For years, I was convinced Madelyne’s first name was a reference to Hitchcock’s Vertigo, since Scott’s initial interaction with her is VERY similar to the second half of the film. It always hurts a little when I’m reminded such is not the case.
Storm was also one of the brides of the Elder God Set during the Atlantis Attacks crossover.
Regarding Douglock’s change in behavior, could it be that plans were already afoot at this point in time for Weezie to do her Warlock solo book, retconning him to be just Warlock, and they were having him revert to that more cartoonist behavior to ease the transition?
This episode got me wondering…
The Legacy Virus makes infected mutants’ powers go out of control. We now know that Moira is a mutant, with the power to reset reality. So could it be that her infection was the cause of all the bad continuity happening around this time? 🤔
Does Callisto count as a ruler enamored with Storm? 😀
Wait wait wait. The prime sentinels are disguised as the original X-Men because Mimic has been rampaging in the base slaughtering them. But when Excalibur finds him, he’s in high-tech restraints. Did I miss an explanation?
