Trivia

In this book, Barry finds out about an "alternate timeline", which is The Flash's continuity, and learns that if he changed the timeline with Flashpoint, it would have lead him fighting a future version of himself called Savitar.
- Later while fighting Abra Kadabra, the latter asks Barry if he has figured out who's Savitar, which makes Barry wonder if he is in the alternate timeline's future.
This is the first of the three novels where the main antagonist's name/alias is not in the title.
The novel introduces the Tornado Twins, Don and Dawn, who in the comics are the children of Barry and Iris.
- When Barry meets Don and Dawn, they politely refuse to disclose their family name, hinting the possibility that the twins are descendants of Barry.
- Despite their moniker being in the title, the Tornado Twins don't play important role since their history isn't part of the main story.
A character who goes by the name of Charles "Chuck" Taine is introduced. In the DC comics, Charles is the real name of Bouncing Boy, a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Another character named Roxxas is introduced as a pirate who attacked Earth. In the DC Comics, Roxxas is an alien space pirate in the 30th Century and an enemy to the Legion of Super-Heroes.
When Barry arrives at Don and Dawn's hideout, he sees multiple newspapers of events in alternate timelines. Their headline are:
- "FLASH HALTS GORILLA WAR!", which happened in "Attack on Central City".
- "RAINBOW RAIDER: LIGHTS OUT!", which happened in The Flash: The Haunting of Barry Allen.
- "THINKER STRIKE AGAIN!", reflecting the events of "Therefore She Is".
- "ELONGATED MAN SOLVES LOCKED ROOM MYSTERY", which hasn't happened yet. However, since Ralph Dibny has been introduced in the show continuity, this story's events could occur in an upcoming episode.
- "KID FLASH JOINS TEEN TITANS". The headline references the Teen Titans in the DC comics, which Wally West/Kid Flash was a founding member of. It may also mean that the group will appear someday in the Arrowverse.
This book revealed Abra Kadabra's real name to be Abhararakadhararbarakh and Hocus Pocus' real name to be Hobicubispobicubis.
