I had a question about Flashpoint: Does Barry remember preboot DC? He said he remembered Flashpoint, but I didn't see him mention the preboot universe.

Has anything happened with the "Darkseid's daughter" plot?

I would respond that was pre-Flashpoint Supergirl, but she was more the daughter of Bruce Wayne than anyone else ...

This is also the answer to the question:

"Where did Kara get the money to afford her 1st apartment?"

This was an absolutely beautiful scene. Longtime readers will recognize the metalanguage at work here. Kara wasn't actually trying to score money for living expenses. At the least, that wasn't her foremost goal here.
What she really wanted was the trust and approval of Bruce, the man who essentially became her father throughout this and later arcs.

that's what I mean lol. That's all we were told, which left things somewhat in the dark for me.

I've heard it said that the only difference between mutants and mutates in Marvel is that the former are born with their powers (even though they might not manifest until puberty or later in life) and the latter have their powers activated by radiation or some other external stimulus.

Does that mean that the likes of Spider-Man, the FF, and the Hulk have X-genes like mutants?

Someone said in versus forum that Surfer has 4 planetbusting feats:

- Vs Ravenous
- Vs Morg
- Vs Korvac

What is the other ?

Im looking for issues with "Young" Victor Von Doom.

I found in the mini Books of Doom, FF 581-582 (the arc with Nathaniel Richards, not sure if the issues are those) and the recent issue FF 09.

There are other issues with Doom in university (or pré-university) or in his training with monks ?

If you simply mean feats that are on that level of energy he would have a ton, way more than 4. If you mean actually destroying planet(s), the only other one I can think of was in either Infinity War or Infinity Crusade (forget which one) where he busted Counter-Earth's moon. Not sure if that counts though, it was the size of a small planet.

He was vastly amped there and nearly died doing so.

More or less, yeah.

Although to be precise, the progeny of mutants are far more likely to possess the X-Gene than that of mutates, even if the mutates do end up reproducing superpowered individuals.

An interesting example of this would be why Franklin has an X-Gene( and is also the only mutant whose powers developed at a toddler's age), while Val does not.

Which is what we call a low showing.

I read on another forum somewhere that Tony's net worth is around 3-4 billion USD. I am not sure how that can possibly be true, considering Stark Industries is probably at the top of the mountain in the technology business in the Marvel Universe, and when we factor some of Tony's personal manufacturing feats(like the particle accelerator in AvX) which should indicate a far greater net worth.

Is Tony's net worth really somewhere in the 3-4 billion dollar range, or is it more comparable to that of someone like Bill Gates?

That does seem like an awfully low figure. It's hard to imagine Stark being able to build a single suit of decent armor for that much-- and he's got dozenS of armors in his arsenal.

...It's also hard to imagine people on RL earth having a LOT more money at their disposal than Stark. For some reason I always imagined Stark(much like Bruce Wayne) having funds in the hundredS of billionS-- FAR beyond anyone in the RW at least. /shrug

Forbes Fictional 15 gives a higher estimate, although it's still in the 10 digits.

Wow, I'm very surprised.
