The episode discusses a fan theory regarding the HBO series Lanterns, suggesting that the show is subtly introducing the iconic DC Comics villain Black Hand. While the series currently focuses on the Manhunters as the primary antagonists, the author argues that members of the Macon family serve as reimagined versions of the Hand family from the source material.
