13. The Flash (1990)

The return of Earth-90's Flash was, of course, a cameo that was both expected - given his prominence in Elseworlds - and well-deserved. What we didn't expect was the beautiful flashback to the 1990s TV series, as we watched John Wesley Shipp's Barry Allen and Amanda Pays' Tina McGee declare their faith in one another - just as he perished in the Crisis.

This, and the unexpected reveal that he ended up marrying Tina, confirmed that he was indeed the exact same Flash from the TV series - and it was the ultimate tribute to the classic show's Scarlet Speedster.
