I have always found this action figure so interesting because of the decapitated head lantern. It's never appeared in the comics as far as I can find and there's no explanation for it on the box. It is an fitting addition, but it does raise one simple question. Whose head is it? One of the Guardians of Oa, Abin Sur or even a Predator? We may never know.

Kent Clarkson acts as Ultraman's alter ego for his infiltration of the Daily Planet after the kidnapping of the Justice League. His purpose in the Daily Planet is to convince the public that the Crime Syndicate are actually superheroes. In the narrative itself he acts as an example of fake news, opinion journalism & how new technologies have change the news landscape. He is often shown reporting from his phone or television screens acting more as a news anchor than a journalist. There was a time where Clark Kent worked for the daily planet as a anchorman in the 90s, this may be a reference to that. If it is or isn't it acts as a good way to show Ultraman's egotism, with him putting himself and his alter ego at the center of most of his own reports.

The animal companion is a cornerstone of silver age goofiness and its nice to see it reflected on Earth 3. We are assuming that they both come from Earth 3 because Sea King seems to already know them before the events of the game.

The "Injustice" building is obviously the taken over justice building and even if not named in episode it's place in the sky makes it obvious that it is the Owl's Nest.

The electric torture techniques used are also similar to the Agony Booths use by the Terran Empire in the famous "Mirror, Mirror" episode of Star Trek.

The Main Universe Jarvis Kord wanted to take the Blue Beetle scarab and use its technology to take over the world. He particularly thought taking over the world would end all strife and war, not very difficult then to see how his Earth 3 counterpart would be a Hero.

The Promethium 90 is stolen from a lab in Batman: The Brave and the Bold Deep Cover for Batman!Season 1, Episode 12. What we know in the comics about Promethium means it's a good guess that it's Star Labs, because Promethium is what Cyborg's metal is made out of. Taking it could mean two things. That Cyborg's father never tried to save him or his accident hasn't happened yet. I am assuming that he is dead or uninjured because Cyborg never appeared in Brave And The Bold so I doubt Grid would exist on Earth 23.

Also I like the use of the Red Spade as the Red Hood's calling card. Not only is it a reference to Ace chemicals, but in a deck there's no such thing as a Red Spade showing his place as an aberration in this world of villains.
