In Power Outage, Ralph Dibny was mentioned by Eobard Thawne as one of the people killed by the Particle Accelerator explosion. But here, Ralph was established as an old rival of Barry who got his powers on the bus. And considering Wells also mentioned Al Rothstein right after Ralph and Al ended up getting killed by his doppleganger in the Season 2 premiere, was Wells lying about some of those names? I find it hard to justify with Flashpoint because then Ralph would be a complete stranger to Barry like when Julien first appeared. Barry's memories are pre-Flashpoint. Ralph had history with Barry one year before The Flash started, then he got killed during the Particle Accelerator in Season 1. Barry did know him pre-Flashpoint, but just wasn't aware what he had been up to for all this time. Julian on the other hand is a completely new face he had never seen before.
