Notes
- Daleks are, of course, a race of alien mutant cyborgs that are one of the main antagonists of the Doctor in the long-running British science-fiction programme, Doctor Who.
- Lee Sullivan has stated that Octus was supposed to transform into a Dalek. Sullivan is well known to Who fans for drawing Dalek strips for Doctor Who Magazine.
- A "Mark Three Travel Machine" is the original device that was repurposed to give the Dalek race mobility after radiation-induced mutation caused the species' limbs to atrophy. Don't say TFWiki never teaches you anything.
