Who is Supernova

[Kitsune]

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.

I'm not so sure it's Booster... I don't know about DC much, but that feels wrong... sort of the way Power Girl being Arion's grandaughter felt wrong.

Supernova really doesn't strike me as being coner... I suppose he could be the Eradicator... whatever happened to him?

Most recently the Eradicator has returned to his near original state of being, however his new costume resembles an amalgam of his first appearance and that of Superman's. In Superman #220, (November 2005), the Eradicator was seriously injured by an OMAC. He is said during Infinite Crisis to be in a coma at Steel's headquarters, Steelworks. His fate One Year Later is unknown.

There ya go.

I put my vote in for eradicator. It's been a while, but didn't eradicator have energy powers, I remember him firing blasts from his hands.

could Supernova be RIP HUNTER trying to fix the timeline that is broken

 

[Kitsune]

I suppose the power could be explained by time travel... but it doesn't feel right.

 

[OA blaster]

it would explain where he shows up

Most everyone in the thread, so far, seems to think that way. I don't really have a vast knowledge of the DC Universe like I do with the Marvel Universe so I would honestly have no idea.

According to the four writers in Wizard they're going to make a pretty big deal out of it though.

It's Ted Kord from an alternate timeline.

[Darthphere]

It's Ted Kord from an alternate timeline.

I called it already:

Supernova=Zombie Blue Beetle.

 

[OA blaster]

could he just be an alien

 

[Brian Braddock]

Or Dan Garrett.

 

[OA blaster]

Or Dan Garrett.

bloody hell i hope not

 

[Brian Braddock]

Lol. Don't worry - I was just joking with that last one.

My money's on an alternate Booster.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Or Garthan Saal.

 

[Kitsune]

I think I know who it is

Spoiler

It's Jean Lorning

 

[Kitsune]

Okay, It looks like we may find out more about Supernova next week, anyone care to hazzard a guess as to what we find out.

 

[Anubis]

He doesn't have an anus?

 

[Fledermaus]

No, he has an anus, but its not where it should be.

They could be fighting. Heros fighting happens a lot in comics.

it probally be them talking for a couple of panels

 

[Superman \S/]

I think Supernova is someone that is involved in the Superman mythos. If not, there's always a possibility he could be someone else.

 

[Kitsune]

It would make sense. Wasn't Supernova a name Superman took at a point where he lost his pwoers and became a Batman type?
