Added DiffLines:

* PlotHole: The Justice Society found out that Lex Luthor bought the name and rights to Infinity Inc. because they belonged to the Pemberton estate. After Sylvester was killed by Solomon Grundy, the rights were apparently transferred to his cousin Jacqueline (a.k.a. Gimmix). However, when she disappeared (actually she was killed by the Sheeda in ''ComicBook/SevenSoldiers'' with NoBodyLeftBehind) the estate was put up for sale with no heirs left. At no point is it ever mentioned why Sylvester didn't make Pat Duggan (his former sidekick) or Merry Pemberton (his foster sister) his heirs in the first place, or why Merry at least didn't get the rights after Jacqueline disappeared.

Added DiffLines:

* TransTribulations: Erik Storn later gains a female alter ego as Erika that physically manifests. Rather than being treated as a transgender or genderqueer individual, Erik/Erika is considered insane by their teammates with the Erika identity being directly linked to Erik's mental trauma.

Infinity, Inc. was hit hard by Earth-Two's merging with four other Earths during ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths''. With the team [[CosmicRetcon rewritten]] to have originated on the post-Crisis Earth, they were left without much of their backstory, including Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. The book floundered for a few more years before cancellation.

Infinity, Inc. is a superhero team developed by American comic book writer Roy Thomas in the early 1980s, consisting of members that are [[SpinOffspring children or proteges]] of various ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica members. The team was brought together by the JSA's youngest member, the Star-Spangled Kid, for the purpose of showing the worth of the younger generation of superheroes, who felt put-down by their parents and mentors. They existed on Earth-Two, a ParallelUniverse which featured the original, now older, versions of many of Franchise/TheDCU's heroes. The original lineup was:
