Trivia: This episode depicted Bella Donna as being Gambit's former fiancée. In the comics, the two were actually married. This change was likely made for the show due to it being too mature of a theme for a kids' show for Gambit to have both an estranged wife and an extramarital relationship with Rogue.
Trivia: According to the book "X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series," the character of the External didn't have a counterpart established in the comics for the show's creators to base her on by the time this episode went into production, so director Larry Houston designed her himself, choosing to portray her as a Creole woman. The character's comic counterpart ended up debuting around the same time this episode aired, in Gambit #1, where she is a blonde Caucasian woman named Candra.
Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
