* When the Team first finds Wolf, the genetically-enhanced wolf pup, she's still a newborn and doesn't even have her eyes open yet. According to Paul, he had to turn off the translation function on his ring for her, because it translated the pup's frightened whining, which turned out to be crying for its mother. Thankfully, she's adopted by Teekl who helps raise her.
* Having Zatanna lose her father is such as painful as it was in canon. Which is made even worse due to the fact that Zatara was saved in the Renegade timeline.
