Notes

• The Time Trapper states that X5's trip though time is his doing and sends her to her own time with no memory of their meeting until certain conditions are met.

Trivia

• The four superheroes XS meets in the future are clear parallels to Marvel Comics' the Avengers. Avatar is very similar to Thor, Metallica mirrors Iron Man, Behemoth mirrors The Hulk, and although Ultra-Man is less clear, he appears to be a version of Captain America (although he lacks any patriotic symbolism).
