**The idea of Clutch Powers being in a vanity project which starred, was produced by, funded by, and directed by himself came from a conversation between Joshua Deck and Tommy Andreasen.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/1393193969044045831
*This series is similar to Marvel's What If...? series. Both are 2021 animated anthologies based on existing franchises, and both consist of episodes showing "re-imagined" or "spin-off" stories from the main story line.
**This series is also similar to Star Wars: Visions. Both are "re-imagined" stories of their respective franchises, both feature collaborations between different animation studios, and both were released in 2021.

*Although he appears in "Golden Hour," Cole is the only ninja that does not have a speaking role.
