank Bonus Shift 0 (Sh 0) 0 -5 or N/A Feeble (Fb) 2 -2 Poor (Pr) 4 -1 Typical (Ty) 6 0 Good (Gd) 10 +1 Excellent (Ex) 20 +2 Remarkable (Rm) 30 +3 - +4 Incredible (In) 40 +5 - +6 Amazing (Am) 50 +7

  • Recycling the Other: the Role of Nostalgia in Superhero Comics’ Orientalism Nao Tomabechi
    Recycling the Other: The Role of Nostalgia in Superhero Comics’ Orientalism Nao Tomabechi Abstract Whiteness has been one of the core ideals in American mainstream superhero comics, but in recent years, with demands for diversity increasing, more than ever, racial minorities have leading roles in superhero comics. However, the struggle for Asians in the superhero genre is not entirely gone. The number of appearances may have increased, but stereotypes do persist. Japanese characters in superhero comics, for instance, whether they are heroes or villains, are still forced to display their Otherness, even in recent works. In this paper, by using Wolverine’s adventures set in Japan and the Japanese superhero Katana from DC Comics as examples, I argue that Asians in contemporary superhero comics are still contained within the grasps of Orientalism, and that nostalgia plays a significant role in that containment. Keywords: Orientalism, nostalgia, racism, continuity, diversity Introduction As many scholars and fans have already pointed out, whiteness has been one of the core ideals in American mainstream superhero comics.1 From DC Comics’ Superman and Batman to Marvel’s Captain America and Iron Man, the most famous and popular superheroes, as well as supervillains, have always been predominantly white. In recent years however, with increasing demands for diversity, this focus on whiteness has been highly questioned and criticized. Consequently, more than ever, racial minorities have leading roles in superhero comics. Miles Morales, the Spider-Man of Marvel’s Ultimate Universe, is a mixed-race teenager, and the African Black Panther is now extremely popular after the successful film released in 2018.

  • Wolverine #12
    WOLVERINE #12 “Armi Letali” - parte 2 by Abendsen Ammanettato ad un tavolo di metallo in un’asettica e pulita stanza degli interrogatori della centrale di polizia di Tokyo, Logan attendeva visite, ma l’odore che gli arrivava da oltre l’ingresso prima ancora che la porta si aprisse, lo sorprese. <Harada-san, è un onore.> Il Silver Samurai, impeccabile nel costoso vestito sartoriale scuro, entrò e senza dire nulla chiuse la porta e si sedette di fronte all’X-Man. <Wolverine-san.> Si guardarono l’un l’altro, il silenzio era carico di ricordi di duelli all’ultimo sangue, alleanze forzate e di quello che sembrava esserci adesso, un rispetto reciproco, ma nessuno dei due si sarebbe definito amico dell'altro. <Causare un incidente stradale, bloccare il traffico, uccidere una persona, non mi sembrano delle grandi idee. Neanche per te.> <Se il leader dei Big Hero 6 è qui a dirmi queste cose e non qualche altro poliziotto, allora non devo preoccuparmi, giusto?> <Giusto, no.> Harada Kenuchio non pareva né soddisfatto né contrariato, anzi, dal suo volto non trapelava nessuna emozione, era come l'elmo d'argento che indossava in azione, una maschera, modellato negli anni dalla ricerca del controllo assoluto della mente e del corpo che il codice del samurai, la Via della spada, richiedeva a coloro che intendevano essere veri guerrieri. Però, considerato chi sei, i nostri comuni legami e anche se ci è andato di mezzo un morto, ho fatto pressione affinché questa storia venga risolta con altri canali, per conto di altri Ministeri.> <Evviva la democrazia.> Logan fece per alzare le braccia, ma la catena a cui erano fissate le manette glielo impedì; in cambio abbozzò un cenno con la testa e Harada lo liberò dai ferri.

  • Dante's Inferno</H1>
    Dante's Inferno Dante's Inferno The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri Translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Volume 1 This is all of Longfellow's Dante translation of Inferno minus the illustrations. It includes the arguments prefixed to the Cantos by the Rev. Henry Frances Carey, M,.A., in his well-known version, and also his chronological view of the age of Dante under the title of What was happening in the World while Dante Lived. If you find any correctable errors please notify me. My email addresses for now are [email protected] and [email protected]. David Reed Editorial Note page 1 / 554 A lady who knew Italy and the Italian people well, some thirty years ago, once remarked to the writer that Longfellow must have lived in every city in that county for almost all the educated Italians "talk as if they owned him." And they have certainly a right to a sense of possessing him, to be proud of him, and to be grateful to him, for the work which he did for the spread of the knowledge of Italian Literature in the article in the tenth volume on Dante as a Translator. * * * * * The three volumes of "The Divine Comedy" were printed for private purposes, as will be described later, in 1865-1866 and 1877, but they were not actually given to the public until the year last named. Naturally enough, ever since Longfellow's first visit to Europe (1826-1829), and no doubt from an eariler date still, he had been interested in Dante's great work, but though the period of the incubation of his translation was a long one, the actual time engaged in it, was as he himself informs us, exactly two years.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.
