That thing was too awesome. Actually, I miss the days when the Top tinkered and invented stuff, which he doesn't seem to do in the modern era.

In v1 #312, Heat Wave and his old cellmate get framed by their parole officer, and HW reminds his buddy that the guy always mentioned he talked in his sleep about his crimes. Then I flipped through the issue again just now, and the parole officer said that was a hypnotic suggestion he planted, so maybe Mick didn't really talk in his sleep and this might not count. But it does still involve the plot point being used to move the story forward, so maybe it sort of does.

It's been way too long since I read those. I’ve been racking my brains and can’t think of the others. It’s been way too long since I read those.

I guess everybody in the Flashverse talks coherently in their sleep...
