Indexer Notes

Greer's last name is misidentified in the flashback to her origin. Instead of Nelson, she recalls Garson! (It's unknown if this was an error on the script's part, or the letterer's?) Oddly, "Garson" would appear again in New Avengers (2005 series) #35 (Dec 2007) as the surname of Tigra's mother.
