Lokix also appears to be based on the superheroes of the ''{{wp|Kamen Rider}}'' franchise. The titular Riders from the franchise typically have an insect motif (most closely associated with the grasshopper), a belt used to transform into the masked superhero, and a limitation on how long they can hold the transformation; also, all of them have a finishing attack known as the ''Rider Kick''. All of these elements are present in the design of Lokix. Not only that, but its Japanese name, Exleg, is also potentially a loose reference to ''[[wp:Kamen_Rider_Ex-Aid|Kamen Rider: Ex-Aid]].''
