Posted by Irn12 The Appendix is Ultraverse, so it isn't technically correct to list Protectors, but I'm glad you do have a place for the Protectors. There is very little info on the net about them. Most of what I have was from issues that I bought in addition to the Protector's Handbook. --Previous Message--

The Protector Universe was not actually in the Ultraverse, but both were in the Malibu Universe. Does that make sense?
