Trivia

• It is shown a Post-Crisis timeline of the events of Earth-Prime. Most of the events of Earth-1, Earth-38 and Black Lightning's Earth still happened but a few of them had some differences.
  • It is revealed that the Singularity was still created in this reality, so the Hunter Zolomon of Earth-Prime became Zoom and his meta-human army still invaded Central City in 2016.
  • In 2017, time-travelling Nazi from World War II invaded Earth-Prime instead of Earth-X's villains.
• The Ray is mentioned to have always operated as a superhero on this reality.
• This episode takes place before the events of the Arrow series finale Fadeout as Diggle is not shown to possess his Green Lantern Ring.
• Cisco's Who's Who Binder is a reference to Who's Who, an index of every character, major or minor, in the DC Universe.
• Some of Earth-1's dead villains are revealed to be alive in the reality: Abra Kadabra, Block, Girder, Null.
