Gage told Marvel.com in a recent interview.
The really cool thing for me, re-reading the original event, was realizing how many opportunities there were to go deeper into the story.
That’s why we called it Unmasked. It’s an allusion to the literal unmasking required by the Superhuman Registration Act, of course, but it also refers to getting into the heads of some of the main characters to ‘unmask’ why they made some of the consequential decisions they did.”
