Trivia / Ward

• Ascended Meme: In one arc, Victoria grabs a minor villain named Etna and throws her into a hill, hard, during a fight. Etna is afterward revealed to have retired from villainy and started working with the heroes, leading to jokes that Victoria threw her so hard it turned her good. In the epilogue, Victoria receives an e-mail from Etna jokingly asking if Victoria could throw another villain through a hill and turn them good as well.
• Tuckerization: Several of the PHO users that appear in Glow-worm are based on real fans and posters in the Parahumans fandom, most notably Nakyak, which is Kyakan spelled backwards. Kyakan is a respected figure in the fandom notable for his vast and accurate knowledge of both Worm and Ward, and his ability to quickly find sources for obscure trivia and WOGs.
• What Could Have Been: Several characters had been considered for a protagonist before Victoria, including:
  • A cluster trigger with a number of similarities to Rain◊, including powers and the gimmick of his cluster.
  • Damsel of Distress◊.
  • A version of Capricorn as a brother-sister pair◊, with a similar dynamic to the canon duo but the girl being closer to March than Tristan.
