True, when looked at in that way. I just mean his death wasn't dumb. Might not of been a big time heroic death, but real life is like that. You're strong and healthy when you wake up, but then go to take a shower, slip on the soap, fall and break your neck and die. Not heroic, more like tragic.

And Barry's back to the land of the living. And that's another debate. Good heroes who die being brought back to life. It happens often.

How do you think Geoff Johns will save Kal-L from being a Black Lantern?

That would involve banjo music, Dan Dido, a private room and for Geoff to willingly squeal like a pig.
This is also my theory on how Bendis keeps his job, just replace Dido with "Joephisto" and Geoff with "Bendis".

I didn't say they were bringing Connor back. Just that they were going to make a new Connor clone. It's war buddy, and they'll take any edge they can get.

There are 3 Brainiac 5s involved. The proper question is what couldn't they do with a single hair.

yep, I remember that, but even with that I try to make hiim heroic in the end.

Perhaps its setting up for DC One Million Remember that Superboy was

3 B5's, and one of them was outsmarted by Batman not too long ago.

A clever conman could outwit Stephen Hawkings or someone similar - doesn't mean the con artist possesses anywhere near the intelligence or store of information.

Who was it written by? That masterhack Jeph Loeb?

Just a couple of "LSH" remarks:

Brainiac 5 (AFAIK in all incarnations) is often written as being so narrowly focused on a problem that he doesn't pay attention to much else.

Sun Boy's death: As long as any LSH story is going to echo the TMK version of Sun Boy as a mopey prat, death is about the only thing good for him. Sun Boy bothers me as a character for a lot of reasons:

1) No version in Heroclix! His absence single-handedly ruins more potential Silver Age lineups than any other un-made Legionnaire.

2) He was often written as practically interchangeable with Lightning Lad (except for the relationship with Saturn Girl), with his major contribution to the Silver Age mythos being he was the first Legionnaire to "go crazy" while in uniform (Supergirl and Red K don't count!)

3) He had one of the few powers that could take out Superboy and Mon-El (Red Sun baby!) yet his "Secret Origin" was about as lame as Bouncing Boy's "boy am I thirsty!" origin. I just don't think writers ever reconciled Sun Boy's raw power without ever having done anything to really merit his powers.

it must exist for sure a heroclix dial that can be use as a dial for Sun Boy.

I think the Human Torch (Fantastic Forces Exp/Vet/LEs) and the regular F4 TA are pretty good stand-in for Sun Boy....just too pricey for my taste.
