* DoingInTheWizard: Chester states that the legend of the mask says that [[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh]] imprisoned a powerful demon inside it, then adds that today the being would be considered a psychic metahuman. This is despite the fact that actual, literal demons [[Series/{{Constantine}} canonically]] [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow exist]] in this universe. (That said, Chester probably doesn't know that, being fairly new to the world of superheroing, so he may just be unwittingly viewing an OutsideGenreFoe in a context more familiar to him.)
