011. It's that number, tattooed onto El, that gives the character her name, and it's not something really looked into beyond that.

But if she is number 11, then does that mean we're to assume she is the eleventh subject, and there before her there were numbers 001-010? It would make sense, given the nature of the laboratory, but that leads to the question of what exactly happened to the first ten subjects?

Were they killed? Could they still be out there somewhere? What powers might they have if so?
