    Captain America #113 May 1969
    "The Strange Death of Captain America"
    With the supposed death of Captain America and the discovery of a life like mask baring the face of Steve Rogers,
    the public is not only mourning the loss of America's greatest hero, but wondering just who was the man behind the mask.

    Watching a special on Captain America's death on television, Madame Hydra and her minions celebrate their victory
    by burning the file they have on Captain America. The fire brings back memories in the mind of Madam Hydra,
    how in her war torn European country her family was killed and half her face horribly scared by fire. Driven by a struggle to survive,
    the young girl would work her way up to becoming Madame Hydra, the highest ranking Hydra official in the Manhattan area.
    However, despite her climb to power, she still cannot bring herself to look at the side of her
    face that was burned all those years ago, and smashes a mirror when she attempts to do so.

    At Avengers Mansion, Rick tries to come to terms with the death of Cap, as he pours over newspaper headlines about the tragedy.
    With the Avengers waiting for him, he leaves the papers to tell them exactly what happened the night Captain America died.

    After he is finished explaining, the Avengers prepare to leave to participate at Captain America's funeral.
    Rick, however, can't bring himself to go and stays behind at the mansion. At the church, the Avengers and agents of SHIELD
    are on hand while Nick Fury delivers a eulogy for the Star-Spangled Avenger. As the service goes on,
    Rick decides that he has to go to the church and pay his respects and say goodbye no matter how much it might hurt. As the service ends,
    only Nick Fury and the Avengers remain behind getting ready to move the coffin to the cemetery. Before they can,
    it suddenly springs open and sprays them with knock out gas. Agents of Hydra then come out of hiding and places all the Avengers
    and Nick Fury into coffins and bring them out to the cemetery in order to bury them alive.

    This is witnessed by Rick who tails them to the cemetery where, much to his surprise, Captain America
    -- alive and well -- rides in on his motorcycle and attacks the Hydra agents. Rick joins the battle,

    and Madame Hydra appears ordering her minions to kill both men. However, they are no match for Cap's fighting spirit
    and so Madame Hydra arms some hunter missiles and fires it at them. Cap and Rick dive into an open grave and dodge the oncoming missiles.
    As Madame Hydra flees toward a mausoleum, the missiles turn back and strike it seemingly killing her in the explosion.

    With the battle over, Rick is overjoyed by Cap's resurrection. Captain America explains that he had tricked Hydra
    into thinking that they had killed him with an inflatable dummy, and that he had planted the fake Steve Rogers
    mask to make everyone think that Captain America was someone else in order for him to keep his identity secret.

    Cap then unmasks, puts on a hat and trench coat and walks away telling Rick that his true identity must remain secret.
    Appearances by the Vision, the Black Panther, Iron Man, Hawkeye and Thor.

    Given as to what happened to the comicbook character Marlo in IH #398 I am worried as well.

    However, given her history with Hulk AND with Death itself, she seems a natural fit.
    Yes and also, to me, her reunion with the comicbook character Rick is long overdue!

    Incredible Hulk #355 May 1989
    "Now you see It..."
    Marlo Chandler takes Bruce Banner out to a video vendors convention
    where Bruce is frightened by an actor portraying the horror character Freddy Krueger.
    He realises that this is only an actor when "Krueger" gets mocked by
    actors portraying the X-Men, pointing out that "Wolverine's" claws are bigger.
    Marlo thought that Bruce would have a good day out with her, but when she starts talking about his
    alter-ego the Hulk, or "Joe Fixit" as she knows him, Bruce gets fed up about hearing about his "half-brother".
    He tries to warn her that Joe corrupts everything he touches and Marlo thinks that Bruce might be jealous.

    This upsets Bruce and he storms off. He thinks about telling Marlo the truth about himself and the Hulk,
    but worries what will happen if news that the Hulk has survived got out to the general public.
    Bruce then considers the life that the Hulk has forged in Las Vegas as a mob enforcer for Michael Berengetti and considering that the Hulk
    isn't rampaging all over the place, he wonders if he can't just accept this life, and fears what would happen if the Hulk were to lose it.

    With the sun beginning to set, Bruce heads back over to the Coliseum Casino where he can change into the Hulk.
    Banner is unaware that he is being followed by a mysterious man with golden skin.
    When the Hulk transforms he is confused to see that it is still daylight outside.
    Going into the next room he finds three scantily clad women and a massive meal waiting for him, compliments, apparently, of his boss.
    After gorging down the food and having his way with the women, Joe Fixit is then approached
    by Michael Berengetti who tells Joe that he is retiring and leaving his empire to him.
    Suddenly, the Hulk finds himself in Berengetti's office with the Thing wading over him hand and foot.
    The Hulk then decides to go see Marlo and is surprised to find Rick Jones is his chauffeur.
    On their way he spots the Leader out walking his dog and orders Jones to run over his old foe.
    After that they continue on their way to Marlo's. There the Hulk finds both Marlo Chandler and Betty Banner waiting for him.
    When the two women begin fawning over him, Bruce Banner reasserts control,
    having deduced that this is merely an illusion playing out in his mind.
    The Hulk, furious at seeing Bruce in the same room, attacks him.
    Bruce points out to the Hulk that this is all an illusion and this allows his alter-ego to snap out of it.

    The Hulk finds himself back in his penthouse with the golden skinned intruder standing over him.
    The man introduces himself as Glorian and he explains that he wants to bring the Hulk his fondest dreams in an attempt to cleanse his soul.
    The Hulk is furious that someone would play around in his mind like that and motions to attack.
    Glorian, then makes a quick escape out the window and creates a rainbow to rid along promising to bring the light into Hulk's life as he leaves.
    However, Glorian is not so confident while out of earshot as he thinks back
    to when he convinced the Shaper of Worlds to allow him to go on this mission.
    His thought are quickly broken when the Hulk, having followed Glorian outside, claps his
    hands together disorientating the dream maker enough to make him fall back to the ground.

    The Hulk then attacks Glorian, who is knocked into the video expo where he tries to flee.
    The Hulk rampages through the convention, punching everyone out of his way to get to Glorian.
    The Hulk then beats his foe, seemingly to death.

    This is all witnessed by Marlo who is horrified to see Joe Fixit kill in cold blood.
    She tells the Hulk that she realizes that Bruce was right about him and she refuses to let him corrupt her.

    The Hulk merely walks out telling her that it's too late for that, he's corrupted her already.

    Avengers Forever #6 May 1999
    "In the Meantime, The In-Between Times..."
    Narrowly escaping a wave of negation erasing the timeline of Earth-9904, the Wasp and Captain Marvel
    take their Chronosphere back to Kang The Conqueror's Sphinx replica, floating in "non-space" outside the Timestream.

    As Rick Jones tracks them for docking, a series of images
    simultaneously appear on the monitors inside the Sphinx as well as outside in the surrounding void.

    Arriving on board, the trio confer. Rick cycles through the images, playing like an Immortus "Best Of" clipshow.
    They theorize that the time-lord's usage of the Forever Crystal necessitating their hasty
    exodus from the destroyed timeline triggered the montage of his other manipulations.
    While looking upon the cryptic vignettes as next-level clues to an ever-widening puzzle, the Avengers still remain unclear as to Immortus's master plan...

    In wartorn 21st Century New York City, the improbably-pregnant Synthezoid, Jocasta, comes upon despondent time-travelling
    Captain America kneeling in front of a decimated statue of the Founding Avengers. As she offers him a comforting word,
    the Black Panther and Cap's investigative partner, Giant-Man, inform them that all is in readiness for their immediate departure to Wakanda.
    Planning to strip what remains of the super-metal, Vibranium, from his home nation's mines,
    the Panther seeks to build a small fleet of attack ships and pursue the genocidal invaders to their staging ground on Mars.

    Once at the mines, the Avengers encounter a host of tiny golden insectoids with razor-sharp wings.
    While doing their best to fend off the primal territorial attack, Jocasta goes into unexpected labor
    as a reaction from attempting to phase through the creatures. As Dr. Pym "giants-up" to clear space for delivery,
    he creates a shockwave that takes out the insectoids' mama, a non-verbal butterfly woman named Mourning Prey.
    Collapsing, Cap rushes in on her but is halted in a mysterious trance.

    Shifting to the Avengers in 1873 Tombstone, Arizona, Hawkeye and the delusionally-unstable-yet-still-brilliant Yellowjacket
    argue outside a cave where Songbird stands guard over their three Space Phantom captives. She emerges shortly thereafter,
    urging they head to town and get their Chronosphere back from the contemporaneously villainous Kang.

    In Tombstone, the Two-Gun Kid gathers a gang of costumed gunmen in his alter ego's law offices.
    Assessing it's up to them to do something about the trance Kang's placed the townspeople in, they ride out guns a-blazin'.
    Before long, they come across an entire main street's-worth of the mesmerized, trying not to harm the innocent horde.
    Coming onto the scene from the opposite angle, Hawkeye and Yellowjacket's first response is to help the Old West heroes
    but Songbird cautions otherwise, reminding them that assistance will be lent by another group of Avengers.

    Taking advantage of the distraction, Songbird leads them around the revealed side of "Kang Hotel Saloon"'s futuristic citadel facade.
    The men begin to grow suspicious as Songbird's schematic knowledge of their foe's domicile exceeds any protocols known to the two veteran Avengers.
    Standing in the Chronosphere hangar bay, Yellowjacket puts an unspoken hypothesis to the test as he makes a blatant romantic pass at Songbird.
    As she responds uncharacteristically in kind, the younger Dr. Pym backhands her unconscious; Hawkeye looking on in shock!

    Cut back: As the Avengers close in on Cap and Mourning Prey, Thundra fires off a chain attack that Rogers repulses with his shield.
    He then compels his comrades to lower their arms and gather as Mourning Prey telepathically conveys her origin.
    While the Panther realizes that through Immortus's manipulations, Mourning Prey's children are dependent on the Vibranium for life,
    Giant-Man informs him that Jocasta is suffering seizures that can also be alleviated by the wonder-metal's unique properties.
    Cap succinctly puts it to Earth-9930's leader that he has a literal world-changing life-and-death choice on his hands...

    Tombstone: Hawkeye comes down on YJ, retaliating for the grotesque brutalization. Calming the Marksman,
    Yellowjacket explains his gamble, revealing with a bolt of his bio-blast that "Songbird" has been a Space Phantom since the cave.
    As the real Melissa Gold rejoins them, the Avengers board the Chronosphere and depart.
    Outside, the Space Phantom pleads pathetically about his failure to carry out his master's agenda.

    Wakanda, Earth-9930: Applying strips of raw Vibranium to Jocasta proves successful in easing her spasming.
    After a bit more effort, Giant-Man delivers the first-ever baby of two artificial beings through "natural" childbirth.
    Outside, Cap and T'Challa remark about the "convenience" of the entire unfolding scenario.
    Surfacing from the mines, Pym joins their conversation. The visiting duo call forth their Chronosphere as they implore T'Challa
    to go inside and rejoice in that he chose life this day, despite suffering such tragically bizarre machinations.

    Back at the Sphinx, the reunited Avengers share their respective findings. As Songbirds fends off Yellowjacket's advances anew,
    Giant-Man and the Wasp put forth a proactive initiative: storm Immortus's fortress in Limbo head-on!

    In unison, both Rick Jones and Captain Marvel express ill feelings about this course of action...

    Has Marlo appeared lately? I know Rick is stuck as the Abomination with Blonksky’s remains, and Genis I think is dead.......maybe .....I know Death is only able to keep Mar-Vell, Uncle Ben, ordinary civilians and dead family members, but some guests can’t stay dead (half of them are X People, then Banner, I’m sure Ross isn’t dead for good, etc)

    Marlo was last in David's Scarlet Spider as essentially a cameo, so she's just in Vegas chillin' as we are forced to endure the continued pointlessness of Rick's existence, that not even death can stop.
    I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate

    Actually, that was Death appearing in Marlo's form. For Marlo's last actual appearance I think we have to go back to the "Chaos War" tie-in issues to INCREDIBLE HULK.

    Captain America #114 Jun 1969
    "The Man Behind the Mask!""
    Having convinced the American public that Steve Rogers was just a false identity,
    Captain America walks the streets of Manhattan trying to figure out where to go next with his life.

    He begins to realize that his true identity is that of Captain America, and his civilian guise is what feels more like an alter ego.
    As he strolls up to Avengers Mansion, Cap pauses for a moment and decides that
    he must seek out some normalcy in his life instead of staying with the Avengers.
    He is spotted by the Black Panther and Goliath who discuss Cap's reluctance to go to them for help, deciding that the man is entitled to his own privacy.

    Deciding to check on Sharon Carter, Steve changes into his Captain America costume,
    deciding even S.H.I.E.L.D. is not to know what his secret identity is.
    He goes to the barber shop that is a front for SHIELD HQ and gets an audience with Nick Fury.
    Fury tells Cap that Sharon was on a mission to investigate AIM activity.
    Just then Sharon calls in and reports that this cell of AIM is about to move and that she can't wait for reinforces before signing off.
    When Cap notes that the girl looked sullen, Nick tells Cap that she still thinks he's dead.
    Worried for the safety of his love, Captain America demands that they move out and help her before it's too late.

    Sharon meanwhile gets the drop on the AIM soldiers and tells them to surrender to her.
    They don't give up so easily and she is forced to try to fight them on her own.
    Realizing that Sharon doesn't have any reinforcements, the AIM commander orders that they release their robot the Walking Stiletto.
    Before this robot can attack Sharon, Captain America and Rick Jones arrive to rescue her.
    Rick and Cap try their best to stop the machine and Sharon even lends a helping hand.


    Finally, Captain America deduces that it's weak point is in the neck area and tosses his shield there.
    His theory proves correct and the robot is destroyed, however the AIM goons get away.
    With the battle over, Captain America asks Sharon to give up her life of danger to pursue a relationship with him and asks her to leave SHIELD.
    When Sharon refuses, Cap decides to never ask again and walks away, rejected.

    Cap decides to try and forge a new life, and after dying his hair and using
    make-up to alter his features he attempts to find a hotel that will admit him.
    With no identification what-so-ever, this proves to be a hard thing to accomplish indeed,
    and ultimately Cap has to settle for staying in a slummy hotel in a bad neighborhood.
    In his room, he laments about his lot and life and wonders if he has to spend the rest
    of his life being a symbolic fighting machine or if he will ever get to live a normal life.
    This question goes unanswered as just then the Red Skull materializes in his room.
    He shows Captain America that he has at last recovered the Cosmic Cube and
    that now he once more has the power to do anything his imagination desires.

    Incredible Hulk #356 Jun 1989
    "Control Problems"
    In a foul mood after Marlo Chandler told him that she doesn't want to see him anymore, the Hulk is spoiling for a fight.
    He shows up at an illegal dog fighting match in a warehouse. He steps in the middle of the two fighting dogs and snaps the winning dog's neck.
    When the owner protests, the Hulk throws money at him to cover the cost.
    Unimpressed, the man and some of the other patrons try to attack the Hulk, but he easily trounces them.
    After the dog fighters flee the scene, the Hulk admits that he feels sick and wants to beat up on someone who is a challenge.
    He is approached by an old man who suggests that he go to Finnigan's Bar downtown, as it is a biker hangout.
    The Hulk thanks the old man for the advice and leaps off toward the bar in question.

    Meanwhile, high above the clouds, Glorian meets with his master the Shaper of Worlds to discuss the difficulties that he has been having getting
    the Hulk to see the light. The Shaper makes the image of a clay vase appear telling his pupil that human beings are like the vase, pointing out that
    regardless of its shape it is still just dirt. He goes on to say that the Hulk is the clay without the pretense of thinking it is a vase.
    Glorian refuses to give up, even after the Shaper calls him a fool and is determined to prove himself right and disappears.
    Down on the surface the police have arrived at the video convention where the Hulk seemingly killed Glorian.
    Everyone, including Marlo Chandler, is shocked when Glorian suddenly gets up from the chalk outline drawn around him

    and easily walks away from the scene. As the golden-skinned man begins planning his next move a limo pulls up and the man in the passenger seat
    tells him to get inside, as he has an offer for him. Glorian is reluctant at first, but convinced that nobody could truly harm him, Glorian agrees to climb
    into the vehicle. The man in the car, Nick Cloot, has taken an interested in Glorian's battle with Joe Fixit and wants to make a bargain.

    At that moment, the Hulk lands outside of Winnigan Finnigan's and goes inside. There he loudly announces that all bikers are wimps. This, naturally,
    causes the bikers to try and beat him up. Like the dog fighters before them, the bikers are no match for the Hulk, who easily defeats them as well.
    The Hulk is still not happy, and he wants to look for another fight. Suddenly, the old man from earlier speaks up from behind him.
    Fixit turns and sees that the old man has somehow caught up with him. This stranger tells Hulk that if he really wants to fight the toughest guy in Vegas
    he should try Tad's Gym across town. Warning the old man that he better not be playing any games, Hulk leaps away to face this new challenge.

    Later, at the hospital where Marlo's roommate Mona works, Mona is tending to the roughed up bikers.
    One of them doesn't like the pain the alcohol sab is causing and tries to attack her,

    but he is stopped by Marlo, causing the biker to back off when he sees the stature of this new woman. Marlo then asks to talk to Mona in private.
    In a supply closet, Marlo tells Mona about how Joe Fixit killed a man who later got up and walked away.

    Mona reminds her roommate that Joe Fixit is a mob enforcer, killing people is part of his job, day-in and day-out. Marlo then realizes that
    she has never seen Joe Fixit during the day, and believes something strange is going on and becomes determined to find out what it is.

    Meanwhile, at the newly constructed Kudos Casino, Glorian is given a new suit and gets down to business with Nick Cloot.
    Cloot explains that he is in charge of the Maggia crime family and that he has been trying to get a foothold in Vegas,
    but his organization has been impeded thanks to Michael Berengetti and his enforcer Joe Fixit.
    Learning that Glorian seeks to make the Hulk see the light, Cloot wants to make a wager, pulling a contract out of his desk.
    Glorian doesn't like this idea, but he is under no pressure to sign. When Glorian spots a vase on display similar to the one shown to him
    by the Shaper of World's earlier that day, he believes that this is a test put on by his master and decides to take on Cloot's contract.
    Nick tells Glorian that if he manages to convert the Hulk before the alotted time, he is free of his obligations.
    Accepting the terms, Glorian is surprised when he has to write his name in blood after pricking his finger with a knife.
    Cloot insists that he does so, saying that it is a family tradition.

    At that moment at Tad's Gym, a boxer knocks out his opponent in the ring and asks for another challenger.
    The Hulk takes him up on the offer, but this fighter is also no match for the Hulk. The old man appears and mocks the Hulk's tactics.
    Fed up Joe Fixit threatens to pound on him when the old man says his real opponent is waiting just outside.
    The Hulk goes outside, but all that is out there is a mannequin that resembles Bruce Banner. Furious at the sight of his alter-ego,
    and thinking he hears Banner laughing in his head, the Hulk smashes the dummy and vows to eventually beat Banner.

    Yes! I myself took a liking to the character BECAUSE of that look before that, to me, the character was sporting a godawful look!
