Trivia
- Through mental radios, JSA makes a videoconference, perhaps the first in the world.
- This is little remembered, but the original Black Canary died due to a cancer by concentrated radiation exposure of villain Aquarius. In this issue she also receives radiation from Fire People, but without side effects.
- In carbon-arc welding a carbon electrode is used to produce an electric arc between the electrode and the materials being bonded. This arc produces temperatures in excess of 3,000 °C. At this temperature the separate metals form a bond and become welded together. The fire creatures were supposed to produce heat below this temperature, in such a way that the heat of the carbon arc (or greater) was precisely their weakness.
