HIC rumors

How likely are these rumors to come true?

SPOILERS and potential spoilers AHEAD


I don't recall all of them, I mainly remember the Wally West ones that all seem like they can be linked with each other.

  • BC reported that Wally was going to be the killer that ran through the halls shooting up the place. 
  • There were other reports of him ending up in SS.
  •  Zoom did the killings dressed as Wally. 
  • As well as a possible Harley romance for Wally.

Despite Wally seeming dead the belief that he's still alive is going strong possibly because of these rumors. It's also somewhat odd that such a major death didn't warrant a confessional page. Wally is in Sanctuary due to emotional stress after failing to get his kids back. He didn't display any hints of going over the edge to the point he'd murder other heroes he was just over working himself.

Zoom recently dubbed himself Flash claiming he'd be a better hero than Barry or Wally. I'm not sure how that would work with him slaughtering heroes that were being treated. Maybe if he was trying to push Wally but he seems to have given that up. Even if he didn't Wally can't learn if he's dead.

Harley did randomly grab Wally's rear in the TT Special and he had no real reaction to it. I don't know what would make them a couple from that.

Could Wally be at two places at once? Technically he could in theory if he was able to copy Godspeed' ability but there's still a dead Wally. Unless he's not dead I can't fathom how the killer angle would work. Who's the third suspect the ad talks about? Harley and Booster are two.

There's also a theory going around that Roy was killed fighting "Wally."

  • Nightwing and Starfire have sex at Roy's funeral which leads to her getting pregnant.

...I'm not sure how this one could happen. Besides the awkwardness of the act in such a location the timing is very odd in another way. The Nightwing/Batgirl romance was being explored in their titles and Dick currently has brain damage so he won't remember his life. He has thought a lot about Kori according to Meg in Titans and is embracing Kori on the HIC cover. If the sex happened it would either be Dick cheating on Babs or an amnesiac Dick. I also doubt DC would make Dick a dad.

As for Kori...isn't she in space now?

  • Ray Palmer and Kyle Rayner die. Kyle dies later in the series.


This one seems to be fake although the Kyle part is still possible. Kyle did show up on an upcoming variant for Titans leading many to believe he's taking over Nightwings' spot. Like many of these I don't think it's really believable.

  1. Another rumor is Ted's gonna die again. Clayton is doing the art for a Titan issue and he drew Kyle so that rumor could be possible but HIC has 9 issues so no one is safe until the end.

  2. I heard the Ted rumor too. I'm not really worried about some characters yet. I'm not thrilled with what we already got. I think I heard two issues were the previous one shot tie ins that they decided to fold into the main story. I think there was a Harley/Ivy issue planned.
