Despite being a co-production between Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox (the Film/XMenFilmSeries) and Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} (the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse), ''Legion'' is said to be set in neither of those continuities, but rather, its own {{parallel universe}}. Despite references to outside continuity, the series is designed to stand on its own.

** Ptonomy has a noticeably retro taste in suits, often wearing flat caps and waistcoats. He couples that with a preference for the [[CoolGuns Thompson submachine gun]], which was used by the US military until 1971, with production ending in 1945.

* CanonForeigner: Most of the cast. While the show is a loose adaptation of comics in the Franchise/XMen orbit, initially only David Haller and the Shadow King are familiar Creator/MarvelComics characters. David's parents appear in the third season, Charles Xavier included. Some interesting {{canon immigrant}}s could be drawn from it, if Marvel wants to go there.

* ThePursuingNightmare:
** [[EnemyWithin The Devil With The Yellow Eyes]] consistently haunts David throughout the first season, hunting him down and slowly driving him insane in the hopes of [[GrandTheftMe taking over his body]]. In one case, an attempt by Syd to [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind explore his mind]] in the company of David's inner child results in the two of them being pursued by the Devil in the form of the World's Angriest Boy In The World.
** In "[[Recap/LegionS1E5Chapter5 Chapter Five]]", Syd finds herself cornered in David's mind with the Devil slowly pursuing her around it, clearly taking great delight in the fact that Syd can't escape and David is helpless to stop him. [[spoiler: Worse still, getting ensnared by the Devil results in Syd, David, and the rest of the mutants getting dragged into a NightmareOfNormality set in Clockworks Asylum.]]
** In "Chapter Seven," the Devil - now in the form of Lenny - traps Syd and Kerry in a ruined illusion of the Asylum, then begins hunting them down for fun. [[spoiler: Ultimately, a combination of David's power, Rudy's HeroicSacrifice, and Cary using a halo machine to trap the Devil inside David's mind end the chase, releasing the dreamers from captivity.]]
** Subverted in the second season, in which David and the Devil have gained enough power to drop the hunting aspect of their relationship altogether. From now on, the Devil, AKA [[spoiler: Amahl Farouk the Shadow King]] is more than happy to challenge his opponent to [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind psychic battles for supremacy]].
