Line 47:
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Dr. Light, ''and HOW''.
* [[Nuclear Physics Goof]]: A nuclear-powered character ( {{spoiler|Firestorm}}) is skewered by a sword. He has to fly off to prevent himself from killing his allies, as "they ... know what happens when you puncture a nuclear reactor", and he is shown exploding. Except, as [http://www.whiterose.org/howlingcurmudgeons/archives/006974.html Greg Morrow notes], not much actually happens if you puncture a nuclear reactor. (Further flavoring the [[Did Not Do the Research]] stew is that the character's powers were never shown to work that way previously; he had nuclear abilities, but was not a "nuclear reactor".)
* [[PietaPietà Plagiarism]]: Ralph Dibny holding Sue's body in the comic's opening scene.
* [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: Dr. Light's rape of Sue is enough for a circle of JLA members to lobotomize him, something they never did to any villain beforehand. Unfortunately, this series led to other comics to include [[Gratuitous Rape|rape as a source of drama often with little need to and little tact]].
** This pretty much upended Dr. Light's return to form, as subsequent writers tended to make him a serial rapist.
