Line 90:
** To further confuse the point, the Flash ''really is'' Lex Luthor (on ''[[Smallville]]''). That is to say, Michael Rosenbaum, who plays Luthor in ''Smallville'', is also the voice of the Flash.
** It's averted in the same episode by the fact that Dr. Fate, whose magic was involved in the mind switch, immediately points out that Luthor's mind has ended up in Flash's body.

* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' episode "Bubble Boy" has Bubbles impersonating her [[Spear Counterpart]] Boomer. However, she actually does have trouble with Boomers mannerisms (which apparently includes eating cockroaches) and Brick is almost immediately suspicious of her. [[Paper
