In Countdown, the death of lightray .

Who did it?

will there be more new gods deaths in the future?

Is Darkseid behind this?

How will Orion handle the death of his best friend?

Just for future reference, don't have spoilers in the title it will upset people here who havn't read the book yet

We could've also probably talked about this in the Countdown thread, but it's cool.

Darkseid would be the obvious choice, but Supes wasn't sure if the guy who did it went into a boomtube or not so it might be someone else.

Doomsday did it.

They're gonna start writing him right and making him a prominent character again!


...I can dream.

Ahhhh whoops

Ray Palmer did it....

Infinity-Man did it....

Colonel Mustard, in the dining room with a lead pipe...

Where is the respect for Doomsday....

He used to be a threat...once...

He can be again I say.

Metron.

Why? Because it could always be Metron. You never know. sly Fine be that way.

Well i didn't know.

damn non-spoiler users.

Lightray was presume dead after his brutal battle with Kalibak The Cruel. He always returns.

Whoever he fought must have follow the code. If the code was broken then by all means Orion is gonna go holocaust on whoever did it.

Don't we have a Countdown thread already?

What if it was Orion that did it?

And what's the deal with Jimmy starting to show various powers of JLA members?

PreCrisisJimmy had every power ever.

In Kirby's Fourth World there cannot be any outside interfence when gods fight one on one. Meaning that two combatants must face each other without help.

Very unlikely...Lightray is practically Orion's most trusted allied. Both fought the forces of Darkseid in the first invasion to earth in Metropolis.

If it was Orion then this is worse than when Superman fought Darkseid and won.

OK it's pretty obvious that Superman killed him.

Yeah, because covers never lie.

I dunno, I think there's another possibility..... you have to look really close but there seems to be a more obvious choice......

It was clearly JimmyOlsen who killed him . . .


Does this remind anyone else of the first episode of Bleach?

It seems like he found a random person on the verge of death. Then there's lots of light and he starts glowing.

Goddamnit Clor!

You killed another hero!

If anyone misses Lightray he's in Superman #663.

That's what I figured, but it was good to see him alive again.
