Ok, who is he? and why did he steal Quasar's chest symbol?

One theory is that he's Superboy back from the "dead"

Another is that he's Captain Atom - not getting any respect in the old clothes/name?... get a new identity!

Or Lex Luthor - Why give everyone else superpowers and not yourself? what would be better for Lex than "out-heroing" Superman?

(ok... those last two were mine ... )

Obviously, he could be someone completely new.... or the Eradicator (Or anyone) in a different outfit.

The fact that he wears a full face mask seems to lead to the idea that he's a known character (why are there so few "full face mask" good-guy characters?... especially in DC )

Someone talking to him recently, was it Wonder Girl? Was talking to him and when he flew away she sais "Kon." as if she knew exactly who it was.

Captain Atom is already accounted for post Crisis, Battle for Bludhaven he became Monarch, as was originally intended over a decade ago.

Eradicator? No. He would be in Kryptonian garb, definately. It's his job to preserve Kryptonian Heritage. He wouldn't be running around in hiding- he's too forward for that.

It's clearly Lar Gand.

Yeah it was Wondergirl that thought it was him, however, one year later in the Teen Titans series Robin and WW are sill morning Superboy. So I highly doubt it's him.

Ok then.... so why was he wandering around Batman's cave? History buff?

Maybe it's Kal-L. If anybody reads Action Comics the Auctioneer came to Earth to steal some of Earth artifacts and sell them to cosmic bidders he scanned Earth and said there was not two but three Krytonians on Earth. Superman was surprised, he thought there was on him and Supergirl.

I am guessing this Supernova guy is a Kryptonian.

Well tehnically Powergirl is Kryptonian, but meh! Anyways yeah I read that issue as well.

In JSA when Dr.Mid-nite she did scans and she showed she was kryptonian, but then later it didn't and then later showed she was Kryptonian.

Yeah I doubt they were including Power Girl, but does Earth 1 Superman know Powergirl's orgins anyways? as she hung around Earth 2 Superman when she found out and then was captured by Alex. I don't think they talked about it yet.

Superboy Prime did not cause he was from the Mulitiverse also.

I don't think he does, but I do believe your right that the third Kryptonian is someone else. Yeah she did, and then didn't, and then did, and didn't...it worked sometines and other times it didn't. Superman E-2 was immune to E-1 krpyonite as shown when Batman pulled it out on him.

Power Girl is the result of Earth 2 Supergirl getting caught in the new universe, and the universe trying to correct itself around her, to give her a past, but is unable to.

Yep, such as being an Atleantean daughter of Arion was one.

This kind of thing is why a lot of readers prefer Marvel

In 'reality' Supernova is just a re-hash of an old costume Supes wore when he was rendered completely powerless.

Really? can you find a picture?

I think it's Lex Luthor in disguise. He gave other people superpowers...why not himself...?

Yeah I saw the cover as well, and here just scroll down..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova_%28comics%29

Yea I saw old picture of Supernova in a recent Wizard. I think the comic was from the 60's.

I hope it doesn't have anything to do with that

52 #22 showed Lex can't give himself powers and Supernova and Lex came face to face

In Week 22, Luthor also raises the point that Supernova (apparently) has telescopic vision, which Superboy/Kon-El did NOT possess.

I am betting it's Kal-L.

Superman has telescopic vision. Allows him to see vast distances. He also has microscopic vision also. Yep...They afford him the ability to see to the subatomic level, and in one comic, was stated if he squinted he could see he edge of the universe.

Damn! That was a good theory too...

How the hell would he make light energy? Or disenegration rays? Or having a glowy chest?

Also, Supernova's chidding remarks to Booster Gold aren't very Superman-like. He was basically egging him on...

Originally posted by Draco69

It was, and now Lex thinks Supernova is Superman

Watch it be Booster Gold from a different timeline or something just to try to be a real hero.

Or maybe its Earth-20 Superman

I think it's definitely somebody related to the House of El. Can't see DC giving this much attention to any other group.

How about Jor-El? That sounds good to me.

Don't be absurd!

It's obviously Earth-157 Superman!

Wait isnt Krypto Kryptonian?

Yes current Krypto isn't Kryptonian

I still think that it may be the Eradicator....

He's had a bad case of Schizophrenia for a while now and that blow to the back of the head by an Omac couldn't have made it any better.

His powers are definitely within his range as well...and the Eradicator hasn't been accounted for in either OYL or in 52 yet....

Cyborg, Superboy, Steel, and Superman? Check.....Eradicator...Mysteriously MIA...hmmm....

What

How can Krypto not be from Krypton

I still kind of think its Booster from another timeline or Waverider.

Nah , Waverider is still hanging out with that bunch of losers who patrol the time-stream.

Yeah but he is obviously older and those who have read this comic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titans_Tomorrow#.22We.27re_freakin.27_bad_guys.21.22

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kon-El#Future_powers

Knows that Kon-El older would have all of Supermans powers and telekenesis

Because he is the dog of f*cking Superman.

He doesn't need to make sense.
