DC Comics Relaunch: Which New FLASHPOINT Characters Make The Leap Into The NEW 52?

News, Top Story

Now, some of the DC Comics Relaunch plans are clear and involve some of the more “interesting” choices from Flashpoint.

Project Superman‘s Neil Sinclair becomes Apollo and the lead in Stormwatch. The Secret Seven morph into Justice League Dark. Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown becomes Frankenstein, Agent of Shade.

But what about the rest seen on the splash page from Flashpoint #1? The Elemental Woman will join the Justice League. The others? Will Captain Marvel debut in the new DCU as a new Captain THUNDER?

Or we also have the Outsider and Blackout? The Canterbury Cricket? Brittania from issue #3 of Lois Lane and the Resistance?

Some of these characters could make the leap into their own limited series to be announced in October 2011? Or could they join one of the several team books debuting in September 2011?

Which new Flashpoint characters make the cut into the new DCU? I just can’t imagine DC would profile these characters in Flashpoint and then forget about them in the new DCU.

Any other newbies with potential?
