* Mark and Stan have a real, sweet, genuine friendship, bonding over the fact that they're ''different'', and that they can really understand each other. Race, even species, is no issue between them. After the government outs Hyperion as an alien, and everyone's running scared from him, he and Stan have a nice, quite talk, where Stan gives Mark a message from Stan's mom. "If you see that nice, flying white boy, you tell him I said to hell with the government, he's welcome in my home anytime."
* Doctor Spectrum meets Amphibian while in his bubble underwater and they bond with each other. Doctor Spectrum becomes close with her and when he asks her about her parents, she tells him she doesn’t have any.
