Hickman's line of thinking is that past Mark would not know that Robot was there when he was. Old Mark would then come over eventually to find that Robot's brain had taken over..."or something."
This leaves too many questions though, which is what leads me to believe that he really just forgot about this whole thing until a reader called him out and they're only putting it on this panel so everyone else with the same thoughts won't come asking for years to come lmao
So. Did Robot attempt to take over and was "dealt" with by Immortal when he tried to drive him crazy? Past Mark wasn't aware of his presence, true...but Hickman says he "was" there, leading us into the idea that
Robot just simply took over after Immortal was killed and basically this is what Mark has to deal with when he comes back to find it taken over years later?
Does he leave Earth alone or is this the part where we're to "just assume it was taken care of in some fashion". <---I like this option better I think because it would at least mean Robot gets dealt with eventually. Again.
