Notes
- Rebecca Bergier reveals to Jim Rhodes that she is a lesbian and tells him that a tabloid TV show had tried to use that information to blackmail her into giving them an exclusive on Worldwatch.[1] Instead, Rebecca told the whole staff of Worldwatch that she was gay and they all supported her. This happened BTS while Rhodes was away (as War Machine) during the "Hands of the Mandarin" crossover.
- James Rhodes tells the Worldwatch Staff that he is War Machine. He tells Rebecca first, after she came out to him, but she thinks it's a joke, so he has her assemble the staff (all five of them) and appears before them in his War Machine armor.
- The first name of Dr. Jeffries is revealed to be Ranald.
- Before the War Machine revelation is made to the rest of the Worldwatch staff, Dr. Jeffries tells Rhodes that they both know Rhodes has been less than forthcoming about certain things and says that he thinks he knows what those things are. Jeffries later reveals that he has reason to believe that Vincent Cetewayo had known Rhodes was War Machine when he tried to hire him to be Worldwatch's executive director in War Machine #1.
