Notes
[edit]- Whirl's packaging bio notes that he is armed with four incendiary-shell cannons and a photon beam rifle. This suggests that the writers confused the toy's four-barreled photon beam rifle with its more Gatling gun-like shell cannon. This change was reflected in both Whirl's unpublished Marvel Universe profile<ref>Whirl's unpublished Universe profile on Disciples of Boltax</ref> and his Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile.
