Villain(s):

President Thawne (President of Earth in the late 30th Century)

Comment(s):

The dates given for the Tornado Twins are 2979-2980. This story occurs some time after that date.

The three Flashes only appear in flashbacks to their origins. Only in Wally West's case is a completely new sequence on his grief over Barry's death and decision to take up the mantle of the Flash included. Thawne's appearance is the only non-flashback new material in this story.

Comment(s):

This story is mistakenly noted as taking place in 1949. However in the Timeline it is said to have taken place in 1947, which is in sync with the fact that in 1948 Max once again was hurled into the future when skipping the Speed Force. He next appeared in 1957 and therefore this story could not have taken place in 1949.
