Notes

• In "State Games", Ravage notes that as the Overlord's bodyguards, both he and Nightstalker were fitted with powerful bombs to use as a last resort, though they are not specified to be proton bombs. Conversely in "Command Performances!", Ravage's weapons are called out as being proton missiles instead.
• Whirl's unpublished Marvel Comics bible profile quotes him as saying "An attack of insanity can be just as effective as an attack by a proton bomb".^[1]
