Comment(s):
- The 23 year old Walker Gabriel appears in the Garden of Destiny, then in an alternate timeline Wednesday October 5, 1998, then in 1985 attempting to avert Theresa Gabriel's death; then a return to the Garden of Destiny, then back to Chronopolis when he was an infant where he diverts his entire timeline, effectively erasing his prior history and turning his life into a time paradox.
- Since Walker Gabriel has erased himself from his adoptive parents' history, it appears they had given birth to or adopted a daughter, Lizzie.
- By saving Theresa Gabriel's life, Walker Gabriel creates an alternate timeline in which the United States of America and the Soviet Union entered an eleven year long war, still ongoing in 1998. At least one nuclear exchange has occured. Most of America's superhumans are killed in the "Purification Strike." In this 1998, the Walker Gabriel of this timeline is part of a project to change the timeline, and thus the war, in America's favor.
