Notes and Trivia

1) 2) 3) 4) 5)

1)
The original design for Box by John Byrne was intentionally somewhat clunky and robotic, emphasizing that it was a machine being piloted. When Madison Jeffries took over, artists like Jim Lee began depicting the armor as more organic and fluid to reflect Jeffries' complete integration with it.
2)
Roger Bochs' first name is a tribute to Roger Bacon, a medieval philosopher and scientist who did early work in the field of optics and was a proponent of the experimental method.
3)
In the comics, Madison Jeffries' brother, Lionel Jeffries, was the supervillain known as Scramble, the Mixed-Up Man, who possessed the power to warp organic matter. This created a tragic family dynamic where Madison could control machines and Lionel could control flesh, representing two sides of a terrifying coin.

Source Material: Key issues for understanding Box's history include Alpha Flight (1983) #1, #11-13, #28, #46, and Chaos War: Alpha Flight (2011) #1.

Despite being one of Canada's most powerful heroes, Madison Jeffries' control of the Box armor technically makes him a technopath of Omega-level potential, though he is rarely classified as such.
