Ocean Master appears to be a heroic version of the villainous Ocean Master. Hawk wears the armor of Warhawk from the Justice League Unlimited cartoon series. The alternate Red Arrow is not named as such in this story. We Are Firestorm is made up of what appears to be 5 people. Wonder Woman was married to Superman in this alternate reality prior to his death.
