Indexer Notes

Joye Murchison verified to Jerry Bails

The Space/Time Transformer is referred to as the Space Transformation Machine. When Wonder Woman arrives in the past, Etta, as a Vestal Virgin, believes her to be the goddess Vesta; Steve is thought to be a barbarian, but when he shoots his gun, he's thought to be Jupiter.
