Tonight’s episode of Arrow–part one of a two-part midseason finale–saw a hell of a lot happening–and almost all of it revolved around a few key figures in Oliver Queen’s comic book life.Barry Allen, Slade Wilson and Roy Harper all took center stage this week in big ways–and heck, even the B- or C-story featuring Moira Queen got a little DC Universe-centric with her references to…well, we’re getting ahead of ourselves.What were the Easter eggs and DC Universe references we noticed while watching “The Scientist?” Well, try these on for size:

Flash
Barry’s Always Late
Qward Kord Enterprises
The Qward Enterprises 2VX-900 is the name of the centrifuge that’s stolen from Queen Consolidated.
It’s hard not to wonder what powers that sucker, given that the Weaponers of Qward are a society of smiths and engineers that comprise a large population of the native Qwardian race. Who are they? Well, they designed Sinestro’s yellow power ring, which runs on fear.
It’s probably unlikely we’ll see the actual antimatter universe in which the planet Qward resides but, like Metamorpho and Amazo, it’s a cool way to bring characters and concepts unlikely to to turn up on Arrow to the small screen.
