Trivia

 * This is the first season:
 * since Nice Peter's deal with Maker Studios.
 * since Season 1 to not have a trailer.
 * without a female vs female battle before the mid-season mark.
 * to have two superheroes in separate battles (Bruce Banner and Wonder Woman).
 * Based on comments made by Peter, this could possibly be the final season, and so he wants to try "everything", and to make it as good as possible.
 * Lloyd, however, doubts that it will be the last season, according to a Facebook livestream from August 18.
