I'd be somewhat okay with Superboy-Prime somehow but Ozymandias is kinda THE one I'd hope for. It'd be a waste if it wasn't honestly.
Much like I'm all but certain Rorschach is The Trinity of Sin Question.

Agreed.
Personally at this point I'm starting to lose interest in who he is. Knowing that we have over a year or more to wait for his identity to be revealed. Just make it Ozymandias and get it over with. Like others have said, he's probably framing Dr. Manhattan just like he did in Watchmen. DC seems pretty set on this whole thing so I can't see them pulling a Monarch and switching his identity at the last second.
He's Ozymandias. Johns included the kicker hint in the Superman run (which was admittedly clever and well-placed) when brief sightings of Oz's symbol, with a little research, proved to be nearly identical to Veidt's Nostalgia fragrance in Watchmen.
At this point I'd only be surprised if*he's revealed to be someone else.

Ooh! I just had a thought. If he's not Ozymandius, I propose a second theory. Mr. Oz seems to be a figure with almost multiversal/omnipotent knowledge. Plus, he's sporting a green hooded robe. So, what if Mr. Oz is really.....
I can't remember if Pariah showed up since Flashpoint. I remember he showed up during Blackest Night, but I think that's the last we saw of him. What if he's come out of the woodwork and is trying to put everything right and return to everyone their memories of their lives going back to the Silver Age?
yeah, your probably right about the backlash. re-reading Rebirth one shot, I think it makes it pretty clear its oz from watchmen,hints,perfume etc.
lol yeah good comparison, and none of those stories suffered from the somewhat predictable reveal either.
yeah I'm with ya
Good Guess zeeguy, and if he's not mr Oz. who knows? he may well show up when the main event gets started.

I hope it's not Ozymandius, despite the obviousness, predictability, and clues. I'm hoping it's someone unexpected like a New God or Captain Atom from Earth-4. Even Booster Gold and tying up his story (what's the update on him anyway? Last thing I remember is from Convergence?) would be cool.
You mean The Question from the Trinity of Sin, right? Not that there was some looming question unanswered from The Trinity of Sin? Anyway, unless I missed something, isn't the Question basically ancient? Well, I suppose it wouldn't matter if Prime Earth is some mini-universe Dr. Manhattan created... Are there any hints or clues that suggest it's Rorschach? Was he more violent, aggressive than the just the usual paranoid Vic Sage? Looks like some stuff I'm reading online is he was a bit more vigilanti-ish and aggressive, like Rorschach...
Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. -- Grant Morrison, 2008
trade-waiting - Ice Cream Man, Monstress
backlog - Blade of the Immortal, Mignolaverse, Promethea, X-Cutioner's Song
Ozymandias, unfortunately.
Or something equally lame like "Pre-Crisis/Post-Crisis/During-Crisis/In Between-Crisis/Post-Zero Hour/Half Time-Flashpoint Lucy Lane".
