Hail!
The best Christmas present Crystal could ever receive is any baby picture of her with her real family. Santa delivered and Marcus got all the rewards. It's just as well. Santa isn't in it for the groupies. No. He's all about helping others much like the Starbolts. Still, I wonder a few things. Where did he get that picture? Well, as it turns out Marcus's hunch is correct.
Santa took it upon himself to go into an alternate reality where Carter and Crystal were raised by the Whitefoxes. There, he found a photo of the family, made a copy of it and brought it back to his own reality. Now, you might say that the family isn't really "hers" because it came from a different reality. Here's the thing. For all intents and purposes it is her family. There's only a few minor differences and Santa had to find the one reality in the multiverse where the differences are negligible aside from one major difference: Who got to raise Carter and Crystal? I hope that makes sense. There's a lot of timey-wimey stuff involved here.
Now, I bet you're wondering about the other names jolly old Saint Nick has under his belt. Well, the Norse have called him Odin. Could he be Odin in disguise? Perhaps. The signs are all here in this comic. He lives in the cold Arctic. He has a long, flowing beard. He called Tommy a "mortal". The only thing is Odin has ONE eye. Eh....I'm sure the elves made one for him in the workshop. Then again Santa could be from another pantheon altogether. You never know. Gods do exist in this universe. Santa being Odin makes sense. Just be thankful he isn't Zeus.
The Christmas trilogy has come to an end. You can read the other two here:
Starbolts #661: Days of Christmas Past
Starbolts #662: Days of Christmas Present
Tune in next time for the year-end spectacular! I hope everyone has an amazing Holiday! See ya next time!
