Who's Going To Die? (SPECULATION, INNUENDO, and BIG SPOILERS)

[Expletive Deleted]

Split from the Ask Andy thread . . .

Who's Gonna Die!

[NovaScifii]

Yep, that's them.


And lastly, Nova dying is a distinct possibility.

No kidding.

I had high hopes for this series too.... now ya hd to ruin it for me. :mad:
This is the second time you've mentioned killing of Nova. The first time Is in this interview: http://www.silverbulletcomicbooks.com/features/115109319131670.htm
Is this some sort of homage to a little known story written by Jim Shooter? He had ideas of killing off Nova too. :( :mad:

[The Deadpool]

It's a war story. The possibility that the main character will die has to always be there for the story to work.

He doesn't HAVE to die. The possibility just has to be there... Caspische?

According to a recent interview, part of the initial plan seems to have been to kill Nova. The only way this won't happen is if they don't "stick to the plan."

Frankly, this being a "War Story" has little to do with them killing off the "main" character. In a real war any and all individuals have the potential to be killed. It is highly unlikely that there is even a possibility of them killing the Silver Surfer or Galactus for example. Killing off Nova (Rich Rider) is just a plot device they would try to use to further their story and something they believe they can do without upsetting the apple cart too much.:( :mad:

If they kill him off it's not to piss anybody off, at least not intentionally. If they kill him because it furthers the story I really don't see the problem. I'm sure that IF they kill him it will be a meaningful death with consequences. But if they can further the story without killing him then there's nothing to worry about.

Besides there is nothing that says he will be killed. On the contrary I've heard that he will be one of the more crucial players in this. There's more evidence showing that Super-skrull, whom I love after this mini, might die and I'm sure that his possible death will mean something to the story.

EDIT: Oh and what's up with the title of your post? it makes seem like we're asking them to kill Nova.

[Elegance Liberty]

I don't think they'd kill of Kl'rt just yet. But from the looks of things, it does seem like they are, aren't they?

But I wouldn't worry about deaths too much, IMO. It isn't exactly a permanent thing in the MU... unless you're Uncle Ben or Frankie Raye.

[BeastieRunner]

I voted for Quasar since he likes to die so much.

[tjarvis]

Didn't Joey Q just say that there was a possiblity for a new Nova series spinning out of Annihiliation?

Although, I suppose it could be about someone else becoming Nova.

[aniscape]

I voted for Quasar since he likes to die so much.


Hah ha... not funny :evilangry

I think Andy said what he said so that people stop talking about Quasar dying all the time. He mentioned Nova to see what kinda of reatcion we would dish out. I truly feel that at the end and when the smoke clears out we could be looking at a Nova and Quasar series if not more.

[astronato]

I think Quasar and Super Skrull will die. I think Kl'rt's son will eventually take his place as Super Skrull.

I vote for a Quasar reprieve. Nova and Quasar make a helluva team.

[Elegance Liberty]

I think Kl'rt's son will eventually take his place as Super Skrull.

But wasn't his son on the one Z-something planet when the Annihilation Wave hit it? That wouldn't make much sense for his son to take over his father's mantle if both are dead... unless by some magical plot twist his son just so happened to be somewhere else at the time the Wave/Harvester of Sorrows hit.

I gotta hunch he didn't die on that planet.

[The Charlatan]

Guessed Quasar will die, after showing Nova what it takes to be a 'real hero' or somesuch... a noble sacrifice. Super-Skrull has died like a half-dozen times already... Gamora, unlikely, Adam Warlock might coming looking for her and bring to her back to life anyway... Ronan might pass on his title and hammer to Korath (who's pretty expendle himself)... Drax would just come back from the dead again.. Thanos can't die in the first place... they would probably never kill off Surfer... and I serious doubt it will be Nova...

Oh, and at the end they might kill Annihilus! For, y'know, massive genocide and all that. Unlike Thanos, he's not quite cool enough to get away with it.

[Bobster777]

This might be a huge leap, but I can see Galactus dying. It would really change the landscape of the cosmos if someone that powerful died.

[Haunt]

but Quasar seems to be playing 'Obi Wan' to Nova's 'Skywalker.' this doesn't bode well for Quasar.

[drwho]

Who's Gonna Die!


Hey now wasnt there a post up like this one before? I should remember I was given credit for starting it when I didnt. But I agree Quasar is a goner. Also Marvel is bringing back the previous band wearer in Agents of Atlas so Quasar wont be needed. Maybe he will get the bands again. Also reason I don't see them offing Super Skrull is because he is too cool as a villain.

Galactus isn't a 'person'... And neither Galactus nor Surfer have gotten involved in the actual war yet. They're more worried about Aegis and Tenebrous than anything else...

No one else in this mini seems to have totally dodges the executioner's axe... That's one of the things that make a war interesting. The fact that anyone, even the main character, can die. Sometimes not even heroically...

[Jack]

What? No he's not! If anything, he's playing the Luke Skywalker to Nova's Han Solo. The idealistic young man convincing the damaged rogue to fight the good fight.

[Mad Thanos]

Nova getting a series after this is a no brainer. The trick is, who's going to be Nova? While it was stated that Annihilation is Nova's story, it wasn't stated that it is Richard Ryder. So anybody can be the Nova! Even Quasar! He may loose the q-bands but he might gain the bucket! Drax has worn the bucket! Annihilus is looking for the bucket (okay, he's looking for the worldmind but what if he wore the bucket and realized he and the worldmind could be pals?)!Surfer is the only one who is sure to survive as he's on loan from JMS.

Although I believe that one of the characters who deserve to get his title is Thanos. I know his last series was cancelled but sales is not the primary factor it got cancelled. If I remeber correctly, Thanos is doing way better than New Mutants. New Mutants is still getting published as New X-Men and the sales' still the same. Plus, I read somewhere that Joe Q liked New X-Men. What cancelled Thanos is more internal politics but this is not the place to discuss it.

I also like to see more Ronan with the same creative team of Simon Furman and Jorge Lucas.

Aniscape: Awwww, I kid because I love.

Deadpool: Me? Evil? Surely you jest! ;]

[Den]

I've been thinking it was Quasar who was going to die, but I admit all this talk about Rich being a possiblity does have me nervous. I'm a fan of Nova, Rich Rider version, so I'd really hate to see him go.

of course, if any heroes have to die, I hope it is in a heroic fashion.

[Expletive Deleted]

For all the speculation about Super-Skrull and Quasar, you know who's a distinct under-the-radar possibility?

Ronan.

Bear with me, here. I know we've seen him on the covers for the regular ANNIHILATION series, but how do we know that's really Ronan? Ronan doesn't have any actual powers. It's all the suit and the Ultimate Weapon. So, conceivably, it could be any blue Kree on those covers and we wouldn't know the difference.

And there is another blue Kree with superteam experience sitting right there on Goothab Omega. He has some innate superpowers, but most of his abilities are related to the suit he wears. He's a friend of Ronan's, a Kree patriot, and he's had time and energy devoted to him in the RONAN mini-series.

So I'm thinking . . . Korath the Accuser?

EDIT: And someone else posted this theory a week ago. Dang it!

[astronato]

what about Galactus?

[drwho]

Galactus can't die because then Andy would have to bring back Abraxas and he said he wasnt going to. Galactus is tied to Abraxas so if he died the other automaticaly comes to life and tries to destroy the cosmos again.

[Loestal]

Nova getting a series after this is a no brainer. The trick is, who's going to be Nova?


Howard the Duck, ...hey Daffy Duck was a Green Lantern.....

[Expletive Deleted]

Howard the Duck. . . I would seriously buy that in a heartbeat.

[Elegance Liberty]

Howard the Duck as Nova.

Two heroes are dead, I know Super Skrull is one who will the other be Ronan? I hope not I have really enjoyed Ronan in this series. Anyone know who the second hero is?

[Expletive Deleted]

Ronan and Quasar are probably the best bets.

But who knows?

[drwho]

Would phreak be considered a hero? If so the quota would be met.:D

[The Deadpool]

Schmidt implied it'd be people we cared for.

Ronan is in Annihilation 2, so he's safe.

Quasar still seems most likely...

[aniscape]

He also mentioned it might be someone who has not appeared yet... We shall see next week.

[Dussan]

FUCK

It bettter not be Quasar, dammit.

Someone dig up Adam Warlock and kill him. He sucks.

[Mysterio's Helmet]

Eloquently put, Dussan. :eek:

[drwho]

Would love to see Red Shift and Star Dust bite it.

[The Deadpool]

Seeing as how they haven't shown up in any minis but Surfer, and Surfer 4 doesn't show them at all... I'm guessing they're not gonna die within the next two weeks.

[Will.S]

Since Andy said Nova was a distinct possibility, I think Nova will lose in the 4th issue of his mini, probably dies at Annihilus's hands and gets revived by the Novaforce.

So it would be Nova + Super Skrull = 2 dead heroes but with Nova there's a little cheat there. This is just a guess though.

What exactly is the basis of the Nova Force? Where does that fit into the cosmic power hierarchy?

[Expletive Deleted]

Could be wrong, though.

I'm not too sure, maybe nova64 knows the answer to this?

[bd2999]

We know Super Skrull is one, but Nova is not going to die. He is practicly the main character in the ordeal so far. If he is to die it will be in the main series. Quasar is the most likely bet and I have heard a few rumors on the net that confim this. I just think he is the mostl ikely, even though it seems most people dont want him to die so soon.

[nova64]

I'm not too sure, maybe nova64 knows the answer to this?

As far as I know, the actual source of the Nova Force has never been explained.

I do have a theory, though. I think the Nova Force is not only regulated and distributed by the WorldMind but was originally created by the WorldMind, too. Back when the WorldMind was known as the Living Computers, they were actually the living preserved brains of deceased Xandarians. The brains were all linked together in a vast computer system where they shared knowledge, created technological advances, etc. (see Fantastic Four 204-212).

My thinking is that the bio-electrical energy generated by the alien brains was stored in a vast containment system along with powering the Living Computer itself. That energy was the Nova Force. The force itself was distributed to the Nova Corps in rationed amounts by the Living Computers after creating a Nova Matrix in the recipient. The Nova Matrix itself was mentioned in Nova's second series (in issue #1 especially).

In my theory, when the Nova Matrix is formed, the Living Computer/WorldMind decides what form the recipient will become. For the Nova Corps, the various ranks would get a matrix that would hold the rank that the recipient held at that time. If promoted, the matrix would be altered accordingly. For the Syphon Warriors (like Powerhouse) and the Protector, the matrix would have been created differently in order for them to have their different power. That would also be why the Sphinx received different power after he took energy from the Living Computers.

The Nova Force, in theory, could have generated infinitely as long as the living brains existed. However, when Xandar was destroyed by Nebula, the brains were also obliterated. The Nova Force that had been generated and stored was dumped into Garthan Saal who became Supernova. Since the physical brains were gone, the Nova Force was now a limited commodity. The LC survived as a computer with the former living brains' knowledge now surviving as brain patterns in the system and was now called the WorldMind. It seems to be powered by the Nova Force which was returned to the computer system by Saal and Rich in the StarLost Saga in New Warriors #40-#42.

That would explain why it's so important for Rich to not only have the WorldMind but also the Nova Force itself. Since it's now limited and it powers the WM, it's important for Rich to protect both.

Just a theory, though. I'll check those FF issues to see if there's anything in there that might help prove it.

*Update: In FF #206, I found this quote from the Protector as he was about to enter the Living Computers to receive his powers: "Within these cells float the still-functioning brains of all who have ever died on Xandar. Together, they contain all the knowledge we possess. Together, these minds contain power that is unimagined." That power he's talking about could be the Nova Force.

I was thinking of this and just wanted to get some opinions...

Well, things don't look too good for ol' Q... and when/if he bites it who will the Quantum Bands go to?

My theory on this is, Quasar will go out in a blaze of glory while Nova and Drax are fighting for their lives, which in turn leaves Cammi unguarded and possibly vulnerable to attack at the hands (or should I say claws) of the Swarm, this is when the quantum bands fall to the ground in front of Cammi, leaving her the option of death or becoming the new Quasar...

Might be a stupid theory, but I would like to see Cammi get some powers or something and I think it would be a great way to continue the Protector of the Universe with the spin being Quasar being a homeless girl who has an attitude as well as having to try and grow up...

Plus it would be a great example of cosmic irony... that she would have to done the cape and bands of the man she said looked corny and had the worst costume.:D

[Elegance Liberty]

Auuuugh, count me as one of the people who *doesn't* want to see Cammi with the Quantum Bands.

Well, I guess we'll know Quasar's fate in a few hours. I myself won't know until this weekend. Le sigh. D=

[Ivan Isaacs]

Concerning the fate of Quasar:

He's dead as of Nova #4. Meh. Annihilus sucked the life out him.

If your gonna do this then do it right!

1. Mealstrom cuts of hands and waits for Quasar to die to get the bands.

2. Thanos repeats the no hands in Infinty Gauntlet.

3. Ultimatly Nullified in Infinity War.

4. Once Nullified in Oblivions realm "Kid Reaper" Kills him agian (his soul that is)

5. Goes the the white room (Eonverse) which Thanos sends in "Blue Marvel" which totally disinagrates him. Starbrand then kicks in and brings him back to life.

6. Annihilis disintigrates him and sucks his energy into the Cosmic joy toy around his neck.



So if your gonna do it, do it right!


By the way... what do you think Thanos asked Annihilus for? hmm...

good day.

[drwho]

I dont get books till next week. What happends to the Quantum bands?

[Expletive Deleted]

If your gonna do this then do it right!Had I images from INFINITY WAR, the "Blue Marvel" period, ANNIHILATION: NOVA, or the interiors of the "Cosmos In Collision" storyline, I would do so.

Remember though, folks . . . no body!

[drwho]

Kind of sad that a hero can defeat a villian that literally is destroying the whole universe but cant beat someone that is just destroying things in the universe. Marvel will make Quasar it new Jesus character and he will be back before the end of annihilation.

This is Quasar, even a body doesn't count.

I'm sticking with my "It was only a Q-Band construct" theory until proven otherwise, but even then - there's hope.

Who is benefitting from the Annihilation Wave?

Eternity? - No. Sentient Life has the keenest insight into the passage of time. Killing off life weakens him.
Infinity? - No. Like Eternity, space requires appreciation. Not as keenly impacted as Eternity as you can have timeless space.
Oblivion? - Not really. Space is not being destroyed. Everything dying here is accountable to something. No one is craving nothingness as an alternative, they're having life ripped from them forcibly.
Galactus? - No. In fact, he's being threatened.
Death? - Yes. Big winner. BIG BIG winner. We're talking tilting that Cosmic Balance compass winning. Billions dying.


What happens when someone takes a big lead in a multiplayer game? Everyone starts beating down on them. Expectation? Quasar, if dead - if - gets brought back into the game by the higher powers again.

And if you don't buy that, I've got a Starbrand resurrection theory to sell you.
