Well, my first reaction when Marc Guggenheim said that "this is not Prometheus from Grant Morrison" was "Why would he do that? Especially when the character they are showing seems pretty damn similar, in both looks and spirit?" It definitely seems like a faithful adaptation, being the Reverse-Hero and all that, right?

Well, now that I think about it, he's been hinting that "Prometheus" is someone we know, rather than a new guy in town, this entire time. If he didn't say anything, we would assume that Prometheus's true identity is... whoever he is in the comics (after all, isn't that what ended up being true with both Zooms?) This way, however, we know that his comic book secret identity is irrelevant and can try to think about other candidates.
