1) The Puffball GL made its one and only appearance about twenty years before Flashpoint (i.e., circa the 1990's).
2) The evil Puffballs faced by the Hulk (and which had been corrupted by the Brood-like N'Garai) were first encountered during his brief exile to the Crossroads of Eternity, two years before TALES OF THE GL CORPS.
3) I loved the psychic duel between Vixen and Mouse Man! It reminded me of the one between Xavier and Abdul Faoul, when they first met (in the pages of the Claremont-era UNCANNY X-MEN).
4) But, my inner jury is still out on Devouris. Right now, even the 1966 Hanna-Barbera version of Galactus seems comparatively scarier!
Author's Response:
The psychic battle was definitely influenced by Xavier vs. the Shadow King (though I think I first saw that scene on the X-Men cartoon).
Devouris is not really meant to be scary. He's a total joke character, but pretty fun to write.

Shirely I didn't see that joke coming!
Brilliant stuff, thought you abandoned this story but nay, you didn't!
