Line 20:
This comic series was also the inspiration behind [http://www.dialbforblog Dial B For Blog]{{Dead link}}, a comic "blogazine" in which Robby is the [[Author Avatar]] of Kirk Kimball.

Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Big Applesauce]]: Averted, the series were set in small towns up until ''H-E-R-O'', and even then only ''some'' of the dial's users lived in big cities.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: The creators of Ben 10 used to work in comics, so the similarities are likely ''not'' a coincidence.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: ''Dial H'', a revision along the same lines as ''[[Doom Patrol]]'', ''[[Sandman]]'', ''[[Black Orchid]]'', and the other DC titles which were transplanted to [[Vertigo Comics]]. Though [[China
* [[Fifth Week Event]]: DC's "[[Silver Age]]" comics crossover involved Robby and the Dial (transforming the [[Justice League]] into NEW heroes!)
* [[Gender Bender]]: Turns up less often than you might think:
Line 38 ⟶ 37:
** In ''Plastic Man'' Vol. 2 #13, Plastic Man faces off against Robby, who uses the dial to turn into his previous forms, including Plastic Man himself (much to the real Plas's confusion).
* [[The Joy of X]]: The idea probably came from the title of the movie "Dial M for Murder".
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: [[The Other Wiki]]'s page lists every transformation the dials were ever used for, totaling over 200!
* [[Metafictional Device]]: The Dials allowed comic fans to see their creations in a comic, if only once.
Line 47:
* [[Super Empowering]]
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: Adding Vicky to the series.
▲* [[Starfish Character]]: Robby Reed.
* [[Technology Marches On]]: Is there any device today that uses rotary disks? Other than combination locks.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: In his second adventure as Giant Boy, the first hero he ever turned into, Robby was poisoned. He turned back into himself, but if he ever turned into Giant Boy again (and remember the dial is completely random), he'd die.
