General clarification on work content


** The New 52 continuity finally reintroduced ComicBook/WallyWest in 2014 as a [[RaceLift half-black]] [[YoungerAndHipper teenage]] delinquent with a different backstory and no connection to his former TrueCompanions (who are still adults). ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' began with the original Wally West returning after having been lost in the Speed Force, revealing that the younger Wally is the original's cousin. (Their shared name is explained as them having both been named after their great-grandfather.) The younger Wally currently uses the Kid Flash identity (and eventually starts going by "Wallace," and later, "Ace," in his civilian identity), while the original Wally shares the Flash codename with Barry Allen. [[spoiler:Later issues revealed his supposed past as the older Wally's cousin is in fact a fabrication when he sees explicit evidence in the Flash Museum of the 25th Century that he never existed in the pre-Flashpoint universe.]]

* Due to the popularity of the old ''[[Radio/TheAdventuresOfSuperman Adventures of Superman]]'' radio show and [[Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman the 50s live-action series]], the character of Inspector Bill Henderson was eventually [[CanonImmigrant brought over to the comics]]. When subsequent adaptations like ''Series/LoisAndClark'' and ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' reimagined Henderson as [[RaceLift a black man]], the ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl|2005}}'' comic book series responded by introducing a second version of the character named Inspector '''Mike''' Henderson, who more closely resembled his modern media incarnations.
