Who is Supernova

[Colossal Spoons]

Well we now know

Spoiler

It's not Superman/Clark Kent, and Clark doesn't know who it is

We know that Ralph figured it out, which tends to indicate that we have an existing character. Supernova says that "There's to much at stake" so the person behind the mask has a reason for doing this other than just "I want to be a hero" Also Ralph's attitude tends to indicate that it's not a villain that he's talking to, so we can rule out the original Dr. Light etc. Other than that I'm out of ideas. It could be Atom, maybe Rip Hunter. Their was a hint that it may be "More that one character" I take this to mean someone using tech from more than one hero, but that doesn't lead me to any conclusions.

I'm going in circles here.

Wait, you think that truth serum actually worked on him? Cuz I think Clark was just going along with it to throw them off.

Well that is possible. God knows how kryptonian physiology would react to truth serum. If that is the case, the writers are being rather unfair to the readers.

 

[BrianWilly]

Well right now Clark's physiology is completely human, isn't it?

Still, it bears mentioning that Clark said Supernova wasn't Superman; he never said that Supernova wasn't Clark Kent.

And I still think that it is. Why else would he need that Kryptonite glove from Batman's cave?

Even if clarks powers are drained, he is still not a human being.

 

[King Ruler]

Hmmmm, now for some reason I'm thinking Supernova is either Jimmy Olsen OR The Ray (Raymond Terrill or Stan Silver). Don't ask me why. I really have strong feeling about those.

 

[Dope Nose]

what about Maximum from the Supermen of America?

 

[Sebastos]

Supernova is Ned Leeds.

LOL!

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

the guy booster grabbed, (daniel carter) is boosters ancestor but skeets didnt send him to the future. he sent him to a vortex in the past where he would relive his moment of football glory over and over again.

I don't think that's what happened? I think he sent him to the exact moment that Booster was killed and switched places with him?

But wait...if he dies then there's no Booster in the future...cause he's the only ancestor? Whatever

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, at this point, I dont care who Supernova is. Like they wants us to care, but I dont. We havent seen much from the character for me to care about who he is.

 

[NHawk19]

Wait. You think Supernova is Hal Jordan?

I was going for left field with that one

 

[Kenda Man]

Whoa, that would be an awesome comeback for the Ray. We never did see what happened to the Ray after IC ended. He could have been experimented on and had his powers enhanced.

I would like to see what happens to Captain Atom, he was last seen wearing the Monarch armor from Battle for Bludhaven. Armageddon was a cool story to read, and I would like to see more of Atom.

Crazy idea, and I'm unsure if it was mentioned, but what if Wally West was Super Nova? It's hard to explain the flying, but maybe he received some altered piece of the speed force, and he can maniuplate it. I know Bart is suppose to have the entire speed force "in himself", but some altered version may have gotten to Wally and he's been using it without Bart knowing, and where has Bart been throughout 52? I know the theory is very flawed, but if you have the same writers that are currently writing 52, they could make it work.

 

[Manic]

It's always the person you least suspect.

Supernova is Animal Man's wife.

 

[Hush]

I have just been getting vibes that Supernova is Black Lightning, why the hell not.

 

[Manic]

Because Supernova doesn't jive-talk when in costume.

 

[Hush]

Good point well I guess that debunks my idea, anyone else up for naming random characters?

 

[Kenda Man]

It's always the person you least suspect.

Supernova is Animal Man's wife.

Lol, These super hero Wives are trouble. Gilda With Two Face, and Jean Loring with Ray Palmer. It's unsafe to be married in the DC universe.

Super Nova could be jive-talking off panel, so Black Lighting could be a possibility!

 

[Flash-er]

Has anyone actually made a list of all the "clues" out there?

-the type of powers he has
-ralph's talk with him on the rooftop
~From the talk, we know superman's directly connected and that was "one of two keys if you want to be cute about it"

What other clues am I missing? (I know there's a lot)
Has Supernova been in any of the OYL titles?

supernova's symbol is the same one used by the glaxay broadcasting station[owned by Morgan edge], which clark kent[and Lana] worked as an anchors for in the 70s era comics. Supernova also knows his way to the batcave, only a few major superheroes know where it is [superman,superboy,wonderwoman]

 

[Speedball]

Supernova = Ronnie Raymond

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Even if clarks powers are drained, he is still not a human being.

Wait, who drained his powers?

 

[Dope Nose]

they were drained when he and Kal-L dragged Superboy Prime through Krypton's red sun.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Oh wow, I didn't know that.

Dude a LOT of people know where the Batcave is. Superman, the late Superboy, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Wally West, Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner, Orin, Plastic Man, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, the Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Ralph Dibny, Catwoman, Green Arrow, Robin, Nightwing, Zatanna, Sasha Bordeaux Oracle, the late Spoiler, the late Blue Beetle, the late Azrael, and probally others.

And don't forget about the villains, the Red Hood, Talia, Bane, the late Ra's al Ghul and his Ubus, Nyssa and that guy that blindly followed her around, Batgirl, David Cain, Despero, Hush, and probally others.

Alfred, the late Jack Drake, the late Harold and Leslie Thompkins.

Dude, the Batcave is one of the WORST kept secrets in comicdom. Even I been there.

 

[Dope Nose]

Lex Luthor is beginning to seem more and more likely, though I'm guessing even Lex himself is unaware of his duel identity. after re-reading week 22 it almost seems as though Luthor is the only one who sees Supernova outside his office window. it would also explain why Supernova is able to sense when he is under surveillance given he would have prior knowledge of the placement of Lexcorp's comm. satellite. Luthor was also shown to have the ability to teleport during Infinite Crisis. I'm guessing he's suffering from some sort of multiple personality disorder.

 

[Manic]

Whoever Supernova is, he's informed enough to know where the Batcave is, but out-of-the-loop enough to not know Wonder Girl's name is Cassie. And her identity is public.

Whoever he is, I'm guessing he's a hero who's been in limbo for some time.
