1* ColbertBump: The series gained some attention due to people not believing it actually exists after receiving a ShoutOut in Creator/TeamFourStar's ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' at the end of a list including ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', and ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' in an attempt to describe the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Ginyu Force]].
2* EnforcedMethodActing: The scene in the first episode where Nimbar gives the cast their titular tattoos with a mangled, slimy hand didn't require much acting -- the cast had ''no idea'' what the hell that goop was, and were understandably squicked out.
3* FollowTheLeader: This series was created following the success of ''Power Rangers''. As such, it contains several similarities.
4* HeAlsoDid: Richard Nason once showed up as a contestant on ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' where he and Bob Barker got a chuckle out of discussing this show.
5* MoneyDearBoy: Jill Urbach (then known as K. Jill Sorgen) has more or less admitted that she was just happy to be working by the time she got the role of Drew.
6* NoBudget:
7** For starters, the MonstersOfTheWeek were recurring villains so that the producers wouldn't have to pay for new costumes every episode.
8** The most damning evidence of this is the fact they didn't even have film, and instead recorded on videotape.
9** The entire 40 episodes of the show are confined to just seven sets, reused over and over: a backyard, a hallway, the heroes' lair, the coffee shop, the bad guys' hideout, a quarry, and a city.
10* PropRecycling: The Predaraptor suit is actually made from, of all things, an unused suit that was meant to be used as Koopa’s last form in the live-action ''[[Film/SuperMarioBros1993 Super Mario Bros.]]'' movie, the head being recognizable from one of its de-evolved forms seen briefly in the movie.
11* StuntDouble: For all the heroes in their giant forms. Seriously, they go from normal to ''ripped'':
12--> '''Laurie:''' (when they first transform) This would take years of working out!
13* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Rumor has it that the show was originally supposed to be an adaptation of the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' spinoff ''Series/AndroMelos'', but these plans were cancelled. These rumors likely stem from a combination of the fact that ''Series/SuperHumanSamuraiSyberSquad'', another Creator/{{DiC|Entertainment}} production, was made by Tsuburaya Productions, the producers of ''Andro Melos'', and that ''Andro Melos'' features four main characters, who presumably would've been used for the four main characters of this show.
