 * Vocal Manipulation: When Riker shapeshifted into Kaz, he also changed his voice into Kaz's.

Trivia

 * They are the first villains encountered by the Elite Force.
 * Roman and Riker are similar to Wallace and Clyde from Mighty Med. They are brothers who are supervillains seeking to destroy every superhero in revenge. Similar to how Clyde disguised himself as Kaz to infiltrate Mighty Med in Copy Kaz, Riker also disguised himself as Kaz to infiltrate Mission Command in The List. Just like how people get Wallace and Clyde mixed up, Oliver got Roman and Riker mixed up.
 * They are also similar to Sebastian in that they seek revenge for their fathers, and want to make them proud. Roman and Riker felt their father was wronged by having his powers taken away, much like how Sebastian felt wronged that the Davenports killed his father. In both cases, they refused to accept that the actions taken on their fathers was supposed to be beneficial: Roman and Riker refused to accept that Kaz and Oliver took away Rodissius's powers because it was the only way to save his life, and Sebastian failed to understand that the Lab Rats had to take out Victor Krane because he was a madman who didn't care about his creations, and his death was to keep them safe.
 * Bree thought they were cute and was frustrated when Kaz said Roman & Riker were the destroyers of Mighty Med, Bree stated, "Why do the bad ones always have to be so cute!"
 * Riker doesn't think he and Roman will be able to find all the superheroes. (The Rise of Five)
 * They are the 3rd and 4th villains that Bree has a crush on. The first was Sebastian and the second was Troy West from Lab Rats.
 * They make a distinct, eerie sound when they disappear and move around.
 * Similar to Victor Krane, they introduced themselves with masks.
 * In The List, it is stated by Rodissiius that Roman is Riker's older brother.
 * Roman is noticed to be the tougher one of the two, as Riker left Roman by himself when the circumstances were difficult. (The List)
 * Riker is also portrayed as a little less ambitious and seems somewhat unsure of himself and their plan sometimes.
 * So far, they've shifted into the famous black swarm, or "dust bunny thing" as Kaz calls it; Riker has shifted into Kaz; and they've both shifted into crows.
 * Riker seems to be less serious, seeing as he smiled at Bree when she attempted to flirt with the pair.
 * Riker shares his name with the "art cop", Ryker, in the Lab Rats episode Hole in One.
 * They are similar to Victor Krane  in that they want to destroy the Elite Force, because they want to destroy Kaz and Oliver. They want to do this because Kaz and Oliver took away Roman and Riker's father, Rodissiius' powers. But to destroy Kaz and Oliver, they must destroy the rest of the Elite Force.
