History Trivia / SentinelsOfTheMultiverse

* IKnewIt:
** At least half the forums called that [[spoiler: Grand Warlord Voss]] was the tenth Scion of [=OblivAeon=]. Christopher and Adam had been getting letters about it since the start of the Letters Page podcast.
** As soon as the Kickstarter for Rook City Renegades (basically, the Definitive Edition version of the Rook City[=/=]Infernal Relics combo) went live, people immediately predicted the redacted hero was Alpha, a character who originated in the Letters Page, and by extension one of the redacted villains was her nemesis, Apex.

* TheWikiRule: [[http://sentinelswiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page Maintained by some fans from the Greater Than Games forums.]]

* 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.

* 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 [[UsefulNotes/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.

* GrowingTheBeard: While Enhanced Edition is a solid card game with plenty of positives, practically all Sentinels fans agree that Definitive Edition was a MASSIVE improvement across the board. Every hero, villain, and environment was rebalanced in such a way that addressed many of the flaws they had in the original game and made them far more fun to play with; annoying or boring villain mechanics were tossed, overly complex hero gimmicks (setback's luck tokens, harpy's control tokens, ect.) were replaced with more streamlined effects, and games move along FAR faster than they did before.

* FandomLifeCycle: Currently at stage 2. The game has multiple dedicated sub-forums within the Greater than Games forum but is very little known outside of there.

* FanNickname:
** Omnitron is called Omni for short.
** Like Omnitron, Omnitron-X is called Omni, Omni-X, or simply OX for short.
** The Legacies: Legs for Legacy, Baby Legacy for Young Legacy, Angry Paul for Iron Legacy, and Old Legs for Greatest Legacy.
** Greatest Legacy has also gained the nickname Grandpa Legacy from both the creators and fanbase alike.
** Expatriette is shorted to Expat.
** Turducken, for the rare occasion when Naturalist is able to finagle all three of his form cards out at once.
** Omnitron's (the villain) variant, Cosmic Omnitron or Omnitron II is also known as Cosmitron.
** Captain Cosmic often gets called "Space Dad" for his stereotypically dad-like looks and serious, sometimes mentorly demeanor (also the fact that he has a habit of leaving children scattered around the cosmos). This one Christopher and Adam themselves started using.
** Sky-Scraper gets "Sky-Sky" from one of Handelabra's streamers calling her that and it catching on afterwards.

* {{Jossed}}: WordOfGod will occasionally step in to shoot down fan theories.
** 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.
** Another was that the Scholar's Philosopher Stone is an [=OblivAeon=] shard. This, too, was denied by WordOfGod.

* JustForFun/OneOfUs: Christopher and Adam are at least aware of Wiki/TVTropes, given that they namedrop several tropes on the Letters Page. They’re also huge comic book nerds and love telling stories which is how they got into this whole card game thing in the first place.

** They also poke fun at it from time to time -- in The Wraith's episode of the ''Letters Page'' podcast, they open by joking that the Wraith is actually three cats in a human suit before quipping, "That's canon, by the way," and moving on.
