Notes
- The story of Team Flash continues on the novel The Flash: The Tornado Twins.
- In this novel, Cisco Ramon finally discovers that his universe was created as a consequence of Iris West preventing Barry Allen from causing the Flashpoint after meeting his alternate counterpart (the Cisco Ramon from the The Flash TV Series) from the universe where Barry caused the Flashpoint.
- The main Cisco refers to the novel Cisco's Earth as Earth-1A.
- Barry Allen adventures into the Multiverse to reach "Earth-2" in order to find the key to defeat Hocus Pocus: in the end, he actually ends up on "Earth-27".
- During his travel, he also has visions of other worlds, including "Earth-3" and "Earth-38".
- Although it is not mentioned, it is later revealed in the novel The Flash: The Legends of Forever that these universes are also divergent universes, which were created as a consequence of Barry not causing the Flashpoint, which form a local Multiverse, dubbed as Barryverse, into the main Multiverse.
- The author Barry Lyga also refers to these universes with an ending "-A" in their name, like Earth-1A.
- Earth-27A is revealed to be a world, similar to Earth-2, where the good characters of Earth-1A are evil and viceversa.
- Metahumans are known as hyperhumans in this universe.
- Barry Allen died as a consequence of being hit by the lightning (which gave him powers in both the main timelines) while Eddie Thawne was able to discover the speed mantra, 3X2(9YZ)4A, that allowed him to harness the energies of HyperHeaven, which is how Quick called the Speed Force, and become the evil speedster, Johnny Quick.
- All the other members of the Team Flash and Harrison Wells (and his daughter Jesse) are also dead on Earth-27A.
- The United States of America are divided among five hyperhumans, including Johnny Quick, that formed the evil organization known as the Crime Syndicate of America.
- Many of Earth-1 villains' counteparts, including James Jesse, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory, created a rebel alliance, calling himself the Rogues, in order to fight against Johnny Quick and his henchmen, the Quicklings.
Trivia
- According to Barry Lyga, "Earth-27" is patterned off the comics Earth-Three as well as Earth 3; its designation was chosen due to 27 being 3 cubed.[1]
- Edward Thawne becoming Johnny Quick after discovering the Speed Formula is a reference to the comic version of Johnny Quick which is famous for being empowered by the same formula.
- During his staying on Earth-27A, Barry Allen wonders about the existence of counterparts of many Earth-1 residents he had previously met, including Oliver Queen, Martin Stein, Ronnie Raymond, Kendra Saunders, Tina McGee, Patty Spivot and Hunter Zolomon.
- Many events from the TV series are mentioned (or briefly featured), including:
- Fred Chyre being killed by Clyde Mardon which was shown in Pilot.
- Eobard Thawne disguising himself as Harrison Wells and Eddie Thawne killing himself to erase Thawne from history which was shown in Fast Enough.
- Team Flash meeting their evil counterparts from Earth-2 which was shown in Welcome to Earth-2.
- Zoom killing Henry Allen which was shown in Invincible.
- Zoom being dragged into the Speed Force by the Time Wraiths which was shown in The Race of His Life.
- Barry Allen stopping Eobard Thawne the night he murdered his mother and creating the Flashpoint Timeline which was shown in The Race of His Life.
- Wally West becoming Flash in the Flashpoint Timeline and dying fighting the Rival which was shown in Flashpoint.
- Abra Kadabra chasing Joe West in the S.T.A.R. Labs and Caitlin Snow becoming Killer Frost which was shown in Abra Kadabra.
- The creation of the evil speedster Savitar which was shown in Cause and Effect.
- The death of H.R. Wells at the hands of Savitar which was shown in Finish Line.
- While it is not shown, the Stranger is this Multiverse's counterpart of the Phantom Stranger.
- In the main Multiverse, other versions of the Stranger, such as the Pre-Crisis Earth-85 version and the Post-Crisis Earth-19 version, were also shown to exist.
- During his journey through the Multiverse, Barry Allen has visions of Earth-38A Supergirl fighting and swimming tigers which is a reference to the events of the Supergirl novel, Supergirl: Age of Atlantis.
- Barry Allen also has visions of many characters, including:
- A rabbit with the cape which is a reference to Captain Carrot.
- A young boy screaming down a thunderbolt which is a reference to Shazam.
- A man with a green ring which is a reference to Green Lantern.
