Doc Chevy is super interested in Frix's Tissue Recombobulator. Her powers accelerate the body's natural repair mechanisms, but she's become about 8x more effective with her abilities since she got her doctorate. She's trained as a trauma surgeon, but her specialty is in Regenerative Medicine. She actually does very little surgery, using it only to supplement her normal healing powers. Like, she'll cut out shrapnel or remove tissue that's been so damaged that trying to repair it would take more effort than regenerating it, like 4th degree burns, or tissue destroyed by acid, leaving the victim looking like the guy from Robocop after he fell in that vat of industrial waste, or like Toht (the nazi guy from Raiders of the Lost Ark who got the medallion burned into his hand) halfway through his Ark face melting scene.
But grilling Frix about how the Recombobulator works could give her a lot of ideas on how to better leverage her abilities. Even if she can't create a virtualized cellular substrate to pre-viz the new tissue matrix before creating proto-stem cells. There's also a button on it that filters out technobabble, labeled "Fix Owie." It's next to the "Kiss it Better" switch and the "Boo-boo go bye-bye" lever.
I'm torn if I should call attention to Anvil's shirt. It might be too subtle, and if I don't mention it, no one will go "Hmm..." But if I don't and one guy does figure it out, then he'll be all "I'm the guy! I got it!" And he'll be king of the nerds all day. So this is me not mentioning it, for that guy's sake.

Max has her "internal LOL" expression in panel 7. Note the Spock eyebrow.

Dazzler is the prime suspect on the web page.

I first tried a hex converter for the separate pairs, but the numbers made no sense. So I converted the entire sequence... and groaned.
