Superman is known to be amicable with the people of Metropolis, but ''Flash'' takes it to OneOfUs levels, due to how friendly he is with individual people all over Central City.

** Flash and Linda Park first meeting this late in the show and that he's previously expressed interest in other women before her debut can be a nod to how Linda was the last of his love interests to debut in the comics and ended up [[LastGirlWins being the one]].

* CompositeCharacter: This episode consolidates many of Barry Allen's characteristics (such as being a forensic scientist in Central City) into the DCEU version of the Flash, who was earlier revealed to be Wally West (who, in the comics, was a police mechanic in Keystone City, which is across the Mississippi from Central City).

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Captain Cold manages to hold his own against Orion, defeating him by freezing him on the spot.

** Several abound inside the Flash Museum alone, including the presence of Jay Garrick's (the first Flash in the comics) World War 1 helmet and Kid Flash's costume (Wally was the first Kid Flash in the comics). There's also the presence of the Flash's costume ring, which was used in the comics to store the hero's costume inside. Then there's Wally's CSI mentor/supervisor, who looks ''exactly'' like Barry Allen, and Wally mentioning his uncle is flying in.
