10)Which villian will destroy an entire country and kill millions in 2006?
A)Brainiac
B)Sinestro
C)Black Atom
D)Vandal Savage

And the article was followed with some sidebars annoucing some big team ups, and a couple new titles schdeuled to come out.

Batman/Detective Comics: A Big Bat shake-up is coming and it's running through both books. Writer: James Robinson, Art: Don Kramer and Andy Clarke.

Blue Beetle: A new ongoing, with the new Blue Beetle, and it's not gonna be Ted Kord. Co-writers: Kieth Giffen and John Rogers, Art: Cully Hammer

Green Lantern: With Johns staying onboard, joined by Ivan Reis at pencils.

Hawgirl: I'm sure everyone knows about this one already.

Superman/Action Comics: Big Status-quo change, threading along in these two books. Co-writters: Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek, Art: Pete Woods

Supergirl: Being taken over by none other than Gred Rucka after Loeb leaves.

Wonder Woman: Hell breaks loose for the Amazon princess. Writer: TBD, Art: Terry Dodson (!!)

Checkmate: New title spinning out of OMAC. Takes a look at the darker side of the DCU. Writer: Greg Rucka Art:Jesus Saiz.

Ion: The spotlight is back on Kyle Rayner, written none other than by the man who created him. Writer: Ron Marz, Art: Greg Tocchini

Shadowpact: From DoV, our favorite new underdog superteam in an new ongoing (WOOT!) Writer: Bill Willingham, Art: ...Bill Willingham!

GL Corps: Keeps up with Gibbons as an ongoing, with Gibbons doing some art, and then joined by Patrick Gleason


Enlighten me...how is this stuff supposed to be leading to a major status quo shake-up? It sounds like DC's using IC to get even darker than ever before, and it's already pitch-black. Superman either losing his powers or becoming a criminal or whatever else they've got in mind...is DC getting stupider?

It really does feel like the Gore Age is upon us....

I don't know the answers, but From what little I know, here is how I would answer these questions today, these answers may changes later.

1) Which one of these heroines will give birth in '06?
A)Wonder Woman
B)Power Girl
C) Catwoman
D) Oracle

I have no clue, but it must be  C or D

2)Which one of these heroes will be stripped of their powers?
A)Superman
B)Wonder Woman
C)Supergirl
D) Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

Got to be Wonder Woman since Wonder Girl/DT is taking over her book, at least that's the rumor.


3)Who wll become Mayor of a crime-riddled city??
A)Wally West/Flash
B)Dick Grayson/Nightwing
C)Bruce Wayne/Batman
D)Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Nightwing, got to be Grayson.


4)Who will have Amnesia and become unable to tell friend from for??
A)Martian Manhunter
B)Aquaman
C)The Atom
D)Elongated Man


I would guess Martian Manhunter


5)Who will take on the mantle as the most powerful hero in the DCU??
A)Booster Gold
B)Animal Man
C)Kyle Rayner/Green Lantern
D)Earth-2 Superman

Earth-2 Superman, unless he dies, then maybe Animal Man?!?


6)Which hero will become a criminal in the eyes of the world??
A)Hal Jordan/Green Lantern
B)Superman
C)The Flash
D)Shazam


Hal Jordan, because he can't catch a break.


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


Wally is suppose to die, so is Conner Kent and Superboy-Prime taking over, I can see Guy dying too since he stinks, so it has to be Dick, as mayor :)


9)Who's about to become the U.S Military's secret weapon?
A)Cyborg
B)Wonder Woman
C)Red Tornado
D)John Stewart/Green Lantern


Red Tornado, being a robot and all.

10)Which villian will destroy an entire country and kill millions in 2006?
A)Brainiac
B)Sinestro
C)Black Atom
D)Vandal Savage

Don't know, but I would guess Brainiac, he has a thing about cities.


Superman/Action Comics: Big Status-quo change, threading along in these two books. Co-writters: Geoff Johns and Kurt Busiek, Art: Pete Woods


Glad to see our pal Kurt Busiek get a chance at Superman, I am looking forward to see what he does with him :)


BTW, I can see Earth-2 Superman replacing the Iron Age Superman in the DC universe, that would be the greatest thing ever, considering that the two books are going back to their Golden Age status name wise and the so-called "Big Status-quo change, threading along in these two books".

IMPO I believe that Didio thinks a good story  is full of angst, darkness, misigony, violence, and no humor.

Didio once said that DC's heroes are too personable.  People are supposed to be scared of Superman or Captain Marvel when they show up.  In his words an average person should be mentally cringing when Supermn shows up. "My god, what is he doing here?  Did I do anything wrong?"

DC is trying to recapture the feel of The Dark Knight Returns.  It is sort of like when DC and Marvel tries to copy manga's feel.  They just look at the surface and not the substance

Johns and Busiek can do a great work on the character... I hope the artists will be good, too.

Kurt Busiek told us he'd be doing DC work again in a month and that was about a month ago or so.

Here's the link to the teaser post page:
http://superman.nu/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1720&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=144

I got my wish!  AND I was right in my suspicion, too! heh heh

(Slightly off-topic: I just glanced at Didio's name and my mind first registered 'Dildo' instead.  Weird.)


Title: Re: WIZARD: IC fallout quiz and creative team changes!
Post by: DoctorZero on November 26, 2005, 08:33:31 PM
These are very hard to tell or figure out.  I do not see Kal-L remaining in the DC Universe after Infinite Crisis.  So any guesswork involving him is probably a diversion by DC.


Title: Re: WIZARD: IC fallout quiz and creative team changes!
Post by: Gangbuster on November 26, 2005, 09:10:06 PM
Here are my guesses, and I'll explain why.

1) Which one of these heroines will give birth in '06?
A)Wonder Woman
B)Power Girl
C) Catwoman
D) Oracle [/quote]
 I think this is a trick question. Power Girl was pregnant in the early 90s, if I remember correctly. The answer must be Catwoman, because Helena Kyle will return and technically she will "have a baby."
Quote
2)Which one of these heroes will be stripped of their powers?
A)Superman
B)Wonder Woman
C)Supergirl
D) Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

Wonder Woman. She killed a guy, so she's not that useful as an ambassador anymore.
Quote
3)Who wll become Mayor of a crime-riddled city??
A)Wally West/Flash
B)Dick Grayson/Nightwing
C)Bruce Wayne/Batman
D)Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Bruce Wayne. All the other Bat-crew have moved on to Bludhaven. He's the only one left in Gotham city. (Coincidentally, what happened to Wally West during that Zero Hour crap?)
Quote
4)Who will have Amnesia and become unable to tell friend from foe??
A)Martian Manhunter
B)Aquaman
C)The Atom
D)Elongated Man

Both MM and Aquaman have telepathic powers, and some "psychic backlash" will give one of them amnesia. MM is currently missing, so I vote for him.
Quote

5)Who will take on the mantle as the most powerful hero in the DCU??
A)Booster Gold
B)Animal Man
C)Kyle Rayner/Green Lantern
D)Earth-2 Superman

Dear God, let it be Kal-L.
Quote

6)Which hero will become a criminal in the eyes of the world??
A)Hal Jordan/Green Lantern
B)Superman
C)The Flash
D)Shazam

A and B already are. Superman made millions of people disappear, and Hal made the universe disappear. Shazam is dead, though Cap Marvel might take on his name to end copyright confusion once and for all. That leaves the Flash, who is fast enough to run from the law.
Quote
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

I can't stand Guy Gardner. But apparently someone can.
Quote

9)Who's about to become the U.S Military's secret weapon?
A)Cyborg
B)Wonder Woman
C)Red Tornado
D)John Stewart/Green Lantern

Black Lightning was a govt. shill during Luthor's presidency, like Amanda Walker. Since black people are bad in the world of DC, I vote John Stewart.
Quote

10)Which villian will destroy an entire country and kill millions in 2006?
A)Brainiac
B)Sinestro
C)Black Atom
D)Vandal Savage

Black Adam, since he's in charge of a country. Then again, that says "Black Atom," so it could be a trick to choose the obvious. I say Sinestro.

Like the rest of you, my money's on Catwoman.  But whoever it is, five will get you ten the kid will quickly fade into the background and within two years time be ret-conned out of existence.

Quote
2)Which one of these heroes will be stripped of their powers?


Gotta be Wonder Woman.  Everyone's cheesed off at her killing Max Lord, so if she survives the Crisis at all, Diana will be de-powered and probably replaced.  Yes, AGAIN!  This is DC we're talking about.

Quote
3)Who wll become Mayor of a crime-riddled city??


It'd be a blast to see Oliver Queen with a political post.  If nothing else, it'd force this eternally strident liberal to put his money where his mouth is and create some real solutions to the world's troubles.

However, I'm betting it'll be Bruce Wayne.  Everyone seems to know that Dick will replace him as Batman, and frankly giving Bruce the Mayor's job is a lot better way to make that happen than the other two speculations I've heard: that he'll die or be put in Arkham.  

Anyway, who are Wally or Dick to the average citizen?  Why would anyone vote for them?

Quote
4)Who will have Amnesia and become unable to tell friend from for??


Everyone's done this at least once, so it's hard to care.  But for maximum damage, it should be Martian Manhunter.  Not only is he a very dangerous guy to have as a loose cannon, but this scenario would put an end to that "mind link" or whatever that kept the League in synch.

Quote
5)Who will take on the mantle as the most powerful hero in the DCU??


Booster Gold is a hilarious choice!  But I'm going out on a limb and say Kyle Rayner. Though not as Green Lantern...he'll adopt a new identity ala Parallax, only on the side of niceness.

I think E-2 Superman will survive the Crisis, but even if he does, and stays in the DCU, making him the most powerful hero would mean putting the current model a step down from him, and it's hard to picture DC doing that.

HOWEVER...if the younger Superman we all know and loathe were to somehow disappear for a while, that might very well make Kal-L the top dog.  Wouldn't it be neat if E-2 Superman actually took over the two super books for a year or so?! :D

Quote
6)Which hero will become a criminal in the eyes of the world??


I agree it's probably "Shazam."  Just because that's the absolute stupidest idea I've ever heard, and the last 20 years have taught me I can never overestimate the idiocy of DC editorial.

Quote
7)Which one of these heroes is the only one who'll be around after 'Infinite Crisis'?


Probably Guy Gardner, cause he's the worst.  Dick will be around, but not as Nightwing.

I have also seen it postulated that the Dick Grayson who takes over as Batman may be the E-2 Dick Grayson.  (Sure he's dead, but so what?)

Quote
9)Who's about to become the U.S Military's secret weapon?


Red Tornado seems the obvious choice.

Quote
10)Which villian will destroy an entire country and kill millions in 2006?


I don't know but I can tell you who won't be reading DC comics in 2006.  Thanks for telegraphing your intentions, DC, so I know not to jump on the bandwagon with those folks hopeful brighter days were ahead.

And who the heck is Black Atom?

Quote
Checkmate: New title spinning out of OMAC. Takes a look at the darker side of the DCU.


Darker than usual?  What is it, 22 full pages of black ink?

Classic japanese hero shows have their own brand of funky science that'd make our Silver Age comics proud. For more on Kamen Rider and other henshin heroes:

Nope, never heard of them, but I loved the Super Inframan movie as a kid, but that wasn't Japanese. But any fan of Ultraman and Kamen Rider should check it out, since if those two had a baby, it would be named Super Inframan.

Who is going to be the most powerful DCU hero? my money is Dick Grayson, I think he going to become the human host for The Spectre, let's face Dicks been going a dark path for a while at least in his own mind and The Spectre went on that recent killing spree in the magic world, seems like both characters could use some personal redemption. This will also clear the way for Tim the current Robin to step up to becoming the new Nightwing, one step closer to taking over the Batman Role.

I appreciate you thinking of me Super Monkey. Thank you. As for explaining what Kamen Rider and some of these other shows are the sites I linked can do a much better job of it than I but I'd be happy to answer any questions I could.  The Japanese approach and history of their own superheroes is quite intresting and I find that in some ways it's actually more alike than unlike our own at the same time it is a extremely unique persepctive. Besides, I don't want to veer the thread to far off topic. Maybe I should start a thread about it in one of the other forums or something.

Anyway, getting back to Infinite Crap. I don't know how much darker it's gonna go. Maybe packets of blood in every issue will be this decades chromium cover. I feel like what they may do is simply apply the Identity Crisis thing to everything else. They'll reveal some dirty secret in the closet of E2S or kill of Superboy Prime in some gorefest, or Lois.

Besides, seems to me from everything we've heard that we will still be stuck with Earth Grimbaby even after aaaaaall of this is over so what's the point really? When we start the story things suck. When it ends things will suck more. Well gee thank you Mr. DiDio.

I'm sure they'll twist everything in the most sinister way possible but as far as I'm concerned E2S is exactly right and I've never wanted a hero to win the day so bad in my life.

But you know, God forbid ameican superhero comis be about characters who are good and true. I wish someone would put up Darwyn Cookes afterword from New Frontier. The man breaks it down so very well.

It's also really confusing because you got Dipity Dan saying the heores are too likable and then you have Mark Waid saying things like "Batmans a dick but we've been told we can change that".

Is there a faction war in DC Comics or do they just like pimping the idea of coming out of the darkness and then squashing it?

Wally West Flash.  Conner will go bye-bye the same as PAD's Linda Danvers has, since he, too, will be replaced.  Hal will stay GL, so Guy will go, and Dick Grayson won't be Nightwing anymore - since he'll be mayor.

I am pretty sure they are suppose to look like bugs, I am sure that Kuuga can explain the whole thing to you :)


I appreciate you thinking of me Super Monkey. Thank you. As for explaining what Kamen Rider and some of these other shows are the sites I linked can do a much better job of it than I but I'd be happy to answer any questions I could.  The Japanese approach and history of their own superheroes is quite intresting and I find that in some ways it's actually more alike than unlike our own at the same time it is a extremely unique persepctive. Besides, I don't want to veer the thread to far off topic. Maybe I should start a thread about it in one of the other forums or something.


Go right ahead in the Superfriends forum here.

A Kryptonian Power Girl having a super-powered baby might be a good idea, but I can't think who the father would be. In fact, do any of these women currently have any sort of intimate relationship with a male?


I think I've heard that once IC is over, the DCU will leap one year forward in time and pick up from there.  So that would explain all kinds of out-of-the-blue changes that might otherwise require some build-up, like a pregnancy. The missing 12 months would give Kara...or any of the others...time to find a beau, get pregnant and bring the child to term, all "off-panel" as it were.  So the father could be someone who's not even invented yet.

And don't forget this is DC, so there's always rape.

The most likely choice would be alex luthor that has been in that hidden world with E-2 Superman, it has the whole Romeo/Julite thing going, familes that have never gotten along.

True enough. The new DC edict: if you can't corrupt em, kill em or gut em, or say they were never as good and true as you thought they were, then (literally)screw em. :(
