*Hex's hairstyle is the same just like his Omniverse design but is colored white.

*This episode allowed Kelly Turnbull to fulfill two of her long-standing goals for the series: showing how Hex keeps escaping prison and getting Robin Atkin Downes to say a MGS quote.
*During the production of this episode, Kelly wanted to Hex team up with Zombozo because they are both monochromatic pointy-toothed cat-eyed "magicians" and have an odd-couple energy with Hex's snobby serious no-fun attitude and Zombobo's maniac glee.
**The original pitch was that Zombozo would trick Hex into thinking that the magic club was a secret wizard society that snubbed him so he could rob them blind while they were distracted by Hex going nuclear.
**However, the episode was rewritten and Zombozo was removed because Kelly could not add John DiMaggio to the voice cast just for a one-off gaga at the beginning. Luckily, Zombozo was replaced with Steam Smythe because Roger Craig Smith was voicing Scottie Fang/Hal Kazam.
