Supernova IS........



.......Booster Gold. How did I guess?

"Superman being out of the picture is key.....one of two keys if you want to get cute about it."
Ralph Dibny telling Supernova this a few issues of 52 ago was what made me first suspect that Booster was Supernova. After all, there are no heroes that get Superman's goat like Booster Gold, as seen in Dan Jurgen's original Booster Gold ongoing series. The second key, which I didn't catch on to, was the Phantom Zone projector that Rip Hunter and Booster used, which Superman would have recognized in a heartbeat.

"Cassie, you said her name was?"
For Supernova to not know Wonder Girl, he needed to be on the fringe of the DCU.

"I can barely understand you when you're not linear!"
This was the clincher for me. This meant that Supernova wasn't that bright, which certainly matches Booster's description. This also eliminated Ray Palmer as a suspect.

And welcome back, Animal Man! We missed you, even though you were only dead for a week.
