The Real Thing

An Atlanta, Georgia based hero.

Powers

The Real Thing is described as 'looming over the city [of Atlanta] and swatting Enelsian ships out of the sky. That would infer he, she or it as being some sort of large monstrous creature.


Speculations, Theories

Since both are Atlanta, Georgia based, the name is no doubt a tongue-in-check reference to one of many of the Coca Cola Company's slogans starting with 1969's "It's the Real Thing."

It's very possible that he is a corporate superhero too. Kurt Busiek notes that we'll likely never see him on panel due to him likely being emblazoned with all kinds of trademarks of the Coca-Cola company.1
