Both characters were special and had abilities above and beyond those of normal people around them.
			* When Hiro and Ando walk into the bar to have a drink, two guys are singing karaoke on the stage to the Backstreet Boy's "I Want It That Way". This is a reference to a popular [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFYDBtKeG2k YouTube video] that features the [[Back Dorm Boys]], two Asian men doing a spoof performance of the same song. The men in the bar in ''Heroes'' are dressed in the same orange basketball jerseys, and one has a white sweatband around his head.
			* In the original script for ''Genesis'', Hiro was to exclaim "Bonsai!" after discovering his powers. According to a statement by [[Masi Oka]] on ''The View'', he approached [[Tim Kring]] and informed him that "''bonsai'' actually means 'little tree'", and that he probably intended ''banzai''. Because Masi felt that banzai had wartime/old-fashioned connotations, he asked if it would be okay to use the more modern exclamation "[[Yatta!]]" instead. Tim Kring gave Masi permission to change the line by replying along the lines of, "Dude, go to town."
			* The scene with Claire and her mother at the dinner table, where Claire says, "I walked through fire and didn't get burned" was cut from the BBC2 showing.
			* In a [http://www.tv.com/heroes/show/17552/story/9980.html?tag=story_list;title;0 press conference], [[Tim Kring]] said that the character of [[Hiro]] did not exist in the original script for the pilot. Kring, looking at the other characters who reluctantly discovered their powers, decided he needed a character who enjoyed his abilities and embraced them enthusiastically.
			* [[Mohinder]]'s claim that humans only use a fraction of their [[brain]]s is [http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/Features/Columns/?article=BNBrainCapacity erroneous]. It is later repeated by [[Sylar]] in ''[[The Second Coming]]''.
			* The graphic novel ''[[Monsters]]'' continues one of the storylines told in ''Genesis''. ''Monsters'' tells what happened when [[Mohinder]] first came to New York City, and continues the idea that Mr. Bennet was spying on him.
			* The graphic novel ''[[Elle's First Assignment, Part 1]]'' shows that [[Elle]] is watching [[Claire]] and [[Zach]] when Claire kills herself in the seventh attempt and their conversation afterward.
			* Although [[Max Amini]], the actor playing a [[cabbie]], does not appear in the episode, he is credited as co-starring. Only his voice is heard. He does, however, appear in the same scene shown in the [[unaired pilot]].
			* Until Volume Four, this was the only episode to take place entirely after the date on which it aired.
