Quote1 The crowds rumbled with hate... The officials gasped with surprise! But the truth could no longer be hidden from the people! The man who had fought an inferiority complex, and struggled to power, never realized that deep down, he didn't believe in himself! Quote2

Notes

  • "The Giant Killer" is heavily altered from its original story. Changing all of the references of the Soviets to a "foreign nation" and replacing any Russian sounding names such as "Chenkov" now being "Dr. Tybol" and "Colonel Protoff" now being "Colonel Fang". References to "China" and "Mongolia" have also been replaced by "Asia".
