Notes

  • This issue establishes that Cortexin (and its creator, Michael Grant) also exists on Earth-86, and it mutated animals into antropomorphic, intelligent beings during World War III. On Earth-AD, these creatures rule the world, which suggests Earth-AD may be the future of Earth-86.

Trivia

  • Hercules mentions that his mother is from Athens, Greece; in Greek Mythology, Heracles was born in Thebes.
