Mil-Wal: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:14, 5 March 2011

Mil-Wal is a planet from the Marvel Comics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Mil-Wal is the home planet of the brutal alien mechanoid Hooligan.

Mil-Wal was revealed to be Hooligan's home planet on the cover of Marvel UK issue #171, as seen to the right. This obvious reference to Millwall F.C. (a British football team) caused a minor outcry at the time as several Millwall fans (particularly the younger ones) felt that the team's reputation for hooliganism amongst their fans was undeserved. Their letters of complaint were received by Grimlock, who gave them short shrift, as documented in the Titan TPB Space Pirates.
