* In real life, Julius Schwartz was discussing the story with Alan Moore, and told Moore that he wasn't sure who would write it. Moore allegedly responded by standing up, grabbing Schwartz by the throat, and threatening to kill him if he wasn't the one who wrote the story. There's a reason Alan Moore is considered a MemeticBadass among comic writers - he can be ''terrifying''.
** [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Alternatively,]] he can also seem like a [[AxCrazy psychopathic madman]] waiting to snap.
** It should be noted that the story's not actually ''true'', [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments but Alan did admit to it.]]
-->'''Moore, in his obituary for Schwartz:''' He ruined my reputation as a gentle pacifist by claiming that I'd seized him by the throat and sworn to kill him if he didn't let me write his final episodes of Superman, and how, now, am I supposed to contradict a classic Julius Schwartz yarn? So, all right: it's true. I picked him up and shook him like a British nanny, and I hope whenever he is now, he's satisfied by this shamefaced confession.

* Myxzptlk gets torn in half in the finale. Despite him being a nebulous 5-d being at the time, it's still rather unnerving to see his image splitting down the middle. Not to mention his scream.
** Hell, just his appearance overall. We finally get to see his true OneWingedAngel form, a purple-black humanoid giant which bends space around it just by existing. Or even just [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/2835/451328-supermanwhttmot_42_whatever_happened_to_the_man_of_tomorrow.jpg his appearance at first, still in his traditional "imp" form, except his color scheme is now notably darker.]] He now has a clearly evil look on his face as well.
