Trivia
- Starman story:
- Light steals the time machine in 1941, perhaps in the last months. He returns from 2000 years in the future in 1942. Why he had not attacked in 1941 (or any other year at his choice) is a mystery.
- Since Grimm knows the secrets of time-travel, it is unknown why he was not part of Time Trust.
- The story shows that the Gravity Rod can only be recharged by the starlight at night. Why our Sol can't recharge it, even being a star, is unknown.
