Posted by The Beetle on 8/9/2005, 8:36 am, in reply to "Small point. . ." Not much, but enough I think of something different to do. Like back when the MC2 Handbook made in the same way as the rest of the handbook. I had some problems with the universe where the (original) Avengers went to in their last adventure. People they met there like Stormtrooper and Donar was from another dimension than the rest of the MC2 universe, but still part of the MC2 Universe... : --Previous Message--

: Protectors. There is very little info on
: the net about them. Most of what I have was
