* RhymingTitle: Dr. ''Blink'': Superhero ''Shrink''. Alluded in the issue cover, where the title is ''supposed'' to say "Dr. Blink, Specialist in Super-human Psychosis", but the subtitle is crossed-out and replaced with Superhero Shrink, because it rings better with his name.

** Dr. Blink's full name is a clear reference to Fredric Wertham, a real-world psychiatrist with an interest in comic books. However, while Dr. Blink is generally eager to help superheroes, knowing that they do real good, Fredric Wertham is remembered as one of the big-name MoralGuardians, whose book ''Seduction of the Innocent'' was highly critical of comics (and led to the creation of UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode).
