Via Warren Ellis comes a picture of the cosmos as it was 13 billion years ago, revealing objects that were probably formed a few hundred million years after the Big Bang (which, by the way, created the Universe, duh).
It is a fascinating look into the past and a welcome addition to Mankind's Pile o' Knowledge. I have a question, though: What was Superman doing there at the dawn of time?
The Spectre I can believe being there because he duked it out with the Anti-Monitor. But Superman? Must be a trick to test our faith in DC comics.

Mister Rorschach says you are obsessed with comics.
ReplyDeleteActually, Superman threw Doomsday back the beginning of time in the first Superman / Doomsday mini-series in the mid-90s. So that's probably what he's up to.
ReplyDeleteWeren't there actually TWO Supermen at the dawn of time fighting the Anti-Monitor?
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I don't remember the Spectre being there at all. Did DC retcon that again?
Superman sure was at the dawn of time!
ReplyDeleteRemember, all the heroes and villains built that huge magneto-electrical accelerator to give him the extra boost he needed to get there.
Remmeber?
