This episode got very cerebral, with interesting digressions on the nature of illusion and the metaphysical aspects of Chaos and Order ... it figures the girls would prefer Chaos.

I liked the Masters of Evil discussion and remember the Under Siege storyline fondly. I think Screaming Mimi is one of the only characters that doesn't get her own entry in this edition; she actually turned out to be a pretty cool character, genuinely reforming after joining the Thunderbolts and getting into a relationship with Beetle. In fact, the whole Thunderbolts concept grew from the idea of the Masters reforming and while many of them were faking it, some really did turn into good guys. They revisited the Under Siege storyline in Thunderbolts too, with Zemo using his powers to recreate Captain America's scrapbook that he tore to pieces during the attack on Avengers Mansion.
