## Quotes

"Who are you calling a villain?" - *Archenemies*

"Don't say *ass." - Archenemies*

"They're always giving me a tough time, but they don't know how hard it is to be this charming. It takes real dedication" - *Archenemies*

"To be honest, I'm not sure are such things as villains anymore. Maybe there never really were." - *Supernova*

## Trivia

* Captain Chromium's body is lined with chromium directly beneath the skin as well as in other parts of his body. Nova believes the only possible way to kill Captain Chromium is to shoot him in the eye, the one place where the tip of her poisonous dart will not snap. It is unknown whether or not Captain Chromium is invincible to poisons and whether this would have actually worked.
* Max's absorption has no affect on Captain Chromium.
* Captain Chromium can drink anything extremely hot or cold without feeling pain.
* Hugh Everhart and Simon Westwood are the only confirmed LGBT+ couple seen in the series.
	+ They are also the first LGBT+ characters in Marissa Meyer's bibliography.
* Hugh's ability to be immune to all powers is based off of the real-life element chromium, which is used to make stainless steel (giving it anti-corrosion properties). It is a hard, steely transition metal.
