But his reaction was a little too rapid, don'tcha think? He appears on his jetpack right after the explosion, as if he was standing near Casanova's mansion, waiting for him to act. As for the 20-year plan, when was it ever confirmed that it actually took him that long? Sure, it would sound ridiculous that he could brainstorm and build a machine like that in just one night, but we've seen comic book villains pull off more ridiculous stunts, so it wouldn't surprise me. Or perhaps he'd constructed it long ago and simply left it to gather dust. Heck, maybe that's what led to his capture: he was going to use it, and then Amazing stopped him, but either forgot about it or never figured out the full magnitude of the scheme.

There's also Amazing's tone when he confronts Casanova after the explosion. Aside from his usual smugness, his tone just reeks of "I expected you to do that", which Casanova expected, which Amazing knew he'd expect, which Casanova knew he'd know, which Amazing knew Casanova would know... except Casanova didn't. Did Amazing know that?

Amazing: "Of course."
