Did they ever mention if Vandal Savage could have children?

In the comics, he has tons of kids/descendants whose existence is literally only to provide an organ bank for him; when one of his parts starts going on the fritz, he just goes to a family tree chart and picks one out, has them kidnapped/murdered and gets his part replaced.

Dunno how they handle the brain though.

... Organ harvesting? But uhhh I thought he couldn't die no matter what. Maybe the gang should invite him out for drinks until he gets alcohol poisoning. Sara and Snart could drink him under the table.

Pre-Flashpoint Savage was immortal, but not invulnerable and not capable of total regeneration like this version. He was still a megalomaniac with ideations of conquest. He was ties to the Vandals for obvious reasons.

Post-Flashpoint Savage is a bit more muddled. In that his depiction in Demon Knights has him as more Nihilistic Barbarian, a mini has him as a Hannibal Lecter type of Sociopath and his most recent appearance is typical supervillain.

The episode description meme is pretty great, but I think it's greatest when the C-plot description (the ole A,B,C tv-writing thing) is something totally inconsequential. Bonus points when it plays on Ray being awkward.

This is terrible, they cheaped out on the Hex makeup, and somehow the Hawkgirl storyline just got even worse. This show practically counts as pro-Savage propaganda by this point.

The Team goes back to 1855 to prevent Vandal Savage from precipitating the American Civil War for his own ends. Jackson feels uncomfortable, saying his "separate but equal" relationship with Stein has hit an impasse. Ray trips on a racist and starts to apologize.

It's Hamlet's opening night, and Vandal Savage has kidnapped William Shakespeare in an attempt to control the crown. Snart has to replace the famous playwright until the team gets him back. Ray forgets to change his clothes but no one notices.

Can't wait until the episode were we find out that Jack the Ripper was Savage, and one of the women he murdered was Hawkgirl. He was also William Gull at the time too.

Y'know, one of the more oblique failings of the show is that they haven't come across any alternate versions of the Hawks throughout history. It's not like Carter and Kendra would remember those meetings very clearly anyway so you shouldn't even have to worry about messing up the timeline..

And he uses the ship to make almost perfect replicas, but since its past no one has the technology to notice and by the time they do it is actually the correct age of the artifact.
