• During this fight, the Juggernaut mentions his last clash with Colossus. That happened in X-Men #102.

• How Sean Cassidy has a daughter he is unaware of is due to the fact that he thought his daughter died along with his wife years earlier as detailed in X-Force #31.

• During this sequence, Jessica had just received an update on Siryn, informing her that she was reunited with her father. This happened in Uncanny X-Men #148.
