You could gather every genius on every planet, and you still couldn't outthink me. [...] You've done wonders all these years punching gorillas with rudimentary powers, chasing madmen shooting icicles. Those were children with playguns. Savitar, Zoom, Thawne. Their powers are nothing compared to the power of limitless thought. [...] You may be the fastest man alive, Allen. I'm the fastest mind.

—Clifford DeVoe

Notes

• "Therefore I Am" is a reference to the French philosopher Rene Descartes' famous quote, "I think, therefore I am".

Trivia

• In an alternate reality of a divergent Multiverse, which was created as a consequence of Barry Allen never creating the Flashpoint, Team Flash managed to defeat easily the alternate version of DeVoe with the help of the alternate H.R. Wells who is still alive due to Savitar never coming to exist in this universe.
• Wally West mentions fighting a giant starfish from outer space. This is obviously a reference to the alien supervillain, Starro.
