Notes
- Pat Dugan's flashbacks reveal that versions of the many Golden Age heroes existed during the early time of the Justice Society of America on Earth-2.
- It is revealed that Magog hails from Nora's Future and is assembling a team of supervillains from the Multiverse to destroy The Flash and his speedster kids.
- By the end of the chapter, the time-traveling supervillain steals one of the Needle's needles to clone him and create his own version of the supervillain.
- Green Arrow/Mia Queen being one of the heroes of Nora's Future suggests that the events of Post-Crisis Star City 2040 take place in the same possible future.
- This will also be implied in Earth-Prime #6.
Trivia
- This is the first time Sparkington J. Northrup had appeared in a DC Comic.
- Stargirl previously renamed the Cosmic Staff as Cosmo in "Summer School: Chapter Eight".
- Pat Dugan jokingly refers to the Timestream as the "Time Vortex". The Time Vortex is the representation of the Timestream in the Doctor Who universe which also conceptually inspired the Temporal Zone that is the embodiment of the Timestream in the Arrowverse Multiverse.
