Ka-Zar #2 Mar 1974
Shanna the She-Devil guest-stars in "The Fall of the Red Wizard"
Zabu rescues Ka-Zar and Shanna from the Red Wizard and Maa-Gor. Malgato tries to convince them that their willing sacrifice
is required to maintain the Savage Land's warm climate, but when they refuse to listen to him, he ejects them from the castle
through a trap chute that dumps them into the lake, threatening that they will soon see the coming catastrophe firsthand.

Returning to dry land, Shanna introduces herself to Ka-Zar,

explaining how she had been abducted from her African jungle by Pterodactyls in the thrall of the Red Wizard.
Shanna steadfastly refuses to believe in magic, theorizing Malgato may be a mutant to account for his powers.

Ka-Zar takes Shanna to the village of the Fall People, where the villagers are
disappointed that the heroes did not accept the honor of being sacrifices.
When a triceratops rampages through the village, the Fall People are convinced
that Ka-Zar's blasphemy has doomed them and turn on him and Zabu.
Shanna, concocting a plan, ends the conflict with the villagers by knocking out Ka-Zar and taking him back to Malgato's castle.

Shanna convinces Malgato that she and Ka-Zar will jump into his pit of flames willingly, but instead they leap at the fire bowl standing in the pit,
knocking it over and ruining the sacrifice. Shanna finds and tears out the castle's wiring, confirming her suspicions that the pterodactyl that
abducted her and the triceratops that attacked the village were robots when they start to break down. Malgato confesses that
he exploited the people's legends to control them and escapes, leaving behind his robes and a rubber mask of his apparent face.

Later, Ka-Zar reconciles with the villagers, who promise to only sacrifice animals in the future.

Shanna patches up Zabu and then leaves to resume her search for her father. Shanna's story continues in Daredevil #109

Uncanny X-Men #179 Mar 1984
"What Happened to Kitty!"
Continued from last issue...

The Morlocks have captured Kitty Pryde and are now preparing her for a forced marriage to Caliban.
Having left the X-Men to believe that Kitty had died falling off the roof
of the Baxter Building, Storm, Wolverine and Rogue go to examine the body.
Wolverine tells his comrades that he girl on the morgue slab before them is not Kitty, making Storm wonder who
could have captured her and why they went through such trouble to make the other X-Men think that she was dead.

Meanwhile at the X-Mansion, Nightcrawler examines Colossus's frozen body and cannot detect a heart beat,
making him, Professor X, Illyana and Amanda Sefton wonder if even in his armored form he could have survived being frozen.
Their examination is interrupted when Storm contacts the Professor telepathically and tells him of the news surrounding "Kitty's" death.

Before she can tell him whom she believes is behind the capture the Professor is
struck by a powerful mental probe by some alien force of great power and passes out.

Down in the Morlock Tunnels, Kitty snaps out of her stupor to find that the Morlocks are attempting to marry her off to Caliban.
When she attempts to resist, Callisto points out that when she was down in the tunnels previously,
she promised to do whatever Caliban wanted if he helped her. Caliban wished to marry the girl,
and Callisto is trying to bind her to her promise, even though Caliban realizes that the girl could never love him.
When Kitty attempts to flee into the sewers she comes across the young Morlock named Leech who is lost and scared in the tunnels.
She decides to lead the boy back and agrees to honor her promise.

Before the ceremony, Masque is brought in to alter Kitty's face so that she is deformed like all the Morlocks.
However, when Masque's despisement of all things pretty makes him torment her, Callisto orders him to stop and change her back to normal.
As the wedding ceremony begins, it is interrupted by the arrival of Storm, Rogue and Wolverine.
A brief battle begins between the X-Men and the Morlocks


before Kitty stops them and explains her promise to Caliban and reminds them that saving Colossus is more important that fighting each other.

A solution is soon made: Taking Callisto and the Morlock known as the Healer
back to the X-Mansion, the Professor has Rogue absorb Colossus's powers.
When the Russian mutant reverts back to his human form the Healer then uses his powers to heal his wounds.
With Peter recovering in the infirmary, Kitty leaves to return to the Morlock tunnels
giving Illyana letters for her parents and Peter to explain what happened.
When she goes down she is met by Caliban, who tells her that he realizes that it is not right to force
her to marry him or stay in the Morlock tunnels against her will and releases her from her promise.
Before departing, he gives the young mutant a single rose before returning to the tunnels.

The marvel character Wave

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Pink Wanda makes me mad lol. C'mon, she's literally called the SCARLET Witch.

Yeah, that's probably why they ended up changinh her color palette. I wonder if she has black hair or brown naturally, or if it was died. She's one of the few characters who has had different hair color throughout the years. Maybe it's white like Quicksilver's.

Well seeing how the comicbook character Magda looked...


And the comicbook character Magneto mentioning this...

...I go with brown.
