well its been hinted for like ever (like when his mom said, no one will ever forget The Flash and yes they said it with the bold and italics), so its all good.
You won't find a person alive who wasn't disappointed with how that series ended. Waid and Johns made it so consistently good and they crapped on it, with Vandal Savage no less.
he is the last cro-magnon man. he gained super intelligence and immortallity from radiation from a piece of an asteroid that fell to earth. he was the secondary bad guy in DC 1million and was killed in that story arc, so he survives for a long time yet.
according to wizard he might come back as a pseudo bad guy. cuz his main contention was he never got to be a hero, plus he was embroiled in COIE very shortly after he discovered his powers so when he saw con-el masquarading as superboy, and in IC#1 when they were watching them and he was all like why does he just sit there and do nothing....cuz realistically kon is a lazy ass super hero when you think about it
...his inaction cuased SBP to get really jealous, so he went after him and beat his ass nice and proper. as for vandal savage i believe the metorite that gave him his powers was bathd in Oan energy cuz a GL and sombody was battling and crash landed on earth, and vadal actaually killed the thing with his bare hands and it was Ganthert who came and cleaned up after them... or somthing like that
Depends on what version of it. There's about as many versions of it as there is for your favorite DVD movie. [Ultra Superbit Awesome Special Super Collectors Extended Edition!] but if you just want a paperback to read, so you know the story.. 20 bucks, give or take a few. [American money, since thats where I'm from.]
