I think he'll die He became monarch clearly because DC ran out of ideas for him. They tried making him Monarch in '95ish, but because this got leaked, they changed it to hawk, which actually ****ed up continuity. Then in Extreme Justice, another Monarch came around, this time being Captain Atom...Then in Superman/Batman they were just going to let him die when he took the superman/batman robot to destroy the giant kryptonite asteroid...went through wildstrom instead, and then decided breach wouldn't be the revamped Captain Atom, though he was going to be. if you read issue one, sometimes Breach is referred to as Mr. Adam (CA's real name is Nathaniel Adam.) DC's run out of things for the character, it's ashame too. I could write for him, ya know? I have alot of story ideas. The whole "hero to Villain idea's been done to death, and It's pretty obvious, the character will just die
The episode in JLU comes to mind when he was choosing between the League and government so he decided to confront Supes. or something, never watched it all.
lulz @ referring to JLU Cap. In all seriousness though, he's done alot of evil shit, he's destroyed entire planets in Arena, which is rediculously out of character Is there any going back now?
He's to powerful and unstable to be a recurring villain, and he's too immensly powerful to be a hero again. He's probably going to die, since this is the final crisis...
I thought this Monarch was supposed to be a quantum energy clone of Captain Atom, not the real one.
The Monarch/CA controversy has been going on since 1991; it's getting as confusing as Hawkman's true backstory.

I see a new slant on cap coming up...i see a new start for him, or i hope so, i was always a fan of his and hope a good story line comes of it,When the monitor states all life is gone, are we to assume smp and monarch are gone from countdown? any previews or such?
People like that never truley die out he'll come back somewhere somehow in the long distance future at least ala superboy prime and the anti-monitor if not as a black latern.
