Trivia[]
- In American Hero Story, Byron Lewis is depicted as a casual racist, contradicting his portrayal in the Watchmen Sourcebook. In the sourcebook, he is presented as vehemently anti-racist, having even confronted a racist student during his youth. Additionally, he engaged in a physical altercation with Captain Metropolis at one point due to racial remarks directed at blacks. It's worth noting that the show's historical inaccuracies, as acknowledged by Dale Petey, may offer a plausible explanation for this inconsistent portrayal.
