Linkara points out that the dialogue one of the characters uses in the ''Nightcat'' comic sounds horribly out-dated That is, the comic was written in the 1990s but has slang that sounds like it came from the 1970s.

* ''[[X Men Evolution]]'': Forge can't help it that his slang's outdated, he's been in stasis since the 1970s. Nightcrawler comments on it anyway.
