Notes:
- L.I.N.C.O.L.N has been in existence as a Presidential safe haven since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. It is also referenced by Nick Fury that Bill Clinton used the area as a hideout from Hillary during the sex scandal that occurred during his presidency.
- It is mentioned that during Magneto’s attack, the Hulk temporarily escaped and ate the nursing staff (6 people) during a 2 minute period.
- Captain America tells Wasp that they are aware she is a mutant and not to worry about it. Cap calls Wasp “sweetheart” indicating romantic interest in her. Steve Rodgers and Janet Pym become romantically involved in The Ultimates 13.
- Condoleezza Rice dismisses Xavier’s pleas for amnesty and states that “Charles Xavier can no longer be trusted”.
- Bobby Drake’s family is on the run. They are currently in Cleveland, Ohio.
