==Notes==
==Trivia==
* Hiro is actually wrong about his Kitty Pryde reference. Kitty Pryde's [[time travel]]ing story actually occurs in ''X-Men'' #141-142. However, Hiro did note this error in his blog, stating that Charlie corrected him. However, he misspells Kitty's last name as "Pride" while doing so. These mistakes could have been avoided if the reference originally written were used instead: in the [http://www.kilohoku.com/temp/heroes/heroes-1X00-pilot.pdf script] for the [[unaired pilot]], Hiro says he learned about time travel from "''X-Men'', issue 117, when Wolverine breaks into Professor Xavier's lair".
