Synopsis

Marvel Encyclopedia Vol. 1 is broken down into several sections, covering the thematic sections of the Marvel Universe like Spider-Man, Avengers, Fantastic Four, etc. Within each section, the major characters and supporting characters are ordered alphabetically, with their corresponding villains following, also in alphabetical order. Each section carries a brief two-page introduction. Each character with an entry is granted either four, two or one pages that gives a basic history of the character; biographical information such as secret identity, first appearance, height, weight, eye color and hair color; a breakdown on powers and weapons used by the character; and a power ratings grid that measures their intelligence, strength, speed, durability, energy projection and fighting skills. There is also a box that directs readers to essential collections that feature the character's most significant moments. Interspersed with the text material are heavy doses of previously released artwork
