    • Trivia
      He is the writer of the 2006 comic book miniseries "Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk". Although in a previous 2004-2005 miniseries "The Ultimates," the Hulk had been said to have killed 800 people while on a rampage in New York, Lindelof gave the more exact figure in "Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk" #2 (April 2006) as 815. 815 is the flight number of the doomed Oceanic flight from which the castaways were stranded on "Lost", and constitutes three of the cursed "numbers" used as a recurring plot point on that show.
