Indexer Notes

The mysterious woman with Kang and Mantis (who has appeared in other chapters to the Crossing storyline), is eventually revealed to be a time-displaced adult Luna Maximoff. However, it was later retconned by Kurt Busiek in Avengers Forever (Marvel, 1998) #8 that this was false, and that she, along with Mantis, Moonraker, Kang's sons (Malachi and Tobias), along with other antagonists in the storyline, were in fact Space Phantoms from Limbo working for Immortus.

Indexer Notes

This storyline was apparently controversial. Kurt Busiek, in Avengers Forever (Marvel, 1998 series), retroactively claimed that the Mantis who appeared in the story was actually a Space Phantom brainwashed into thinking he was Mantis.
