Who is Supernova

[Tropico]

Spoiler

I'm thinking that Supernova is either Connor, or another of Lex's clones. Or a combination of the two.

Spoiler

Soooo, now he's a clone of Todd+Luthor?

 

[The Punisher]

Supernova is Captain Atom.

.......No seriously, where is he?

 

[Tropico]

He was brought back from the Wildstorm universe and given a containment suit that makes him look exactly like Monarch.

 

[The Punisher]

Odd considering he was on the cover of JLA #1.

 

[Anubis]

Which was just a cover and didn't mean anything.

Anyway, during 52, he was being experimented on by Father Time and the government in what was left of Bludhaven.

He was brought back from the Wildstorm universe and given a containment suit that makes him look exactly like Monarch.

Havent really been keeping up todate with the good Captain but this new containment suit....Do you think the look has much significance or foreboding for the future, given that he was the original choice for Monarch?

 

[Anubis]

That's what Wizard said. He was supposedly changed by his time in the Wilstorm Universe.

Unfortunately, I think it does NOT bode well. It wasn't just the suit, but his attitude wasn't exactly the best one either. Since I've been collecting comics for a couple of decades some of these nods to the past are cool in my eyes; others...well, let's just say that preferred it when DC had kept these "cases" closed once they were resolved. It's a lot like the whole Xorneto thing, it had been dealt with; what was the point of rehashing it? Just so someone else can bring their own spin on it? It's the same with the whole Armaggedon thing; it was done and dealt with later (most notably in JSA), let-it-rest! But I guess the whole "time is broken" bit will open doors that should have been left closed, IMO.

Dude I solved this already.

Supernova=Zombie Blue Beetle.

 

[Kitsune]

Dude I solved this already.

Supernova=Zombie Blue Beetle.

Na, Supernova=Jean Lorning...

 

[Kitsune]

Okay, I guess the Jean Lorning joke must be getting old. Conner or another Luthor clone seems to be the most likely candidate. Luthor did have contact with his "son" close to the end of Crisis. Could Luthor have coppied Conner's mind for back up? Supernova's powers don't quite fit the Kryptonian profile, but Luthor could have done some tweaking to add different powers. Any other thoughts?

 

[SouLeSS]

The Jean Lorning joke was old the minute someone started posting it.

 

[roach]

Supernova=Booster Gold from another time

 

[Brian Braddock]

Nah, it's Max Lord.

 

[yenaled]

Nah, it's a Daxamite.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Or a Czarnian.

I've been searching the board for a simmilar thread, but didn't find it. So I thought I'd start my own. There seems to be an indication that Supernova is an exisitng character, since Clark says he's seems to know his stuff. I'm not a big DC guy, though I read enough about both Marvel and DC to hold my own, but I'm currious to see if anyone has any idea of who Supernova is?

supernova is the temperature hotter than the sun.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

It's Martian Manhunter during another of his Identity Crisis.

 

[BrianWilly]

Hawkeye.

 

[Tropico]

It's the Ray that everyone is biatching about that got replaced.

 

[WompuM]

It's Brandon Routh

 

[Fledermaus]

Ambush Bug.

 

[blksuperman2]

[Kitsune]
