The movie has some parallels with various Marvel characters. Arsus being a scientist, changing into a large powerhouse, (whos pants somehow dont rip unless in full bear mode) is like Hulk. Kahn moves at the speeds of Quicksilver. When Ler covered his body in rocks he resembled The Thing. And Kseniya has a power set close to the Invisible Woman. Patriot is similar to S.H.I.E.L.D.

The production budget and revenues generated by this film have not been precisely reported to the public. However, Russian box office receipts dropped precipitously after the opening weekend, foreign promotion was limited, and production company Enjoy Movies declared bankruptcy a few months after the film's release; based on these facts along with insider reports, Russian media analysts have concluded that the film was a major box office bomb.
