Who is Supernova

[sethcohen]

what if its starman from JSA? how trippy would that be? a version from further in the future? doubt it though... im still pulling for it being booster...

Check out Supernova holding the package like a quarterback holding a football when he is talking to Rip Hunter.

That puts him at Booster or Daniel Carter for me, and Ralph doesn't know Daniel.

The other hints as well, someone who usually uses technology but using it in a new way.

Of course could be all be red herrings.

Something which has just occurred to me, Booster lied to Skeets about what he saw in Rip Hunter's lab (said he saw "nothing" all the way back in week 6). He must have a reason for that. I think when Skeets said "he knows" might not have been referring to Rip Hunter but maybe Booster.

Oh s***! You're right. I assumed Booster made the same mistake we all made when we saw those walls-- that Rip was blaming Booster for time breaking. However, if Booster got the message right, he would've known Skeets was breaking time. That's why he told Skeets he didn't see anything.

well, i'm convinced. good job, guys.

 

[WompuM]

Thats what I figured the 2nd time reading the issues.

 

[LinternaVerde]

welcome back, dr. palmer

 

[Kebab gud]

so just because he uses The atoms diveces he IS the atom?
so then Supergirl and powergirl are also the atom?

 

[LinternaVerde]

so, who is supernova?

Spoiler

it technically could be anyone using ray's belt but i doubt they would throw another twist in there. it would make it too convoluted. it's easier to make it ray since ralph figured him out by putting clues together and saying he's displaying powers different than he has in the past. i bet it's ray. they were waiting for the right time to bring him back to the dcu and this is probably it.

The hair looks more like Booster Gold and DC likes to mess with time so he's gonna be supernova because his origing changed and the pieces that made his suit from the museum changed when time changed and he became a different hero. DUR!

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

It's Danny Rand.

 

[Noir]

its Peter Pan.

 

[Darthphere]

Ned Leeds.

I don't know where you got those pics from, but if it's ray, what does it being him have anything to do with Superman being the key to who his secret ID? (at the same time, how would booster fit that clue?)
And why (unless the pic is just unfinished, doubtful at this point) would they not show that it's Ray since the atom-shrinking symbol would make him the obvious choice? It seems more likely that it's someone that has the shrinking tech.
Although, it would work with not wanting to be called Atom (after what happened) and his sense of what a hero is.

And is it just me, or has anyone else thought that maybe Skeets was being controlled by Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw)?

Well, whoever it is, "We learn the true identity of Supernova next week."

And didn't he teleport a whole crowd of people out of danger??? Since when can Palmer do that??

 

[Tropico]

The suit! DUR!

 

[WompuM]

I really hope it's Palmer. I mean, him hiding in Kandor since IdC would be neat.

 

[Manic]

I'm calling it right now.

DC will pull a "Monarch" and change Supernova's identity at the last minute just to confuse us.

Booster fits it because how else would Booster Gold ever become a premium hero if Superman was around? He was only ever on the JLA because Superman was not - as odd as it sounds Booster being a good hero seems to rely on Superman not being around. Add to when Superman went down against Doomsday, Booster was the first person to jump in against Doomsday, I'm also sure he was one of the people who helped protect Metropolis during the Death of Superman.

Mike Siglain also hinted that it was more than one person playing the role, well that fits with the fact that Booster would hire people to play the role when he himself had to play himself. Such as when he had to fake his own death to make Skeets believe he wasn't a threat.

That's my pulling on straws guess though.

Despite the fact they have just about written every issue of 52 now? You think they will pull them off of the printers or out of artists hands to change it... and then make 52 run late?

lol

NRAMA: Does Egg-Fu get nervous at Easter time?

MS: Very.

 

[King Ruler]

I'm still going with Jimmy or the Ray.

Actually, if I remember right, booster tried to take down Doomsday with the rest of the JLI, but got his butt handed to him and he was only able to give a warning and called him Doomsday and he didn't protect Metropolis in Superman's absence, that's what the 4 different Supermen were about.

However, if it were an older, more mature Booster, that would also fit with his attitude toward BG's showboating.

Shrink em all, move em, grow them all back up.

I really hope it's Palmer. I miss that big guy. err... little guy.
