Originally, The ACS was inspired by some of Bruce Timm's work, such as Justice League Unlimited. I was never inspired by any of Disney XD's Marvel shows, because I feel like those series are too "censored" (frozen Hitler was shown in JLU, and there was a lot of sexual innuendo). But then I started veering onto a different path, Naruto. The show is GREAT at inducing the feels and I think their villains are some of the greatest ones of all time. Imperium came from Naruto's Akatsuki, a criminal organization that was so badass yet relatable. Imagination actually came from a combination of two ideas from both inspirations. Exotic is also based on a particular character from the anime.
