* StealthSequel: Just as ''ComicBook/NewGods'' before it was intended as a follow-up to Kirby's run on ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' by establishing a new pantheon rising from the ashes of a post-Ragnarok Asgard, this series is hinted to be a continuation of ''New Gods'' (albeit with names [[WritingAroundTrademarks changed or left unmentioned]] to prevent litigation from DC), with Captain Victory's grandfather Blackmass heavily implied to be Darkseid and his deceased father being unnamed, but hinted to be Orion through Blackmass noting how stubborn and defiant Captain Victory's father was and Victory being able to escape the planet Hellikost in his youth by piecing together a device based on a design created by his father, which is unmistakably Orion's Astro-Harness.
Added DiffLines:
* WritingAroundTrademarks: Since the series couldn't legally reuse the names of characters and concepts from ''New Gods'' without DC possibly suing for trademark infringement, Captain Victory's grandfather is named Blackmass instead of Darkseid, his home planet is named Hellikost instead of Apokolips and his deceased father is unnamed, but strongly implied to be Orion.

Years later, the rights to the series landed with Creator/DynamiteComics, who revived the franchise as part of ''ComicBook/KirbyGenesis'', a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover involving as many of Kirby's creator-owned characters as Dynamite could acquire. This led to a new six-issue miniseries, in which the good captain and his crew dealt with the modern world.
In 2014, Creator/JoeCasey put out a six-issue miniseries involving Captain Victory. In this reimagining, the current Captain Victory is killed in battle, and an accident causes two of his clones to be sent to opposite ends of the galaxy, forcing his crew to find them while also battling against Blackmaas and dealing with Ranger Central, which has assumed that Victory is dead and wants the ''Tiger'' to return home to get a new captain.

''Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers'' is a comic-book franchise originally created by Creator/JackKirby for Pacific Comics in 1981. One of Pacific's first titles, it was originally a SpiritualSuccessor to Kirby's ''ComicBook/NewGods'', telling the story of Captain Victory, the brave captain of the dreadnaught ''Tiger'', as he battled his villainous grandfather Blackmaas, dictator of the planet Hellikost. The series lasted 13 issues, but by 1984, Pacific had collapsed and Captain Victory faded into obscurity. A revival, called ''Victory'' was attempted by Topps Comics in 1994, but was cancelled after only one issue. Kirby himself died that year.
Years later, the rights to the series landed with Creator/DynamiteComics, who revived the franchise as part of ''ComicBook/KirbyGenesis'', a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover involving as many of Kirby's creator-owned characters as Dynamite could acquire. This led to a new six-issue miniseries, in which the good captain and his crew dealt with the modern world.
