Brought to life by the multi-hyphenate master of graphic fiction himself, Ed Piskor!
Notes
- Kitty's time-travel led to the prevention of Senator Stern's assassination, and in turn altered the Earth-71259 timeline shown from X-Men: Grand Design #1 to this issue.
- Although it is not confirmed what all the changes to the timeline were, the Earth-TRN798 divergences that were confirmed in this issue include:
- The prevention of the Sentinel-ruled future (Xavier mentioned to Cyclops that Future Kitty's consciousness disappeared as proof that the Days of Future Past future cataclysm was averted)
- The capture of the Brotherhood and escape of Mystique (in the previous timeline, the Brotherhood had escaped with ease as the X-Men weren't there in X-Men: Grand Design - Second Genesis #2)
- Cyclops responded to Lee Forrester's ad instead of Madelyne Pryor's (with a note to read Uncanny X-Men #143 next; also further confirmed by Daron Jensen and Jeph York's notes in the Additional Reading section of the issue)
- Although it is not confirmed what all the changes to the timeline were, the Earth-TRN798 divergences that were confirmed in this issue include:
