10. The settings.

* While *Freakish* took place in -, *Rebel Knights* took place in an fictional town in California called Santo Domingo.

9. *Rebel Knights* lasted longer than *Freakish*.

* With surprising plot twists, relationship troubles, and trying to be a little bit different from *Freakish*, *Rebel Knights* lasted five seasons with unforgettable moments on the show like the Grover-Jennifer thing and the shocking tragic death of Violet.

8. Natalie Callaway

* In the *Freakish* series, Natalie was injected with poison by the traitor John Collins and in the season 1 finale, she sacrifices herself to save her friends from the freaks and gets eaten alive. However, in *Rebel Knights*, she doesn't die in the season 1 finale, only Molly Costello. Natalie would go on to be one of most memorable Rebel Knight in the series. She had two shocking plot twists with her learning that she might be the unknown half-sister of fellow knight, Jennifer Malone and her shocking make-out with Jennifer's on and off lover, Grover Jones.

7. The series' plots

* In Freakish, the teens were trapped in their high school following the Kent Chemical Plant explosion and it's fog and turn the residents into freaks. In Rebel Knights, the town of Santo Domingo is invaded by evil space aliens and every adult resident is being transported off planet Earth and taken to a distant part of the galaxy. While Freakish deals with zombie-like freaks and it is a mixture of The Breakfast Club and The Walking Dead, Rebel Knights deals with teens battling aliens to take their town back and it is a mixture of The Tribe and Red Dawn.

6. The season 1 finales

* Freakish's first season finale saw the teens discover the John Collins a Keller spy and injected a pregnant Natalie Callaway with fatal poison. Although he would get his comeuppance, thanks to the freaks, it would come at an ultimate price for Natalie. After having one last moment with Diesel Turner, Natalie sacrifices herself to save the group by distracting the freaks. How heartbreaking and what a to "Jump the Shark". In Rebel Knights' first season finale, John Collins planned to inject fatal poison in Natalie, but fellow Rebel Knight Molly Costello volunteers to take the injection, knowing it was too risking for a pregnant girl to take. When the knights return that Collins is spy for the evil Lord Dreylock, they were too late to stop Collins from injecting the poison into Molly. Collins revealed that Dreylock was holding Collins' daughter captive and would only let her go if Collins captures the Rebel Knights and they surrender to him. Holding them at gunpoint, Collins takes the knights to Dreylock's base, while Natalie, who was separated from the comrades, did a background check on Collins back at the school. She learns that Collins doesn't have a family, let alone a daughter, and puts this information on paper and in Zoe Parker's jacket. The knight learn that they were in a trap and the fight for survival begins. Collins is killed and when things couldn't be worse, Dreylock, angered at his first setback, points a disruptor pistol at Cleo Costello and he fires it, only for Cleo's sister, Molly to take the blast while pushing her baby sister out of the way. Molly and Cleo share a heartfelt moment before Molly succumbs to her injury. It is mega-heartbreak to watch Molly's death and ever more heartbreak to watch a Rebel Knight to lose the only family member who had been there for her sibling from the start. Natalie survives to the next season and becomes a mother to a daughter named after her fallen friend.

5. Noodle Nelson and Mary Jones

* In Freakish's episode, Trapped, Mary Jones, who got bit by one of the freaks, began turning into one of the freaks. She ending up eating Noodle Nelson, killing him. In Rebel Knights, in the knights' first confrontation with evil Lord Dreylock, Barrett fires a blast at Dreylock's base, causing all hell to break loose and Dreylock shooting Noodle in the head, killing him and capturing Mary Jones. Noodle dies in both shows, but Mary survives throughout the series, but spends three years being Dreylock's bait for her brother.

4. Diesel and Natalie's Relationship

* In both Freakish and Rebel Knights, we see the Diesel-Natalie Relationship, we all ship. Diesel volunteers to love Natalie's baby as his own. But in Freakish, everything came to a crushing blow when Natalie dies in the season 1 finale and Diesel moved on to fellow survivor Sadie. But in Rebel Knight, Natalie survives, but her relationship with Diesel was met with challenges. Diesel shared with fellow knight Lori Tran and Natalie sharing a shocking bombshell kiss to Grover Jones. By the Rebel Knights' fifth and final season, Diesel shockingly purposes Natalie, but the two never made down the isle when Diesel is stabbed to death, leaving Natalie heartbroken and her pregnant with his baby.

3. The Grover-Natalie Bombshell

* On Freakish, Grover and Natalie were just friends before her shocking and heartbreaking death in the season 1 finale. But in Rebel Knights, Grover and Natalie fought Lord Dreylock and his army, the Queen Treachera and her crew, and Grover even delivered Natalie's daughter, Molly. However, the biggest plot twist that could ever happen to them was when the two had their first kiss on the steps of Santo Domingo High. Natalie was upset about Diesel kissing Lori Tran and Grover was struggling with whether or not he'll ever trust Jennifer Malone again. Then Natalie dropped a bombshell, she was attractive to Grover and she still was. Which led to this plot twist.

2. Grover and Barrett

* In both Freakish and Rebel Knights, Grover had developed strong mistrust towards Barrett. In Freakish, Barrett tried to used Grover's sister, Mary, who was turned into a freak, as an experiment and Barrett sends out help and Grover finds out about it. What was even more shocking, Barrett was connected to the Keller Plant Explosion. In Rebel Knights, Grover clashed with Barrett due to his actions, he started the attack by firing a blast at Dreylock's base, which resulted in Noodle getting killed and Mary being captured. He also killed a dying LaShawn and he knew of his mother supporting President Cunningham's decision to eliminate the Earth Defense Force Act, which led to two alien invasions in the series. However, Barrett's act of redemption came when he was killed before the season 3 finale. He was shot by the Tronics in the back, making him unable to move his legs. Grover was wounded as well. With the cabin they were in set to explode, Barrett chose to stay behind to blow up the Tronics, at the cost of his life, while Grover and Jennifer escaped with their lives. Barrett's last words to the Tronics were: "Yeah, Fuck You!" then pressing the button and the Cabin, the Tronics, and Barrett are blown up to oblivion. It was a good thing Grover and Barrett buried the hatchet before Barrett's fatal sacrifice.

1. Diesel and Barrett's deaths.

* Diesel Turner and Barrett McIntyre survived throughout the Freakish series. But in Rebel Knights, they both met a fatal end. When Barrett was killed off, he was shot in the back and the stomach. Unable to stand, he couldn't help Grover, who was also wounded. With the cabin the knights were in ready to blow, Barrett choses to remain behind to take care of the Tronics, while Grover and Jennifer made their escape. Barrett blow himself up along with the Tronics and the cabin as well. Diesel's death occurred in the fifth season where he is stabbed by Queen Treachera while rescuing a kidnapped Cleo, Jay, and Mary. Diesel's death was heartbreaking because he became the adoopted big brother figure to Cleo after her sister's death in the first season. He finally won Natalie back, and found a family with the Rebel Knights and Santo Domingo High had become his true home.
