* While operating as Liberty, Stormfront's costume involved a red hood. Given that she was operating in America, she was likely taking inspiration from the [[TheKlan Ku Klux Klan]].

Not only that, the first generation of the Ku Klux Klan took inspiration from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitecapping Whitecapping]], a violent vigilante movement of farmers in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

* Musical abilities aside, Soldier Boy's style of singing is a little different because he sounds more like he's just talking in rhythm to the music as shown by his covers of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2k44uAyN18 From a Logical View]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li2WDMgHxD0 Rapture]]" compared to Starlight's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWbmSoXAdvQ Never Truly Vanish]]". Although this could be in reference to Sprechstimme (speech-singing), a cross between speaking and singing in which the tone quality of speech is heightened and lowered in pitch along melodic contours indicated in the musical notation that was popular in the 20th century. The other idea could actually be that Soldier Boy didn't fully invest in this part of the role because dancing and musical theatre were seen as effiminate during his time period.

* When forced to eat Timothy the octopus, Deep claims that Timothy is begging for his life and claiming that he has a family. However, in real life, an Octopus stops functioning and essentially becomes catatonic after mating with another octopus. After mating, the animal will drift in the sea until it's eaten by predators, dies of a disease, or starves to death. Timothy pretty much tried to lie to save himself from The Deep.

** Black Noir is a sheep, which reflects his loyalty to Vought and his meekness and submissiveness. He's also depicted as a black sheep, which not only reflects his hero color motif but also reflects how he never really fit in with Payback because he wanted to break away into comedy roles and how he was bullied by Soldier Boy, who made him feel worthless.

Not only that, Noir was suffering from institutional racism and was the only black member of Payback.

* A-Train's reputation comes from his title as the [[FastestThingAlive Fastest Man Alive]], IE the speed of his feet. Its probably not a coincidence that he has a fetish for [[IKissYourFoot getting his toes kissed.]]

* It’s fitting that the team is titled "The Seven". Not only are they composed of seven members, but a closer look at each member of the team (sans Starlight and Black Noir due to their altruism and mystery respectively) fit a sin motif related one of the Seven Deadly Sins:
