* RecycledSet: Used for dramatic purposes. Doctor Harrow's monumental office room is actually the same set as the attic storeroom in the second episode, redressed to a point where it's nearly unrecognizable. This works as yet another implication of how the two worlds influence one another.

** Bushman was initially going to be featured as the BigBad of the series rather than simply being mentioned in the show proper, but Jeremy Slater requested to Marvel that he be scrapped for a myriad of reasons. This was due to the character having been subject to a lot of negative stereotypes and controversy over the years, the fact that he would be a HopelessBossFight for Steven but subject to a CurbStompBattle to Marc Spector, and ultimately had too much in common with [[Film/BlackPanther2018 Erik Killmonger]] to be interesting.

Not only is Marc Spector’s third personality not Khonshu (it’s [[spoiler:Jake Lockley]]), he is not played by Oscar Isaac either. Khonshu is a deity and is voiced by Creator/FMurrayAbraham.
