[QUOTE=Menocchio] Interesting, the Spec I heard is that Supernova is Booster. The Real Booster, last seen in the OMAC Project mini. [/QUOTE] I support Supernova as Booster, but the more reasonable concept of a remorseful Booster realising Ralph was right and trying to make up for his screwups. ---

[QUOTE=Menocchio] Interesting, the Spec I heard is that Supernova is Booster. The Real Booster, last seen in the OMAC Project mini. The guy we’ve seen since then in Infinite Crisis and 52 is another Booster from an alternate future. You can tell because this Booster’s personality is different from how he was written just previous to all his Crisis jazz. Real Booster apparnetly spent the Crisis drunk in a ditch somewhere, and is now coming back. [/QUOTE] … _twitch_ I hate time travelers. ---

\*\*[Beyond!](http://milehighcomics.com/firstlook/070506/bey1cvr.html) \*\* Kind of a sequel of the old **Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars.** The story makes note that both Spidey and the Wasp went through this thing once before, but they don’t mention that Venom, who is also on board, was there too — or at least half of him was — as the the alien suit that Spidey got out of the “alien symbiote vending machine” when they were on Battleworld. That can’t be coincidence… ---

[QUOTE=CandidGamera] If you fine folks head over to [newsarama.com](http://newsarama.com), they have this gem : [Newsarama](http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/WAcker/Week9/52Wacker09.html) Which avoids major spoilers but has lots of teases for 52. [/QUOTE] Gota love this one: > [@](#): > > 1. Will we see Krypto in 52? > > SW: Great idea. No plans at the moment…though he may be SuperNova. ---

[QUOTE=Krokodil] He’s on the cover of next month’s [Justice League of America #1](http://www.dccomics.com/comics/?cm=5769) as Booster, for what it’s worth. [/QUOTE] Not very much. They’ve said that we won’t be seeing any of the 52 headliners until it’s over. That’s why they chose B-Listers. If we don’t see the Question or Booster Gold for a year, it may be because they died, or it may just be because they’re obscure.
