Notes

  • "Crisis!":
  • The debut of the new Doom Patrol occurs in Showcase #94.
  • The appearance of the Blue Beetle, Captain Atom, Judomaster, Nightshade, The Question, Peacemaker and Thunderbolt are modeled after their appearance in Charlton Comics.
    • Trigon transformed New York and turned Raven in a demon in New Teen Titans (Volume 2) #2.
    • Batman and Robin (Jason Todd) battled Scarecrow in Batman #373.
    • The Supergirl seen during the Crisis on Infinite Earths is her Earth-One version. Probably the effects of Crisis itself allowed this anomaly. The same reason may be the cause of the presence of Post-Crisis(?) Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr., who debuted their careers after the Crisis.
  • Snapshot: Resistance!
    • Both Tommy Tomorrow and Captain Comet wear their original uniforms.
    • Tommy Tomorrow is more similar in appearance and behavior with his Pre-Crisis counterpart.
