Analysis Notes

19:4-5 War Station Krinn is presumably named for Rokk Krinn, Cosmic Boy of the Legion of Super-Heroes.  The year 3054 is some 55 years in the future of the Legion as of the publication of this issue, giving ample time for Cosmic Boy to become sufficiently noted for his heroism for such a memorialization.  In fact, such a memorialization would be viable as of the April 1999 publication date, given the memorialization of deceased Legionnaire Leviathan in the naming of the Legion Outpost as Outpost Allon.
20:1-2 Among the various temporal version of himself that Amazo/Timazo summons is one which must have fought the Legion.  Aspects of Ferro, Chameleon, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and either Spark or Live Wire are evident; the gloves may also be from a Legionnaire’s costume, but they are not immediately recognizable.
