Notes:
Page 7, panels 3-6: Magda Eisenhardt’s character is briefly mentioned for the first time as Magneto’s late wife. This information, together with that published in August 1979 a month earlier, pages 2-3 in The Avengers #186, infers that Magneto is, in fact, the natural father of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, alias the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
Notes:
Page 15, panel 4: Originally called Mutant X, Kevin MacTaggert adopts the alias of Proteus for the first time in this issue. In Greek mythology, Proteus is a sea divinity. He can foretell the future and change his shape. The term ‘protean,’ which defines someone or something that can take many forms, is etymologically originated from Proteus.
Notes:
Unlike previous titles, this episode’s one isn’t directly inspired by a quote from William Shakespeare’s works. Nevertheless, 'The Quality of Hatred!' could be considered a counterpoint to ‘the quality of mercy,’ one famous quote from the British author, extracted from his Merchant of Venice play (Act 4, scene 1). For as Proteus shows no mercy for his father and, besides, uses the form of a woman, Jennie Banks; that could be considered a parallel to the character of Portia, disguised as a man, in Shakespeare’s crucial play’s scene that refers to ‘the quality of mercy.’
Notes:
From X-Men # 125, the titles of each episode are inspired by a quote from Shakespeare. That is the last: "Then imitate the action of the tiger" (Henry V. Act III, Scene I). Its meaning is linked to the sentence it precedes, "Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood ..." which refers to the final fight against Proteus.
Notes:
Wolverine reads an issue of Penthouse in the story.
Notes:
Last panel of Wolverine in the sewers promising his solo revenge on the Hellfire Club is one of the most famous (and tributed) Wolverine images on file.
Notes:
Cover is an homage to the cover of X-Men (Marvel, 1963 series) #56.
Notes:
As is now known, Phoenix and Jean Grey were never one and the same as revealed in Jean's resurrection in Avengers #263 and Fantastic Four #286. In the original story, Jean Grey didn't die and the story with the original ending is printed in Phoenix: The Untold Story #1.
