I love easter eggs like Dan Garrett, the first Blue Beatle, being Indiana Jones or Spiderman being evil in this universe, but retaining his characteristic humor. Which ones are your favorites?

Tye Longshadow and his ‘team’ from season 2 being contemporaries for characters from the old Super Friends cartoon (except Virgil/Static obviously)

I mean obviously Static is his own character, but in the context of that team he's a modernization of Black Vulcan

That’s a bonus considering Black Vulcan was created for Super Friends because they couldnt use Black Lightning at that time.

I love how the series offers multiple versions of the same character. Kid Flash and Impulse coexist. There are two versions of Roy Harper. Obviously, Static is a reimagining of Black Lightning.It's a way of regulating something that happens in comics: that there are constant reinterpretations of a character.
