* FranchiseOwnershipAcquisition: ''Champions'' underwent a barely-visible but significant transfer when the rights to the setting (but not the rules) were purchased outright by Creator/CrypticStudios when they wanted to use it for an Main/{{MMORPG}}. The rights were then licensed back to Hero Games for the tabletop game. Cryptic were themselves subsequently acquired by Creator/GearboxSoftware.

[=FREd=] is a backronym; it was originally adopted by members of the discussion boards from a comment made by Steve Long the he "...didn't care if they called it [the fifth edition] Fred..." as long as they bought it. Thus it was affectionately dubbed Fred, and only later turned into an acronym.
** The fourth edition rulebook was commonly known as the [=BBB=], for Big Blue Book (the main color used in the cover art). A fan discussion that started when everyone realized that Big Black Book (the main color on the [=5E=] cover) would have the same initials is what led to [=FREd=].
