• Dana's last name was originally going to be named "Andrews" after Julie Andrews but was later changed to "Harker" as a homage to Mina Harker from "Bram Stoker's Dracula".
     
  • The style of writing in "The Darkness of Shadows" was inspired by Laurell K. Hamilton, but without the in-depth detail of the sex scenes.
     
  • Trinity's last name was named after Buffy's from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".
     
  • The professor's last name was taken from a character in "Family Guy".
     
  • Raphael's personality was based partly on any of Tim Curry or Rufus Sewell's villainous roles.  There is also mention of the similarities in their personalities.

  • Nightcat was originally going to be named Black Cat until it was realized that Marvel Comics was already using that name for a character in the Spider-Man comic.
     
  • Nightcat and especially Raphael's body structures were both inspired by "Disney's Gargoyles".
     
  • Nightcat's look wasn't actually linked to Tigra of the Marvel universe.  I didn't know of any well known female superheroes that was actually mutated with cat DNA.  Most wore a costume that looked catlike in nature and either had some sort of technological enhancements to make them more cat like or just had abilities that were similar to a cat's.
     
  • Nightcat originally had a tuft of fur on the end of her tail like a lioness.

  • Nightcat's healing factor was inspired in part by Wolverine of the X-Men.
