Trivia[]
- Handlebarb has an androgynous appearance that makes her appear boyish. Various foreign dubs refer to her with male pronouns and have her voiced by males possibly because of this.
- In the first version of the Polish dub of "Too Many Treasures", Handlebarb was dubbed by an unknown male actor, but in the redubbed "Too Many Treasures" and "The Invitation", she was dubbed by Justyna Kowalska.
- In the entirety of the Brazilian Portuguese First Season's dub, Handlebarb is dubbed by a man, it's called Guido, a name considered masculine and characters refer to her with male pronouns. (despite being inconsistently called by female pronouns several times). As of the episode "Secret in a Bottle" she is voiced by a female and continues the rest of the series as a female character.
- In the second season and "Trick or Creek" of the Latin American dub, she was dubbed by a man and was referred to by male pronouns. She was dubbed by a woman in the first season and remainder of the third season.
- The name "Handlebarb" is a portmanteau of the word "handlebar" (referring to the handlebars of a bike) and the name "Barb" (a diminutive of the name "Barbara"). In fact, "The Bike Thief" has her question, "Who am I without my handles? Just…Barb?".
- This implies that her real name is Barbara or some variation of it.
