Indexer Notes

Wonder Woman notes her plane is made of "elastic Amazonium, the hardest substance known to science." Even carrying someone, Animal Man is able to outrace Wonder Woman with the speed of a gazelle. Wonder Woman recalls Animal-Man's last appearance from Strange Adventures (DC, 1950 series) #201, "The Mod Gorilla Boss," and relates that her own life was a shambles at the time; most likely she's referring to her own "mod" period, beginning in Wonder Woman (DC, 1942 series) #178. Animal Man says he's been inactive for around 10 years.
