- Robby becomes several heroes in the course of this story. Their names and a brief description will be listed in the Guest Appearances category.
- King Clay gives his members of his gang a formula that gives their skin a claylike appearance and allows them to stretch and form their bodies. It may be a derivative of the formula first used by Matt Hagen.
