The continuity note was due to an earlier draft of the story having a coda that took place after <i>X-Men</i> #65 when Professor X's deception was revealed. Marvel made me remove the coda, thinking the story ended more strongly where it did in the printed version. Fifteen years later, I no longer have a copy of that original draft, and I don't remember it well enough to know if it was the right call. Either way, I recently re-read the story and was perfectly okay with how it ended, so I guess it was the right call....<br /><br />---KRADKeith R.A.

Yeah, a lot of it was trying spackle over the absurdities of a particularly dumb Silver Age retcon, but I was also genuinely fascinated by what life would be like for a true shapeshifter, and the Changeling was so totally undeveloped that I had room to play with it. And I particularly enjoyed taking a look at the inner workings of Factor Three and how it might have come about, since the comics didn't really delve into it all that much.<br /><br />---KRAD<br />Keith R.A.
