==Trivia==
*After Marvel Television was shut down shortly after the release of the first season, 20th Television Animation took over production on the series for its second season. As a result, the Marvel branding is omitted from the marketing in later seasons, including the title. 
**This is also the third production to be released by 20th Television that is based on a Marvel property that was not branded as such, following Legion and The Gifted.
