Who Was Who Is Who #21

So for want of anything better to write about on a Monday, I'm going to go through all my copies of Who's Who and see if I can predict who will make it over to the new DCU by the end of 2012, who might make it and who hasn't got an Iron Major's chance.

ICICLE - the Icicle's son was one of the main villains during the last but one run of the Justice Society so it wouldn't surprise me to see either the original or the son return in the pages of Earth-2 before the end of the year. Chalk him up as a possible.

Friday Night Fights - Too Young To Fight?

Fun comics are too few and far between these days - Blue Beetle's due to finish in a couple of months, The All New Atom's already gone so all my hopes are currently riding on Booster Gold.

A few years back, though, things were different as Young Justice still made me laugh on a monthly basis. How the team - along with a teenaged Lobo thanks to the whole Sins of Youth event - ended up on New Genesis is a story I won't go into but suffice to say they bumped into the Forever People who, in turn, transformed into the Infinity Man . . . with the added bonus of Impulse. Cue a misguided attack by two mating super-cycles bonded into one Transformer like robot (don't ask) and what's a guy to do but stand back and light up.

But as we all know, smoking's no good for you . . .

Lobo was never the quietest guy but a random blast from a pair of mating super-cycles that ruins his cigar is going to do nothing to improve his mood. And being congratulated by an Impulse'd Infinity Man?

Oh yeah - old school KAPOW will follow!

And how do they get off New Genesis? Only Spacebooger knows!
