No mention of a character being renamed Pym, which would be a more significant--albeit less blatant--change, but admittedly there are no mention of character names at all, either, for this reprint or for the original. In fact, the original doesn't even acknowledge the reprint.

Remember when they fought that guy from the Simpsons - Hans Mole Man? Neat. [blockquote]"Plenty of current Marvel characters existed BEFORE the Fantastic Four made their debut in 1961.
