- Development Gag: In the Flashpoint-verse, the Shazam! powers were given to a group of six kids, one power each, who can join forces to summon "Captain Thunder". The use of six heroes was the original concept for Captain Marvel before the writers decided to give all the powers to just one guy, and "Captain Thunder" was the original choice for his name before they found it was trademarked.
- It's also the name of the Captain Ersatz of Captain Marvel that DC introduced to fight Superman before they secured the rights to the actual character.
- First Appearance: This event serves as the debut of the Shazam! characters Eugene Choi, Darla Dudley, and Pedro Peña.
- What Could Have Been: According to Geoff Johns on the commentary track for Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Flashpoint wasn't originally designed to reboot the DCU into the New 52. This means that originally the DC Universe was going to go back to how it was prior to before the events of Flashpoint as opposed to the altered version of it that it became.
