Her characterization is a homage to the Doom franchise. Her weapon is based on the BFG 9000 from the 2005 movie, Doom. The cover art for the character from BOOM is a homage to the cover art of Doom (2016). Elegg's obsession of installing BOOM to every device is a reference to how people can play the original 1993 Doom on certain devices such as a calculator.
