Anyway, Leaving aside my personal likes and dislikes, it just occurred to me that if they were part of the MU itself, every superhero and villain would be carrying them around in their back pockets: "Black Bolt's on our tail! Quick, check the handbook - just as i thought. Luckily, our new jet plane can fly up to 501 mph, he'll never catch us!" That's why the Illuminati had them banned.

I can certainly understand a kid getting into them in a similar way to how I was into hockey cards as a kid and could rhyme off all kinds of stats from reading the backs of them over and over.

Squirrel Girl carries around a set of Deadpool's Guide to Super Villains cards, and when she runs up against somebody she's not familiar with, she takes a second to look them up.

Comic Book Letter Pages could have some names that make you groan. Late 60's-early70's Let's Rap with Cap is my favorite

In Walter Simonson's Thor, the Titanium Man's soldiers had a database built into their armor that would identify any super-person they went up against. His big mistake was forgetting to remove himself from it...
