For the record, I got the answer correctly earlier in the thread but told Edie to not count it in a PM because I stumbled on it so clumsily. First of all I had never heard of the "Pentateuch" before, so I looked that up. Then, I just typed in "Deuteronomy" on Wikipedia, and "Duck" popped up on the scroll-down. A click revealed an article on Donald's nephews and listed Dewey's full name. (For some reason I can't explain, I immediately gravitated to Deuteronomy over Leviticus. Maybe somewhere in the bowels of my subconscious I'd heard Dewey's full name at some point--no idea!)
There's no rule that I've seen about using these methods to get an answer here, but it just seemed such a waste of a perfectly good question, especially when I had no inclination whatsoever from the start. I often use Wikipedia for questions here, but only to fact-check certain guesses I've had, for example to make sure Character-X debuted in the '40s and such.
I'm glad Edie got the mileage he deserved out of the question...and I look forward to whatever puzzle Miner throws at us!

Wow, I thought for sure it was some scientist character named "Numbers" (like "Big Words" from the Newsboy Legion) but had no idea where I might find him.

One of the reasons I excluded nicknames is because I was sure there would be a character who goes by "Numbers", even though I couldn't think of any.

The legend himself.
Did it in Strange Adventures #10. He had one attempt to find the one white ball in a jar otherwise filled with black ones, so he used his ability to feel colors physically. As you do.

Okay, here's a decent question that continues the Vertigo theme a bit:
In the Vertigo series Sandman Mystery Theatre, Wesley Dodds encountered several other Golden Age heroes throughout the series either in or out of costume. Among the ones to appear were future fellow JSAers Starman, Hourman, Wildcat (as Ted Grant), Spectre (as Jim Corrigan) and Doctor Mid-Nite (as Charles McNider).
Name the two other Golden Age costumed heroes who appeared during the course of the series. (Please, no internet research of the series itself or thumbing through the actual issues in the spirit of the game!)
