Shatterstar's creator, Creator/RobLiefeld went on Twitter after the characters kissed, and said "As the guy that created, designed and wrote his first dozen appearances, Shatterstar is not gay. Sorry. Can't wait to someday undo this. Seems totally contrived". Quesada's CMOA came when he responded "If Rob wants to publicly disagree with that, that's his right, and I respect that.

* Issue #204 has the Mutant Response Division running a simulation in which they stage a direct assault on X-Factor headquarters and it ends up in disaster for the MRD. They only succeed in killing Rictor which just pisses off Shatterstar who proceeds to slaughter the ground troops with ease while dodging enemy fire. Then Madrox gets his hands on one of their guns and makes duplicates of himself and the gun he's holding. When they try to bring in a tank, Siryn shows up. The fight then attracts the attention of numerous other superheroes in the Marvel Universe.

* Falcone's plan is this in concept if not execution. He attacked Mutants with Sentinels that they were able to destroy with surprising ease. [[TrojanHorse However, it turns out those Sentinels where loaded with specially-charged hadron particles that clung to any nearby Mutants]]. Falcone's plan was to open a time vortex that would suck in every Mutant loaded with hadron particles. Fortunately, Fitzroy and Ruby are able to stop that plan by distracting Falcone and opening up another portal to send Falcone and Cortex to the past.
