Pure Avengers topic

Back to AVENGERS spirit for this episode which begins like an espionage yarn and turns out to be a pure scif-fi piece of stuff. But all long the story, you have the feeling to watch a spy topic instead of a monster scheme. Very weird and unusual mix-up. Among the best of the NEW AVENGERS show.

Goofs
After Gambit fires the warning shot into the sewer roof using the tank stopping weapon he then points it back at Chislenko. However, it is a single shot weapon and was therefore now empty.

Quotes
Mike Gambit: [aiming a rocket gun at Chislenko] If I hit your little finger with this thing, friend... it will take your whole arm off.
Mike Gambit: [fires a warning shot, Chislenko drops his weapon] Assume the position. I assume you know how to assume?
