Notes
- There are several continuity complications in Arion's story:
- Arion's account of the Lords of Chaos and Order supports the origin expressed in Green Lantern (Volume 6) #8 and stories prior to Flashpoint where they existed as universal forces existing at the Dawn of Time but contradicts Nabu's expressed origins from Hecate's magic in the Justice League Dark (Volume 2).
- Arion claims the Gods stole their powers. However, this is partly false due to the origins of Gods differing;
- Some gods were created as magical beings by the magic of the Godsphere.
- One account expressed the Egyptian pantheon to be created by the Presence originally as Djinn or angels prior.
- Another account expressed the origins of the Greek pantheon (alongside others) to be from Hecate's magic.
- Another separate account expressed gods such as Mamaragan to have been created by the Source
Trivia
- Vivienne, the Lady of the Lake, originally appeared during The New 52 in Demon Knights #1.
