Who is Supernova

[yenaled]

I miss Booster.

 

[Anubis]

I miss Growing Pains.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Man, me too. Kirk Cameron was my hero when I was growing up.

 

[Anubis]

Then he found Religion, and abandoned us.....I also always wanted to do his sister.

 

[yenaled]

I've never watched Growing Pains

 

[Hush]

We just watched and episode of Growing Pains in my Teen Esteem class. Man that class is a joke its for all the emo-goth kids at my school that listen to Hawthorne, I took it because im a Senior and wanted an easy A.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah right Emo boy.

 

[Hush]

Yes its true I have the suicidal tendencies of an Emo child. lol. Ironically the episode was the one where the Santa Clause tries to jump down there chimney to kill himself, man that show was so good and it teaches so many lessons.

 

[Anubis]

Like how to come up with interesting ways to kill yourself.

@darthphere
well if you thnik, that you explain supernova= booster with the time is broken explanation, then you can come up with pretty much any bloke as upernova.
you are clingin to straws.

It is possible. We have identified the powers as being similar to a pre-crisis character who used devices that came from the future to become "Superwoman.' When Booster went back to his future, Skeets had been encorperated into his suit and I believe the suit was broken. When Booster shows up again Skeets is back to normal and he's acting like the old Booster. I think the theory is that Booster goes back to the future, decides to start again with different tools and a different identity. The Booster who died could have been another Booster from an slightly different future from the current "Supernova" Booster, perhapse an echo caused by Superboy's pounding at the walls of DC continuity.

The main problem with this is it doesn't explain why Wondergirl thought Supernova was Kon-EL. Still this could be explained away by wishfull thinking on her part, as Luthor thinks. Of course it's ironic because we know that Luthor is wrong about who he thinks Supernova is.

 

[ent0r]

I!!!! identified that the powers belonged to superwoman.
But it is simply atrocious to assume, that 2 booster gold happen to be in the same "timeline" and that he called "himself" a fraud.

Clinging to straws? Is English your second language, by any chance?

I didn't assume anything. I simply stated since Booster was a time traveler, he might be able to get access to that tech. And if it is another Booster, then he might well call the other Booster a fraud, either because he thought he was an imposter, or because he was berating a younger version of himself. I don't think this is nessisarly the best solution, but it the facts don't contradict it yet. The great detective once said "Once you've eliminated the impossible, whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be true."

If I was falling off a mountain, id hate to be clinging to straws.

HENCE, WHY ITS CALLED THEORY.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I really hope Supernova isn't Booster even though I still am not convinced it to be possible.

 

[Darthphere]

When you have a character which involves time travelling, its possible to have mutliple versions of the same character running around. My gods, did you guys not watch Back to the Future?

Heck, rember the eppisode of Futrama where Fry ends up pushing himself into the cryogenic chamber?

Yea but I don't see the motive. That is the problem with the theory. There is no motive for Booster Gold to do that. Yea he is responsible for the time thing messing up but that wouldn't make sense for an alternate or future version of him to come in and do what he is and has been doing.

No motive? What if the Booster that came back was not the same Booster that left? I mean, the Booster we were seeing wasn't acting like the Booster that learned what it was to be a hero. If the heroic Booster came back after IC had happened and saw "himself" behaving the way he was behaving he would have every reason to try to outdo the "corrupt" Booster so he could reclaim his rightful place. But, since "time is broken" it's unlikely this scenario will ever happen.

 

[trustyside-kick]

I don't see how in IC and up to IC Booster Gold saw what it meant to to be a hero. To me, before, during, and after IC Booster Gold was the same. I never really liked him for that attitude either but that is not why I hope he isn't Supernova.

---------------------
In Week 6 where Booster Gold enters Rip Hunter's lab did anyone read everything on the page and pages later on?

I will ask this in the 52 thread as well because I forget if we got in depth about that scene or not several weeks ago but here is the stuff that would add to any of stuff that could possibly deal with Supernova.

- "Find the last 'EL'"
- "Man of Steel"
- "What happened to the son of Superman?"
- "I'm not kryptonite"
- "2000 years from now"
- "Who is Super Nova?"
- "TIME IS BROKEN"
- "IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!"

I included the Superman-related ones to add to the Connor Kent theory. The rest should be obvious why I am pointing them out and with Rip Hunter asking who Super Nova is that would rule him out as being him which I believe some people have suggested slightly.

 

[Kitsune]

- "IT'S ALL HIS FAULT!"
.

"It's his fault" refers to Skeets.

If you're gonna go by his JLI days I can see how you would think less of him. If you ever read his series or saw some of his other appearances you'd find that you're very wrong. I don't think Supes' "vouch" for him in the recent JLofA was contained to the year where we had the jerk Booster back.

When you have a character which involves time travelling, its possible to have mutliple versions of the same character running around. My gods, did you guys not watch Back to the Future?

No. The same character in different times. That was the entire point!! Consider. In BTTF 2, when Marty and Doc go back to 1955, they encounter 'younger' versions of themselves.

Now, no matter what happens to 'older' Doc and Marty, the younger versions are safe (remember BTTF part 1?). Say, for example while in 1955, older Marty had been attacked and killed by Biff and his gang. This would not affect younger Marty, as he would still have to travel to 1985, then to 2015, then to alternate 1985, then back to 1955 to get attacked and killed by Biff and his gang, you see?

However, if by older Marty or Doc's intervention, something had happened to younger Marty and/or Doc, this would have an instantanteous effect on the older versions also. What happens to the younger versions will affect younger and older, what happens to the older versions will only affect the older versions.

Supernova can only be booster if:

A) It's a different Booster from a parallel timeline (very possible but overly contrived IMO)

B) A younger version of Booster travelled back in time to become Supernova and encountered his older self being an ass. He also witnessed his older self being killed. At some point yet to come, he travels back to the future (heh), has his memory wiped and then returns back to the past (now as his older version) and gets killed. And how stupid does that sound?

You follow now?

As the Doc would say, 'Marty! You're not thinking forth dimensionally!'
