Who is Supernova

If Supernova is Booster, then its quite easy for him to exist even though an earlier version (arguably) of himself died;

* Booster travels to the past expecting to be a member of the JLA after helping in the upcoming crisis.
* This doesn't happen, and time has begun to unravel.
* He starts to be a 'mercinary', for lack of a better word, and gets sponsorship deals and stages heroic actions.
* If he continues on this path he causes more and more deaths and becomes less and less of a hero.

Now at this point, Booster (who we will call Booster 2)in the future realises that he has to stop this from happening, by going back in time and becoming Super Nova.

* Booster 2 comes back in time with a new suit which gives him different powers. He takes the name Super Nova.
* Rather than releiving the stress that has built on Booster, it actually causes his downfall to occur in a much faster way.
* Booster 2 has created a divergant time line, which is a lot easier now that 'time is broken'.
* Booster dies, but Booster 2 survives due to the fact that when he traveled back in time Booster survived to become him.

Once someone jumps back in time, they are external to the time line. They have to be in order to bypass the laws of physics and actually travel in reverse through time. Because Booster 2 is out of linear time, he can't be affected by Booster's death. If her were to go back to the future, i'd guess then he would be affected, but as it stands, he is the survivor of a defunct time line protected by the very fact that he came back.

And i'll point out, that however stupid and out there that this reads, Grant Morrison was and is one of the people involved in the 52 story plan. So, expect it to be a tad weird :)
 
Wasn't skeets encoperated into Booster's Armor? I remember reading that somewhere.

I think he's cool.
 
I am oddly comfortable with Supernova. I have no reason to trust him but for some reason I like him.
Did anyone read the alternate ending to #15. It was pretty good I thought. I great Clark moment.
 
I think Supernova is just Supernova. Just some new guy.

He could be, but Clark did say he seemed like a seasoned Vet... I hate it when they create new characters out of whole cloth and then treat them like seasoned vets. I had a bad reaction to the Thunderbolts when they first showed up because I though Marvel was doing the same thing; so I was happy when they turned out to be the Masters of Evil. I'm not sure who Supernova is, I hope he's not a villian playing hero though.
 
I know how much you miss Conner, *pats ASS on the back*, but i'm sure he'll come back in a way we least expect.
 
No he won't Conner is gone; its just a shame though he had to die. Oh well atleast we have the best GL ever back


Hal Jordan. :up:
 
I like Conner alot, heck he was my favorite Titan. But i am liking the new characters being introduced for TT. Kid Devil is awesome.
 
Supernova really doesn't strike me as being coner... I suppose he could be the Eradicator... whatever happened to him?
 
totally off topic, but is sarah carter that uberhot teleporter chick with a screw loose from smallville?

wait... maybe sarah carter is supernova?!
 
Another thread gone off topic by the beauty of Sarah Carter

We now return you to your regularly schedualed topic already in progress...
 
That chicks got quite a chin going there. I bet she could crack a bolder in half with it.

The seed of Leno is strong in her...
 
Man, everyone seems to think it's an alternate Booster Gold. Heh.

Actually, it's possible. Remember earlier in the 52 series when Booster went to get Skeets worked on and he went into that lab with all the crazy writings on the chalkboard and it said "Time is Broken". That fits.

So, who knows what's going to happen.

In the latest Wizard they had an article about 52 with the four writers talking over who Supernova is going to be. It was cool reading that article as those guys seem to work really well together.

And with Morrison, Johns, Waid, Rucka, and Giffen working together it actually makes me kind of wet in the pants if you don't mind me saying.
