* SpiritualAntithesis: Despite predating the show for 24 years, the short story ''Exo-Genesis'' has a very similar premise to ''Series/{{Westworld}}'' (the TV series, not the [[Film/{{Westworld}} film]], despite its premise is quite similar): Both works, especially in the case of the comic from which the ''Exo-Genesis'' [[ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF is based to]] are about [[spoiler:anthropomorphic beings created by the human race, in the first case, the beings are sentient androids created, and in the second case, they are humanoid animals. Also, in both cases, they were created by some enigmatic old scientist with very mysterious purposes (Robert Ford in ''Westworld'' and Charles Ambrose Komatsu in ''Exo-Genesis'' and both men [[MisanthropeSupreme despise humanity, and both having homicidal tendences)]]]]. But this is when the similarities ends: Komatsu, despite his own flaws, [[spoiler:wants to be alone with his own creations, so he could observe them from a close range, with the help of The Net, and the only reason he resorts to mass-murder was because the rest of the human staff members who left Toma-Aki wanted to return there in order to arrest him, since his sole presence would had jeopardized the whole project, so he didn't have other choice besides trying to kill them. Outside this, he is not interested on trying to destroy the human race or anything like that, and his own plans involves his creations and '''his''' creations exclusively]]. On the other hand, Dr. Ford from ''Westworld'' [[spoiler:is a even more complex character, for put it in better words, and he is somewhat more insanier than Komatsu is, and, unlike the ''Albedo'' counterpart, he wants to use his creations in order to replace the human race]].
* WhatAnIdiot: While not being canonical after all, the entire premise of ''Exo-Genesis'', and by default, had the whole story had being considered as an officially sanctionated story by Gallacci, of the whole comic, would had fallen in this territory if Komatsu, a very intelligent man who had considered every single detail of the whole project in advance, hadn't forgotten a very simple detail on his plans:
** '''You'd Expect:''' Komatsu, had taken into account that [[spoiler:violence is a natural attribute of living beings, and that it cannot be altered by artificial means, he would have looked for ways that this attribute would not alter his plans, and that his creations , especially the Lepines, became too violent, which would have caused none of the comic events to happen, or to happen differently]].
** '''Instead''': He forgot to even considerating that point, and when he already found out the biggest flaw in the project, it was too late to reverse course.
** '''What Ends Up Happening:''': All the events from the novella ''and'' the comic, by default.
