* DevelopmentGag: The game's creators have said repeatedly that Absolute Zero was heavily reworked from his original conception, going from essentially "Ra with an ice gun instead of a fire staff" to his current design. During the Absolute Zero episode of the Sentinels podcast, Adam and Christopher revealed that, in the fictitious world of Sentinels Comics, there was an unrelated [[TheGoldenAgeofComicBooks Golden Age]] hero named Henry Goodman who took the alias Absolute Zero to fight Nazis with an ice gun and co-founded the original Freedom Four before being forgotten due to a lack of popularity in-universe (and later replaced on the rebooted Freedom Five by the current Absolute Zero, [[PunnyName Ryan Frost]]). Later in the podcast episode, Adam and Christopher state that a reference to the origins of the character.

** Absolute Zero was heavily reworked over time, starting off as just a scientist with a freeze ray (and a deck similar to Ra's, but ice-themed, according to WordOfGod). The creators decided this was too boring and tried to spice things up with a deeper, more-tragic backstory before just deciding to rebuild the idea from the ground up to make it more interesting. The "original" Absolute Zero remains in the game's fictional backstory as a LegacyHero from World War II days replaced by the current version of the hero.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Revenant and Setback were two of Adam Rebottaro's oldest ideas for a hero and a villain. However, once Kismet won a contest for a fan-submitted super-villain character, she was too perfect ''not'' to use as Setback's nemesis. Thus, despite his [[CCGImportanceDissonance great importance to the overall storyline]], Revenant never gets to appear in-person as anything more than a minion in one of the ''Vengeance'' decks.

** One commonly accepted theory was that the Visionary came from the Iron Legacy future, spurred by Iron Legacy showing up on the art of one of her cards, with her referencing that the Legacy she knows is an "angrier man." The game's writers have said that while her Paul Parsons might be more hardened, he's not Iron Legacy.
