## Trivia

* Metal Claw is a young antagonist seeking acknowledgement from the League of Villainous Evil Cats, which seems to be a parody of the Guild of Calamitous Intent from the animated series *The Venture Bros.*
* She might also be a parody of *Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog* as she wants to join the League of Villainous Evil Cats and talks about singing after her defeat by Justicecat, just like the character in that series.
* Metal Claw has a tendency to narrate her situation and goals in the form of a powerful expository ballad, a trait often shared among villains.
* In the Call of Heroes 2018 Quest Metal Claw abducts Conan and makes him a villain/thrall known as the Masked Blade.
	+ The Masked Blade wears a metal claw as a cloak pin, possibly signifying his status as a minion to Metal Claw.
* Metal Claw is Justicecat's archnemesis.
	+ They have a cat-and-mouse relationship in which Justicecat "pities" Metal Claw to the point where he allows her to escape regularly so she can devise another evil scheme, only to be defeated and allowed to go free again, typical of hero/villain relationships.
* Metal Claw is a Munchkin cat, a breed based on a genetic mutation that results in shortened legs.
	+ Bella, Berry, Clarkii, Lucy, Magic Mia, Mrs Paws, Olivia, Pete, Saito and Snowball are other *Castle Cats* heroes known to be Munchkins.
* In the Call of Heroes 2023 Quest, Metal Claw finally receives a letter from the League of True Evil after gaining considerable power and turning on her only ally.
