I think that all got changed by JLA/Avengers and Syndicate Rules or something.

I actually got the impression that he was a liar. I mean, it'd be funny if some crazy kid decided to pretend to be from a parallel universe for the hell of it. It's also not much different from Miss Martian pretending to be green and Kid Devil pretending to be Blue Devil's sidekick.

Kid Devil was Blue Devil's sidekick
Miss Martian pretends to be green because White Martians have attacked Earth plenty of times
The swapping between CSA Earth and mainstream Earth only happened in the Earth-2 trade. They don't do it anymore; it was established as discontinued in one JLA or JLA Classified arc involving the CSA. Or maybe it was the Superman arc with the superbaby.
Plus, who even knows if it's still around; Ultraman made an interesting appearance in Supergirl during her OYL arc.
I'd surmise that it's the CSA Jason Todd or a Flamebird-esque wannabe, though. Also note that they're dancing around whether Nightwing in Gotham in 52 is Dick or Jason. I think it's Dick and they're just teasing all the theorists.
Accomplished Perfect Physician just made mention of being able to cure cancer with a click of his tongue. I was hoping that was more than just a mention, and he would eventually cross paths with Question.

Is that not the same monastery that Renee and Charlie were at earlier?
Caught the possible plot spoilers for this week's 52 issue. Copied directly from it's post in the DC boards. Remember that it's not 100% confirmed legit till you see it happen in the actual comic.
[spoiler:4aac1b5c1a]Cover has Batwoman on top of a building with a present while Nightwing is leaping backwards towards an ice rink.
The ticker at the bottom reads “Sing-along with Alfred…Batboy meets Batwoman…Spending Christmas with the DCU…â€
The solicitation for WEEK 33: Phil Jimenez and Andy Lanning illustrate a special Christmas issue featuring more on the Batwoman! "I have brought my family here today…to show to you that underneath the powers of gods long dead…we are as human as the rest of you." Plus, The Origin of Two-Face by Waid and Mark Chiarello.
Joe Prado and Tom Derenick are the pencilers. The Origin is for Martian Manhunter by Mark Wade and Tom Mandrake.
Week 33, Day 4
Flash Museum, Central City: Ralph and the Helmet of Fate had used a Gateway Spell to get into the Flash Museum after hours as Ralph is in need of retrieving something that he had donated to the museum.
Fate: Did you find the item you were searching for? Some personal effect, I presume?
Ralph: Nothing you need to worry about. I have it. Let’s roll.
The item in question is the gun that Ralph was going to kill himself with.
Week 33, Day 5
Gotham City, Cathedral Square: Alfred is leading a group of kids in Christmas Carrols down at the Christmas tree in Cathedral Square. Batwoman is looking on from a rooftop after having defeated a jackal like creature and is joined by Nightwing. Nightwing gives Batwoman a present which she is hoping is Mannheim’s address, but alas it is not. Batwoman opens up her present to find that it is “another Batarang†which Nightwing is quick to point out is a real Batarang and not a homemade version as she has been using.
Metropolis: Lex is given news that one of the people that has been given the Everyman formula has slipped into a coma and is rejecting the procedure. Lex tells the tech to fly in the family of the patient and to let them know that they are in Lexcorp’s prayers. Lex then proceeds up to the Infinity Suite. Lex meets up with Infinity Inc and gives them all a present; a Tanahashi which is a quarter million dollar car. The members of Infinity Inc take off to try out their new cars as Lex has also arranged for Fifth Avenue to be closed off so that they can use the street as their own personal drag strip. As the kids quickly leave Mercy voices her dissatisfaction that no one even said thank you to Lex for their car. Lex is handed a folder with his test results for the Everyman Project with the results still coming up the same, that he is not a suitable candidate. The tech, Dr. Laughlin, from before bursts into the room and gives Lex the news that the comatose boy is now accepting the Everyman process.
Dr. Laughtin: some x-factor in his body is spontaneously adapting to the Everyman process! It’s a Christmas miracle.
Lex: That’s wonderful Dr. Laughtin.
Dr. Laughtin: I know. The way he survived…
Lex: Oh not that part. The part where something inside the boy opened the door to the possibility of generic adaptation. Do a full organ harvest and spinal drain on Luis, draft a glowing obituary and have his parents compensated for their tragic loss.
Batwoman’s Apartment: Renee is staring out the window of the apartment when Charlie comes stumbling out of the bedroom. Charlie is talking but makes no sense to Renee as he his bringing up different conversations from his past as he is pretty delirious. Renee helps Charlie back into bed and sees her as whomever he is “talking†to at the time, his father, his wife…Renee goes back into the living room and sits on the couch where she is joined by Kate. Kate brings Renee a cup of hot cider and they talk.
Kate: Some hot cider might make you feel better.
Renee: Only if you added some bourbon to it.
Kate: I didn’t but I can if you like.
Renee: No. Seems that all the problems I had when I started drinking are still there when I stop.
Kate: You gave him peace. You should be glad for that.
Renee: I am. I just wish I could get a little for myself.
The two kiss and the Kate wishes Renee a Merry Christmas.
DCU:
*Ellen Baker is standing outside and blows a kiss at the stars wishing Buddy a Happy Christmas and to come home.
*Clark holds a piece of mistletoe over Lois’ head.
*Firestorm gives Cyborg a wrench for Christmas
* Ollie gets a new arrow.
*Bea (Fire) is on the phone looking sad.
*Guy is making Santa Claus and a menorah with his power ring.
*Red Tornado’s head is in a junk yard.
*The Batcave with covers over everything.
*A pregnant Selina looks at a bunch of cats.
*Hawkgirl, now normal size, is standing without crutches.
*Hal Jordan gets a green tie from his nephews.
*Commissioner Gordon is welcomed back.
*The Steel works is dark.
*The castaway’s ship and the head in space
“That star Alpha Lyrae, Buddy Baker. Vegaâ€
Oddly there is no Lobo and his cycle or Fishy.
Week 33, Day 6 (Christmas)
The Black Marvel Family arrives, with Sobek, at the Kahndaq Embassy for a press conference. The streets are very crowded and the Titans as well as Green Lantern, Flash and Wildcat are present.
Black Adam: I have come here today; I have brought my family here today to show you that underneath the powers of gods long dead we are as human as the rest of you.â€
All three of the BMF say their catch phrase and are shown in their human appearance.
Belle Reve Federal Prison: Amanda Waller and the new Suicide Squad are watching Black Adam on TV. Atom Smasher says that Black Adam has but Waller tells him that they are still going after Black Adam as he is still a terrorist. One of the squad mentions “and now we know Black Adam has a weakness. His entire family doesâ€. A boomerang flies around Waller’s head at which she responds …
Waller: “I heard you were smarter than your father. I still don’t see it.â€
Cap Boomerang JR: You will gorgeous. As soon as the Suicide Squad wish the Black Marvel Family a Happy $#%@ing Holiday.
Suicide Squad is Atom Smasher, Cap Boomerang Jr, Vertigo, Electrocutioner, Plastique, and …Sorry but I don’t recall his name but he is in armor and holding a long axe, he reminds me of the Persuader from LOSH.
NEXT IN 52: A man getting a shot with a syringe with John Henry looking on, Renee with her hand to her face as Charlie is wheeled out on a gurney, Isis getting her butt kicked by…the axe wielding dude.[/spoiler:4aac1b5c1a]
I have to say, given the short amount of time Vic smoked, the way Richard Dragon faked him out by pretending to be handicapped to encourage Q during his own training, and the fact that there's a character walking around who can cure cancer just by clicking his tongue, Vic's odds of beating/not having cancer seem pretty good. But Rucka's desire to write yet another book centered around a sassy, sexy female that don't take no crap from nobody is a powerful force that can't be underestimated.
I would look at the thread itself but I'm sure the sheer mass of "OMG THEY'RE KILLIN THE QUESTION I AM DONE WITH DC 4EVER" comments would make me take a bendy straw, jam it through my eye, and right into my brain.

I would've liked a story about a meta rejected by every team going out and saving Infinity Inc from Luthor or something.
I really just want all of Infinity Inc to die at this point. Not a single one of them doesn't warrant numerous punches to the face and neck region. Even Natasha, who I thought was kind of cool in the few things I'd seen her in, has gotten terribly whiny and bothersome.

Well, Luthor is obviously going to screw them all over, probably to get at Supernova, who isn't really Superman.
Q can't die! He and Montoya have to have a series called Q&A written by Rucka and O'neil with art by Lark!

It's legit. The artist either can't draw a menorah, or during 52, Hannukah is only 6 days long instead of 8. At least he's consistent (with Guy Gardner making an incorrect menorah), so it might be deliberate.
Suicide Squad is Atom Smasher, Cap Boomerang Jr, Vertigo, Electrocutioner, Plastique, and …Sorry but I don’t recall his name but he is in armor and holding a long axe, he reminds me of the Persuader from LOSH.
It is him; Persuader. They added him to modern continuity before Waid's relaunch; not quite sure why or who "Funded" him with that axe, but this is his modern origin.

1 ) Brainiac 13 sends hard light duplicates of the Fatal Five to attack modern Superman.
2 ) Fight is broadcast on TV.
3 ) Some unionizing douche with a personality goes "Yeah, I like him, I wanna do his thing." and dresses up as Persuader and "persuades" a bunch of other union workers to do the same to rail against "the man".
4 ) Douche is thrown in jail.
5 ) Someone in jail (SATANUS? NERON?) just "gives" the douche all the powers of Persuader and an Atomic Axe.
6 ) Douche Persuader goes nuts and starts killing spreee.
7 ) Gets thrown in jail and isn't heard from again.
8 ) Mystery Axe supplier is never revealed. It was probably supposed to be Neron, but looked like the new Prankster, and ended up being retconned into the never-seen-since Mxyzptlk Twins.

Week 34, Day 1 or Week 34, Day 3 (both days are listed as such amongst a three page spread during the same scene)
California, Redwood National Forest: The Suicide Squad - Atom Smasher, Captain Boomerang, Persuader, Count Vertigo, Electrocutioner, and Plastique - are waiting and watching Black Adam and Isis from a distance as they arrive to meet Osiris and Sobek after their first day at Titan’s Tower. Upon meeting up, Osiris tells about touring the Tower, getting his own locker and communicator while Sobek explains about their first adventure; helping “Kid Eternity stop the Keeper’s plans for controlling the dead…â€. Black Adam is still question their speech from last week as he is still being condemned for his actions inside and outside of Kahndaq, while Osiris is happy that it got him into the Titans and that the world will come around once they see what “good we’re going to doâ€. At which time the Suicide Squad jump into action and attack the BMF. ***this is where it reads week 34 day 3; page 3***Atom Smasher grabs Black Adam and tells him that he needs to turn himself in before smashing BA into the ground. Atom Smasher tells BA that “I don’t want to hurt you†to which BA responds “Albert you won’t†and them knocks Atom Smasher out; Atom Smasher’s fall also ends up taking out Captain Boomerang.
Plastique and Electrocutioner cause and explosion that knocks Osiris down, while Persuader takes on Isis. Isis is upset that Persuader’s axe is radioactive and poisoning the trees. She flies in towards Persuader but is thrown off balance by Count Vertigo. This makes Persuader mad as he swings his axe at Vertigo telling him the that “tree hugger is mineâ€. Persuader then cuts into Isis’ left arm and follows that up with a “krank†to the face. Just as he is getting ready for the killing blow Osiris spots what is going on and flies towards them telling Persuader to “LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE†to find that his flight was too fast as Osiris ends up flying through Persuader and cutting him in half. Osiris is shocked and what he just caused and starts crying. Isis sits up, hold her brother and it starts to rain. Black Adam tells the BMF “Let’s go home before anyone else is hurt†and the four of them fly off.
Count Vertigo checks in with Waller wanting to know what they should do. Waller tells Vertigo “That’s all right, Vertigo. I never expected the Suicide Squad to actually bring them in. I got what I really needed. Video feeds were live and recorded. We pushed the Black Marvels and they pushed back. All these super-powered teenagers are the sameâ€.
Week 34, Day 4
Metropolis: Mercy is with the girls of Infinity Inc as they are out shopping and being watched by the Bird of Prey. When Mercy attempts to pay for the clothes with a credit card the card comes up as declined as it was reported stolen. One of the security guards has the three split up because of the paparazzi with the guard taking Natasha down a stair well where they are met by another guard. The guards are then revealed to be Black Canary and John Henry. John says that he wanted to talk to her with out Luthor knowing about it:
Natasha: If this is another warning…
John: Look at me, Nat. Look at my skin.
Natasha: It’s back to normal. Congrats, you found yourself a cure or whatever.
John: No. I didn’t do this. It ended on it’s own.
Natasha: What’s the point?
John: Your friend Blockbuster killed Eliza Harmon, Trajectory. How did a slug like Blockbuster manage to grab someone who could move that fast? How did he move fast enough to snap her neck? You’re a scientist, Nat, that’s what you told me. Just look at the facts…draw your own conclusionsâ€
John leaves and Natasha looks shocked.
Week 34, Day 5
Metropolis: Clark Kent is tied up in a basement and is being shot up with “Gaemytal. It’s as close as modern chemistry can come to synthesizing the atomic structure of Wonder Woman’s lassoâ€. Luthor holds up a picture of Supernova and asks Clark
Lex: Why is the Man of Steel masquerading as Supernova?
Clark: Oh ho, ho, ho…
Lex: We’re quite serious Mr. Kent.
Clark: That’s what makes it funny. Gentlemen, I have no idea who’s under that mask, but the one thing I do know for certain is this: He’s not Superman.
Week 34, Day 7
The panels start to inter twine between Lex and Charlie, so as to not make things confusing I will provide the storyline for Charlie/Question and then Lex. When you get the book you will see why.
Gotham: Charlie is taken to St. Luke’s Hospital because he stopped breathing for three minutes. Charlie is now on a morphine drip to help him with the pain.***oddly Charlie is blonde in the third panel but the second, forth, fifth and sixth he is dark haired***While waiting in Charlie’s hospital room Charlie is weakly singing “Danny Boy†and Renee turns on the TV to show the “S†- Superman’s Symbol - drop from Lexcorp Circle. As the “S†starts to drop Charlie tells Renee “Now you must go away and I, and I must, must, bide…†Renee is looking down while holding Charlie’s hand. The countdown is at two ***no beeps, bells, lights, or flat lines on the monitor are shown***
Metropolis: Kent is still being held at Lexcorp. One of the doctors tells Lex…
Dr.: Neurosensors verify Kent’s not lying, Mr. Luthor. The Daily Planet has been using Kent to get exclusive coverage on Supernova. There’s no better source of information. If he doesn’t know who’s under the mask then…
Lex: Drug Mr. Kent, take him back home, and let him believe that he was interrogated by the Yakuza. He’s of no further use to me.
Dr.: You were so sure…
Lex: And get out.
Lex then goes up to the roof and tells his security that no one follows. As the sky is full of flying Everyman Project heroes, Lex takes out a report from his pocket that shows him to still be negative for the Everyman Project.
Lex: Whoever you are, Supernova, this city isn’t yours. It’s mine and your winning too many hearts. It’s time you failed in the face of a real challenge.
Lex takes a remote out of his pocket, clicks a button and says “zeroâ€.
Next in 52: Look! Up in the sky. (no pictures)

Lex: Whoever you are, Supernova, this city isn’t yours. It’s mine and your winning too many hearts. It’s time you failed in the face of a real challenge.
Lex takes a remote out of his pocket, clicks a button and says “zeroâ€.
Next in 52: Look! Up in the sky. (no pictures)

"Let's kill him"
"...why?"
"Because I'm an idiot"
