* ShoutOut: Chief Cruz's TroubledBackstoryFlashback is similar to Franchise/{{Batman}}'s origin story: as a child, he went to see a movie with his father, and on their way back, the father was murdered in front of him. Very {{iron|y}}ic, as Chief Cruz is the police officer hell-bent on bringing vigilantes to justice and Batman is a vigilante.

** It's also similar to [[WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 Evelyn Deavor's]] in that both characters see overreliance on superheroes as the reason their Dads were killed and now believe the world is better without them. While [[{{Foil}} Evelyn became a villain bent on making sure superheroes remained discredited, Chief Cruz became a cop who actually tries to do his part to create a world that doesn't need superheroes]].
