* MistakenIdentity: Ching Lung is a modernised adaptation of the 'yellow peril' pulp villain character of the same name who debuted in the original ''Detective Comics'' run from the 1930s. He is often advertised as being the same guy as the Fu Manchu lookalike on the front cover of ''Detective Comics #1'' (hence all the hype about him being DC's "original" character) but this is actually incorrect. The character on the cover of that comic was [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Fui_Onyui_(Earth-Two) Fui Onyui]], and Ching Lung didn't debut until a couple issues later. ''New Super-Man'', as a reflexive satire on China's relationship with the West, appears to run with the idea that as they were based on the same lazy, offensive stereotype, they were essentially one and the same to begin with, so this may have been intentional.
