Dark Reflections: Chaos Page 200 - Knockout of the Cabin Door
Update: Just realised 3 days later that I forgot to put that this was a Dark Reflections: Chaos page and that this was Page 200 for anyone sorting these in their email using those terms as search criteria hence the title update!
The release of that film around this time was a total coincide...

Totally a coincidence that Wolverine-styled blades appeared!
I narrowly missed out going to the same school at the same time as Wolverine as it happened due to the vicissitudes of fate. There was also Agent Smith but he was before both our times.

Maybe not the exactly be the correct use of this term but this character's name is the Wolf and he knows something's up!
We don't get to formally learn his name until the next page in this dimensional sub-branch, though.

The name of the classic 1997 action film by director John Woo (check out his Hong Kong classics The Killer and Hardboiled, they're great!) and starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage trying to one up each other's performances. Definitely a film I'd also highly recommend!

Neither is this one given everyone in it doesn't appear particularly relaxed!
