Notes
- The newspaper with the headline, "Mutant Crisis!", and the picture of Xavier & Gyrich, is an issue of the Daily Bugle, which Spider-Man works for. The editorial is written by his boss, publisher and all-around hatemonger, J. Jonah Jameson.
- The report, by J. J. Jameson, dated September 8th, says: "Here at the Daily Bugle, we have only one goal in mind: the truth. We are now, and we always will be, committed to finding the truth, no matter what paths the search leads us. Professor Charles Xavier, at yesterday's press conference, says that mutants are no more than humans with extraordinary powers, not the next evolutionary step that will replace normal humans."
- The storage facility name, "Kirby Glen", is a reference to team co-creator Jack Kirby. The number of it, "1917", is the year of his birth.
- Though the connection is never fully stated on this series, Cyclops and Havok are long-lost brothers.
