Notes & Trivia[]

  • First appearance of the Brood. Only Skür'kll is named in this issue. Two other unnamed Brood also make a cameo appearance.
  • Deathbird appeared last in Avengers, Volume 1 #189. Reference is made to her capture by Hawkeye in this issue.
  • One of the images that Kitty Pryde summons from the clothing fabricator device is a Darth Vader costume. Darth Vader is the penultimate antagonist of the Star Wars film franchise.
  • Emperor D'ken appears as a hallucination only.
  • Another of the costumes that Kitty Pryde tries on bears some resemblance to the original Phoenix costume. This outfit is actually Dave Cockrum's original concept for the Phoenix costume.

  • Corsair: What a mess!

....

  • Cyclops: Colossus? Peter? Someone call an ambulance!
  • Wolverine: If one was already here Cyke, it wouldn't make a difference. If he was in the best hospital in the world -- with the best doctors -- it wouldn't do any good. You'll be missed, Petey -- and you'll be avenged!
