The answer is simple. One of the impressions I've gotten is that once
CRISIS is all done, anything that happened before it is --- in the words
of an infamous Presidential Press Secretary --- no longer operative, or
rather, no longer *necessarily* operative. So, if anything they do from
then on conflicts with something published 15 years ago, tough toenails.
So, considering that the Tornado Twins appeared only once (I believe), in
the late 60's, DC might just decide that they never existed.
