* CassandraTruth: At the start, Zarkov theorizes that the disasters befalling the planet are not natural, but an attack by a hostile alien power. For this, he was fired from NASA and ostracized as a madman, but we soon learn that he's ''right''.



* DoomAsTestPrize: Ming claims that he subjects planets to induced natural disasters to see if they are capable of recognizing them as an attack and retaliating. If so they are a threat to him and get destroyed or conquered. It's possible, though, that he's just saying this to torment Professor Zarkov: the opening scene suggests that he attacked Earth [[ForTheEvulz because he was bored]] (one of the environmental attacks he can and does summon is "hot hail", which most Earthlings would surely notice is not a natural phenomenon).
