Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities The Official Infinite Death Count

I think you're right OM, but hell if I remember! I actually read the Legion/Darkstars/GL crossover too...

"Trinity", right? It wasn't a classic, but I liked it well enough.

I could swear I remember liking the art for the story, but my memory if very vague on it.

I remember actually enjoying Darkstars for a brief period once Donna Troy and John Stewart joined.

The only issue of Darkstars I ever part was the one where the GA Hawkman & Hawkgirl guested. Travis Charest art, if memory serves. It was OK.

I believe so.

add one casualty from the Robin issue (#142? or 143?), a 3-rd rated villain named Gasbag - got killed by OMACs while sacrificed his life to save Junkyard Dog.

in IC #2, big spoiler....not sure if that hero of JLI is the same as present one...look like that we may have two time-travelling hero (no "es", as it is a hint)....so maybe you can add him to the "New Heroes"? Time Paradox really boggles our mind, does n't it?

oh and add four more villains (not sure about one villain since I know that he is immortal....it is possible he may come back alive later - who knows?

DEAD VILLIANS
GEIST (Unknown) (Crushed to death by Koryak after turning into an OMAC. – AQUAMAN #35 - death confirmed AQUAMAN #36)
ROYAL FLUSH GANG (Ace, Queen, Jack, & Ten) (Murdered by the Joker. INFINITE CRISIS #2)
KITE-MAN (Charles "Chuck" Brown) (Joker heard through grapevine that Deatjstroke threw him from Wayne Tower without his glider. INFINITE CRISIS #2)


STATUS UNKNOWN
FISHERMAN (Unknown) (Shot to death? by Detectives Marcus Driver and Josie MacDonald. GOTHAM CENTRAL #37)
KING OF THE ROYAL FLUSH GANG (Murdered by the Joker? INFINITE CRISIS #2)


TRANSFORMED CIVILIANS
LOIS KENT (of Earth-2) (Dying from exposure to the merged Earth. - INFINITE CRISIS #2)


HEROES REBORN/RETURNED
BOOSTER GOLD & SKEETS (of Alternate Future) (Appears on the Moon in search of "his" League and the Blue Beetle's scarab. - INFINITE CRISIS #2)


NEW VILLIANS
BLACKROCK II (Lucia) (Talia gives her the blackrock to kill Superman. - SUPERMAN #223)

I am not sure about King being dead...he's immortal after all. so put him under Status Unknown.

However, you can add KiteMan to the list that Joker heard through the grapevine that Deathstroke killed him after he refused to join the Society.

oh yes forgot one more to add:

Iron of the Metal Men - Unknown Status - he was seen being decaptiated by OMAC...

and there is Gold too. This is the second time Gold is being shown alive (first one was in Identity Crisis, now this.) ???

Bug and Byte were also seen on the screen when Deathstroke was talking to Calculator and Lex Luthor - looking alive. ? ?

Thanks. I read the Kite-Man part but forgot to include it.

you're welcome....and maybe you can *hee hee* add one more to the Unknown Status:

Amethyst and Gemworld.

Spectre is really scary -- rampaging and ravaging so many magical places.

Given that Doc Magnus is looking like a normal human these days, it seems to be that the Metal Men mini from years ago is no longer in continuity.

Or an untold story is yet to be told in which the status quo was re-established. Cloning?

Is that the same "Doc" who used to hang out with the Omega Men?

The same.

Possibly.

Gold could just be a robot now as opposed to a robot with a human's consciousness in it. Or they had a backup or something.

Poor guy, eaten by a Durlan. (Doc that is)

Are these Durlans all scarlet cloaked (like in the Durlan/Phase switch several years ago) or are their true forms something entirely different in the post-Zero Hour scheme of things?

So, given the DoV special spoilers should we add <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Hector Hall, T'Charr (Lord of Chaos) and Terataya (Lord of Order)</span></span> to the list?

I'd wait until the relevant books are actually released.

hmmm, here is the information extracted from Newsarama source:

*snip*
Page 5.

Q: Is Mister Atom dead?

A: Oh sure – as dead as any robotic life form made out of metal when they’re disassembled can be. We’d love to see the ambulance pull up with only a wrench inside…

*snip*
Page 7.

Q: Charred remains of Dr. Polaris?

A: Last issue – big fight. Human Bomb getting naked. We made some tasteless jokes. It was a good time.

Q: So – Black Condor, Phantom Lady and Human Bomb are dead?

A: And strung up on the Washington Monument, so probably.

Q: Ray and Uncle Sam?

A: Missing. We saw that Ray was taken by the Society in issue #1, right after the battle, but Sam was left for dead. Hmmm…Uncle Sam might not have been killed by a Pagan and an alien? Goodbye, Fox News coverage.

*snip*

Page 19.

Q: Who’s fighting the OMACs in the middle panel?

A: The Metal Men – though Gold is/had been/was maybe dead last time they were seen…

*snip*
Page 20.

Q: Wait – who?

A: Booster Gold, hero from the future. 25th century, actually. Yes, he came back years earlier – in our 1986, but God only knows when in the DCU time. In the DCU timeline, Booster’s was pretty despondent, since his best buddy, Blue Beetle was killed in Countdown, and his robot buddy, Skeets was long gone. Last we saw him was in The OMAC Project #6, where he told Fire that he had to “go home.”

Interesting ideA: he jumped forward to the 25th century, got a new suit and loaded up, and then headed back to stop things…

Interesting or sad sidenote: Wilkepedia has a pretty substantial entry on Booster Gold, written by someone who will most likely send hate mail to Dan DiDio and Geoff Johns if Booster dies.

Q: Blue Beetle’s scarab?

A: It’s in El Paso, Texas, as shown at the end of Day of Vengeance. No jokes about a the reception a man wearing a skin tight bodysuit who calls himself “Booster” anything might get when he lands in Texas, please.

Page 21.

Q: Who’s dying now?

A: King from the Royal Flush Gang. But first…

Q: Kite Man?

A: Chalk up another villain who will be missed by seven people. Likewise, if you’re keeping track, cross out Fisherman (an old Aquaman villain) too – he took four in the back in Gotham Central #37 courtesy of Detectives Josie MacDonald and Marcus Driver.

Q: Back to the Joker…

A: Yeah, one of the last times we saw him too, he was getting the absolute be-jeezus beaten out of him by a very pissed off Jason Todd back in Batman #638 (which was just after he’d had the be-jeezus beaten out of him by Hush in Gotham Knights). Yeah, he was back in Detective Comics #809, but you know…there are times when we can’t get over a cold for a month…

Who's the answerer? They're pretty smug about killing charaters that had potential and didn't deserve to be killed for shock value in yet another company-wide crossover that will redefine the previous company-wide crossover.

Maybe the charaters that he/she works hard to create and establish in the interim will become cannon-fodder for Crisis III?

oh sorry to include that - the answerer is Dan DiDio. thanks for reminding me.
