Cultural references
- The story's title is a reference to various things:
- "Who watches the watchmen?", a historical phrase and namesake for the DC Comics series, Watchmen.
- The Dark Knight Returns, a DC Comics series featuring Batman and Superman.
- The President of the United States resembles former U.S. president Ronald Reagan.
- When Radioactive Man jumps through the sky and connects with a lightning bolt, the scene directly parallels an infamous scene in The Dark Knight Returns in which the protagonist Batman strikes an identical pose.
- The Fabulous Four are a reference to the Marvel Comics team, the Fantastic Four.
- Plasmo mentions the "plentiful panels of Perez", referencing George Pérez, the penciller for the DC Comics Crisis on Infinite Earths event in which various universes were merged.
- After Glowy's death, Radioactive Man consoles Radioactive Boy by telling him that "some power even greater than you or me" will bring him back to life. This is a reference to the frequent resurrections of characters in comic books, particularly those published by DC and Marvel Comics.
