Notes & Trivia[]
- The X-Men were created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. They first appeared in The X-Men, Volume 1 #1 in September, 1963. The title eventually evolved to include the "All-New, All-Different" X-Men, after which the series became a runaway hit, ultimately changing its title to Uncanny X-Men. Since then, this outcast team of mutant misadventurers have appeared in numerous comic book titles that have since been adapted into several cartoon programs, feature films, and video games; not to mention copious amounts of merchandising ranging from toys to apparel.
- This episode is a Wolverine spotlight episode. He is the only member of the X-Men to appear in this episode.
- Ernie is a retired United States Army soldier and World War II veteran who appears at the cemetery. This is the only appearance of the character.
Allusions[]
- Logan's use of climbing pitons is an obvious homage to the Adamantium claws that he will someday wield as Wolverine. The events of this episode take place some decades before Logan will undergo the adamantium bonding process.
Quotes[]
- Logan: Guys like him were worth 1000 of you, old man. Real red-blooded heroes. How dare you kick it before I could get my hands on you. You cheated me, old man! Cheated me of vengeance. Cheated me of justice. It ain't fair. You stole the joy of Paris from me forever. And in 1944 in Paris, there wasn't all that much joy to be had.
....
- Logan: I don't know why you ratted on us, Cocteau, but I sure wanted five minutes along with you to show you what I thought about it.
....
- Captain America: I like your style.
- Logan: Wish I could say the same. Where'd you get that star-spangled monkey suit? Fatigues would be a lot less obvious.
- Captain America: But I'm more than just a soldier, Logan. This costume makes me a living symbol of everything we're fighting for. A symbol of pride, of hope.
- Logan: You wouldn't catch me in something like that. It's gotta itch.
....
- Logan: What are you two so happy about? From where I stand, our mission failed. We were supposed to get Cocteau. Instead, we lose the little rat and the Skull.
- Captain America: Logan, their robot project has been shut down. A major lab is destroyed. We take what we can get in this war.
- Logan: Yeah, well my war ain't over until I find Cocteau and make him pay for betraying us.
