NOTES

The style of the blue caption text is a tribute to the classic comic book prose of the 1980s. The "beyond his years" lines are a nod to John Byrne's work on Fantastic Four.

The huge flashback is based on events and characters from G1 Marvel UK #45-46, "The Icarus Theory", G1 Marvel UK #74-77, "In the National Interest" and G1 Marvel UK #125, "Ancient Relics (part 1)".
Professor Anthony Morris & Centurion: their saga was created by Simon Furman for the G1 Marvel UK comics, intertwining it with G1 Marvel US concepts such as Triple I and its director, Forsythe.

Actually, the scene of professor Morris' death was never seen in the comics. Simply, Centurion was turned by Furman into a sentinent mechanoid, without explicit explanations.
Our comics begins here to reveal some behind-the-scenes facts, shedding some light on that mystery.
