Indexer Notes

This story is credited with establishing the erroneous meaning for OSI, "Office of Strategic Intelligence" (in the TV series it was Office of Scientific Information). Pg. 1 includes a "cutaway" view of Jaime's bionics presented in similar fashion to the image of Steve Austin used in both origin stories published in Charlton's Six Million Dollar Man comic book and magazine.
