* SeriesContinuityError: a relatively minor one, but Clark expresses great surprise at finding someone who can "move like him". However, even disregarding the other Kryptonian-powered characters, Clark has faced off against the similarly speedy Emily Dinsmore on two separate occasions.

Added DiffLines:

* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: The first major episode that depicts superpowers not connected to kryptonite or Krypton, as Bart's SuperSpeed is entirely separate from the GreenRocks. This allows the show to start integrating more of the general DC mythology without having to tie it into the MetaOrigin. This culminates into introductions to Aquaman and Cyborg, and eventually Season 6's "Justice" episode.
