NotesContinuity Notes: The narrative of this story references the football game that Ben took Alicia to in Giant-Size Fantastic Four #4. Sue has just recently returned to her husband in Fantastic Four #149 after a lengthy separation that began in Fantastic Four #130. Here she is debating on rejoining the FF full time, a decision she makes next issue. Everyone -- including Quicksilver himself -- believes that Pietro is a mutant. However as revealed in Uncanny Avengers Vol 2 #4, it has been revealed that Quicksilver was experimented upon as a child by the High Evolutionary, who covered his tracks by making it that Quicksilver registers as a mutant if anyone were to check his DNA. Once again there is a reference to Johnny's past relationship with Pietro's wife Crystal. The pair dated between Fantastic Four #65-105 when pollution forced Crystal to return home to Attilan. She met and chose Quicksilver over Johnny in Fantastic Four #131-132. Xemu and the beings from the 5th Dimension were last seen when they clashed with the Human Torch way back in Strange Tales #103. In fact, the place where Quicksilver is teleported is the original spot in a Long Island swamp where people can pass between dimensions, as seen in that very story.
