Not So Different removed. Dr Fuchs may argue otherwise but his and Jane's situations still make them literal opposites with little in common. Phrasing under Unstoppable Rage changed, there's nothing to suggest more than a dozen guards were involved much less hundreds. All references to Dr Fuchs minions being "clones" removed because nothing in the episode actually implies this. Feel free to add these back if you have any information that proves otherwise.
