  • As readers were aware the Master was going to return to the strip, the comic deliberately implies that "Morningstar" is the Master in disguise rather than Sato Katsura working with him. The use of a suspicious alias (that starts with "m"), the use of a Tissue Compression Eliminator, and the Doctor recognising the handwriting on Morningstar's holy book are all used to wrongfoot an audience used to the Master's many disguises.
  • One of the alternate Doctors, Theta Stigma, is a homage to the strip Peanuts, while the ultraviolent cyborg Doctor homages Axel Pressbutton.
  • On page 2 of Part Six, as Esterath explains to the Doctor about the Omniversal Spectrum, among the images that appear can be seen a panel of Spider-Man battling Doctor Octopus from Marvel Comics' Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #12, published in 1964, although the panel is somewhat distorted and flipped both horizontally and vertically.

According to one account, the Master had the appearance of Roger Delgado while on Gallifrey. According to another, he had Anthony Ainley's likeness. According to another one, the one with James Dreyfus's appearance was the incarnation who ran away from Gallifrey.

Divided Loyalties, A Brief History of Time Lords and The Legions of Death feature, or otherwise acknowledge, the War Chief, but in the process contradicted the notion put forward by other stories that he was an incarnation of the Master.

One account suggests that the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt while some others distinguish them.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley, while some others state that the Ainley one was already lost by then.

While fighting to extend his life at the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation, but all kept somehow reverting to his real being until he finally regenerated into the MacQueen one. Hence, these sections cannot be strictly chronological
