The Flash Season 5: 10 Easter Eggs & References You Might Have Missed In 'Nora'
3. The Third Atom
When Central City found itself in peril and Barry found himself without a suit, Nora gave her father a gift from the future: the Flash Ring. Barry then used the future tech for the first time on the show which resulted in the Scarlet Speedster donning a brand new outfit. Upon witnessing the new suit in action, Cisco exclaimed with disbelief at the possibility that he could have created that. However, Nora corrected him, telling him that the suit was designed by Ryan Choi.
In the comics, Choi is the third Atom. A former protege of the first Atom, Ray Palmer, he eventually ends up taking up the heroic mantle when his mentor vanishes.
While this could have been just another fun little Easter Egg from the future, it is quite troubling for the Arrowverse's Ray Palmer, especially since the 2049 newspaper article suggests that he will end up lost in time. Could we see Choi eventually show up to take his place?
