Trivia[]
- The repeat of the scene from issue 1 gives us a time marker for how long has passed in the series. It's been four months since Mark first got his powers.
- The scene of Mark carrying Mr. Hiles to Antarctica also gives us an idea of his flying speed. The timer has 39 seconds on it when Mark takes off. He flies from Baltimore to Antarctica before the bomb explodes.
