* ShoutOut; The part with Mighty Max stopping Zygote alludes to "The Man who Evolved" by Creator/EdmondHamilton, where the titular character wants to rule Earth at one point (to use as a lab), so [[spoiler:the narrator convinces him to evolve until he wants it no more than ruling an anthill.]]

Split "Evolutionary Levels" into "Evolutionary Levels" and "Goal-Oriented Evolution" since the two tropes have been updated.


* EvolutionaryLevels: Dr. Zygote evolves even further than he did last time, beyond his body with an evolved brain but an atrophied body, to a fowl-like configuration like Virgil, to a disembodied brain, then finally to an orb of pure mental energy.
** Gadge's powers are supposed to be the next step in human evolution, therefore implying that evolution proceeds by discrete steps.

Seeing Max and Norman willing to risk their lives to go back in for Virgil shows Gadge that people ''can'' do things just out of loyalty to someone else, prompting him to go back and help too.

Max, who used to want to stop being the Mighty One and just be a regular kid, tells Gadge that some things are a lot bigger than one person, and running away isn't an option.
