So this new superhero appearing in 52 called Supernova, supposedly takes over as Metropolis' protector. I've read theories that it's Connor Kent, Superboy Prime, Captain Atom (back from Wildstorm), Breach (that alternate Captain Atom) etc.

Make your predictions on who you think it is...

Kal-L is my guess.

Captain Atom is an interesting guess. Don't see why he'd change his name though. I would have said Kal-L but nova looks rather small in build and Kal-L is rather huge.

Red tornado

Rob Reynolds

The Void

Edited the thread title. Some of us are still trying to NOT find out things about IC until we get the chance to read it.

captain atom makes some sense. the build is similar, and a supernova seems like the ultimate expression of captain atom's power.

Elongated Man

Dr. Light. He found out how good consent is and changed his ways.

Kal-L, perhaps.

Batman...

I just noticed that says "Daily Star" on it.

My guess is the Eradicator for now.

I bet its someone completely new.

why would it say Daily Star.

The Daily Star was where the Golden Age/Earth Two versions of Superman, Lois, Jimmy and those guys worked. Hmm...the plot thickens.... However there a seperate Earth One Daily Star which was a competitor of the Planet from time to time. Wonder if they'll be using the original history of the name as something important for the new character Supernova or whatnot.

Yeah, Ollie Queen worked for the Daily Star for a little bit.

I'm liking that Eradicator guess too. He hasn't been seen since the OMAC incident and protecting Metropolis in Superman's absence is something he would do.

Yeah I'm guessing Eradicator as well, good call.

He sais "Sometimes i think our cause would be best served by a cleansing Supernova."

With Supernova in bold and all. Interesting comment.

Anyways here is a pic of Supernova for anybody who hasn't seen him yet.

Cool Costume. Dude, if it's Doctor Light, and I called it, I'm going to fall over and just start laughing like crazy. It's the most random statement I've ever made.

That pic just makes me more sure of the Eradicator guess.

Kal-L

or maybe its Captain Comet! he's the first mutant in the DC universe and has all kinds of crazy powers.

It evidently isn't Kal-L.

okay so its not Kal-l. just wondering where that is stated. Also maybe its

JEMM SON OF SATURN!!!

Bringing this on back too. My guess for Supernova is Booster Gold. I think he's gonna really have a change heart about what it really means to be a hero and change his outlook and identity.

Shows Booster's goggles which would lead you to think he's dead, but I think its someone he knows is dead and the goggles are there to show he's done with that identity. Just my two cents

Profile and Theories on Supernova.

This weeks 52 seems to sway towards my theory.
It's NOT Connor... Dibny already knows who it is and gives 2 hints.

1st.. It's someone who has taken Superman's mantle when Superman was gone before.

2nd.. In the second clue DEVICE was bolded...and Dibny even mentioned that the powers were basically a red herring.

Eradicator seems the likely candidate.
