The primary basis is ''Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons'': PRISM, the Myloki and the eponymous Indestructible Man are based on SPECTRUM, the Mysterons and Captain Scarlet. SILHOET is a homage to SHADO, the agency from ''UFO''; both SPECTRUM and SHADO were global security agencies handling covert alien incidents, though they were unrelated unlike their homages. | ||
