Not to mention I thought Identity Crisis sucked.

To me, it would be like putting on Barry Allen's bio that he ran himself to death in 1985. A significant event both for Allen and the DCU, but not something I'd use as an introduction to the character, which is what I would want to see on a bio. Personality + powers/abilities = perfect bio. Character history is better left to themed versions of figures (like that Crisis version of Barry).

Maybe the difference is that we will get 20 Barry figures so they don't feel the need with him being well known. What are the odds that they make more figures of Ralph? Perhaps they figured it was needed here.
