When he learns The New Avengers are closing in on him, Juventor decides to swap brains completely with one of his victims.

As Gambit and Purdey view Miss McKay's sculptures, Purdey calls one of them "Aphrodite at the Water-Hole". This is the title of the masterpiece long worked on by incompetent would-be artist Tony Hancock in The Rebel, 1961.
Masgard is based on "Mr Memory" from Alfred Hitchcock's The Thirty-Nine Steps - he too memorized secret documents.
