DC's Absolute Power event has certainly not been lacking in terms of big twists and explosive events. Amanda Waller and the rest of the Trinity of Evil have spent the last few months capturing as many metahumans as possible, stealing their powers, and imprisoning them on Gamorra Island. Closer to home, they've also destroyed Superman's Fortress of Solitude, turned his son Jon Kent into a brainwashed cyborg, and – possibly – killed Dreamer.
I say possibly because Dreamer's apparent death in Absolute Power #2 seemed honestly a little ambiguous to me. Having been forced into working for Waller, Nia Nal finally snapped and turned on her, attacking the Braniac Queen and telling Waller to "go f-" before apparently being killed in the explosion that took out the Fortress of Solitude. It was a grand, heroic moment for the character, but the age old rule of pulp storytelling – if you don't see the body, they ain't dead – meant that it was hard to feel like Dreamer was really gone.
