 * Originally, Gloom was to be a visible character/emotion, as shown in conceptual art.
 * The character was going to be a male emotion.
 * It was originally going to be a penultimate that was going to get bigger as it became more important. Early concepts of him can be seen in the Art of Inside Out book.
 * Gloom's original design is inspired by the Invisible beings of Spirited Away.
 * He is the first villain of Pixar who does not have a physical body (and the first to be created), and is also the second main antagonist that can not speak and who does not utter any word,, the first one is Mor'du, from Brave.
 * Despite his physical absence, he was also present in the film. The chances that Gloom is also there are as follows:

 * The Islands are extinguished and the Goofball Island is lost.
 * Riley starts wearing black clothes.
 * Anger crumbles other Personality Islands.
 * Riley's mind becomes a cloudy sky.
 * The console turns black.

 * This could imply that Gloom, (the antagonist who manifested as a penumbra in the world of mind that Riley and his emotions would fight when Riley entered his mind) exists in the Inside Out universe. If Riley's depression worsened, Gloom would have manifested itself in a larger character as in the original plan.
 * Gloom is completely opposite to Joy for several reasons, and these are the following:
 * Gloom has no physical body because it is a creation and is born of darkness, and because its beam is black. In the case of Joy, it has a physical body because it is born of light, has several beams of colors, and are blue, golden, purple on one side and white on the other.
 * Gloom has no feelings because it is a mental disorder, while Joy does.

 * Gloom seems to have a similarity to Ultron, a character from Marvel Comics, because like the android, it was created by a heroic character, but when Sadness was also expelled along with Joy, it was as if he had betrayed his creator, such as Ultron betrayed his creator (Henry Pym) and turned against the Avengers.
