So, I think that 5th Dimensional Imps are the same being as Pre Crisis Imps.
What do you think?
Yes he does remember; 1 quick example is in the last arc of Supergirl v4 (Many Happy Returns). And yes, he is the same being as pre-crisis though he did undergo a change in the 70s. Spectre was killed in Justice League of America #83 (1970), then returned and it was clarified in Adventure Comics #434 letter's page that this Spectre is Earth-One Spectre (the previous one was Earth-two), and later in America vs Justice Society it's revealed that Spectre had been popping from time to time as an alternate Jim Corrigan. Which also means that while the the Spectre's host is an alternate Corrigan, the Spectre-force is one and the same. Especially considering that in All Star Comics we see Earth-two Corrigan isn't Spectre's host.
No the imps aren't the same, Superman Family #208 already established that there are alternate versions of Mxy (Earth-Two Mxy, the one from the Golden Age era, is different from Earth-One Mxy, SA/BA era of PC), and pre-Crisis imps weren't nigh omnipotent beings , they were well below their post-crisis power level. Hell, pre-Crisis, Earth-One, Mxy was KOed by a regular rock thrown on his head.
