** In related series ''R.E.B.E.L.S.'', featuring Vril Dox II, an ancestor of Brainiac 5's from the 20th century, the earlier Dox makes a [[Deal with the Devil|deal with Neron]] in exchange for knowledge, offering up not his own somewhat tarnished soul, but instead placing the debt on his bloodline and setting it to come due in "about 1000 years." After ''R.E.B.E.L.S.'' was canceled, a team of Legionnaires was sent back to the 20th century, leading to a meeting between Querl and his ancestor in which Vril mentioned Neron in a guilty sort of way... and then nothing came of it. It was implied, however, that the insanity of Brainiac 5's mother could be related to this deal.

** Not just the team, but the Legion titles seem to exist in a universe all their own. In the 1980s, DC released a ''Who's Who'' maxi-series dedicated solely to the Legion, covering just about every named character that has been in a Legion-related book since the 1960s.
