ParticipantPicked up my comics today. I glanced at the new arrivals shelf and saw the novelization of DC's Infinite Crisis. Flipping through the pages I read, that Rampage buys it: She's zapped by Superboy Prime (AKA Super Plot Device) while she's battling Baron Blitzkrieg. I don't recall this scene in the actual comic and Rampage isn't listed among the official "dead" superheroes (but Baron Blitzkrieg is), but I wonder if the novel is supposed to be in continuity or not. Any comic/fmg fanboys who might confirm this?

ParticipantTHAT BATTER not be TRUE. I'm already pissed that they killed off Blue Beatle and Rocket Red! If they would have killed off PG I would have boycoted DC comics being that those were my three favorite characters.

ParticipantBooster Gold too.
And now Skeets is some kind of murdering destroyer of the future.

ParticipantThe DCU's been dead to me for months. I say get rid of 99.9% of it* and make the Timmverse the new Main DCU.
*Of course, we'd keep the Comics Shade. 'Cause he kicks ass.

ParticipantThe actual comic series is canon, not the novelization. If you didn't see her buy it in IC, she's still around. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean you will see you her anytime soon.
Not sad to see Booster Gold go but, at least he died a hero.
DC never really knew how to handle Blue Beetle so, they turned him into comic relief.

… Huh?
How does going insane with jealousy and then doing a stupid kamikaze stunt to look like a hero make him a hero? I was disappointed because he died like an idiot.
I thought Blue Beetle died a hero, he got a good death.
Booster… not so much.
And we can now look forward to Darth Psycho-Skeets, the Anti-Monitor's mentor. 🙁

What? Died a hero? Max Lord shot him through the head. Remind me how that's dying a hero?
I haven't been happy with DCU for a long time. At least, I can say with 52, the awesomeness that is The Question is at least making SOMETHING read-worthy.
As for Skeets… wouldn't imprisoning BG's ancestor send Skeets back to the future? Damn time travelling paradoxes…

I'm wondering if, instead of that guy being BG's ancestor, that guy is Booster Gold, and Skeets did what he did because he was supposed to?

I know Wikipedia isn't exactly a perfect source, but I don't remember seeing Rampage bite it either, and she's not listed on the dead/uncomfirmed/unknown/missing lists, so I'd assume she's still alive.
Unless they've changed that.
September 24, 2006 at 4:58 am #40151ParticipantWhat? Died a hero? Max Lord shot him through the head. Remind me how that's dying a hero?
Because Blue Beetle is a third-tier superhero whom everyone thought was a joke and had little respect for him besides a professional courtesy of him being a Justice Leaguer.
Despite no help from anyone, and no one taking him seriously, Blue Beetle managed to unravel a conspiracy, track it all the way back to the main headquarters of the conspiracy's perpetrator's and deduce the purpose of their organisation.
On his own.
And when he's faced with certain death, with no chance for escape, he's offered to join the conspiracy.
He turns them down.
I think that's a hero's death. 🙂
