Notes

  • Dibny being alive is retconned as a consequence of the Flashpoint.

Trivia

• Barry Allen gives Ralph Dibny the nickname Plastic Man, prompting Dibny to say "that was the dumbest name I've ever heard". Plastic Man is also a hero capable of elasticity, and someone else entirely in the DC universe.
• In Ralph Dibny's desk, he had a bottle of Gingold, a reference to his comic book origin. Gingold was a soft drink potentially capable of enhancing physical elasticity and was how Dibny received his powers.
• Mayor Bellows mentioning to be a former cop is a reference to his counterpart from 1990 Flash series that was also a cop and an ally of the Flash.
• Mrs. Broome is a reference to the late DC writer, John Broome, who created the Elongated Man.
