The Doctor in Real Time.
- Illustrations of the Sixth Doctor from this comic were adapted for use in the webcast Real Time.
- The title comes from a line in one of Davros' monologues in the television story Genesis of the Daleks. There, it references a hypothetical omnicidal virus. In its full context: "That power would set me up above the gods. And through the Daleks I shall have that power!"'
- This story and Emperor of the Daleks set up the events of the television story Remembrance of the Daleks. Interestingly, the depiction of Davros's accident matches the account first given in the latter story's 1990 novelisation.
