For some reason the countdown doesn't make sense to me. Do I start are Countdown 50, or 1? The cover of Countdown 1(first issue) is Countdown FC 01 The End? So do I start are 1, or 50?

I am guessing it's 50?

You start at #51, then read down to #1.

the tie-ins don't matter, not really anyways. they're just excuses to flesh out what they consider to be some of the more interesting earths...

you're wasting your time, though, tbh. it doesn't really do much to lead in to FC...

Well I wanna read everything that has Prime. I haven't read all his issue(besides the one with monarch)

oh... you could have just said that. 😛

iirc, prime doesn't appear outside the main book, and he's only in the main book for a short time.

Oh! What about the story itself. Is it good?

in a word... no.

It's painfully terrible.

I actually thought it was kind of funny in many areas

Really not as bad as many people make it out to be

But that's a minority opinion

Ok, I've been hearing some things about FC:L3W.

Spoiler:
Such as, the reason Element lad was able to make k-nite that actually WORKED on SBP/SMP (which one is he going by now?) was because the 3-boot legion ( I have no idea which one that is) is actually from SBP's future/earth prime. Hence, it doesn't violate the home universe rule on K-nite. So where did Johns or whoever indicate this? Is there something I missed in L3W? Also, SBP IS THE TRAPPER?! Doesn't that in of itself screw with Legion continuity even more? It does make his mad-on for them plausible though.

As to the identity of the Time Trapper:

The Time Trapper has, as far as I know, been at least five different individuals:

A Controller
Cosmic Boy
Glorith, Mordu’s wife
Lori Morning
The physical embodiment of Entropy

Indeed, the Time Trapper has literally never been the same individual more than once. Personally, the way I see it is that the Time Trapper is a necessary being for the DC Universe: who he actually "is" is less important than his role as the Time Trapper, and when his identity changes, it's sort of a barometer that crazy things are afoot with continuity.

although, I always thought that the metric ton was 1000 kilos, not 100. That would actually be better I suppose.

yup. 1 ton = 1000 kg.

Question:

I'm trying to get a consensus on Mister Sinister's physical strength and durability. i'm not talking about his ability to heal or anything, just trying to gauge how much force would actually be required to knock him down.

Now, i know he's manhandled Sabes and fought Colossus, but he has some off days too.

Any takers?

Nah, just the last John's issue.

Man, that was a really long, impressive run.

I agree, due to the nature of his character his identity can be retconned over and over again and it makes sense due to alternate/altered timelines and such
