Notes[edit | hide]
- The episode references the first issue of Firestorm in the comics.
- This is the first episode where the transmutated form of Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond is called Firestorm instead of the Burning Man.
- In Pilot, Part 2, it is stated that Martin Stein studied at Ivy University in 1975. However, Martin Stein states that he and Quentin Quale are classmates at the University of Chicago in 1974. Either this is a continuity error, or Martin Stein was transferred between 1974 and 1975.
