How exactly did Doctor Light drain her anyway? He just absorbed her powers?? It just seemed a bit too easy - Kimi absorbed a sun's power once!
I believe that the Monitor stole his powers and transferred them when he created her. I'm not sure if this is a retcon or the original intent.

I know! Reading through this thread made me sad. I would much rather see stories featuring these characters than to see them killed off. In death, they serve as a short-lived shock moment, but in life they could star in a mini-series or team book or something. They have too much potential to be killed off!
quote:Originally posted by Nightcrawler: A little elaboration about Poison Ivy and Jason Woodrue's inclusion. The story where Pamely falls for Hush (Tommy Elliot) and has him cure her of her plant powers and poisons so they can be together only to wind up dead, leads directly into the following issue, BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHTS #66. In that issue, Deathstoke and Talia of the Society use Hush to save Prometheus from the poisoning he recieved from Jenna (a Poison Ivy redux). They want Prometheus' key, which has the power to unlock time, space, everything. The whole story will continue in JSA CLASSIFIED #5 and is a IC tie-in. Prometheus is said to be in a "stable" condition at the end of issue.
What confuses me is that Jason Woodrue appears to be human and murdered in the story, but shows up as plant-like Floronic Man in JLA. Even though I collect every DCU title, I don't remember a story of them being seperated.
Man, the Gotham Knights writer really annoys me. I'm glad that most other DC writers seem to be ignoring what he does.

Regardless, I was just talking to Keith Giffen about ideas for Doctor Light II. There are fairly interesting plans for her and they're all good.
And Gail Simone also posted that she was planning to use Kimi in BoP. But the plans were pushed back a bit, unfortunately.
But hey, there's a lot of reason to hope now
Yay! I'm glad that Winick didn't kill her off (as it would've been really easy to do). Now, it's possible for her to still be used in stories, and it appears that some writers already have plans for her. Once again: yay!
Updates of my own:
Dead Villains AMOS FORTUNE (Head sliced in half by blast from Virtuoso in VILLANS UNITED #6.) Status Unknown HUMPTY DUMPTY (Humphry Dumpler) (Possibly killed in explosion in VILLAINS UNITED #6.) WEATHER WIZARD (Mark Mardon) (Possibly killed in explosion in VILLAINS UNITED #6.) Transformed Villains BLACKBRIAR THORN (name unknown) (Body destroyed by Spectre in DAY OF VENGEANE #1. Currently in the process of growing a new body in DAY OF VENGEANCE #4.) New Villains MISTER TERRIBLE (name unknown) (Introduced in VILLAINS UNITED #5.) RAGDOLL III (_____ Merkel) (Son of Ragdoll I, first appeared in VILLAINS UNITED #1.) SCANDAL (Scandal Savage) (Daughter of Vandal Savage, introduced in VILLAINS UNITED #1.) VIRTUOSO (name unkowwn) (Introduced in VILLAINS UNITED #5; possesses violin once owned by the Fiddler.)
And I don't think Crime Doctor should be listed as dead. In VU #6, Luthor mentioned that his "A-number-one torturer" was in a coma. I assumed that he was refering to Crime Doctor.

Maybe you can add Copperhead as deceased? That Shadow Thief is kind of getting involved (you mentioned Monocle on the list..) They started all way back to the Identity Crisis..so why not included Copperhead?

add Silver Ghost to the New Villains list too...this is the first time Uncle Sam mentioned him in Infinite Crisis #1 since Post-Crisis. He was last seen in Crisis #9, as if I recalled correctly. If I am wrong, then has to be SSSV #14 or #15 as last seen (more than 25 years!)

Monocle's death is related to Infinite Crisis because he was sent by the Society. Copperhead's death is unrelated to Infinite Crisis (though it's a shame he had to die).

But would that make him a new villain if he's been seen before?
quote:Cheetah I - Priscilla Rich (from Wonder Woman)
The original Cheetah? Where'd she show up?
quote:Vigilante I, Gimmix, Whip II, LIttle Boy Blue, Dan the Dynomite (all in 7 Soldiers) Dr. 13, Ibis, Taia, Timothy Ravenwind (in Zatanna)
Eh... I don't think these relate to Infinite Crisis. Plus, I'd wait until Seven Soldiers is officially over to declair any of them dead. Some of the deaths of Vigilante's team were kinda vague... and Morrison said he'll deal with that event starting in Bulleteer #2.
quote:Harbinger (Superman/Batman)[/qb]
Her death happened way before Infinite Crisis began, but I guess it relates because Donna assumed her role.
quote:Ferrin Colon and Doc (Adam Strange)
And I'm not sure how these deaths relate to Infinite Crisis either. If Infinite Crisis changes brings them back or something, then sure.
quote:Cheetah I - Priscilla Rich (from Wonder Woman)
The original Cheetah? Where'd she show up?
In the Wonder Woman/Flash team-up a few months ago, the Golden Age Cheetah was killed by the current Cheetah (aka the Silver Age cheetah, not the guy cheetah from a few years ago).
This relates to Infinite Crisis, b/c Rucka used it to establish that Wonder Woman is willing to kill if need be. And it also showed the beginning of the Cheetah/Zoom alliance (aka Zoom joining the Society).
Harbinger should count, b/c many of the early plots of Superman/Batman directly relate to the current DCU (and yeah, the Donna Troy thing).
If you count the Adam Strange mini as a lead-in to the Rann/Thanagar War (which it kinda is, and kinda isn't), then Doc and Ferrin Colon count. Also, the very concept of the Darkstars itself was destroyed in that issue, as it was stated somewhere that they were the only ones left.
So far the people who we know most likely will not die are: the Ray, the female Dr. Light. *Gulp*
