to:

* It's strange that Paperinik doesn't recognize Xari when he meets him, not after seeing a Coolflame that looked ''exactly'' like him. Thing is, he also knew that the Xerbian was collaborating with the Evronians to be able to steer them away from the survivors of Xerba, and he just didn't expect Xari, who he knew had strongly opposed them, to do that, so he mistook him for a lookalike until Xalya calls him by name.
** Before that, but after meeting the Coolflame, he apparently mistakes Xarion (another Xerbian, who looks completely different from him) for Xari upon hearing the name. Xarion had just come to Earth after a ''very'' difficult travel and Paperinik knows he has no idea how Xerbian physiology works, he probably thought he had simply grown older and proven by the tasks.

to:

* Why don't we ever see Paperinik's pre-PKNA opponents, aside for Lord Walrus ([[RememberTheNewGuy who had never actually appeared in previous stories]])? Easy: they're just no match for a Paperinik equipped with Ducklair technology and supported by One. Most of them are one-shot characters relying on a gimmick that Paperinik would always neutralize (as shown by Lord Walrus), and One would find a way to neutralize them even faster, and the ones who aren't (namely Perfidus, still one-shot but an EvilCounterpart of Paperinik who was ''not'' apprehended, and the recurring Lola Duck and Spectrus) are either no match for Paperinik's new tech (Perfidus, who relied on gadgets literally made out of garbage, and Lola Duck, who was a ClassyCatBurglar) or have lost their one advantage (Spectrus relied on his HypnoticEyes... And Paperinik became ''immune'' to that after his brief time at Dhasam-Bul).

** Partially confirmed in-story: the various air forces have no new special weapon (the most advanced thing we see is the F-22), yet they still defeated the Evronian fleets.

* In ''Might and Power'' we are told that the Evronian conquest of Earth after reorganizing from within our own planet began at the end of 2014, while the story was published in July 2014. Even taking ComicBookTime in perspective, it means that the seemingly too easy defeat of the Evronians at the end of the storyline is plausible: not only they are taken by surprise, and attacked with a new technology they didn't expect, but while at an advanced stage they are simply still not ready - Nebula Faraday even laments they are behind schedule.

* Being one of the early stories, PKNA #5 was written before most of the following events were planned; this led, over time, for the future it showed to have some contradictions, and the reveal that [[spoiler:one-shot character [=McCoy=] was Grrodon in disguise]] almost 40 issues later only patched things up partially. Comes ''Might and Power'', which sees PK back in action against a resurgent Evronian menace, and the events in it now have PKNA #5 as their most logical future.

* In "Portrait of the Young Hero" the Evronians of Styvesant's show have two kinds of warriors, the normal kind (portrayed by actors in costumes) and a less numerous force of 'Super Evronians' (portrayed by robots). The 2014 relaunch has the Evronian troops that [[spoiler: conquered Earth in about one month]] show up in two kinds, the normal warriors and a less numerous force of '[[SuperSoldier Augmented Units]]'... That look ''identical'' to Styvesant's 'Super Evronians'.

** There's a less (or possibly more) horrifying solution to this: ''the Evronians programmed the AI to take care of the kids of conquered peoples''. We have been shown the Evronians ''do'' keep around non-coolflame members of the peoples they conquer (see issue #25 and the Xadhoom Trilogy itself), some because they're more valuable with their intelligence and some presumably as breeding stock (Evronians do need to eat their emotions, after all), so it would make sense to them to take the children from their parents and have them raised by AI[=/=]s to make them loyal subjects of the Empire.

* Duckburg's people seem awfully willing to believe Angus when he accuses Paperinik of pretty much anything. Seems strange, right? Well, as most Italian fans will remember, Paperinik started out as a ''criminal'', one so feared that him merely showing up after a leave of absence was enough to ''cause city-wide panic'' (third story, "Paperinik Strikes Again"), and when some supposed scientists declared him a robot everyone, even people who should have known better, believed them until he [[ItMakesSenseInContext terrified into submission half of the city population with a gun made of chocolate]] (fourth story, "Paperinik's Double Triumph"), and even after reforming he was known to be rather sadistic and capable of literally ''steal away half of the city to track down a mob boss'' (he gave back the loot once he didn't need to fake a FaceHeelTurn). Nothing too easy to believe he simply changed his mind again.



* The Xerbian survivors managed to [[spoiler:engineer a process that reverts Coolflames to their original form]]. However, Xadhoom often didn't hesitate to [[spoiler:blow up Coolflames along with their Evronian masters. How many innocents could have been saved?]]

* in the first 23rd century story Grrodon the last Evronian tell us Paperinik will go on and destroy the Evronian Empire, with him surviving only because he was on Earth preparing for Evron's triumphal return when it happened, but the series ended before we saw how. Then, two issues after Grrodon infiltrated the US Army for some Evronians that survived Xadhoom's final rampage and one after he was arrested by the military police for spying, we see Paperinik vowing he'll get Xadhoom out of the artifact she copied her mind into, and we still don't know what happened to the Evronian invasion fleet hidden in the asteroid belt. Want to bet Xadhoom is involved?

* FridgeBrilliance: in the first 23rd century story Grrodon the last Evronian tell us Paperinik will go on and destroy the Evronian Empire, with him surviving only because he was on Earth preparing for Evron's triumphal return when it happened, but the series ended before we saw how. Then, two issues after Grrodon infiltrated the US Army for some Evronians that survived Xadhoom's final rampage and one after he was arrested by the military police for spying, we see Paperinik vowing he'll get Xadhoom out of the artifact she copied her mind into, and we still don't know what happened to the Evronian invasion fleet hidden in the asteroid belt. Want to bet Xadhoom is involved?

** In, 'Under A New Sun, you'll notice that the character never referred to Xadhoom as dead. What if it's not just an ElephantInTheLivingRoom? What if, she's still alive in there, sustaining the sun, [[AndIMustScream every second of every day, never sleeping or resting, always expending her energy, forever, or until she dies, dooming the very xerbians she helped save, to freeze to death?]]

* How did Xadhoom knew that Zoster would disintegrate upon achieving her power? Easy: the same nearly happened to her, but, differently from Zoster, her self control allowed him to reverse the process in time.
