The latest '90s themed Hellfire Gala had one last shocking twist - that the late, great artist formerly known as Prince was likely a mutant all along.
Marvel has always strived to present the "world outside your window" - the cities, landmarks, pop culture and major figures tend to be very similar to the readers' world.

Readers are treated to a '90s version of the Hellfire Gala, replete with era-accurate celebrity cameos, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Macaulay Caulkin.
