Trivia

  • "Buried Alien" is a reference to Barry Allen, the Flash of the DC Universe. Besides a similar sounding "real" name, the character wore a tattered red costume with yellow accents and boots, felt like he had a "ball of energy -- like lightning -- inside of" him, was from an alternate reality, and when he first appeared the last thing he remembered was "running", a reference to Barry Allen's death in Crisis on Infinite Earths, where he ran himself to death (here, instead of dying, he was transported to another reality). He is also declared the "fastest man alive" (the Flash's most common epithet) by the end of his first appearance, which he says "feels... right".
