!!Live-Action TV:
* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Elliot Fletcher is a trans man and plays Sam Jordan, who shares his gender.
* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: Attempts at getting the comic series a LiveActionAdaptation have been fraught, to say the least. In early 2007, Creator/NewLineCinema bought the film rights. The screenwriter got to work and the cameras were supposed to start rolling by Fall 2008. The script passed through many hands including Brian K. Vaughan himself but no one could crack compressing the story enough to fit into a movie's runtime while still staying true to the original series. Ultimately the director D.J. Caruso and his team pitched a trilogy to New Line (the first movie would have ended at issue #14) but were told it needed to be one movie. Caruso couldn't make it work and quit the project. By 2013, a new script that the studio felt was workable was written and then they hired a new director, aiming to shoot in 2014. However, the rights reverted back to Vaughan and co-creator Pia Guerra by the time it could start shooting. In 2015, Vaughan and Guerra optioned the rights for a show to debut on Creator/{{FX|Networks}} which was set to debut sometime in 2019 or 2020, over a decade after the rights were first sold. Then, in April 2019, it was reported that showrunners Aida Mashaka Croal and Michael Green had exited the project during pre-production due to CreativeDifferences, leaving the show in limbo as well. After they left, the show was significantly retooled and was supposed to start shooting in March 2020 but was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The series was eventually premiered on September 13, 2021 as a production of FX on Hulu.
* TechnologyMarchesOn: The 2002-2008 comic still had people using flip phones and the Internet not as fast. The series does update this although also the excuse that in the aftermath of the outbreak, the Internet itself is broken.

* The Culper Ring references George Washington's network of spies at work primarily in British-occupied New York during the American Revolution. Agent 355 was one such agent. While she is known to have been a woman of some station, given the people with whom she had contact, her name was never revealed and remains unknown to this day. One theory is that there was no specific Agent 355, but that it was a code name assigned to any woman who aided the Culper Ring (355 translates to "lady" in the numerical code used by the Ring).

While the heads at FX are optimistic for a 2020 premiere, time will only tell if they can move forward, especially when the actor playing the titular "last man" himself left after the pilot episode was filmed.
