We meet one of the final key characters of the story, MR. BABY.
Archangel #2, Page 19
Page 19 VINCE on the run
Panel 1
VINCE fires, he may have hit someone. I'm sure VINCE must use Rex Applegate's Instinctive Aiming approach, if, as William Gibson has suggested, he was trained by Applegate.
Panels 2-3
It looks like he got the driver.
Panels 4-5
VINCE runs for it.

VINCE has a Derringer in an ankle-holster. The Remington Derringer was manufactured from 1866 until 1935.
Panel 4
[No comment].
Panels 5-6
Could this be an allusion to "Life on Mars"? A BBC TV show where the protagonist (Sam Tyler) kinda travels back in time to the 1970s.

William Gibson notes that VINCE having a hold-out gun like this is inspired by OSS Colonel Rex Applegate, whose book Kill or Get Killed (1943) is considered a classic manual of combat. He also notes that Applegate may have trained VINCE.

Panel 3

Panel 1
I love chemistry equipment, in the foreground that looks like a condenser to me, but it might be a fancy burette.
Panel 2
JUNIOR may know that NAOMI has material from the future.
Panel 3-5
This may be just JUNIOR being a jerk, or he may be trying to delay the discovery of anything incontrovertible that he is from the future.

Panel 1
"TELEVISION" - If THE CREEPSUIT does use micro-cameras and micro-projectors, then the answer isn't a bad one.
Panel 2
That makes sense.
Panel 3
"NOT YOUR FUTURE. YOUR WORLD HERE, EVERYTHING, IT'S A COPY...EGGHEADS IN MY WORLD SPLIT IT OFF FROM OUR TIMELINE" - This makes a lot of sense in terms of our current understanding of quantum physics, time travel per se is impossible like in THE TIME TUNNEL, but it may be possible to interact with (or create) a parallel reality. In this case THE SPLITTER has caused THE PILOT to enter a parallel reality which is exactly the same as his own reality, but everything is running 70 years slower, and changes in that reality could impact his reality because of the effects of quantum entanglement, in the same way that a Young's slits experiment with a single series of quanta will still generate an interference pattern. The parallel reality is either created, or "knows the right place to be" to cause the interference. All of this assumes a Many-Worlds Interpretation of quantum physics, for more detail see "The Fabric of Reality" by David Deutsch.

H.G. Wells wrote "The Invisible Man", it was originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, and was published as a novel the same year.
H.G. Wells also wrote "The Time Machine" in 1895 which has similar themes to Archangel. Also H.G. Wells himself travelled to the 1970s to catch Jack the Ripper:

Panel 1
"IN A DECADE" - It might be polypropylene (aka polypropene) which was polymerized to a crystalline isotactic polymer in 1954. I really, really want NAOMI to say it's a "long chain monomer".
This confirms that NAOMI is an expert in Materials Science.
Test tubes have been around since the early 1800s. They may have been invented by Baron Jöns Jacob Berzelius.

Panel 3
The gun is merged with the table, I suppose because things have to be falling to be transported in THE SPLITTER, sometimes it can be difficult to be precise with the delivery co-ordinates.
The gun looks like a modified Desert Eagle Mark XIX (I'm not really sure, we don't have guns in Ireland).
Panel 4
THE PILOT zips up the suit
Panel 5
THE CREEPSUIT allows THE PILOT to vanish. Invisibility cloaks can work in several different ways, some have tiny cameras on the back that project whatever they are seeing on the front, and vice versa. Others use nanoantennas (gold blocks) engineered in such a way as to reroute reflected light waves so that the object is rendered invisible.
