Wow, scarey capital letters on DEAD and DEATH there. That must PROVE that you're RIGHT and I'm WRONG.
Pol would not have to forgive Rokk because Pol basically committed suicide and Rokk wasn't there to stop him anyway.
What's really happening is Rokk is punishing himself with survivor guilt, which makes him feel like he can't be forgiven.

Man, you're stingier than Mrs. Krinn on the forgiveness.
Lighten up. This is a comic book. Save your venom for something more vemon-worthy.
Just as Rokk's mother's "voice" prevented him from murdering her killers, it is now making him feel responsible for his brother's death. Is that such a stretch?

What? He's got a conscience, honors his mother's memory, and feels responsible for his little brother and that makes him a nutjob?
Have you even met Cosmic Boy? Of COURSE he feels responsible. Of COURSE he blames himself. Of COURSE he feels guilty.

Why is that? Some people do believe in an afterlife you know. We've seen Ferro Lad's ghost and Lyle's ghost is off having an affair with that Myla ghost in that other dimension. Ultra Boy married Tinya's ghost in the reboot. There are other ghosts in the DCU, such as Deadman. Why can't Mrs. Krinn be one of them?

Sorry, man, but you are starting to come across as a hater. This is a cool place. Leave the hate to the DC boards. Its okay to disagree or even dislike, but there are ways to state that without coming across as bitter or a zealot. See my post above and then continue here.... I don't hate Mr. Levitz. I don't Love Mr. Levitz. I don't Like or Dislike Mr. Levitz. I do not know Mr. Levitz and could care less what kind of person he is or isn't (had this dicussion before and am really tired of it so I hope this ends any confussion on where I stand). I am only interested in the writing and if I think it is bad (or even just mediochre) I will say so. If I use the writer's name, it is only because it has been publicized enough that I happen know it. If I mention any facts/rummors about the writer, again it is only because so many other people have been talking about it that the name stuck. In a few instances when there were contradictions, I pulled out the older book to see if it was the same writer. Contradicting another writer is one thing, contradicting yourself is another and in my oppinion much worse because I do think that no matter how many different books you work with you should have a basic knowledge of the history of any given book you are currently working on and should take the time to check your 'facts' if you are not 100% sure of them. As for the DC boards and 'haters', the biggest Haters there are the Mods and DC themselves. I called them on their practice of routinely deleting any post that had 'Gay' in it reguardless of the content of the posts. Not only was I banned and my IP blocked, but the IP's of 2 relatives that I had posted from once each previous to my banning were also blocked and their accounts banned. even my work IP has been blocked. So please do not talk to me about 'Haters' when you haven't the slightest experience of what a real 'hater' is.[/b][b] Well kid, its like this. I've been around a long time. And I've watched the (I'll be generous here) passionate like you come and go. You are absolutely right in your convictions... in your mind. Everyone else is wrong and you are the lone gunman that has the courage to stand up to black bart when the town chickens out. And thats juvenile. Ya see, part of being a society, a group, is not following the herd mentality, but being adult enough to say what needs to be said in a constructive manner, showing respect to those that have earned it, and realizing that others just aren't as perfect as you are and that they make mistakes. You think Levitz is the first to make a mistake, even one based on something he has written in the past? Sorry, 'taint. Even the greatest of literary writers, the holy Wiggle Stick With A Pointed End himself had mistakes. And sometimes, things just change and adapt as time goes on. Piers Anthony wrote the Xanth books, I loved them as a teenager and on into my young adult years. And yet, after twenty some books, mistakes crept in. Marvel had their infamous "No Prize". And lemme tell ya, I've been involved in battle on the DC boards that make you little banning seem like a gnat fart in a hurricane. Go ask about the name rickshaw1 on the firestorm boards. So, maybe, just maybe, I might have some knowledge of that on which I speak. I will say this, in the past, people that have followed the path you are heading down here became highly dissatisfied with their experience here, and made it a place where others weren't happy as well. It did not end nicely at the end of that path. There are ways to make a point nicely, and then there are ways to make a point that leave a bad taste in people's mouths. As one of the few conservatives here, I spark things off on occasion, but I always try to remember that this isn't just a place I visit, It's a place I call cyberhome. And I try not to crap on my sofa, dig? No one is saying for you to shut up. They are saying you are becoming offensive and nasty in some places, and need to pull your horns in enough to make your point without the nastyness. Now, you can be offended at this and reply nasty, or leave in a huff, or a myriad of other options that are unpleasant, or you can take a day, think about things and realize, no one here has said shut up. They have asked for a bit more civility towards not only the creators that come here, but in a reflected manner, to the people that visit here. Your choice, but just remember, you don't control who posts here, the mods do. This ain't my forum, but by now I would have asked you to show a little more respect. If not...
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Edited again. Mostly for Supergirl Annual #2, also mentioned that the Legion vote shows a membership slightly different from #4 (Chameleon Girl in, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad out).

I haven't read the story yet, but if they are saying the KK in Countdown was a duplicate from a parrellel world, I wonder if it's possible the KK in Countdown was the KK from the threeboot as he was pulled away in some mysterious fashion (with Luornu) and never seen again.

For that matter, that could also explain Luornu's sudden power upgrade...

I don't have Countdown. Do you have quotes and issue numbers?

I don't remember the issue number or the exact quote. It was a scene between Val and Lu. If someone else remembers that would be great because I disliked 'Countdown' immensely and probably won't go to the trouble of reading through it again just to find that one scene.

I somewhat added Karate Kid (also combining the two places he was mentioned) and the order of Superboy/Supergirl question.
I suspect the list is in its more or less final state after Supergirl Annual 2, barring another Supergirl story.
