No, that's usually included. The element I'm looking for was not only omitted but changed in some origin retellings; including the history on the back of his Heroclix card!

The chemical that changed him and gave him super-speed was changed into a chemical that just activated his latent meta-gene ??? I think it was "heavy water" in the retcon.

Nope, that's not it. Even in Flash Comics #1, it was called "heavy water".

Umm... the origin of his helmut?

Or maybe the ability to vibrate his head so no one could make out his facial features?

The fact that he drank the heavy water on purpose, rather than "falling asleep" or "being overcome by the fumes"?

When our story opens, the Question is investigating an impossible locked-room murder mystery involving a midget and a 6'6"-tall call girl into heavy bondage. Don't worry, I'll explain later. It's all vitally relevant.

I've heard of drinking problems, but that takes the cake.

This is proving to be a difficult one, so I will allow players to "look up" the answer. By that I mean go back and re-read the original story, and see if you can spot the difference.

The diff being why he was there. First, he was drinking that "Heavy Water" thinking he'd get drunk.
In the retcon, he was drinking that "Hard Water", thinking it'd work like liquid ######, cause he had a date that night and didn't want to disappoint.

OK, it has nothing to do with the compound he was experimenting with or the name thereof. Heavy water, hard water, fire water, whatever.

I don't know what Baron Zemo has to do with this, but it's not him. It's nothing to do with Jay's helmet, either.

Helmut, helmet... it's all the same.

Was it he was wearing the same clothes that became his costume in one version of the origin while not wearing those in the other version?

Was it that, before he gained the powers, he was running around being called the Flash anyways... possibly because, aside from the helmet, he also wore a trenchcoat and he'd seemingly pop up out of nowhere and open the coat, thereby garnering the nickname "The Flash"
