Behind the scenes[]
- Historically, Temüjin Borjigin became known as Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia. After founding the Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan", he launched the Mongol invasions that conquered most of Eurasia.
- In the DC Comics, Genghis Khan remains largely the same figure, although his descendants and deeds are slightly fictionalized. One of the common adjustments is that Vandal Savage has some relation to Khan's conquest. However, the Arrowverse has separated Khan as a historical individual associated with Savage.
