52/OYL: Questions and Answers

[jonsnow]

Ok I cannot find the thread from a while back with a list of like 10 things, multiple choice, from DC that would occur during 52 or OYL. Now that OYL has gone through two months I was hoping to go back through, see what questions we know the answers to and which we are speculating on. Anyone remember that list?

[Adam Chapman]

1. Which one of these heroines will give birth in '06?
a. Wonder Woman b. Power Girl c. Catwoman d. Oracle

C, Catwoman

2. Which one of these heroes will be stripped of their powers?
a. Superman b. Wonder Woman c. Supergirl d. Hal Jordan

A, Superman- although that being said we still don't know where or what Wonder Woman is doing

3. Who will become mayor of their crime-riddled city?
a. Wally West b. Dick Grayson c. Bruce Wayne d. Oliver Queen

D, Oliver Queen

4. Who will have amnesia and become unable to tell friend from foe?
a. Martian Manhunter b. Aquaman c. The Atom d. Elongated Man

Um... I'm actually not sure- is this Aquaman? We haven't seen Atom, Elongated Man or Martian Manhunter OYL yet

5. Who will take the mantle as the most powerful hero in the DCU?
a. Booster Gold b. Animal Man c. Kyle Rayner d. Earth-2 Superman

Looks like C, Kyle Rayner, no?

6. Which hero will become a criminal in the eyes of the world?
a. Hal Jordan b. Superman c. The Flash d. Captain Marvel

A, Hal Jordan- for his crossing international borders to do his job as GL

7. Which one of these heroes is the only one who'll be around after Infinite Crisis?
a. Wally West/Flash b. Conner Kent/Superboy c. Guy Gardner/Green Lantern d. Dick Grayson/Nightwing

Um... actually not sure if there's only one answer, we've seen Guy Gardner in Blue Beetle (but I'm not sure of the timeline there, I haven't actually read it). Dick Grayson is Nightwing but fighting over the mantle with Jason Todd... Obviously it's not Connor as he's busy being dead, and Wally hasn't appeared yet, and may appear in Flash, who knows for sure

9. Who's about to become the U.S. military's secret weapon?
a. Cyborg b. Wonder Woman c. Red Tornado d. Green Lantern/John Stewart

Has this actually been answered?

10. Which villain will destroy an entire nation and kill millions in 2006?
a. Brainiac b. Sinestro c. Black Adam d. Vandal Savage

Again, has this been answered?

[Jim Wright]

I thought that Gardner in Blue Beetle was part of the OYL time frame, although that has been confusing...and maybe he won't be around in the sense that he'll be in outer space with the GLC?

Connor as of now seems like he's dead, although I have to admit since they tossed in the real name/hero name deal, Connor could just no longer be Superboy. Same with Wally.

Dick seems like the sure bet.


There's big hints that the mystic helping the new Aquaman may be the old Aquaman.

Not sure about the secret weapon or the killer of millions.

Thanks dude. I was hoping someone would know what I was talking about. Good answer on #6, I did not think of that...I thought someone would do something really evil and vile. #7 I think the answer is Guy, because it says after IC, not OYL, and I am pretty sure Dick took a sabbatical and Jay is the only Flash as of now. #9 and #10 I also don't know on. As for #4, not sure either. I liked Aquaman, but not enough to keep it on the list, needed space/money for titles I was more impressed with/wanted to check out.

You're completely right about that...good call..

I think I remember hearing that #9 is going to be the Red Tornado. Didn't they reveal it in a preview for Brave New World or something. I can't remember.

Really? Sounds cool. Any chance you remember your source?

[Blake Petit]

The timeline confusion in Blue Beetle is all cleared up in issue #2, if you haven't checked it out yet.

[RadioCleve]

Jonsnow,
In the preview pages for Brave New World, there is a government lab or something that shows Red Tornado's head, at least. From what I can remember, which is hardly anything these days.

Regardless, I'd look up those preview pages.

Speaking of, when does BNW come out?

Here is a link to the preview for the Brave New World which comes out June 28. It isn't in the preview pages what I'm referring too but Radiocleve you described exactly what I was remembering in my head. I just can't remember where I saw it.

So what's BNW have to do with 52? Some sort of tie-in I'm gonna have to buy?

[T. Paul Stiles]

Don't worry. Just checke dout the lkink and it answered all my questions :)

[RadioCleve]

bugsy,

I'm glad we're not all halucinating! :) (If we all are, this is very creepy.)

Not really, Brave New World is going to be a one-shot that sets the stage for eight new series (one ongoing, the rest miniseries) that are going to reintroduce or redefine some DCU classics. And it's an 80-pager for just a buck, like Countdown was. Worth the price, I think.

Hey for a buck? Definitely won't miss out.
