Spoilers!!!!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE STORY TO BE SPOILED.

Halo 4's "legendary difficulty" symbol is Didact!

The right eye of the legendary difficulty symbol is missing!

In the most recent comic, Master Chief, the baddest of bad, stabbed Ur-Didact on the right eye with a giant knife!

The legendary difficulty symbol is also what appears to be a Forerunner Promethean skull! (BEFORE BEING COMPOSED)—This unsigned comment was made by Cool pebbles (talkcontribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Wow, kool spoiler. -_- --Killamin7 [Comm|Files] 12:31, 4 September 2014 (EDT)
Actually, I'm curious whether A) the Legendary icon was created with this plot twist in mind or B) the scene om Escalation #9 was written as a subtle Easter egg. I suppose the former is more likely. It's clever nonetheless. --Our vengeance is at hand. Gravemind.svg (Talk to me.) 15:23, 4 September 2014 (EDT)
Nickpicker alert: You misspelled "on". In regards to your comment, wouldn't I be wrong or were you being just as sarcastic as I was? lol I honestly didn't see it as a spoiler considering it's been a week since the release. But what made me sarcastic was the way he wrote everything especially the "before being composed" part. To be honest, just like you, I found it to be interesting but I didn't pay it too much mind. I would have if the Didact actually pulled the knife out of his eye socket or better yet, removed his helmet to pull it out leaving a bloody eye socket. Otherwise, w/ the helmet still on, it kind of obscures the resemblance.--Killamin7 [Comm|Files] 16:06, 4 September 2014 (EDT)
The move really was for the sake of the handful of people who haven't read the issue. Honestly. The way it conforms to the OP's tone is just a bonus. ;) Anyway, there's one thing I noticed the first time I read the issue which has bothered me on subsequent readings. The Didact's eye slits clearly don't line up with his eyes in Halo 4. Food for thought.
