Trivia

• It is speculated that the terrorist that kills Agent Stone is Calypso himself. This would explain Calypso's sunken eye.
• Agent Stone's appearances in the vehicle select screen and in the cutscenes look drastically different from each other due to all of the characters' pictures in the character selection screen being taken during the time of the beta. This is also the case for Raven, Preacher, Bloody Mary and Billy Ray Stillwell.
  • Agent Stone's appearance in his promo art also looked drastically different.
• In his middle scene, the terrorist he kills looks identical to John Doe.
• It is unknown how Agent Stone can participate in the events of Twisted Metal: Lost, considering he's apparently stuck in a time loop. It is possible that someone got him out of it.
• Agent Stone's story and ending is quite similar to Captain Spears'; both are men working for the government who made a mistake in the past that resulted in the accidental deaths of others and enter the contest to win and undo the mistake that both men had made. In their endings, they travel back to the time that made their mistake, but before they do, Calypso asks both men if they really want their wish and asks if they know the consequences, they both accept. But unfortunately, both men die trying to fix their mistake by an enemy. However, Stone managed to save the civilians as intended.
• Stone's backstory was originally more fleshed out. Instead of fighting a nameless gang, he was fighting a gang of skinheads (Possibly Neo-Nazis), killing them out of anger because when he was a boy, the skinheads burned down his home. This was possibly cut from the final game because of the potential controversy.
