The identity of the man (?) behind the mask of Supernova, the mystery hero of DC’s 52, may be a closely guarded secret in the DC Universe, but the official website of the series has no problem telling you who’s wearing the mask: You. Or at least, you if you download the “special” Supernova Hallowe’en Mask.
Admit it: You don’t know whether to laugh at them or congratulate them.

With the whole “Earth Prime” thing going on (Superboy Prime, Maggin!), one tends to wonder if this might be more than it seems.

I haven’t been reading 52. I don’t get it.

How about “shake my head in pity”, which is pretty much every reaction I’ve had to an issue of 52.

I’m totally printing out an Infinity Inc. (non)membership card.

I’ve been reading 52, but I don’t get it either. I’m certainly not shocked. Is this supposed to be Atom Smasher? I’m not a DC junkie so don’t really know why this development is significant.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, guys, but I don’t think this is supposed to be a significant development at all. It’s just a joke. Get it?
Tough crowd today.

What is the identity of the man (?) behind the mask of Supernova?
You. You the Earth Prime resident who downloads, prints and wears this mask. You are the person behind the mask.
That is the closely-guarded DC Universe secret.
You see, they make this mask, and if you wear it, you are the person behind…oh never mind

OMGZ EARTH PRIME! OHNOES!

I was Supernova, but then the guy dressed up as Superboy next to me punched a wall….

“I’m Supernova1″ just does not have the ommph of the “I’m Batman!” line.
Good prank. I still say it will be Ray Palmer.

Ok that was funny.
