NotesThis story is continued in Fantastic Four #181. Continuity Notes: Reed refers to himself as a World War II veteran. In Fantastic Four #11 it was first stated that Reed fought in World War II. This has been retconned out of Reed Richard's history per the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616, as Reed fighting in World War II would drastically age the character. Any reference to Reed being in the military should be generalized. Reed lost his powers last issue, a natural progression since he first discovered it in Fantastic Four #157. His powers are eventually restored in Fantastic Four #197. The Counter-Earth Reed Richards refers to his version of Sue is in a coma. This happened in Warlock #6 during a similar space flight that created the Fantastic Four on Earth. The Metalloid is revealed to be a creation of the Mad Thinker in Fantastic Four #181. Annihilus was last seen in Captain Marvel #37 where he was easily defeated by Rick Jones in the Negative Zone.
