I just remembered that in Invaders #33 Hitler calls Doctor Doom "Hans"
throughout the issue, I don't know if that may have been his middle name
or just an alias he was using at the time.•• I believe Roger Stern later established that was a time-traveling Doom using
a false name. After all, in Marvel Time, Doom could not have been an adult in WW2.
Wouldn't even have been BORN, in fact.

Of course that's true now JB, but didn't Reed & Ben graduate college before becoming officers during World War II in the original timeline?

World War II in the original timeline?•• Yup. And see how many times you can find Stan and Jack referencing THAT
after the first year or two of the book!

JB, was it editorial intervention in Marvel Two-In-One #100 that had Ben ponder, "I wonder if we've ever really travelled in time? Heck, maybe I never became Blackbeard* or fought in World War II or... Boy, this is real confusin'" Is there a story behind that issue's apparent rejection of omniversal theory? (Or rather, "Blackagar Beardagon" as he more fashionably might be known today...)

They've been drawing that head band thingy Cyrsal wears as some type of pattern in her hair now. I kinds of liked the head band thingy, but this new interpretation of what that is doesn't bug me that much. It is something I never thought about, to be honest.

I always just assumed the Inhuman Royal Family took on their "royal names" upon Terrigenesis.

Simplest solution, to me, was that the Inhumans likely do not speak English
as a first (or second, or third, or fifty-sixth) language, and their names --
excluding prossibly Triton and Medusa, who clearly draw upon classical
mythology -- are merely english equivalents. Native American's didn't use
English words, after all, when they named themselves.

I like that solution too, although I would also posit that these are names they take on after they've gone through the Terrigen Mists. Which raises the question of whether they have names before they get their powers. JB, have you ever mused on the question of why they wear masks?

tattoos. Aside from the external these-guys-are-in-a-superhero-comic
reason, I would be content with the idea that the Inhumans' masks are an
extension of this kind of cultural thinking.

I would love to see a big name writing a mini series on Black Bolt. Someone like Byrne.
