Mya, the hero from Justice League Europe from back in the day. I remember being shocked to see her.
And was Tasmanian Devil also there (his silhoette) or is my memory going all wacky again?

I can see turning into air for others to breathe or water to drink if it's necessary, but it might not be the most fun thing to do, even for an elemental freak.
But it may just be a matter of the fact that Rex's powers aren't well-defined.
I think they are defined enough so that we know that he can't spontaneously increase his mass and thus produce additional oxygen or water. I assume that some writers do not realize this or ignore it.
I also believe in his original run, he could only turn into elements that exist in the human body. One could infer that all the elements in Rex's body didn't increase, but that they just all collected together. So Rex only has as much iron as is in a human body initially, but he could collect it all together to form a skin around himself. His body is fluid so he would also be able to form other shapes, but again not be able to increase his mass.

Has anyone commented yet on the revelations of the "New Earth" assembly page?
Like, it sure looks as if a Superboy, with a Superdog, is standing in front of a "Welcome to Smallville" sign?
If this page really represents the assembly of the new DC universe, and not just easter eggs to fans, then this seems like MOMENTOUS news. Does anyone know about this?
Oh, and it looks like Wonder Woman is once again present at the formation of the JLA, undoing that stupid 80's "all changes happen NOW" policy.

The question is whether the images on the shards are the bits which are to be put in or broken off of the New Earth continuity.
I hope most of this will be covered in the History of the DCU and the Secret Origins back up features of 52.

It was kinda hard to say. I wasn't sure if the shards represented what was going into the New Earth, or were meant to be broken bits of multiple earths being destroyed.
Of course, there's still one more issue in which the "Super-Manitor" can shake the continuity tree a bit before meeting his end (or becoming the new Superboy of the DCU)...

I say yes. I poured over this page a good 10 minutes the other night and if you look closely at the progression of the planets you see that the shards all form into one of the earlier phases of the earth.
At least that was my take on it.

WOW, IC # 6-- *WHAT* an issue. TONS of great moments.
*sigh*... SPOILERS FOLLOW, of course...
. . . . .
As a Clone-El Superboy fan all along, you can guess how it affected me.
But I think what most startled and bothered me was the out-of-nowhere death of STAR SAPPHIRE. This is the Star Sapphire from the 70s Secret Society of Super-Villains and I really liked her.
If this is paving the way for the crappy Carol Ferriss version to return...
posted
Just out of curiousity, but wasn't Star Sapphire a villain? If so, why was she working alongside the heroes to resurrect the Spectre? Or are the villains working with the heroes now that their Earth is in peril? I realize that Black Adam was working with the heroes at the end, but I don't think of him so much as a villain as I do a demi-god, and therefore subject to his own rules

another great issue !! and i'm truly sorry to see CONNER die !! i think he's really grown as a character during Geoff's run on the 'TEEN TITANS' !!
and he was HOT too !!
do we think he'll return ??
from the recent PODCASTS that i've listened to, the creators have mentioned past DEATHS and how if a character dies, they should stay DEAD, and from DAN's 'DC NATION' pages, it sonds like CONNER will remain dead !!
i'm !! let's hope TIM gets those experiments working .......

It looks like IC #7 will have heroes vs. villains in Metropolis (with some more possible death) and Superboy Prime vs. Supes, Bats, Wondy, GL, and their respective families, as well as J'Onn and Power Girl (and who else knows?!). It looks pretty darn cool!

YOu can also see Hourman, Arsenal and Lady Quark all battling in the Perez cover, so I hope they make it out OK! (Hourman apparently is against Deathstroke of all people...). Here's hoping Lady Quark mercilessly kills Dr. Light!
