* MirrorCharacter: Erg is in many ways similar to Agent Turner of all people - both let their respective bad experiences with humans/mutants shape them into xenophobes, who won't even consider the possibility that members of the different species might be benign towards them. At the end of the episode however, Erg seems to be slowly getting over it.
