* HarsherInHindsight: In the 1992 ''Ambush Bug: Nothing Special'' one-shot, Ambush Bug tries to take over Julius Scwhartz's job as [=DC=]'s "Goodwill Ambassador". He's told that Julie has the job for life. Ambush Bug says he'll take it when Schwartz dies. The first time-cut is 12 years later, with Ambush Bug remarking on Julius Schwartz's uncanny longevity. In real life, Schwartz passed on in early 2004.
