Altering reality
DC heroes see him from the sky. This is also the event ascended wW saw in the following comic.
And then we have the scene GS sticks to as conclusion of the battle and a victory for DK.
He is using this scene to say prime is dead . But next page has prime reading about it. This means that prime is alive and well after in his universe after the events of this fight.
How does GS explain this? He says that prime is in the afterlife lmao. Let’s look at the next page.
if you read top panel, it’s like he’s answering GS directly lol smh says no it’s not the afterlife, he really is home.
See even the comic is shutting down GS’s arguments. Lol point blank saying no it’s not the afterlife he really is home. GS just got owned by prime himself. 😂
Thanks to Qwertys submission of some actual conclusive on panel evidence, this post can be revisited and I can now interpret the scene differently.
SBPs reality altering punch was activated randomly (by some as yet to be revealed trigger) and he realises that when he strikes DKs creations he can alter reality somehow and subvert the evil archetypes for good.
Still not knowing how this ability works, he wonders if killing DK would result in this effect occurring on a wider scale affecting all of the 52 planets DK had created.
He attacks DK resulting in temporary subversions of the evil for good
However DK retreats to gain his bearing after the initial attack and the evil dominates again.
SBP makes the ultimate sacrifice and throws his all behind one final attack spoiling Darkest Knights plans whilst SBP appears to be dead and Cybord Supes saying whoever stopped DK is dead.
We then are presented with a scene from Earth Prime where SBP has reverted to his teenage appearance and wonders if hes dead, he steps outside and comments on how bright everything is (typical light, bright after-life portrayal) and he questions still if its real and then he says no and chooses to believe it is real.
We as readers are left wondering at that point if Superboy Prime is dead and in an after life or if hes unconscious and just dreaming.
That was all in Death Metal Secret Origins.
The issue is then followed up with Death Metal 7 which confirmed a very much lifeless SBP falling short of confirming but giving a clear indication that Superboy Prime is dead.
Interpret how you will. That point has yet to be given any conclusive clarification 🙂
