Okay, you all know the rules... once a question is asked, the first person to get the question right wins the right to ask the next question! And so on...
So, to get started, here's a fairly easy one.
Who are the original members of the New Mutants? Codenames and real names, please. Posted by icefire on :
Sunspot Roberto DaCosta
Mirage Dannielle Moonstar
Wolfsbane Rahne Sinclair
Psyche X'ian Coy Manh
Cannonball Samuel Guthrie
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Excellent! Was Psyche Xi'an's first code-name? I thought it was Karma!
Anyways, your question, Icefire!
(And what's with this "Rejected by Kid Prime" stuff? Don't look at it as a rejection, think of it as a challenge!)
Posted by Future on :
Psyche was actually Danielle Moonstar's first codename! She didn't take the name Mirage until after the Demon Bear arc, I believe. There was a few months where they actually never referred to her by codename, so I'm not exactly sure when the transition was. KP, you're right, Karma was/is Xi'an's codename.
Sorry, I'm just a New Mutants nut and couldn't stand to not get in on this. Please continue with the game, icefire! Posted by icefire on :
In the Squadron Supreme mini The Institute of Evil was brain modified and inducted into the team Can you name the members of the Institute of Evil?????

Now he's "challenged by Kid Prime."
I guess everyone should have things to motivate them.
Drake, I think you're pretty close if not dead-on, but I don't have Squadron Supreme in front of me.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
I can confirm the first six are dead on for the original Institute of Evil. I'm not sure about the others as they were probably in the following TBP's that I don't have.
Posted by icefire on :
you are right take it away. All in good fun KP!!

Oh, I'm not COMPLAINING...

Okay, next question to come in a few hours.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
What book was long ago transcribed by the Elder God Chthon and what is it credited with creating?
Posted by Princess Crujectra on :
Well crap. I know the name of the book, but am not sure what it was credited with creating. I only know a few figures that were featured in storylines with it. Oh well Posted by Kid Prime on :
The Darkhold. It created vampires in the Marvel Universe.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Well met KP! And congrats on passing 800 posts as well! Let us have your best shot!
Posted by Kid Prime on :
What are the full names of Charles Xavier's established past lovers?
Posted by Nightcrawler on :
I'm not sure how many were established but I believe I remember -
Moira MacTaggart Gabrielle Haller Empress Lilandra of the Shi'ar
And I've always suspected that he and Magnus or Eric something-or-other now had experimented. He also had a crush on Jean Grey in the early stories, but it was never played up.
There might be someone in the current stories, but I don't read them, unfortunately. Posted by Kid Prime on :
CLOSE, Nighty! There's one more from the Scott Lobdell years...
Posted by Nightcrawler on :
Now you're just making stuff up.
Hmmm...oh.
Amelia Voght.
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Nighty takes the prize!
Posted by Nightcrawler on :
Ulp! Now I've got to come up with something...
Okay, why were the villagers attacking Kurt (Nightcrawler) Wagner in GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1?
Posted by Future on :
Looked through some Essential X-Men because I knew there was a REASON Kurt was being chased but couldn't remember it. I believe it was after Kurt fulfilled his promise to his foster brother by killing him because he went evil. According to the annual this flashback was in, the townspeople saw him as a demon and believed he was terrorizing people, so they hunted him down until the Professor intervened.

You are correct! Stefan, Kurt's half brother, had started murdering children in Winzeldorf. Nighty accidentally broke his neck trying to stop him. The townspeople discovered Kurt over a very dead Stefan and tried to lynch him, thinking this "demon" was responsible for all of the deaths.
Next question is yours.
Posted by Future on :
Thanks, Crawler. As much as I love all things X-Men, I'll switch to DC for a turn.
In the JLA syncrocity storyline in the early/middle of Morrison's run (JLA #18-#19, I believe), Julian September warped all probability. Which seven JLA members didn't disappear from reality as a result of the breakdown of probability (Although some were eventually changed)? Hint: One of the seven appeared from this catastrophe, but was not a current JLA member at the time.
Posted by Bevis on :
Oooh, I think I know this one.
Atom (not a current member but a key figure in solving the problem) Flash (changed so he wasn't immune to friction, but still there) Green Lantern (changed to a completely different guy but still there) Wonder Woman Plastic Man
Uh... bugger, now I'm stuck. Let's think who *did* vanish. Batman, Huntress, Steel, Aquaman, Big Barda all definately vanished. Erm... that would leave Martian Manhunter, Superman, Zauriel (I think) and Oracle.
OK, so I'm not sure if Oracle counted as a full member or not. And I don't think Martian Manhunter vanished either but I have a feeling Superman did.
OK, so I'm gonna go with Atom, Flash, Green Lantern, Plastic Man, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter and Oracle.
If I were at home I could check coz I have the issues but it's more fun to try and remember off the top of my head.
Posted by Bevis on :
Argh, this is really bugging me now because i'm thinking I might be wrong about one of the seven and I can't check till I get home.
OK, so six of them (if you include Oracle, which I think you have to) I know I'm right about.
Atom was certainly there, Flash and GL were there coz they got changed right before the JLA won, Wonder Woman (who I think was Hippolyta at the time coz Diana was still dead) was there because they used her lassoo to capture the split atoms and I'm certain that Oracle was too.
But I don't know about Superman or Martian Manhunter coz I have a feeling neither of them were. Now Bruce Wayne was still around, he just never became Batman. Maybe that still counts though. ooooh, that's gonna bug me now. Someone tell me if I'm right or not or my head's going to explode. Posted by Future on :
Bevis, you are SO close! You even managed to get Oracle, who stumped me when I tried to remember the seven myself when asking the question. All of your answers are correct but one, the Martian Manhunter. You're close enough that I'll definitely give the next question to you for effort, but can you figure out the seventh member? By the way, HE isn't as hard to think of as you might imagine. You've mentioned him multiple times already!
Posted by Bevis on :
The seventh member was Superman. Ok, so I ended up checking in the comic in the end. For some reason I just couldn't remember him from the story at all. He was Electric Superman at the time though so that might explain me blanking him.
Ok, so I get the next question. Yay!
Hmmm. Ok, sticking with Dc (sort of) lets go with Sandman. During the Seasons of Mist storyline where Lucifer gave Dream the key to Hell and all the various Pantheons were trying to get it from Dream there's one major pantheon missing.
Who are they, and why aren't they there?
(you won't actually find the reason for them being missing in Sandman by the way. Just so's you're trying to find it there.)
Posted by Kid Prime on :
OH, hell. I know which pantheon it is, but I don't know the reason, so I'm going to guess... it's because of the War of the Gods? (seems like that would be about the right time period.) If I'm right about the reason, then I'll say which pantheon (don't want to spoil it for anyone else.)

Greek gods, because they're fighting/merging with the Roman ones?

Madness. Dredging up one of the WORST moments in comics history ever.
I'm just waiting for the next trivia question to be about Force Works. Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Sorry KP. But you tend to remember the bad things along with the good. The Clone Saga and its many cloned follow-ups were the reason I quit reading any Spidey title until Ultimate Spider-Man came out.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :

And some of us LIKED the Clone Saga, believe it or not.
Away you go LL...
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
The creator of Wonder Woman also created something non-comics releated that is still in use today. What was it and what was his name?
Posted by Bevis on :
You think asking a Wonder Woman question is wise while I'm around? He he.
Wondy's creator was William Moulton Marston (I think his pen name was William Moulton or something like that) and his artist co-creator was Harry G Peters.
And WMMs invention was the lie detector.
He was an interesting bloke. Lived with two women, one his wife and one his mistress and had children by both. Six children in total, I think (and possibly a seventh. I'm sure I've read mention of a child that there's no official record of or something like that) who all considered both women their mother.
I'm guessing that's the answer you were after LL but I'll await confirmation before posting another question (coz that'll give me time to think of one. )
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
I should have known you would be lurking waiting for a WW question Bevis. I thought I might slip that one past you though. The lie detector and William Moulton Marsden were the answers I was looking for.
Give us your best shot!
Posted by Bevis on :
Heh, letting a Wondy question slip by. Chance would be a fine thing.
OK, I've no idea how easy this will be as a question actually simply because I've never been a Marvel person so I've no idea how famous the relevant issues were. Anyhoo..
In 1970 in the pages of the Avengers the all-female group The Liberators made their debut. But who made up the team and who was their leader really?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
And you people say the Clone Saga was bad? Avengers 83 is the most painful, cringe-worthy comic I have ever read, even with John Buscema art.
Leader: Enchantress (posing as Valkyrie) Others: Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Medusa & Black Widow.
Now let us never speak of it again.

Posted by Bevis on :
Aaw, I liked it. OK so I probably only have fond memories of it because it was the lead story in an Avengers annual I had when I was weeny and it was my first introduction to Scarlet Witch who I thought was fab. Yeah so it was very cringeworthy (even Roy Thomas admitted so later) but I still like it. The same annual had an issue where some of the Avengers (Wanda, Quicksilver, Vision, Goliath and someone else I think) ended up on a parralel earth with the Squadron Supreme on it made up of Nighthawk, American Eagle, Lady Lark, Tom Thumb and Hawkeye. Didn;t understand what the fuck was going on but I still liiked it.
Oh, and of course you were right sanity. You're up.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
What was the first issue that Dr Strange was shown with a square amulet in?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Wasn't that his first appearance? Strange Tales # 110? It was called the Amulet of Agamotto rather than the Eye of Agamotto.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
quote:Originally posted by Lightning Lad: Wasn't that his first appearance? Strange Tales # 110? It was called the Amulet of Agamotto rather than the Eye of Agamotto.
No, it wasn't [Although I suppose he probably retcon-had-it, he wasn't depicted with a square one at first. When was he first shown with a square one? ]
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Okay then I'm guessing it was Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme # 32, when it was stolen by the Silver Dagger. I just know it was supposed to be the first one he had before the Eye of Agamotto.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Clue: Most of the Ditko issues have a square amulet, and the transition to the amulet later dubbed the Eye of Amagmotto (the Orb was known, for the most part, as the Eye in those issues), was shown (he got the Cloak of Levitation at the same time).
But in the earliest issues, it wasn't square.
[ August 29, 2003, 11:15 AM: Message edited by: Sanity or Madness? ]
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
I'm calling myself stumped on this one.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Well, not being a Dr. Strange fan, I don't think I'd get this even if I had the Eye of Agamotto helping me. Posted by Kid Prime on :
I certainly haven't a clue. I thought he always had the Eye of Agamotto.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
"Amazing Spider-Man" #24 (yes, that's a completely random guess)
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Another clue: The issue in question IS a Strange Tales issue.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Strange Tales #117?
Strange Tales #120?
Strange Tales #113?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
quote:Originally posted by DrakeB3003: Strange Tales #117?
Strange Tales #120?
Strange Tales #113?
None of those three are the answer. Heck, Doc S didn't even APPEAR in ST113.
I get the feeling no-one's going to get it. Should I just reveal the answer?
[ August 30, 2003, 10:25 AM: Message edited by: Sanity or Madness? ]
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Anybody else want a final guess? I haven't a clue.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
I'm going to have a final guess with Strange Tales # 127. It had the first appearance of the Cloak of Levitation.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
The issue I was looking for was Strange Tales 115, where, on Ditko's splash page we see him depicted with a square amulet for the first time (this was his origin (& fourth app - the first 3 had him with a round one and no cape), so the very last panel is the only other time within the issue we see him with ANY amulet - yes, it was the square one again. For that reason I would also have accepted ST116 as the first time we see him with one in-story).
He dumps the square amulet in favour of the round one later dubbed the Eye of Agamotto in ST127, at the same time he dumps his non-magic blue cape when the Ancient One gives him the Eye of Agamotto (as I said, not called as much at the time) and Cloak of Levitation. ___________________________________________________
And I suppose I should ask another question - which issue did Bruce Banner and the Hulk remerge after their Onslaught seperation.

Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
I actually just realised that Phoenix II (Phoenix-Force-as-Jean) should probably be on that list too. Ack well.
Okay then, sticking with 90s X-books, what was the first issue where Wolverine's bone claws were broken?
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
I think Cyber did it, but I'm too lazy to go look up the issue number...
Posted by Kid Prime on :
I'm almost positive you're right, Drake.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Cyber did do it and it was in Wolverine # 79.

Sounds right, LL
[I didn't ask who, although it was indeed Cyber who put his foot down - literally, I asked when]
Next Q?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
We all know Bruce Wayne is richer than Bill Gates, but how, exactly, was the Wayne family fortune made?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Oh come on guys! No takers? Not even a guess? I'll give you until tomorrow and then start giving hints.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Hint # 1:
One of Bruce's ancestors (the one I'm looking for) was a member of the legal profession.
Posted by Stu on :
I believe the Waynes struck it rich in the guano business... the bat cave was originally up to the ceiling with the stuff.
Seriously, though -- I knew this once, but have apparently forgotten. Was he a judge of some sort?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Bruce's ancestor was indeed a judge but he didn't earn the family's fortune from the bench. It was during the Industrial Revoultion. That's your next clue. If no one has it by tomorrow, I'll post the answer and another question.
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Oil?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Nope, not oil. Think of what would be big industries in Gotham.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
uumm.... railroad tycoon?
shipping magnate?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
You're partially right Drake so I'm giving you the win. Here's the real scoop:
Judge Solomon Wayne made the family fortune by parlaying his extensive real estate holdings into a booming chemical and shipping empire during the Industrial Revolution.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
How was the invulnerable Peter Dawson killed?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Peter Dawson was murdered by asphyxiation.
Is Rising Stars still being published? I only got the first few issues, maybe 4 or 5. I'd like to get the rest one of these days.

I think I read somewhere that JMS is in a legal battle over the books because of a movie deal. Maybe I'll just track down the TPB's.

Posted by Kid Prime on :

Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Ok -- to get more specific, nothing to do with the cyborg in the Cameron film, not a DC comic character.
And I will say that even if you don't know Terminator, you almost certainly are familiar with the character that killed him.

Out of curiosity, do we *know* that Eitri ever lifted the thing? Maybe he did it before it was enchanted? When Beta Ray Bill's hammer was made, Eitri never layed a finger on the the thing -- Bill lifted it straight from the furnace. My Thor knowledge is lacking, so was Eitri shown to have actually lift Mjolnir?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
It is *known* although I do not know if it was protrayed visually in the books. Eitri presented the hammer to Odin who in turn granted the hammer to Thor when he was proven worthy.

Drake, bravo on the most obscure question yet. You really got me with that one.
As for the gun that killed Vic Sage, I'm going with a plastic gun. I seem to remember plastic guns playing a role in the Question books.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Hmmmm, there was a plastic gun issue (guest starring Green Arrow), but that wasn't the unorthodox thing about the gun that was used to kill Vic. I don't think it was mentioned whether it was plactic or not, so I don't think I can give it to you (unless you have the book in front of you, which I don't), but it's not impossible that it was (there's a weird kinda clue -- here's another clue: if it were a "real" gun, Vic probly wouldn't have recovered from that death).

I'll give the answer tomorrow if no one gets it.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Ok, it was an air gun. Since I couldn't really confirm or deny Lightning Lad's answer, I'll give him the next question.
Take it away...
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Well I only guessed a plastic gun because they were featured in a Question story I remembered. But I'll gladly give the next question.
Here's one that's a companion, sort of, to EDE's Cap's Shield thread:
Whatever happened to Cap’s original pointy shield from WWII?
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Was it crushed by Mr Hyde? (I think he crushed one of his shields...)
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Yep, it was Mr. Hyde. Back when the Masters of Evil attacked Avengers Mansion in # 275. Next question to you Drake.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Give me the next name in this sequence: Emil Radu Piet Lazlo ???
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
What, y'all need a hint? It's a shame more poeple don't know this -- even if you don't know it off the top of your head, it's easy enough to look up (maybe on google? hint). The real hint is: These guys are pasty-faced identical brothers.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Thanks for the hint; I saw the name "Radu" and thought this was a question about Kyle Rayner's supporting cast.
But it's about the Grackleflints (children of the Umbra Sprite) from Matt Wagner's Mage: The Hero Discovered.
The fifth brother's name was "Stanis".
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
You got it brotha!! Stan's the man! You're up...
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Something a bit different:
Last month I performed in a local production of Gilbert & Sullivan's "Patience"; which, among other plot-threads, tells the story of the professional and romantic rivalry of two poets, Bunthorne and Grosvenor (I was playing Grosvenor, in case anyone cares ).
Trivially enough, these two characters have the same first names as two comic-book characters with a long-standing rivalry. Name the company which publishes the exploits of the comic-book rivals.
Hint # 1: The comic-book characters share the same Alignment as their respective G&S namesakes. That is, Grosvenor's namesake, like Grosvenor, is the Nice one, while Bunthorne's namesake is the Rotten one.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Hint # 2: This is a currently-active publisher. They participated in Free Comic Book Day 2003.
At least one (and possibly both) of the comic-book rivals appeared on the cover of the company's FCBD 2003 volume.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :

I'm going to guess they stand for Sol, Oa, Rao and Mizar.

Posted by Kid Prime on :
Well, yes, but what's the significance? Posted by Lightning Lad on :
I wouldn't know. Haven't read it. Just guessing. Are they significant because they represent the tie between the Endless and the regular DCU?
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Well, let me rephrase. What is the significance of each of their star systems to the DCU?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Well 3 are obvious:
Rao - Sun(god) of Krypton, Kal-El's home planet.
Sol - Sun of the Terra system, homebase of the DUC and its heroes
Oa - Home of the Guardians of the Galaxy and the GL Corps.
Mizar - ?
I can't think of what hero/character is tied to the Ursa Major system.
Posted by Kid Prime on :
You got it. (Actually, there aren't any heroes there. The significance to the story is that Mizar is actually a quadruple star system, thus a perfect place to have a parliament.)
Good job! You're up.

What date and time were Bruce Wayne's parents murdered? And what movie had the family just watched?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
quote:Originally posted by Lightning Lad: What date and time were Bruce Wayne's parents murdered?
On Earth-2, Earth-1, Post-Crisis or Post-Zero Hour?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
The movie is, as far as I know, the same no matter what version of Bats we are talking about. As for the date and time, I believe it is post-boot so that makes it Earth prime or whatever they call it in the current continuity.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Ok, I'll take a shot, since I probably read it but just don't remember (now's the time for the subconscious to suddenly come to the fore...). The movie was/is/ always will be "Zorro". The time and date was 11:01 am Feb 14 (I'm just guessing it fell into the holiday theme Loeb set in "The Long Halloween"...)
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
You got the movie right. But the date and time are wrong. I will say the movie was in the PM as it was dark in Crime Alley on their way home. As for the date think of a family holiday that would make the broodiest character in comics even broodier.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
I knew it has always been "The Mark of Zorro", but I wasn't sure of the date/time beign constant. And with the post-Zero Hour changes to his origin, I wasn't sure.
The only date/time I can find is June 26th (Midsummer's Day) @ 10:47pm.
[ September 19, 2003, 12:01 PM: Message edited by: Sanity or Madness? ]
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
That's the date and time. June is important because of Father's Day (here in the States). I remember a story with Alfred talking about Zorro (Alfred's favorite pulp book hero) and how it affected Bruce and how Bruce always had a harder time dealing with his parent's deaths around Mother's Day, Father's Day and June 26.

It was from an X-Factor issue - in the midst of a crossover.

It's from an issue reprinted in the X-Men: Inferno TPB.

OK, I give up. In response to Warren's "Apocalypse called me Death, she called me Dark Angel - it fits" Hank goes "Let's have no more of this Dark Angel - you're our official Archangel now. Heaven knows we could use one."

You missed two "real" costumes and two "anal" costumes.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
I would give a clue, but the info is readily available via Google, so...
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Reed's basically always used the standard F4 costume of the time (which is actually unique among the team), although there are a few one-off exceptions, which you can see above (Along with the verious standardised costumes).
And is there any point in continuing here, or should I just Unfeature the topic and let it die officially? There doesn't seem to be much interest in it any more.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
I'd like to continue playing but I just didn't have the answer to that particular question. I've read the FF on and off for a number of years but not enough to note changes in uniforms. Although the site you gave was a pretty cool FF site.
Unfeature it if you'd like but I would still like to play. And you owe us another answer since it seems this one didn't play out.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
I like this game -- even when I don't know the answer, I'll usually reply for the heck of it. I wouldn't unfeature it, I think we were either stumped by the FF question or were too lazy to try looking it up.
I try to rely on memory though I will look something up if I have an idea of the answer. If I don't have a clue, I won't try looking it up -- just cause anyone can do that; it becomes a research asignment rather than a test of one's knowledge -- but that's just how I approach this game.

None, since by the start of the ongoing it had been decided they weren't in the MU Posted by Kid Prime on :
Even so, they DID meet Spider-Man in issue #3 of the 4-issue limited series (which segued into the ongoing with Transformers #5 the next month, so technically, it was the ongoing series already... the cover of Transformers #80 read "#80 of a 4-issue limited series!" It was cute and a bit sad.)

There she helps the Unconquerables, an underground rebel group, defeat the All-Seeing Eye and the Clan of Censors, who seek to destroy all books and knowledge of freedom. Back in 1961, Supergirl tells Superman that, even without powers, she intends to stay in the present with Superman and her foster parents. (Later, on the beach, she meets Dick Malverne, formerly Dick Wilson of the orphanage, who has also been adopted.) However, Mr. Mxyzptlk gives Kara Superman's powers magically, plus invulnerability to Kryptonite, to "make a mere slip of a girl mightier than he!" Thus, Supergirl is not only able to perform super-feats, but she can save Superman from a Kryptonite deathtrap and Lesla-Lar's power-sapping machine no longer works on her. Lesla herself is arrested by Kandorian police and her equipment is destroyed.

Its Tigra but I'm for letting Drake have it since he was close and first. Besides, he'll have a good question and I'm blank at the moment.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Okay then Drake - away you go...
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Well, I guess coming close does count sometimes
Ok, next Q: Why did Pope Innocent the XLII need all those bananas??
Posted by STU on :
He was secretly supporting the monkey colony founded by Koko? Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Sorry, but there were no monkeys or apes involved...
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Seeing as I don't know what comic that is from, I probably don't read it. And so wouldn't be helped by a hint. sigh! Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Hmm, I guess we'll see if there are any "Grendel" fans here ...
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Did he need the bananas (money) to build a church tower? Or did he need the money for the war he was plotting? I never got the entire maxi-series so I don't know exactly why he needed the money.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
The bananas did have something to do with the tower (or what was in the tower), but it didn't have to do with currency.
That Grendel storyline is currently being reprinted though I don't think they've printed the issue that has the answer.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
If nobody gets this by tonight, I'll give the answer (hmm, so much for Grendel fans being on this board )
Hint: did anyone see last week's JLA toon with Eclipso??
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Pope Innocent XLII was secretly the vampire Tujiro XIV and he needed the bananas (as well as a plutonium core) as fuel for his sun-gun (as in big gun to knock out the sun).
Ok, next Q: When Heroes for Hire was reformed after the Onslaught incident, who was the "secret member" of the team that no one else knew about?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Was it The Master?
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Nope. sorry -- The Master used Luke Cage to infiltrate the team, but there was an unseen hero who was part of the team for awhile before s/he showed him/her self.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Ant-Man II
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Yep -- it was Scott Lang, the Ant-Man. You're up SoM!
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
What relatives was Blink (AoA X-Men/Exiles) shown/said to have?

Ummm.... Nightcrawler and Mystique?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
No, think Tales, not tails...
Posted by STU on :
Scott and Jean?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
She's not a Summers
If I made the clue more explicit and said "go look at Tales of the AoA" would that help?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
No-one's read Tales From the Age of Apocalypse: By the Light, huh?
Oh well, besides recommending it:
First person to post gets the next Q...
Posted by STU on :
Shotgun.
Posted by STU on :
In an Uncle Scrooge story penned and drawn by Carl Barks, Uncle Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews travel to Greece to recover the mythical golden fleece. There, they encounter the creatures that are typically known in mythology as "harpies." However, Barks was forced to change the name of these creatures, because apparently someone at Disney thought that "harpies" was also slang for an immoral woman, and thus not fit for use in a Disney comic.
What was the new name that Barks came up with, and used, to describe these winged guardians of the fleece?

Okay, sticking with Marvelous metals, what are the properties of Vibranium. BOTH types.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
there are two types? Hmmm.... creamy and extra chunky??
All I know about Vibranium is that it absorbs vibrations/sound/kinetic energy... oh, and it also makes nice *bling bling* for the Black Panther.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :

That's one type, but there's another, very different type.
CLUE: Its kept in stone containers

umm... is the second type radioactive and destroys all metals in comes in contact with???
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Antarctic vibranium dissolves all metals. Wakandan vibranium absorbs all sounds.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
I'll give it to you Drake, although IIRC Antartic Vibranium isn't radioactive.

Are there ANY "Pure" speedsters in the DCU?

What was Batman's first print appearance?
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Hmm that sounds like a trick question. Detective 27 is his first comic book appearance. I am thinking that there may have been some newspapers publishing a Batman "strip" that were released before Detective 27.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
You are right in thinking it was a trick question. But the appearance I'm looking for wasn't exactly a strip appearance either.
I'll wait a bit and then give a clue.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
would it be an in-house ad in Detective 26?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Close. It was an in-house ad but it was not in Detective comics.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
well if not in Detective, then the next logical choice would be Action Comics.
PS: If Action Comics is incorrect, then I will guess no more and let someone else answer.
[ December 09, 2003, 09:54 AM: Message edited by: Quislet, Esq ]
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
It was in Action Comics. Now, what issue? Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Oh sure, ask me which number. I'm a lawyer. I deal with words not numbers (except for billable hours)
I know Superman appeared a year before Batman, in Action Comics #1. But was it exactly a year? Also I know some comics in the Golden Age came out quarterly rather than monthly. By that reasoning, it would have been after Action #1 and before Action #12, but I can not give you an exact issue number.
And I am not at home to look through my Action Comics 1-12
[ December 09, 2003, 10:09 AM: Message edited by: Quislet, Esq ]

Iron Fist once fought and defeated a mutant villain while blind. Who was the villian?

Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Sabertooth (in said "mutant villain's" debut, incidentally)
Away you go Drake...
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
So exactly how many times has Iron Fist been blinded? That's at least twice.

Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
The Sin Eater? (the real one, not the mental patient Brock got the exclusives on)

Yes, it was the Sin-Eater. You're up!

Okay, going back to Sabes, complete the line:
"She was an uppty squaw..."

"...kinda tastes like chicken" (??)
I know the issue that's from, but I don't have it here with me to look it up, darnit...
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
bump
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
The quote (originally in Wolverine v2 10, but quoted in other places, especially the Hama run) was "She was an uppty squaw Logan. She said no" (just after Sabes had killed Silver Fox, Logan's then girlfriend. We won't get into the retcons of that...)
Lesse, something simple...or not

He was given his powers by dying Xandarian Nova-Prime Rhomann Dey.

Yup
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
I just don't have the memory for the quote ones, at least not from comics. But I can remember battle cries and/or slogans. So, give me the name of the character each of the following battle cries/slogans belongs to:
“Oh my stars and garters!” “Od’s blood!” “By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth!” “By the white wolf!” “Imperius Rex!” “Sweet Chirstmas!” “SPOON!” “Blue Blazes!” “By my beard!” “Great Zenon!”

All but the two you have no idea about are correct. One of the two you should know considering a recent question.

Ah, "Blue Blazes" is Nova, isn't it? Couldn't get Captain Haddock's "Blistering Blue Barnacles" out of my head for that one...
Spoon, spoon...

Yep, Nova it is. And keep saying 'Spoon' and it may come to you.
You've gotten all but the one so I'll let you have it but I won't tell you the last one quite yet.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
One Googling later & I find its the Tick (since I've never watched nor read it, no wonder I couldn't get it).
And for my next question, I'm going to crossover with the "Caption the Cover" thread and ask who was Joe Fixit (i.e. the Hulk) sent to help in that issue and ask what relation he has to a lesbian New Mutant.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
I have no clue (having not read the Hulk) I am assuming the New Mutant was Karma
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
quote:Originally posted by Quislet, Esq: I have no clue (having not read the Hulk) I am assuming the New Mutant was Karma
Pointing out that it was an issue of WOLVERINE, not HULK...
And yeah, the NM was Karma, but that's not answering the Q
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Taking a stab at this (as I don't read Wloverine either), I would guess that he was sent to help Karma's brother who has the same powers as she does.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
No, he was sent to help Karma's Evil Uncle™, General Coy (though thanks to Wolverine messing him up, he did no such thing - which he was glad about (the not helping, not the messing up), when he found out about the Evil™ part).

What Flash villains died as a result of fighting the Flash (Barry Allen)? (I can think of 2 - there might be more.)
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
I don't know much about Flash, but didn't he accidentally kill the Reverse Flash?

Commemorating Dave Sim's amazing achievement!
Cerebus # 300 shipping (as promised for years) in March 2004!
To keep it relatively easy: first person to answer any ONE of the following three questions, may ask the next question!
1. Recurring character ELROD was created by combining elements of TWO other fictional characters. What are their names?
2. Several supporting characters (including some of Estarcion's most notable political figures) were based on real-world professional comedians. What was the name of the first such character, and who was he based on?
3. Name TWO non-Cerebus titles which were published by Aardvark-Vanaheim.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
1. I beleive he was an amalgam of Elric from Michael Moorcock's Eternal Hero cycle and Foghorn Leghorn
I'll take a stab at #2 as well and say Emperor Julius based on Groucho Marx
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
"El - ah say, Elrod the Albino! Prince of Melvinbone! Last ruler of a dyin' race, that is!"
Yes, Elrod combined the physical appearance and family background of Elric with the personality and speech patterns of Foghorn Leghorn.
And, Lord Julius, the Grandlord of Palnu, was based on Groucho Marx, and was the first real-world comedian to be turned into a Cerebus character (followed by Chico Marx and Rodney Dangerfield, and, more recently, Woody Allen and The Three Stooges).
Valid answers for Q.3 include: Journey by William Messner-Loebs Flaming Carrot by Bob Burden normalman by (Jim) Valentino Neil The Horse by Arn Saba also The Puma Blues (can't remember the creators of that one).

Name the original Avengers line up.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Let's See: Thor, Iron Man, Wasp, AntMan, and the Hulk
I believe the Hulk left right after the first story. I think he was tricked by Loki in the first story and was kind of the villian, but in lists I've seen, he is put down as a member.
I also think that AntMan became Giant Man after the first story
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Hulk left in Av 2 (but DID join, and was said to join in 1) and Ant-Man became Giant-Man between 1 & 2, but the original line-up is as you said.
Go ahead Quis.

I remember Dawnstar being in the original assault against the Anti-Monitor.
Beyond that, well it has just been too long since I read Crisis and I don't have it readily available to dig out.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Dawnstar wasn't in the assault exactly, she was helping to guard the tuning forks.
The assault I was thinking of was the one in issue 7.
It's been quite a few days now... I think I'll give the question to lancesrealm.
Off the top of my head, the complete list is:
Superman (Earth 1) Wonder Woman (Earth 1) Doctor Light IV Wildfire Mon-el Firestorm Jade Green Lantern (Alan Scott) Superman (earth 2) Martian Manhunter Lady Quark Pariah Captain Marvel Captain Atom Ray

Oh, ok sorry...didn't check over the weekend. Ok, here we go...another Crisis question..
The Psycho Pirate was pivotal in the Anti-Monitor's plan. The Anti-Monitor frequently told Psycho Pirate he (Psycho Pirate) could be replaced by one of two other people. Who were those two others?
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
I'd guess Raven as she also had emotion based powers

I think Phobia was the other one.

I didn't read Power Company, but my understanding is that he was just the money man/CEO of the group. So I would not classify him as a superhero.
Let's give this a while to see if anyone else comes up with any other lawyer/superheroes. I can think of two others off the top of my head.

I'll give the question to Chaim then.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
quote:Was M-E Lad a lawyer within continuity?
Well, TMK is considered continuity, I imagine. He definitely is a legitimate lawyer in that issue, not just acting in an ad-hoc manner. Zany, yes, but clearly in possession of an actual law degree.
But, onto my question...
Let's switch from lawyers to doctors. Most MDs who are also super-heroes keep the word "Doctor" as part of their super-hero name - Doctor Strange, Doctor Mid-Nite, Doc Samson (psychiatrists do have an MD, if I'm not mistaken). Name one super-hero who was/is an MD - as his or her primary profession, not merely a scientist who's generally smart and thereby occasionally acts as a doctor (e.g., Reed Richards, Hank McCoy) nor someone known to have medical expertise but does not employ it as his or her profession (e.g., Alfred Pennyworth) - but does not have the word "Doctor" as part of his/her super-hero name.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Thor - Dr. Don Blake
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Sheesh - can't believe I forgot about him. Been a while since Dr. Don Blake was Thor's secret identity. Good one, you're up.
The one I had in mind (though no more legitimate than yours) was Meteorite of the Thunderbolts, who was a psychiatrist before becoming the villainess Moonstone, later switching to the good side of the fence.

How did Nick Fury (the original not the Ultimate version) lose his eye and which eye was it?

He lost use of his left eye, probably (though never definitively established) due to a shrapnel wound from his WWII days that got progressively worse.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
It was his left eye and shrapnel was the cause. It actually was established that shrapnel from a German gernade forced a bone chip into his optic nerve. Don't ask me what issue, I just remember the revelation.
You've got next question Chaim!
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
I have counted 17-1/2 members of the Justice League in its various incarnations who have been married. If you can name 15 of them, the next question is yours.
Qualifiers: must have been genuine Leaguers. Not as anal-retentively defined as the cover of Avengers/JLA # 3. All the ones I'm thinking of were clearly inducted into the Justice League (e.g., not like Black Lightning or Adam Strange), were not false-pretense infiltrators (e.g., the Hawkman and Hawkgirl shown in Hawkworld # 21-25) had multi-issue tenures, and were actual members, not merely supporting cast (e.g., Max Lord).
Must also be genuine marriage according to some jurisdiction. The Red Tornado's common-law relationship with Kathy Sutton does not count.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Hero Spouse
1. Superman Lois Lane 2. Aquaman Mera 3. Flash (Barry Allen) Iris Allen 4. Flash (Wally West) Linda Park-West 5. Atom Jean Loring-Palmer 6. Hawkman Shayera Hol 7. Hawkwoman Katar Hol 8. Elongated Man Sue Dibny 9. Dr. Fate (Kent Nelson) Inza Nelson 10. Mr. Miracle Barda 11. Barda Scott Free 12. Metamorpho Sapphire Stagg 13. Green Lantern (John Stewart)Katmia Tu 14. Red Rocket ? 15. Animal Man Ellen Baker 16. ? 17. ? 1/2 Firestorm (Martin Stein) Don't know the name, but I know he was divorced
That is all I can think of.
The only other one is a member who got retconned out of membership. That is the Original Black Canary Dinah Drake married to Larry Lance.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Quislet, you got most of the list. I'd actually forgotten the John Stewart is now a JLA member, so that's one up on me.
The three on my list that you're missing are Captain Atom (had been married in the 60's before the experiment that gave him his powers but pushed him twenty years forward in time so his wife re-married), Doctor Light II, and J'onn Jonzz (had been married on Mars).
And the 1/2 was kind of a gimme, I guess. Though I suppose it could have also theoretically meant one of the Crimson Fox twins.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Oh, one more thing: the Russian's name is Rocket Red, not Red Rocket.
You're up!
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
You are right about Rocket Red's name
I had been thinking about Dr. Light II being one. J'onn J'onzz complete slipped my mind. I thought of him as a member but forgot about his wife.
And I did consider Crimson Fox as a possible 1/2 answer.
Let me think of a question now
[ February 06, 2004, 11:40 AM: Message edited by: Quislet, Esq ]
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
OK, thinking about the Teen Titans in all their various incarnations, I can think of 7 members who have been married. Same qualifiers as Chaim had. Genuine member, not supporting cast, and genuine marriage in some jurisdiction.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Wonder Girl/Troia (married to Terry Long) Starfire (married to that Tamaran prince, since widowed) Aqualad/Tempest (married to Dolphin) Kid Flash/Flash (married to Linda Park) Guardian/Mal Duncan (married to Bumblebee) Bumblebee (married to Guardian)
I'm blanking on # 7. I don't believe Speedy/Arsenal was actually married to Cheshire, and I don't believe the Terminator was ever considered a genuine member. Was Starfire/Red Star ever married? I know he was engaged to a woman who died in New Teen Titans # 18, but don't recall ever hearing that he's married.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :

#7 was the Atom, Ray Palmer. He became a Titan when he was aged back to a teenager and was part of the group with Jono/Slag, Risk, Prism, and Argent.

Not that I have any idea in hell what the answer is but I like this format for a question. We should have a separate trivia game that uses only visual clues.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Well, I have no clue. I can't even recognize what comic it is from.

It's from "Agent X", but I only bought the first few issues (and if it's an issue I actually have, I've forgotten this part).
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Okay then. I can't really give any clues without giving it away, so I may as well just give the answer:
Gail will be so disappointed
Next: Name that character...
1) This person became a superhero using a device passed on from his predecessor.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Sounds like it could be one of a number of people, from Green Lantern to any posessor of the H-Dial. Is there something more specific about the person you have in mind?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Yes, but I'm doing it as a "countdown," getting more specific with the clues until someone gets it Posted by Blacula on :
What if someone gets it correct after the first clue?
Anyway, I can't quite remember if this person became a super-hero by using a device passed down from his predecessor, but I know he had a predecessor...
so I'm gonna say Blue Beetle.

I'll say Hal Jordan.

It's not Dane (or any other BK (or any GL FTM)), but one quick point - I'm talking about a specific character to have used the codename, not just the codename itself.

Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
By "headline her own title", do you mean the comic was self-titled? Or could it be that she was merely the co-star (DD & BW-style) or lead story?
In any case, I'll guess Greer Nelson/The Cat/Tigra
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Sanity or Madness, you've got it. I wasn't including co-stars (as it turns out, Black Widow began sharing Daredevil's title one month before the Cat's first issue. However, I'm not sure the official imprint was changed at the time, sort of like the "Superboy starring the LSH" issues).
Drake, while Patsy Walker did headline a title of her own as a non-superhero, she doesn't qualify, since a) she was not a super-heroine when she was the title character, and b) that title started well before Marvel's modern age. It was, interestingly enough, Patsy's later Hellcat costume that the Cat was wearing when she had her own book. But the woman inside became, as SoM knew, Tigra rather than Hellcat.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :

No Drake, not snow.
Blacula has the right JLA/JSA'er, Hawkman. In his first solo series he faced these creatures, akin to Abominable Snowmen.

To help out a bit: The FF Annuals during that period were #'s 17, 18 and 19.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Well, with that clue and looking at the covers for the annuals, I would say the answer is the Skrulls and/or the Super-Skrull
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Skrulls is indeed correct - no Super-Skrull, though.
Annual # 17 was about a town of people who lived near where the FF parked the first three Skrulls they defeated, hypnotized into believing they were cows. John Byrne wrote a story in which the townspeople had been infected...by Skrull milk.
Annual # 18 had a Skrull champion and a Kree champion chosen by their respective empires to determine the victor of the Kree-Skrull War by one-on-one combat. In true comic-book morality play fashion, the FF and the Inhumans got the two to see them as a common enemy and team up to defeat them...leading the Watcher to declare that the proper conclusion of the battle is that the two empires should be at peace and work together.
Annual # 19 is when the Skrulls lost their shape-changing power in the wake of one of the battles for succession to the Skrull imperial crown, following the Skrull Throneworld's destruction by Galactus. (They must have gotten the power back at some point, but that would be after I stopped reading the book, so I don't know how.)

Blacula,
You are safe from embarassment. You are indeed correct.
Your Question.
Posted by Blacula on :
OK. Here's the task -
Name 10 DCU heroes who have a villain in the family (blood-related), and the villains they're related to.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
1) Aquaman - Brother Orm is Ocean Master 2) Spoiler - Father is Cluemaster 3) Green Lantern (Alan Scott)- Son is Obsidian 4) Jade - Brother is Obsidian 5) Starfire - Sister is Blackfire 6) Geoforce - Sister is Terra 7) J'onn J'onzz - Brother is Malefic (sp?) 8) Jericho - Father is Deathstroke the Terminator 9) Brainwave Jr. - Father is Brainwave 10) Live Wire - Brother is Lightning Lord
Posted by Blacula on :
You did a good job Quislet but in the interest of keeping you on your toes I'm going to disallow 4 of them.
Firstly, Live Wire since this is the non-Legion Trivia thread. Secondly, Green Lantern (Alan Scott) since Obsidian's 'villain' status is questionable and certainly isn't his current status quo post-Darkness Falls. Thirdly, Jade for the same reason as her Dad, Alan Scott. And fourthly, Jericho since I don't think he qualifies as a hero anymore since kidnapping and killing most of his teammates in Titans Hunt and has continued to oppose his old team following his recent resurrection.
So, that's six down -
1. Aquaman & his half-brother Ocean Master 2. Spoiler & her father Cluemaster 3. Starfire & her sister Blackfire 4. Geo-Force & his sister Terra 5. J'onn J'onzz & his brother Malefic 6. Brainwave Jr & his father Brainwave
- and four to go.
(Clue - One of your disallowed guesses was correct but with the wrong relative.)
(P.S. I let Starfire slide but I'm not sure what Blackfire's status was before her death. I have a feeling that she had reformed but I wasn't reading Titans during that period.)
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Well, you're welcome to make your own rules for your own question, but I don't think Legion-related answers are disallowed in this thread, as long as the question is comics-general and not Legion-specific.
That said, I'll throw on the list:
Orion - Father is Darkseid, brother is Kalibak Flash (Barry Allen) - twin brother is Cobalt Blue Raven - Father is Trigon Guy Gardner - Brother is Militia
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Oh - and I'll bet that the "disallowed guess that was right with the wrong relative" is Jade, whose mother was the golden-age Thorn.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Add Vril Dox of L.E.G.I.O.N., whose father is Brainiac, to the list.
Posted by Blacula on :
Well done CMK. You've added six more to the list! (Yes, you were right re: Jade and her mother Thorn.)
I didn't know Legion-related answers were allowed here so I'll have to remember that for next time.
Since you and Quislet are both tied at six a-piece I guess whichever of you (or anyone else if you guys can't think of any) who comes up with the seventh 'hero-related-to-villain' wins.
I can think of 3 more who definitely fit the criteria and another 3 who are in a bit of a grey area and will offer clues in case anyone is stuck. Although its not that hard a question - I'm sure you won't be.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
OK here is a seventh
Green Lantern Abin Sur - Son is Amon Sur head of the Black Circle
Posted by Blacula on :
Well done Quislet - the next question is yours.
Other heroes who could have been mentioned were -
*Faust & his father Felix Faust *Tempest & his uncle Slizzath *Atom Smasher & his father Cyclotron *Joker's Daughter/Harlequin & her father Two-Face (pre-Crisis) *Obsidian & his mother Thorn (debateable entry) and *Rose Wilson & her father Deathstroke & her mother the Hive Mistress & her brother Jericho & her other brother the Ravager (another debateable entry as of recent Titans developments).
Take it away Quislet...
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
quote:Originally posted by Blacula: *Joker's Daughter/Harlequin & her father Two-Face (pre-Crisis)
This would be debatable too. I think it was Marv Wolfman who pointed out that Two-Face was only engaged to be married (and childless) when he became Two-Face and that Robin was around then (if not shortly after) And yet Duela Dent, Two-Face's "daughter" was roughly the same age as Robin.

What's the name of the object that gives Vixen her powers?

Vixen gets her powers from the Tantu Totem (I think?).
Posted by ActorLad on :
Correct!
Your turn to ask a question.
Posted by Blacula on :
Whoops. Finally get a question right and here I am without one of my own to ask.
Hmmm.... OK - Who killed Larry Lance?
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Post-Crisis, it's unknown, since he died before the JLA was founded.
Pre-Crisis, Aquarius in the first JLA/JSA crossover
Posted by ActorLad on :
Pre-crisis it was Aquarius & post unknown, correct?
Posted by Blacula on :
You're both right obviously but SoM gets it for getting in first.
Quick correction to his answer though - it wasn't the first JLA/JSA crossover that Larry was killed in pre-Crisis. It was in issue # seventy-something which would probably make it the third or fourth crossover.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Ah - whoops.
*checks*
Actually, it was JL/JS 7. Bigger whoops - that'll teach me to go on memory alone.
Okay then... what, at last report, was the name the Heroes Reborn Super-Adaptoid was going by?
Posted by ActorLad on :
Odd I didn't see SoM's post appear until after a refresh when I could already see mine, must have been a glitch. Oh well.

What Marvel teams or organizations has Godzilla fought?
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Y'know, I had high hopes for the Star Masters -- I love Beta Ray Bill and have a fondness for Quasar and Silver Surfer as well. But the stories weren't interesting and I didn't like the art at all -- very mundane for a book with intents on a big cosmic scope.
As to the Godzilla question, my guesses are SHIELD and the Avengers?? He should have fought with The Shogun Warriors and Team America! That woulda been nifty.
Posted by ActorLad on :
There were more then just those 2.
Posted by Sanity or Madness? on :
Well I know about both the West & East Coast Avengers, plus SHIELD from the way you answered Drake.

What relationship is Galactus to (Marvel's) Death?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
brother/sister? I remember the issue - I think there were several relationships given.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
That's right, there were several. Brother/sister was part of it, but not the entirety.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
OK, i'll guess...
brother/sister, mother/daughter, father/son?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Close enough, lance. You ask the next one.
For the record, it was in Fantastic Four # 257 that Galactus referred to Death as "My mother, sister, daughter and wife" and Death referred to Galactus as "My father, brother, husband and son."

Yeah, I remembered the issue, but didn't have it in front of me. Ok, an oldie...

On which earth did Black Canary originate, and why did she come to Earth-1?
Posted by Blacula on :
Black Canary came from Earth 2 originally. She moved to Earth 1 after her husband (later ret-conned as her father) Larry Lance died saving her from the villain Aquarius during a JLA/JSA crossover. She felt that Earth 2 had too many sad memories for her and wanted to start again on Earth 1.

Actually, Pre-Crisis she never moved to Earth-1. She'd been fatally wounded by the same thing that killed her husband and they swapped her mind into the body of her daughter, who'd been comatose in the Thunderbolt dimension ever since she was born because she'd been cursed with a sonic scream.
Can't think why they retconned that away Post-Crisis, and just had two distinct Black Canaries myself Posted by lancesrealm on :
I'll give it to Blacula, since that's what happened in the JLA issue in question. SoM, where did the stuff you described happen? I have never read that.
Posted by Blacula on :
The stuff SoM describes all occurred somewhere around JLofA #220 or so.
It was a FANTASTIC JLA/JSA crossover (one of the best IMO) that incorporated really well many elements of previous JLA/JSA crossovers. Johnny Thunder of Earth-1 was the main villain again (as he had been in a much earlier adventure), the villains of the very first crossover (were they called the Crime Champions?) were antagonists again here, and the big revelation was about what had gone on behind the scenes of that JLA/JSA Aquarius adventure, as SoM described above. It was a bit of a convoluted and messy origin but made sense in a pre-Crisis kind of way.
Anyway, if SoM doesn't mind, here's the next question -
Who was Karshon?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
I think he was an Aquaman villain. He took over Atlantis or Atlanta or something like that.
Posted by Blacula on :
Well done lancesrealm! Karshon did indeed take over Atlantis during that great Jim Aparo run on Aquaman in Adventure Comics.
But who was he *really*?
(Clue : Think Green Lantern villains)
Posted by ActorLad on :
He was really The Shark.
Posted by Blacula on :
Correctamundo ActorLad. Karshon was really the Shark. A cool villain who really needs to be brought back sometime!

Posted by Blacula on :
Dad : Felix Son : um... Faust (was he ever given a first name?) Daughter : Flora (or was it Fauna?)
Sorry, I guess that was a very vague answer.
Posted by ActorLad on :
Yup, Felix is Fauna & Faust's father. It's easy to remember her name was Fauna because she had powers that came from The Red, like Animal Man, Vixen, B'wana Beast, etc.
Posted by Blacula on :
That's right. And didn't she have a girlfriend who had the plant powers (hence the name Flora)? Or am I just getting confused? Its been so long since I read that run of Outsiders.
OK next question -

Mark Shaw and "Snapper" Carr.

Your question.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
How old was Scrooge McDuck at the time of his first published appearance?
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
If the first appearance was meant to be chronological then he would have been 80. He was supposedly born in 1867 and his first appearance was in 1947.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Precisely the answer I had in mind!
Over to Lightning Lad!
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
Which also means he died at the ripe old age of 100 in 1967. At least according to the Disney timeline I've read. Wish I could remember the site.
I'll have to think and post a question later after I get home for the night.

This character was cloned, and the clone was intended to replace the original, before eventually dying in a heroic sacrifice. But it's not Spidey. Who am I thinking of?

The team "The Wanderers"?
Lex Luthor's clone?

The Eradicator?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Actually, I think rickshaw1 is on the right track - I'll say specifically Clonus from the Wanderers.

Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
nope -- iirc, Bantam was a guy in armor with some j'ai alai thing on his arm (I think). Either way, that's not the name of the guy pictured.
Hint: the pic was taken from an issue of "The Avengers"
Posted by lancesrealm on :
This is the Red Raven, I think. Haven't read these issues in forever. The pic is from Avengers around issue number 179 or so.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Sorry, nope -- not the red raven...
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Oh, wait, maybe his name was Bloodhawk? Grr..gonna have to check tonight...I know I have that issue...
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
*ding*ding*ding*!! Bloodhawk it is!! You're up...
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Yeah, I remember he died so Beast could put the coin in the giant walking slot machine.
Ok, new question...
This question is about the Flash (Barry Allen.)
I can think of only one villain who was NOT from the future who figured out that Flash was really Barry Allen. Name this villain.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
The Top?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Chaim, I don't think the Top ever figured out Flash's identity. Quote an issue that proves me wrong, and I'll give it to you. Otherwise, keep guessing.
Posted by Blacula on :
For some strange reason I'm thinking Big Sir. But I don't think that's right. If not him I'll guess Albert Desmond as Mr Element.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Nope - neither of those. (Again, if you can prove it by quoting an issue, the next question is yours.)
I think it is time for a hint, though. The villain in question is a villainess.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
Hmm the only Flash Villianess that I can think of is Golden Glider
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Quislet, it was the Golden Glider. She suspected Barry Allen was the Flash and put him in danger so he had to perform some super-speed tricks while in civilian ID. You're up!
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :
OK Going to Silver Age Green Lantern. You know Hal's recharging oath (In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power Green Lantern's light.)
One of the first alien GL's Hal met was Tomar Re. What is the significance of Tomar Re's recharging oath?
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Didn't Tomar Re use Alan Scott's oath?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Aargh, Golden Glider. She was the Top's girlfriend. Easy mistake...
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Yup - Golden Glider was the Top's girlfriend as well as Captain Cold's sister. Actually, she was one of the more interesting Flash villains, IMHO.
Posted by Quislet, Esq on :

Two part question: 1 -- what's the name of the character depicted below (the silver one)? 2 -- Who drew this image? Posted by ActorLad on :
The winged character is the SpaceKnight know as Sentry not to be confused with the "Lost" Silver Age character which turned out to be a big hoax. He was one of characters from the SpaceKights LS. The other character is a WraithKnight. Chris Batista did the art on it. It was a fairly good mini epecially if you enjoyed Rom.

It was a daring mutant feat of us when we defeated Forge's Enemy.
Easy enough clue?
Posted by ActorLad on :
If thats not easy enough I could reword it once more before just telling y'all the answer & picking a new Q.
Posted by ActorLad on :
We would have been unmade if the daring mutant feat of us didn't succeed & defeated Forge's Enemy.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
The Adversary?
Posted by ActorLad on :
I'll give it to you. Originally Haven's powers were supposed to come from her unborn mutant fetus but later she ended up giving birth to The Adversary.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Considering that I don't even know who Haven is, it's pretty odd that I got the answer to that question right.
OK, my question now...

[ July 05, 2004, 03:16 PM: Message edited by: ActorLad ]
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Name two super-heroes whose names ended in "the Unknown" (individuals..."Challengers of" is not a valid answer).
Posted by Blacula on :
Neon the Unknown was one. He was an old WWII character who was killed during Uncle Sam's first invasion of Earth-X in All Star Squadron. (Unless that's been retconned out post-Crisis.)
Hmmm, coming up with two is tough... maybe someone else can think of another.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
So far, Neon's death hasn't been retconned out (although obviously, it's no longer on Earth-X, but on the one DC Earth. The post-Crisis version of the story can be found in Secret Origins # 26).
He's pretty much the only one from that group who hasn't been retconned to have survived, though. Miss America was revealed to have survived in that Secret Origins story (which was followed up on in Young All-Stars), and James Robinson indicated the survival of the Invisible Hood and Red Torpedo in Starman. Magno would seem to be the only other one still dead.
In any case, I'll drop a hint: the other one I'm thinking of is a Marvel character.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Another hint: this character had a 10-issue series in the 70's, and the character's fate was finalized in the Defenders series.
Posted by ActorLad on :
Omega the Unknown, he was kind of like a robot. I've never read anything with the character I've just read his entry in on of the Handbooks. I didn't even need that last clue.

Would that be Marvel's the Exiles? Gee thanks ActorLad. Next time I'll just ask a question myself.
I realise people can ask whatever question they want but I'm beginning to think this thread should just be renamed the 'All-Marvel Trivia Thread'. I just did a quick tally and of the last 60 questions - 37 have been Marvel, 18 were DC, 4 Independant and 1 General question. Why don't we try to start balancing those numbers a bit for some of us who don't read Marvel? Or do you want it to just stay the same 3 or 4 people playing this game?
Posted by ActorLad on :
Actually it is a Malibu question & it was before they were absorbed into Marvel.

Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Starro, Despero and J.Lo? No, no -- I mean Amazo?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
I was thinking of Starro, Despero, and Kanjar Ro - but it looks like Amazo fills the bill as well. Take it away, Drake.

What city in the DCU was eaten by a painting?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Paris? (IIRC, in Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run)
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
You got it! Paris it was -- you're up! I felt a need to remind everyone that before Byrne there was indeed a Doom Patrol! Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Kate Worley, who recently passed away, was best known for her work on Omaha the Cat Dancer with Reed Waller. A major character throughout the series' run was Omaha's boyfriend, Chuck. What was Chuck's last name? And for bonus points what was the alias Chuck used when the series began?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Was Chuck's last name Katt?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
No, but you've scored some bonus points: "Katt" was the alias Chuck was using in the first issue.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
I think I'm going to give the next question to lancesrealm to get this game moving again.
As already noted, Chuck used the last name "Katt" in early issues of Omaha. His real name was Charles Tabey, Jr.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Thanks, BRM! Ok, here we go...
Who was the first person accepted as a member of the Fantastic Four who was NOT one of the original four?
Posted by ActorLad on :
Er, I think it was Medusa.
Posted by Future on :
I have no idea why and no evidence to back this up, but I want to say Crystal.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
Luke Cage??
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Well, this is of course, a trick question. I'll rephrase it:
The person I am thinking of was believed to be a member by the other 3 - but was really someone else.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Are you referring to FF # 10 when Doctor Doom swicthed minds with Reed Richardss?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Yup - that is exactly what I was thinking of. I thought someone would go for the skrulls from FF#2 as well. You're up, CMK!
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
In the She-Hulk graphic novel, She-Hulk lost the ability to revert to her regular human form. Who gave her back that ability for one-time use?
Posted by ActorLad on :
Nick St. Christopher, the World's Greatest Detective aka Santa Claus.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Ho ho ho, you're on the nice list, Actor Lad. So instead of coal, you get the next question!
Posted by ActorLad on :
I'm always on the nice list.
In Spiderman TAS the Black Cat had a connection to a Golden Age character, who was it & what was the connection?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
The Black Cat's father had a photographic memory and saw the formula for the super-soldier serum. He also saw the creation of Captain America. The serum was recreated by the Kingpin and used on Felicia. (I have almost this whole series on tape.)
Posted by ActorLad on :
I'll give it to you except you forgot to mention the Black Cat version of the super-soldier serum was an upgrade on the original recipe.

What Marvel villain did his/her creator John Byrne name after a brand of eraser?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Pink Pearl
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
It was indeed she. Your Ques, Quis.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OK, for me one of the most memorable things from 'Mazing Man was the motto of the local bank. Does anyone else know what it was?
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
"Please don't rob us"
"MMmmmm, Money..."
"Fresh Fish!"
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, nope, nope
But good guesses
For those who want to drag out their old issues of 'Mazing Man, it was never "spoken" but shown as part of the background. IIRC
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
"To serve, protect and offer low-interest mortgages"?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope.
Getting closer in that it was a sentence.
Hint: The slogan shows that the bank doesn't discriminate
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
"We specialize in serving super-heroes"?
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
"We'll accept pennies"?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope and nope.

"...or if you sleep in a car."
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, Nope, Nope, and Nope.
One of Drake's guesses is close
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
"...as long as you have money!"
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
getting closer, but not quite.
Should I ask a new question?

What was the name of the Shining Knight's kid side-kick?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
The Squire.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, although he did act at Sir Justin's squire. He didn't have an alter ego superhero name.
[ August 17, 2004, 07:02 AM: Message edited by: Quislet, Esq. ]
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Are you certain about that? I'm rather certain that in the later issues of Young All-Stars, a bunch of non-American super-youths joined the team, and one of them was the Squire, protege of the Shining Knight.
His real name was Cyril Sheldrake.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
I mean Percy Sheldrake. Cyril was his son, the second Squire, when Percy in turn became the Knight.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I think that was a different Knight.
I am thinking of the Frazetta Shining Knight stories. Sir Justin and Winged Victory.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
It was...and wasn't. Roy Thomas retconned a connection between the two in the Young All-Stars series.
Nonetheless, I'm not trying to argue you into submission. Clearly, there's someone else who served in that capacity first.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Quislet, was this Sir Butch?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
That would be the answer I am looking for.
Your question.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Quis, I had to google to get that one, and I learned a lot more about the 7SoV than I really needed to know. Anyway, new question...
Where did Jay Garrick go to college?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Midwestern University.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Yup. You go, BRM.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
OK, here's something recent:
Which major character(s) did not survive the conclusion of BONE?
Posted by Blacula on :
*eeek*! That's a SPOILERific question and I haven't finished reading Bone yet!
Maybe whoever answers it could put BIG spoiler space around their answer or use inviso-text or something? Or maybe you could ask a different question until I've caught up on my Bone reading BPM? I'd hate to not be able to come back to this thread.
Posted by DrakeB3003 on :
I thought the same thing when I read that question. I'm in the same position with "Cerebus" as well...(I'll likely avoid this thread for a few days...)
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
BONE 55 shipped over two months ago, and Cerebus 300 shipped in March!
C'mon, guys, get with the program! Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
*Sigh*
It appears that I am the only person here who has read the last two issues of BONE.
So, a new question:
Who were Agatha Heterodyne's foster-parents?
And, so this won't take too long, a link to the creators' website: www.studiofoglio.com (Look for the "Secret Blueprints").
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
The Heterodyne Boys?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Nope, Agatha is the daughter of Bill Heterodyne. Someone else raised her.

(Sheesh, and to think that question was meant to be a "gimmie" ... )
Posted by DrakeChase3004 on :

I'm afraid "My Little Chickadee" only reminds me of W. C. Fields ...
Posted by Reboot on :
Posted by Reboot on :
Ummm, Drake. I think there's a very tiny possibility that it may very well in all likelihood possibly be time for a clue Posted by Reboot on :
One more bump, then I ask a question even if Drake doesn't post...
Posted by RTVU2 on :
Isn't Drake still on vacation?
Posted by DrakeChase3004 on :
Oops - sorry I left this sitting here for so long. I thought I'd taken care of this stuff before I left.
The answer is Hunter Rose, aka Grendel.
Ok, next Q: Who killed Tomar-Re?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Hmmmm ... I can remember quite well the scene in which Tomar-Re passed on his ring, but I can't remember who killed him ...
Posted by Blacula on :
Oooo good question. I've never read the issue but didn't Tomar Re die during a Crisis crossover? If so I'll guess a Shadow Demon.
... actually the more I think about it the more I think he died after Crisis. Oh well, I'll leave my guess as it is.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
No, it wasn't a shadow demon, but he was indeed killed during the Crisis.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
It was either Goldface or Lurlan Dupo, I can't remember which was actually responsible.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
It was Goldface. Youre up LL!
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
How did the Red Skull originally become involved with the Third Reich?
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
Was he the scientist working on their version of the Super Soldier Serum?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Or was he the Jewish "volunteer" for their Super-Soldier formula?
Posted by ActorLad on :
It had somehing to do with Hitler making a bet that he could make anyone a model Nazi even "this bellboy". That bellboy was the guy who would become the Red Skull.
Posted by Lightning Lad on :
You got it ActorLad. The Skull was a bellboy before becoming Cap's worst enemy. Next to you.

Whoops! My bad.
Running with an X-theme (and Emma Frost theme) since I haven't really had time to think of anything else:
Name all the "official" members of the three Hellions teams. The original team of students at the Massachusetts Academy, the radical X-Force era team led by King Bedlam, and the current, new squadron of students at Xavier's.

Original team:
Jetstream Tarot Empath Firestar Catseye Magma Wolfsbane Cannonball Magik Cypher Thunderbird II Karma Roulette Beef Bevatron
X-Force team:
King Bedlam Magma Tarot Bedlam Paradigm Switch
NXM: Academy X team
Hellion Wither Dust Icarus Rockslide Tag Mercury
(and Specter didn't make the final, official, cut)
Posted by Future on :
Wow. Even threw in the New Mutants during their short-lived stint as Hellions. Good job, Reboot! All looks well and the next question is yours.
Posted by Reboot on :
Okay: Which Avenger slept with her fellow Avenger's dad? (And who was said dad?)
Posted by ActorLad on :
It was the Wasp, she slept with Magneto during the 1st Secret Wars mini when they were on Battleworld. Magneto is the father of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch of course.

Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
She slept with him??? Maybe in the same big structure, but I didn't see any indication that they shared a bed.
Posted by Reboot on :
It's, at the very least, implied. Big kiss, then cut away and don't see them till morning.
And given the time period this was published, and that it was published to tie in with a toyline, they weren't likely to show any more.

Well specifically Doc Ock II was the originals protege but I'll let you slide.
Your turn.
Posted by Reboot on :
Slide where exactly?
Who said this in what issue?
"What could possibly be causing you pain, LeBeau?"
Posted by Future on :
I have no idea, but I'd take a bet Belladonna said that to Gambit or a relative in the early X-Men Jim Lee days.
If not, how about that woman from his 2nd or 3rd series...the green mist girl who haunted Remy shortly after his return from Antarctica?
Posted by Reboot on :
Neither, Future.
Take a look at that speech pattern again...
Posted by Future on :
Ah. Mr. Sinister then? X-Men #45 or whatever issue when we see them meet on-panel for the first time?

It's not X-Men #45 Posted by ActorLad on :

Which two current regulars in the X-Men (not just X-, X-Men) books, left their brides at the altar? [but not at the same time ]

Logan & Gambit?
Granted I might be confused with the cirmcumstances since I don't really have any issues that reference those events very well.

Not thinking of either - Mariko dumped Wolvie (not the other way around), and Gambit... well, I'm less than familiar with Gamb**it, but I thought he went through with it.

Jean Grey?

Storm is the correct answer. Take it away, Reboot!

Heh (it was a semi-informed guess: I haven't read/read about the issues in question, but I've read the NMs/X-Men in Asgard stuff that followed straight after and, since Storm was with the NMs and fatKarma, it seemed a good guess )
Question to come (this is just a "I saw the thing" message )
Posted by Reboot on :
Okay... character & comic this is from pleze:
"First Blood! Superb as you have become Logan -- I will ever be your better."

Neither (think less roguish - remember the guy served his time. And I think Lang was only a burglar)

Nope. More recent.

Vance Astrovik accidently killed his dad after trying to defend himself from being beaten by him again. That lead from his codename change from Marvel Boy to Justice after his release from prison.

Why did (other than the obvious reason) Emma recruit Angelica to the H*llions?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
She thought Angel would be a great assassin? I need to reread the Firestar mini-series...
Posted by ActorLad on :
Basically yes, but there was one character in particular she wanted to use Angel to get rid of. Who was that?
Posted by ActorLad on :
Ok, since I've seemly caused a lag in answering here's a hint:
This person is the oldest member of the Inner Circle.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
That would be Selene, wouldn't it? So, she wanted Firestar to assassinate Selene?
Posted by ActorLad on :
That she did.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
What was the occasion for the largest gathering of super-heroes and super-villains prior to the great "mega-crossovers" that began in the 1980's?
Posted by Reboot on :
Depends if the self-contained Contest of Champions mini counts as a "mega-crossover" or not, I suppose.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
hmm...maybe when the Avengers were picking a line-up after the Korvak story?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
CoC is considered the first of the Mega-Crossovers in my thinking, Reboot.
And while I can't absolutely SWEAR to it, I do think the occasion I have in mind was a bigger gathering than that Avengers story.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Remember, this was a huge gathering of heroes AND villains.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
pinnochle night? Then they could have a villain called the Melder...
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Shot in the dark - Reed and Sue getting married? (the heroes as guests, the villains as crashers)

McCloud and Busiek's mid-70s Marvel/DC crossover?

Drake's got it.
Man, when I was a kid, I read that story over and over.
Now, I also read it over and over...every summer, during the annual mega-crossover event.

hmmm...never heard of this...what was it called?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :

Wow -- that really was a shot in the dark. I've never read that story.
Another Green Lantern question from me (what can I say, I'm brimming with enthusiasm for Hal's return!): Part of the wildly inconsistent portrayal of the abilities of the GL ring over the years includes its ability to speak. In one issue, Hal explains that the ring was never actually able to speak on its own - he only thought it could. What was his explanation for where the voice came from?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
There's no real way to hint at it, so I'll just give the answer -- he explained that it was his own subconscious that was giving voice to the ring (which has been retconned since then).
Ok, something easier then: Who created Skyrocket's armor?
Posted by Reboot on :
Doesn't that being easier kinda-sorta rely on people having read Power Company?
Posted by ActorLad on :

Heh, I knew the answer to that GL question but I thought it made to little sense to be true.
I didn't read Power Company but I think I recall hearing she made it herself.

Which member of X-Factor suffered from "PMS", what did those letters stand for, and what were the symptoms? Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
I'm pretty sure it was Random, but I don't recall the other specifics.

You'd be wrong to say Random anyway

Not what I was thinking of Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Strong Guy, then? The "M" stood for "Mutant", I'm pretty sure.
Posted by Reboot on :
Nope
I can't give clues here - if no-one gets it soon, I'll give it and ask another Q.

You're taking the smeg now. Austen never wrote X-Factor Posted by Reboot on :
It was "Pietro Maximoff Syndrome - an uncontrollable urge to be highhanded and arrogant." Quicksilver revelled in it [See X-Factor #87. Now]
What Byrne West Coast Avengers villain did Grant Morrison rip off when creating "Sublime"?

Yup
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
OK, I'll stick with the WCA subject:
Who was the first villain the West Coast Avengers faced after their miniseries ended?
Posted by Reboot on :
I was going to say Goliath, Nekra, Ultron, etc... but then I realised they appeared in the core Av book between the mini and the ongoing, didn't they? Dunno then.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
None of the above are correct, though there's no reason to exclude villains who appeared in the core Avengers book, as long as the West Coast team fought them immediately after their mini-series.
Posted by Reboot on :
they=WCA, not the villains
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
OK, hint time - that battle WAS in the regular Avengers book, and in an anniversary issue of it to boot.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
OK, the answer is Maelstrom, in Avengers # 250.
New question: name the four "desert warriors" who acted as minions of Dominus, and which was the only human being amongst them?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Sheesh, did ANYONE read West Coast Avengers back then? I'm bumping this rather than giving a clue, because I can't really think of a good clue to give.
(Now that I think of it, I just gave a clue - telling you that this was in WCA. It appears I didn't mention that in the question post)

Marvel: In the Eternal "Realm," Sersi is best known for ability to manipulate molecules, who are the other two popular females of the Eternal race and do they have any special gifts that make them stand out?
Posted by Dark Priestess Viviane on :
Should I post another question?
Posted by disaster boy on :
two more popular female eternals?
i got thena, she's the leader since her daddy was kind enough to die. she likes to use eye beams alot.
otherthan that i can't get the other "popular" female eternal. moondragon and gamora are not eternals right? unless i missed some continuity.
Posted by Dark Priestess Viviane on :
Here's the answer: Thena is one of them, she's a militant tactian with high energy powers.
The other one was Cybele, Thena's mother and Zuras' wife, she was skilled in the mental side of the Eternal's powers
Posted by Dark Priestess Viviane on :

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Originally Martin Stein was unaware of being part of Firestorm. What reason was given for this and why didn't Ronnie initially tell the professor?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Stein was unconscious during the explosion that created Firestorm. I don't remember why Ronnie didn't tell him...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You got it Lancesrealm (the second part was really a bonus) the reason Ronnie didn't tell the professor is that he thought the professor would stop them from being Firestorm
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Ok, we'll stick with a Firestorm question. First person to post correct answers to all parts gets to ask the next one...
1) Originally, who was Ronnie's girlfriend? 2) Who was Ronnie's high-school nemesis? 3) What sport did Ronnie play in high school?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
1) Doreen Day 2) Cliff Carmichael 3) football
Posted by lancesrealm on :
soooo close...2 out of 3....
Posted by lancesrealm on :
It was basketball. I am leaving town for awhile, so take it, Quis.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
D'oh. I remember the first scene of Ronnie in school was of him catching a football. but you are right.
Ok in the Super Friends comic book, where did Wendy & Marvin go when Zan & Jayna took over?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Rehab?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
That would have made for a special issue of Super Friends.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
College?
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Didnt they go to Paradise Island or something?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Legionadventureman (LAM for short) is half right and IB is also half right.
I don't think it would be hard to say from that that Wendy went to Paradise Island (Although Marvin might have, except this is the Super Friends we are talking about and gender identities must be fixed and proper )
So what college did Marvin go to?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Some sort of college established by the Superfriends for aspiring young heroes?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Wendy went to Paradise Island (as per LAM's answer) & Marvin when to a particular (made-up) university.
Unless someone figures out the college, I'm giving it to LAM as he did name Paradise Island
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Quis, I think we might need a hint or two if no one has gotten it yet...
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Is there an actual Super Friends comics index which might hold the answer to Marvin's "mystery" university?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Well, it was mentioned in the issue in which they left and Zan & Janya came in.
I did say LAM could have the next question for getting Paradise Island.
It was Gotham State University that Marvin headed off to.
I'm not sure where Wonder Dog ended up though.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Quislet, how did u find out that piece of info?
Posted by legionadventureman on :
I am not too good at these things - i make it far too easy for people to guess the answer -
This question is in two parts:
a)name Zatanna's mother b)the certain something which caused her untimely death.
Posted by Caliente on :
a) Sindella b) Saving her daughter? (That's the most specific I could get. ><)
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
b) I think it had something to do with a magical jewel which was needed by the Homo Magi, but I'm probably wrong Posted by legionadventureman on :
Caliente, you were half right and Invisible Brainiac...could you be a bit more specific?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Hm... I think the jewel was inside her or something, and it was used as a power source. Can't remember what it was called, though.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
One more hint - its a part of the brain

Why was Betsy Braddock able to touch Rogue without being absorbed by her powers?
[ July 17, 2005, 03:37 PM: Message edited by: Caliente ]
Posted by ActorLad on :
Because the "Carol Danvers" persona was in control of Rogue's body at the time and could control her powers. It's been hinted for years that Rogue's inability to control her powers is a mental block because she's afraid to get to close to people.

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Two heroes were inspired to become mystery men because of the Golden Age Green Lantern. Who were they?
Posted by Gay-lipso on :
Wildcat was one of them certainly. I'm not sure about the other though. Captain Comet?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You are half right
Posted by Reboot on :
Black Canary?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
not that I know of
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Wildcat and Batman?
Posted by lancesrealm on :
hint please?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Sorry, I forgot about this thread.
As I said, one of the two I am thinking of has already been mentioned.
Hint for the other character: This character, like Green Lantern was reinvented for the Silver Age.
Posted by Gay-lipso on :
Flash? He's the obvious reinvention. But I would have though he was inspired by... Flash. Same thing with Black Canary II being inspired by her mother (although I guess in a way she was inspired by all the JSA).
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope, not the Flash.
Also to make clear, the reinvented character was not inspired by Green Lantern, only the Golden Age version.
Posted by Gay-lipso on :
Ermm... I have a vague feeling that it might have been Johnny Thunder but I could be making that up completely. Either him or the original Black Canary, but I think she got into it because of her hubby and in fact started as a baddie or something.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope
Posted by Reboot on :
Atom
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nope
Posted by Gay-lipso on :
Hawkman? (not that I'm randomly guessing or anything).
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Not Hawkman
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Wildcat and the original Red Tornado?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Ding ding ding We have a winner.
I believe that Ted Grant just saw an issue of Green Lantern. Ma Hunkle heard Scribbley talking about Green Lantern when her daughter & Scribbley's brother got kidnapped. She asked who Green Lantern was, got a gleam in her eye, and soon the Red Tomato er Tornado appeared.

Well, there really weren't too many Golden Age heroes with Silver Age counterparts left to choose from.
Next: What was "Grandma" Duck's maiden name?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
um.... "Drake"?? Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I think Gander. And that is how Gladstone Gander is Donald's cousin.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
No and no. ("Grandma" is Gladstone's maternal grandmother)
Hint: "Grandma" was already living in Duckburg when Scrooge, Matilda, and Hortense McDuck arrived.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
"Grandma" was the principal landowner in Duckburg when the McDucks arrived, with the notable exception of a certain hill which her brother had sold to Scrooge.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Well it has been 12 days and no other guesses were made so I looked it up. Grandma Duck's maiden name is Coot.
Let me see if I can come up with a easy but not too easy question to get this thread going again.
Ignoring Ret-cons, who was the first new member (aka not one of the original seven) of the Justice League?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Green Arrow?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
That is the correct answer
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Which "Power Man & Iron Fist" character cast no shadow and why not?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
quote:Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.: Well it has been 12 days and no other guesses were made so I looked it up. Grandma Duck's maiden name is Coot.
Quistlet was correct; "Grandma" Duck is the granddaughter of Duckburg founder Cornelius Coot, as shown in the Duck Family Tree (as rendered by Don Rosa).
Sorry, folks, didn't mean to leave this hanging for so long! Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Having never read Power Man & Iron Fist, I'll be guessing.
My guess is Iron Fist because of his martial arts training.

Who is the only major human character in Peanuts who has never played on a baseball team?
Posted by SLK on :
Hmm, I don't ever remember Sally at one of those pitcher's mound meetings just before Charlie Brown gets the clothes knocked off of him.
Posted by lancesrealm on :
Schroeder?
Posted by SLK on :
Schroeder was always the catcher IIRC.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Rerun?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
SLK has it. Sally never was on her brother's or anyone else's team.
Rerun was on Charlie Brown's team in the very first storyline in which he appeared, though he was thrown off after he was caught in a gambling scandal.
Schroeder, of course, was catcher on CB's team.
Others on that team include Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Pig-Pen, Patty, Violet, Shermy, Frieda, 5, and, in later years, Eudora.
Peppermint Patty and Franklin each have their own teams at one point, though Franklin is later shown playing on Peppermint Patty's team, along with Marcie, Roy, Thibault and Jose Peterson.
Take it away, SLK!
Posted by SLK on :
Heh, good timing here! I won't be having access to the internet for awhile so even if I gave a question I'd never be able to answer it. So I'm glad I FINALLY saw a question I knew! Too bad I can't contribute any more. I defer back to you, Rockhopper.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Oops. I missed this one.
Let's stay with Peanuts.
Other than the Browns and the Van Pelts, which characters named above have known surnames? Note: Marcie and Franklin do not count: their surnames were given in a TV special, not in the comic strip.
Posted by Calybos on :
Well, Peppermint Patty has a kid named Jose Peterson on her team. But he's hardly a main character.
Schroeder's last name is Klein. Peppermint Patty's is Reichardt, and Franklin's (in the TV special) is Johnson.
Posted by Calybos on :
Almost forgot!
5's full name is 555-95472.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Partly correct.
One of the characters you named never had their surname revealed in the comic strip and another you did not name did.
BTW, in You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown, Franklin's name was Armstrong and Marcie's was Johnson.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
This could go on a while without a hint.
Peppermint Patty is Patricial Reichardt 5 is 555 95472
Schroeder has never been given a surname in the comics--in fact some fans have speculated that Schroeder is his surname.
The remaining character is one who appeared in the 1950s.
Posted by legionadventureman on :
There was another character called Patty in the cartoons and also there was Violet - neither of whom have not been seen in the comic strip for ages - is that who you mean, Rockhopper?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Which one? And what was her surname?
Posted by legionadventureman on :
Patty was the little girl in a green gingham frock and a bow in her hair...Violet was dark haired and wore her hair in a bun...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
I had forgotten all about this. We'd narrowed it to Patty and Violet. The character in question's surname was only used once. Here's a hint: her given name and surname together could possibly describe a person's eyes.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Violet Iris?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
It's Violet, but her surname is also a colour.
Posted by Lancecrawler on :
Violet Hazel?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
You're getting warm, but no.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Violet Violet?
Posted by Calybos on :
Violet Gray.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Hurrah for Calybos! Violet's last name was indeed Gray. It was used only once (April 4, 1953, to be exact), but it makes her one of only eight important "Peanuts" characters who officially have a surname. They are, to wit: Charlie Brown Sally Brown Violet Gray Peppermint Patty Reichardt Linus Van Pelt Lucy Van Pelt Rerun Van Pelt 5 95472
Take it away, Calybos!

There you go.
I should've asked for all the officers: Major Greenbrass, Captain Scabbard, Lieutenants Fuzz & Flap, etc.

The Punisher

Yup, you're up, Drake.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Wow...did he leave Reggie in a pool of blood?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
No, IIRC he was chasing a criminal who happened to look a lot like Archie. He was overcome by Riverdale's wholesomeness and spent pretty much his whole visit indulging in nostalgia for his lost days of innocence.
I'm not being sarcastic.
Posted by Calybos on :
I have that issue! "Archie vs. the Punisher." Great weirdness went on.
The Punisher went undercover as a new gym coach at Riverdale High and had to fend off Miss Grundy's advances.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Speaking of odd crossovers, who won the big fight in "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali"??
Posted by Matthew E on :
Ali did, as I recall. Because (well, partly because) there was a red sun-lamp over the ring, to make it more of a fair fight.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Yup! (but it was all part of the plan to save earth of course )
Posted by Matthew E on :
What was the name of the spaceship in Atari Force?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
The "Defender"??
Posted by Matthew E on :
Nope. (The ship was not named after a classic Atari game. At least not one I ever heard of. In fact, the comic book didn't really have anything to do with the video games. But, in spite of that, or because of that, or unrelated to that, it was still great.)

THE LEGIONNAIRES WHO NEVER WERE (ACTION 392, 1970)
Saturn Girl and Princess Projectra find themselves in the clutches of two members of The Legion known as Saturn Lad and Prince Projectur, who are told by Karate Kid to take these imposters away! In the 30th Century, Saturn Girl and Princess Projectra are making a landing on Planetoid Zirk, where Legion Leader Karate Kid has told them that Pozr-Du, a space renegade has taken refuge! The Princess wonders why her boyfriend picked them to bring in Pozr, but Saturn Girl figures that Val Armorr must have had a good reason, and she enjoys the chance to do the mission in her new costume (design submitted by K. Haven Metzger, Columbia City, Ind, and the editor tells the reader to check out Supergirl's new fashions in the September issue of Adventure).
They watch on the 3-D projector and learn about Pozr-Du, who has an arsenal of long-range weaponry, which makes him very dangerous. Saturn Girl and Princess Projectra use their flight-rings to search the asteroid terrain until they see his ship! She suggests that Saturn Girl use her telepathy to scan Pozr's mind to see if he's aware that they're on the asteroid, but a shot from a long-range weapon soon answers their question! They fall to the ground, and Pozr-Du stands nearby. They soon revive and Saturn Girl knows that they've been out for hours.
Pozr has left the asteroid, and Princess Projectra hopes that Karate Kid won't be too upset about their failure, but at least they weren't harmed by the weapon. Returning to Earth, Saturn Girl tells Projectra that she's receiving some bad vibrations from Legion Headquarters, and then, their ship is caught in an energy-grappler net! Cosmic Boy contacts the ship, and tells them to identify themselves! Projectra is in disbelief, but Saturn Girl tells her to play along. They identify themselves and request permission to land, but Cosmic boy has the energy-grappler bring them in!
Once the ship has been docked, Saturn Girl and Princess Projectra see Karate Kid, Cosmic Boy, Shadow Lass, and another Legionnaire have come to see them... armed with weapons from the emergency arsenal. Karate Kid tells them that there's never been Legionnaires known as Saturn Girl and Princess Projectra, then asks how they got ahold of a Legion cruiser. Saturn Girl and Princess Projectra are seized, to be sent to the detention-spheres for interrogation, but Projectra asks for the chance to prove themselves.
They check out the archive computer, where all members are accounted for... except for Saturn Girl and Princess Projectra, who notice that two of the cube-slots are blank! Karate Kid tells them that it just means that the computer hasn't been programmed for the two members they've just admitted, and Cosmic Boy tells them that neither member is a girl! Projectra takes them to The Legion Hall of Trophies, and is stunned to see that in the place of her trophy is a meteor arrowhead found by Colossal Boy, and Saturn Girl's trophy is also gone, with a Headfish from Paro, which Ultra Boy captured!
When they attempt to use their powers, they find that they've lost their abilities. Cosmic Boy introduces them to the two newest Legionnaires... Prince Projectur and Saturn Lad! The sight of them is too much for Projectra, while Saturn Girl is aghast at seeing male versions of themselves! Each Legionnaire demonstrates their powers, which makes things look grim for Projectra and Saturn Girl!
They soon find themselves imprisoned in a detention sphere, which is suspended within a large chamber by magnetronic rays, which Brainiac 5 designed to be escape-proof! Projectra figures that maybe Pozr-Du's weapon has them trapped in a life-like dream, while Saturn Girl wonders if the weapon sent the two of them into a parallel earth with another version of The Legion! Projectra sees that they weren't stripped of their flight-rings and sees a way to escape their prison...
She figures that Val thought the flight-rings to be copies, but soon, they use their rings to propel themselves in opposite directions to weaken the sphere-wall, then reversing direction so that they won't be slamming against the walls of the chamber! Saturn Girl knows that the clubhouse is a prison for them, but Projectra heads for the sleeping quarters of a Legion member!
Karate Kid sees Projectra in his room, but she only wants him to confess that this is a trick, and to admit that they are a couple, who shared a romantic moment from the top of the Meteor-Pyramid of Planet Frod! She kisses him, and Karate Kid soon blacks out, for Projectra made a stop by the equipment-lab and coated her lips with knockout-serum, which only works on non-Orandoans!
She places a small device on the back of Val's neck to learn what she needs to solve this mystery. Flying through the corridor, she sees that Saturn Girl is gone, possibly captured or... Projectra meets her male counterpart, then knows that with Saturn Girl not in the area, she can use her illusion-power to make Projectur see her being devoured by an alien gas creature! Projectur races forward to save her, and calls her "Jeckie."
She disperses the illusion and unmasks "Prince Projectur" as Brainiac 5, who used a device to simulate her illusion-powers! He tells her that the archive computer showed some data that a Legionnaire was close to a nervous breakdown, which would threaten the lives of the others, as well, in a dangerous situation. Since the archive computer is still new, it was obviously mistaken, and the only way to confirm this was by testing her, and having Saturn Girl be her proctor, as well as making her believe that she lost her power! Sun Boy was Saturn Lad, while Chameleon Boy was Pozr.
Projectra uses one of Brainiac 5's devices to see if Karate Kid was telling the truth when he said he didn't know her, and the device showed Val was lying! When "Projectur" called her out by "Jeckie", she knew that her friends were behind the hoax! When they're alone, she asks Karate Kid if she passed, and he tells her that the computer will be dismantled for repair, but it will be Mon-El, who is deputy leader, and since it's after midnight, he is the new leader, with Element Lad as his deputy! The following morning has Mon-El sworn in, while Projectra asks if Val regrets no longer being leader, but his only regret is not leaving office a week ago, so that he wouldn't have to put her through such a test!
I'm guessing that the art is by Win Mortimer and Jack Abel.
Karate Kid is wearing his original costume, but I prefer the one he wore when he had his own '70s title.
Saturn Girl's costume in this story is a favorite, as well.
The Legion Cruiser is caught in the energy-grappler like a red snapper in a fishing net!
Prince Projectur and Saturn Lad's costumes leave much to be desired.

Good guess Bevis but Lance's realm just beat you to the punch with Steve Trevor.

Ummm... I'm really embarassed to admit this but I just checked my copy of JLofA #157 (which I didn't have access to at the time of asking the question of a couple of pages ago) and well - turns out neither Silver St Cloud nor Lois Lane (along with Steve Trevor) were at Atom's wedding either.
SO SORRY!
I was so sure they were there, but I guess my memory of that series is not as good as it once was.
(Note to self - NEVER again ask a question unless you're 100% positive of the answer!)

By the way, I am mortified that no-one is a Blue Monday fan here. The names of the Hopeless Savages lasted about a minute before the correct answer was posted so shame on you all. Blue Monday is geenyus. If you are a Blue Monday fan though then shame on you for not getting it straight away since Bleu's only other obsession (apart from her teacher) is Adam Ant.

That's the one I was thinking of...the funniest Phantom Stranger line ever, effective because of the totally serious delivery. ("I thought we could be friends, but now I see I must forever remain...a Stranger.")
Go for it, walwithcrowds.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
I always thought that was really sad! I felt sorry for him.
Okay, who said:
"Hey, Superman, are you going to hang around up there all day or what? We're freezing our t**s off down here"
And what comic was it from?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
It's hard to feel sorry for him when he keeps that straight expression on his face. He doesn't show any emotion, he doesn't even express disgust. He just says his trademarked "stranger" line in the same way he always delivers it. That's what makes it funny rather than sad.

You're a cruel, cruel man, Chaim Mattis Keller.
Ever thought of a job in the teaching proffesion?

Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Jay said it in "The Adventures of Bluntman and Chronic"? (I just like imagining him saying it...)
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
I could so easily see him saying that as well.
Okay clue time.
This is from a Vertigo title and I'll even accept an answer of only the name of the comic.
Of course if anyone can get the character as well thats cool too.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
"Hellblazer"?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
No sorry Drake.
Although it is the perfect line for old Con Job.
I thought this would be easier. Ok another clue.
Like I said it's from a vertigo title. It ran for 70 issues from 1990 to 1996 and was an update of an old character.

Sandman?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Shade the Changing Man?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Well done Drake.
The character who said it was Lenny.
I'm really surprised no-one got this sooner. I do think the later issues, after kathy died, were not so good. I got the impression they were just weird for the sake of being weird but up till then it was an exellent, thought provoking series. Am I the only one who remembers it?
Drake you seem to have quite good taste in comics and films,Jay and Silent Bob, Hellblazer and now Shade...either that or good taste in guesses.
Anyway, Drake the floor is yours.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Sorry for stalling the thread - I used to love "Shade the Changing Man" when Bachalo really hit his stride (before his art went overboard) and before Kathy died.
Next Q: Why was Machine Man returned to earth by the Celestials?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I have no clue.
To restore a cosmic balance or some such thing?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
They needed the parts?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
no and no. Dontch'all read "Nextwave"? You should!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Bump for either a clue or a new question from Drake
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
I guess a clue won't really be helpful. The reason the Celestials returned Machine Man to earth was that he was (and I quote), "total ****" (not a highpoint in the life of Aaron Stack).
I'll throw out a new question then: Which hero made his first earthly appearance in East Bromwich, England?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Captain Britain?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Etrigan? (total guess - not even sure he's classified as a hero.)
Posted by Matthew E on :
The Beefeater?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Psylocke?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
nope to all. Lance was kinda close if that's a hint... (think outside Marvel and DC)
Posted by Bevis on :
Oh, dammit, I'm blanking on the name... I've met the creator a couple of times down in Bristol. It's not Union Jack but damned if I can think what he's called. I even have a couple of issues. It was self published and is now published by Image I think. I may have to google it and find out because otherwise it'll drive me insane trying to remember...
Posted by Bevis on :
Jack Staff! Took me long enough to work it out...
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Good guess -- but wrong . This hero isn't British themed in any way.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Ummm...Superman?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Nope ... but perhaps you were going on the "first *earthly* appearance" part of my question ... that's a wise move...
Posted by Lance's realm on :
the Spectre?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Hellboy?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Hellboy it is!
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Who is (most likely) always going to be the last character in an alphabetical listing of the Marvel Universe?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Zzzaxx?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Zzzat's correct, Drake (though only one x.) Take it away!
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
What did the current Union Jack study in school?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Vexillogy?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
hint: it was one of the humanities.

philosophy?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
nope.
Hint: I studied the same thing.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
history?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
I guess I've stalled this long enough.
Union Jack studied Art in school.
Next Q: Who has the first line of dialogue in "Return of the Dark Knight"? (hint: it's a silver age character, but not from the Batman mythos)
[ June 29, 2006, 04:23 PM: Message edited by: DrakeB3004 ]
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Green Arrow?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Jimmy Olsen?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Lana Lang?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
hint: a female supporting character from another franchise.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Cat Grant?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Carol Ferris?
Posted by Ben McClure on :
Lois Lane
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Rockhopper's got it! It was (presumably) Carol Ferris (Bruce is in a Ferris racecar or whatnot talking to someone named Carol who's trying to warm him that he's about to crash and burn -- something familiar to Carol from her days as Hal Jordan's boss).
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Whatever happenned to Carol Ferris anyway? Is she still around? And when did she discover Hal was GL?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
That was a total guess. She was the only Silver Age female supporting character I could think of.
In the 1970s All-Star Comics, to which country was Dick Grayson (Robin of Earth-Two) the ambassador?
Posted by Calybos on :
South Africa, I think.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
That is correct. The interesting thing was, unlike in our world, the South Africa of Earth-Two did not have Apartheid.
Over to you, Calybos.
Posted by Calybos on :
Here's another Earth-2 question:
How did the Batman of Earth-2 die? And who was responsible for it (other than the writer, of course)?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
The Butler did it in the study with a candlestick?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Oh... I read this not too long ago...the Soul-Stealer made a building fall on him?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Oh I forget the name of the villian. I think it was a regular crook possessed by some cosmic foe of the JSA (Wotan or Karnack? I'm not sure). He had just taken out the JSA. Police Commissioner Bruce Wayne dons the Batman outfit, climbs up the side of a building (catching the Flash as he was tossed off the building), grapples with the crook, and the mystic forces consume them both. Helena wakes up in time to see her father die.
Bruce Wayne is revealed to be Batman, but Dr. Fate ultimately uses magic to restore the secret and preserving Dick's & Helena's secret identities.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
quote:Originally posted by Lance's realm: Whatever happenned to Carol Ferris anyway? Is she still around? And when did she discover Hal was GL?
She's still around and married to a guy named Gil. Hal told her his secret ID sometime during the O'Neil/Adams GL/GA run (she was still in a wheelchair at the time).
Posted by Calybos on :
Quislet's right; the crook's name was Bill Jensen (Adventure #462).
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OK, Everyone knows that the JLA was on Earth-1 and the JSA was on Earth-2, what Earth was Captain Marvel from?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Earth-S?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
That is correct. Sorry for the delay of game.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
OK, here we go...try to do this from memory, ok?
What was Pieface's real name?
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Tom Kalmaku?

That's it...take it IB.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Whoops! Sorry for stalling.
Who is the Fat Lady?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Big Bertha of the Great Lakes Avengers?
Posted by KryptonKid on :
I think it was Faith of the JLA.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Got it, KK! You're up Posted by KryptonKid on :
Thanks.
OK, who originally nominated Black Lightning for JLA membership?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Was it...Green Arrow?
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Green Arrow is right.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Cool...here we go...
Who killed Tomar Re?

The Anti-Monitor? I know it happened during the Crisis.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
No..shortly after the Crisis, actually...

Goldface
Posted by Lance's realm on :
That's it, Drake!
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Next Q: Which comic featured the derogatory term "Bospor" named for an alien race?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I'll guess Fantastic Four.
But what is considered derogatory about "Bospor"?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
It's not FF -- and to clarify, Bospors are an alien race, but they're considered scum, so if you were to insult someone, you might say "You lazy son of a Bospor!"
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Omega Men?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Nope.
Hint - it was more sci-fi than superheroics.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Dr. Who?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
That's familiar ... Alien Legion?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
You got it BRM - my second favorite Legion! You're up!

(It's been ages since I read any Alien Legion, so that nearly qualifies as a lucky guess ... I almost guessed Atari Force ... )

Just realized that we were getting away from comics trivia, so strike my initial question.
What do Hank McCoy and Jean Grey have in common with Susan and Johnny Storm?
[ August 03, 2006, 04:26 PM: Message edited by: Seth Gaterra ]
Posted by Calybos on :
I think they all went to the same school... was it Metro College?
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
While according to Wikipedia, Johnny and Jean did go there... it didn't mention Sue's education. And Hank studied up to his doctorate at Xavier's.
Hint: It's a common belief.
Posted by Calybos on :
Well, they're all (apparently) Episcopalian. Is that it?
Though I'm not sure how your church attendance would be affected after actually MEETING the Big Guy in person, as Sue & Johnny did.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
Correct! Your turn, Calybos.
Posted by Calybos on :
By what names are the following better known: Dwight Hubbard, Thomas Sorenson, Heidi Franklin, and James Sharpe?
And what do you call them all together (with one more)?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :

King, Jack, Queen, & Ten?
Posted by Calybos on :
Nope, but you're in the right neighborhood. Wrong company, though.

Well, I do believe I've stumped the panel. So here's a hint:
As a group, they've met the New Warriors.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Psionex? That's Marvel, right?
Posted by Calybos on :
Yep. The fifth member is Asylum, and the named folks are Impulse, Mathemanic, Pretty Persuasions, and Coronary.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Who were the Golden Age sidekicks for: Green Lantern (Alan Scott) Plastic Man Star-Spangled Kid Crimson Avenger

When the Freedom Fighters made the jump to Earth-One and their own title in the late '70's, they were plagued by which villian?

Nope. Ooh, I like the way this one is beginning to play out.
Posted by Matthew E on :
I read this, once, a while ago. Uhh, Oa, Rao and... Sol?

Correct, Matt! Personifications of DCU astronomical stars, not stars as in "popular characters".

Posted by Matthew E on :
Here's an oldie but a goodie.
Who were the Emissaries of Varn? (The name of the comic series they appeared in and a brief description will suffice as an answer.)
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Amethyst
3 magical baddies that the Dark Opal hired.
Posted by Matthew E on :
Yep. They were cloaked and hooded guys with swirling vortices of destruction where their faces should be. Go ahead.

On a strange island Aquaman, Atom, and Elongated Man met an alien being tormented by an AI. What was the alien's name?

I remember the story, Satellite-era Justice League ... I think her name was Willow.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Yessir. Your turn.
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Give either the name or the nickname of Prince Valiant's sword. Bonus points ( ) if you know both.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
He wielded the Singing Sword, didn't he?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
"Mr. Pointy"?
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
"Singing Sword" was the nickname, so it's Seth Gaterra's turn. FYI, the sword's proper name was "Flamberge".
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
What's embarrasing is that I knew the answer from Mad's version of the story "Prince Violent". The running gag for it being what song it would sing next (lyrics and all).
But going with the old-time comics, in "Gasoline Alley" Walt Wallet found a baby on his doorstep and adopted the tyke. What was the baby's name... and what does it mean?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I know the baby's name is Skeezix. I have no idea what it means
[ September 02, 2006, 04:29 PM: Message edited by: Quislet, Esq. ]
Posted by KryptonKid on :
The name of Walt's adopted baby in "Gasoline Alley" was Skeezix. I assume this was a play on the word 'skeezicks' which meant rascal or ne'er-do-well.
[ September 02, 2006, 06:19 PM: Message edited by: KryptonKid ]
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
Name is correct; my source gives a different meaning for the name, though. Try again? Posted by KryptonKid on :
Well, sir, if you insist.
Skeezix - A small fairy believed to like playing tricks on people.
I hope this is closer to the denotation that you were looking for.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
You're getting colder, KryptonKid.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
OK, I don't know where I read this, but if it's wrong I'll give up for a while.
Skeezix- A person with a large head.
(may the gods forgive me...)
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
Even colder, KryptonKid... sorry. Posted by KryptonKid on :
I can't seem to let this go.
Skeezix- fanciful; meaningless.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
Still not it. Hint: it had to do with why he'd been left on a doorstep.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Skeezix: (adj) smelling of rotten fruit (??)
Posted by Matthew E on :
Was it derived from the sound he made when he was snoring: S-K-Z-X?
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
Neither of the two latest answers are right.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
It means "smelly nappy"?
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
No it doesn't, walkwithcrowds. Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Does it mean "bastard"?
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
No, it doesn't! Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
My only guess would be that it has something to do with mosquitos.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
No, not mosquitoes...
Should I go ahead and give the answer? Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Does it mean noisy baby?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Oh, I used to know this.
Is it something like "orphan" or "foundling"?
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
Very close, Rockhopper Lad. But not quite it...
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Unwanted baby?
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
No... it does have to do with being orphaned, but it's a particular phrase -- and species -- I'm looking for.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I think we are all guessed out Seth. Reveal your answer and ask another.
Posted by Downunder Lad on :
I have a source claiming that "Skeezix" is cowboy slang for a motherless calf - would that be what you're looking for?
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
A "skeezix" is indeed a slang term for a motherless calf... so since Downunder Lad just guessed it before I posted the answer, it's his question!
Posted by Downunder Lad on :
[Monty burns]Eeeeexcellent{/Monty Burns]
In Liberty Meadows, what species was Frank originally intended to be?
Posted by Xben on :
A cow (I've never read this comic)
Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Well, in University˛ (the proto-Liberty Meadows Frank Cho did for his college newspaper), "Frank" is a duck; is that what you had in mind?
Posted by Downunder Lad on :
I was looking for the Duck, yes. When Frank took University2 to the syndicates, they thought it 'too weird' that Brandy would date a duck.
And Xben, do yourself a favour and seek out some Liberty Meadows - surreal humour at its weirdest Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Something straightforward to keep the game moving:
In what DC title did Zatanna make her first appearance? (bonus points if you know the issue#, but the title will do)
Posted by Downunder Lad on :
Hawkman #4 (November 1964)
Oh gods, I am such a dweeb Posted by Bicycle Repair Man on :
Hawkman is correct.
Back to Downunder Lad.
Posted by Downunder Lad on :
Name the first appearance of Red Sonja. Bonus points for naming the author.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Conan #23. By Roy Thomas?
Posted by Downunder Lad on :
Is the correct answer. Over to walkwithcrowds.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Okay. I've just finished re-reading this series (and it was just as good as I remember)so I'll ask:
What series did Cathy Fregosi appear in?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
"Strangers in Paradise"?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Sorry I took so long to answer.
Nope, Drake. I've never read that one.
The series I'm looking for is one that has been cancelled and it ran in the late 80's and early 90's.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Shade the Changing Man?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
No. Good guess though. The girl from Shade was called Kathy George. Shade is actually next on my re-read list.
Time for another clue: The name is misleading as Cathy is a man.
I'll give two clues because I've taken so long to get back to this: The character who's comic this was is going through a bit of a renaissance at the moment and is very much in the spot light, just now.
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
I looked this up since it's been twelve days since you asked the question...

Or Jean Grey?
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
KryptonKid is right!
Posted by KryptonKid on :
What was Superman's paternal grandfather's name?
Posted by Bevis on :
I thought I knew this one (at least Pre-Crisis) because I have an old Superman annual with a story where Hawkgirl is investigating a Krptonian workshop found on Earth from the mid 1800s. Only I just had a look and in that story the character is called Var-El, but he's actually stated to be Kal-Els' Great-Grandfather, rather than just his grandfather.

Wasn't Superman's grandfather the first Jor-El in the El family?

Here's a tough one. I think it's a tough one.
I had a comic book once. It was a comic-bookization of a short-lived, little-known TV series of the early '70s. The TV series was an adventure show about a scuba-diving hero. The comic was published by Charlton, and it lasted for... let's say less than a dozen issues.
What was the title? (Of the comic and the show.)

Would that be Man from Atlantis?
Posted by Matthew E on :
No, 'Man from Atlantis' was relatively famous compared to this one. (And he didn't need scuba equipment.)
Posted by Matthew E on :
I don't have any hints to give for this one so I'll just say that if nobody gets it by, I don't know, tomorrow afternoon, I'll just give the answer.

the Shape?

Nope.
Posted by Matthew E on :
Putting us all out of our misery...
The name of the TV show and comic book was:

Someone else ask one now.

Not THE Robert Brown???? How could this show have not succeeded???
Back in the 80s, independent comic book companies were just starting out. Name either of the two series Jack Kirby did for Pacific Comics.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Captain Victory was one. I can't remember the other. I never read them but I remember the adverts from the Groo Comics.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Captain Victory was indeed one, so you have the question. Captain Victory was the one I remembered (but never read) but in looking up things to make sure I remembered correctly, I discovered that Kirby also did Silver Star
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
As I mentioned Groo the Wanderer I'll do a question on him.
What was the name of "The Ambassador"?
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Sorry guys, I forgot all about this thread.
So, no Groo fans. And I thought you were all people of good taste.
Okay I'll try a different question. I have to go out just now but I'll get back to you tonight.
Oh and the ambassador was called Gru.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
I read Gru on and off, but didn't recall any ambassador reference. Of course, it's also been 15 years...
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Okay, I'm back.
I'll do another Groo question but an easy one:
What is mulch?
There are two possible answers to this, any one will do but you get extra smart points if you can get both and also if you give the full definition.
Posted by Matthew E on :
1. Mulch is the Sage's dog.
2. Mulch is something something vegetable something sediment something process blah blah blah I can't remember the whole thing.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Got both parts right Matthew.
The full quote would be "Mulching is a process of inbred fertilization which employs certain decomposed organic materials - including but not limited to animal sediment - to blanket an area in in which vegetation is required. The procedure enriches soil for stimulated plant development while, at the same time, preventing erosion and decreasing evaporation of moisture from the ground."
I can't believe I was sad enough to look that up and then type it all out...I REALLY have to get out more!

Name the father, grandfather and great-grandfather of the O'Dare siblings who were friends of Jack Knight.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Wow, a whole week and no takers?
Hint: The father's name is Billy. Name the other two and the next question's yours.
Posted by Xben on :
ONe of them (I assume the great-grandfather) is Scalphunter, I think. I don't remember the other one.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Nope, Scalphunter was Matt O'Dare's prior incarnation, and was the boss of the great-grandfather...but not a blood relative of the O'Dares.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I know if I had read Starman, I'd know this
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
We seem to have lost CMK. Quis, you were the last one to answer his question, do you want to take the next go?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
I read Starman, and I don't recall Billy's dad (wasn't Scalphunter, tho). But I haven't read them recently; there may have been a brief mention.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Sorry guys, didn't realize how long I'd left this.
Brief mention it was - Billy's dad was Rory (mentioned just briefly in issue # 26) and Rory's dad was Carny, who actually appeared in the Scalphunter Times Past stories.
I'll let XBen have the next question. Remembering that Scalphunter is associated with the O'Dares didn't really answer the question, but was more than anyone else had to offer.
Posted by Xben on :
Sorry, I had no idea that I'd been given this question...
OK, what's the name of 1A's protege, what is his nickname/unofficial position, and what year did his adventures take place?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Magnus, Robot Fighter, 4000 AD.
Posted by Xben on :
That's right. I found two of the Dark Horse archives at my local library. I don't know that I'd ever heard of this series before.
For those who are like I was (not familiar with this title), Matthew E's correct answer is also the name of the series.

Okay, here are lists of names from three different (but similarly themed) comic strips. All three lists are arranged in the exact same order. The trivia question is to fill in the names at A?, B? and C?.
Blag; A?; Joe; Yamara. Yeagar; Artax; B?; (empty). (and also Nodwick) C?; Teflon Billy; (empty); Knuckles. (and also Thorina or Zayre)
Somebody out there will find this one really easy...
Posted by Xben on :
But not me!
Posted by Matthew E on :
I have no idea how useful this will be, but
Hint:
The pattern I'm using to arrange the names is
Fighter; Wizard; Cleric; Thief. (and also other party members)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I think you have stumped us.
Perhaps a different question is in order.
Posted by Matthew E on :
Okay.
The answers to that one:
A? = Fea (from Yamara) B? = Piffany (from Nodwick) C? = El Ravager (from Knights of the Dinner Table)
all of which are strips that have appeared in Dragon magazine, although at least two of them have had independent existences also.
New question:
Wonder Woman says "Great Hera!" Luke Cage says "Christmas!" Who says "Shoot-a-mile!"?
Hint: DC.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Speedy?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Nope.
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
it sounds Silver Age, so (total guess) Jimmy Olsen?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Not Jimmy Olsen. And I would not call this character 'Silver Age'.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Bat Lash?
Posted by Matthew E on :
No, but... how can I put this... you've come the closest to having the right voice in your head, if you know what I mean.
None of the guesses is all that similar to the character in question, but we can take Quislet's guess as a hint, in a way.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Jonah Hex?
Posted by Matthew E on :
No, it's a modern-day character.
Posted by Matthew E on :
Hint: this is not a cowboy or western character; it's more of a country-boy sort of character. He has hardly appeared at all in comics since the title he was in was cancelled in the '80s, but 52 contains a reference to him.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
El Diablo?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Nope. One more hint: this character is not a human being.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Electric Warrior?
[ December 21, 2006, 07:10 PM: Message edited by: Kent Shakespeare ]
Posted by Matthew E on :
No.
Summing up the question and hints so that they're all in the same place:
Q: Wonder Woman says 'Great Hera!'. Luke Cage says, 'Christmas!'. Who says 'Shoot-a-mile!'?
Hints: not a Silver Age character; Quislet's guess (Speedy) can be construed as a hint, sort of; not a cowboy or western hero, but kind of a country boy; hasn't appeared hardly at all in comics since the title he was in was cancelled in the '80s; was referred to in 52; not a human being.
Not Speedy, not Jimmy Olsen, not Bat Lash, not Jonah Hex, not El Diablo, not Electric Warrior.
Another hint (which contains other hints in it): unlike the other members of the super-team he belonged to, he turned out to be something of a legacy superhero.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You have stumped me, even with all the hints.
All I can think of when I think of this question is that Robby Reed the original Dial H for Hero always said "Sock-a-McGee"
[ December 22, 2006, 10:02 AM: Message edited by: Quislet, Esq. ]
Posted by walkwithcrowds on :
Okay, if I try list any cancelled 80's teams I can think of it might help somebody think of an answer. You said he was refered to in 52 so it must be a DC character.
The Outsiders Night Force Suicide Squad
Oh! Deadshot!...or is that too cliched
[ December 22, 2006, 12:17 PM: Message edited by: walkwithcrowds ]
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
But he also said the character was not human.
Posted by Matthew E on :
In fact, none of the team was human.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Oooh! oooh! Mr. Kotter! Mr. Kotter!
Would that be Fastback from Captain Carroy and His Amazing Zoo Crew?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Fastback (the grandson or great-nephew or something of DC's golden-age funny-animal superhero The Terrific Whatzit), is correct. (There was a Fastback Bus Lines, or something of the sort, in 52, with a logo that resembled Timmy Joe himself.)
Go ahead.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Whew! It was that last clue that gave it to me.
OK, name the four teams Red Tornado (John Smith, not Ma Hunkle) has been associated with.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
I only know of three. the 4th must be fairly recent.
JSA JLA Primal Force and I'll guess... the Outsiders?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You got three (and I thought Primal Force would be the tough one) But when was Red Tornado associated with the Outsiders?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Okay: Justice League, obviously, and Justice Society before that. And, I think I recall, Young Justice. So that's three. Was he also on some kind of elemental team with Swamp Thing and Firestorm and like that?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Didn't see Kent's guess. So:
JSA JLA Primal Force Young Justice
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
quote:Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.: You got three (and I thought Primal Force would be the tough one) But when was Red Tornado associated with the Outsiders?
I dunno. That one was a complete guess. I haven't followed Outsiders since the 80s, and knew there were different versions, but didn't know them all.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
You have it Matthew.
There was a time when Reddy was made into an elemental like Firestorm, but they never were a team.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
It seems like everyone at DC was an elemental for 15 minutes. Even Brother Power The Geek was a "puppet elemental," of all things.
Posted by Matthew E on :
What superteam is composed of the following heroes:

Here's an easy one: What is Samaritan's alter-ego?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Not that you sound like you need confirmation, but Threshold is correct.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I recognized the character as from Astro City but didn't remember his alter ego. Given the date of this thread, I looked it up.
It is Asa Martin.
New question:
What was supposedly included in the ink to Marvel Premiere #50 circa 1979?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Blood of the members of the band KISS?
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Mark Gruenwald's ashes.
I'm just kidding.
Hmm... was it Alice Cooper's blood?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
It was Alice Cooper's blood.
Although now that I think about it, I am not sure that was the rumor and it was the blood of KISS in the KISS comic book and there was nothing special about the Alice Coopr comic book.
But seeing as it was the Alice Cooper comic book and not the KISS comic Book, Kid Prime has the question.
Posted by Kid Prime on :
We all know the Ultimate version of Nick Fury is based on Samuel L. Jackson. But what Hollywood star was the original Nick Fury based on?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Hmm do you mean Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD or Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos?
Going with the Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD, I'd guess Sean Connery
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Nick Fury, agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.. (from the 60's)
Sorry, but no.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Dean Martin? he had a series of spy flicks, IIRC.

Posted by Xben on :
Elongated Man?
Posted by Kid Prime on :
Bat-Mite?
Posted by Xben on :
Good thinking! I think you must be right...
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
nope. It was a more-or-less human character, who generally did not team up with other heroes.
Besides Superman, I know of only one other series-starring character who has met/teamed up with the character I have in mind.

The Phantom Stranger? Nah he teamed with many other series starring characters.

I had to look this up: I remembered where Charlotte Braun was from but I didn't remember what her deal was.
Anyway, she appeared in Peanuts (as a counterpart to Charlie Brown: Charlie/Charlotte, Brown/Braun) and her schtick is that she was really loud.

In one issue of Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew, in the lettercolumn, they printed a drawing one of the fans sent in.

Jeff Smith?

Nope.

There were two umpires - Uncle Sam was behind the plate and Amazo was in the field.

Who was Dan Kingdom?
Star of the adult film "Kingdom Comes"? (based on the DC mini-series with a similar name)
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
nope. except for reprints, he hasn't appeared since the 70s (as far as I'm aware).
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Was he one of the original "Secret 6"?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
nope. HINT: he was cloned.
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Manhunter?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
no, but he appeared in a Manhunter story, and he was cloned by the same people who cloned Manhunter.
Posted by Blacula on :
Sportsmaster?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
no, his masked persona was rather unmemorable. I'm not looking for a code-name, just a brief description of his niche in two superheroes' (one of whom has been mentioned) lives.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
I'm not going to be around much the next few weeks, so I'm giving it to Drake because (1) he was closest with Manhunter, (2) I've obviously chosen too obscure a topic, despite his story being prominently reprinted every decade, and (3) he's put the most effort into trying.
Dan Kingdom was one of those disposable "good friend"s of Batman who get killed off in their first appearance (a la a Mike Hammer best friend), but he turns out to be alive and villainous at the end (his clone was the body dumped), and fights Batman while Manhunter saves the day and dies in the process.

Thank a summary Astonishing Spider-Man (UK reprint title) ran of the 70s clone story when they reprinted the Clone Saga for me knowing about Punny & Tarry . I'm not even sure they mentioned the other two.
Okay, what were three of the following five stats about Penance [of Gen X] meant to be before Larry Hama &^*^ed everything up?
(A) name (B) age [relative to M is acceptable ] (C) country of origin (D) powers (E) reason she couldn't speak
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Speaking of Penance, she just popped up in "Loners" #2. Wonder how many of these stats are going to change again?
Posted by Reboot on :
quote:Originally posted by DrakeB3004: Speaking of Penance, she just popped up in "Loners" #2.
Yeah, I know. What do you think prompted me to think that question up?
quote:Originally posted by DrakeB3004: Wonder how many of these stats are going to change again?
All and none. Basically, under what Hama established (and none of this has any bearing on the above questions), Penance was the real M and her little sisters were impersonating her; they then swapped so that M was herself and the M-twins were M [the original plan for M was for there to be no real M, just the M-twins]. Jay Faerber then removed the M-twins from Penance while still leaving a Penance. Indications are that he was planning to move it back to something more like Plan A, adjusted for what had happened since, but he was removed from the book for the Counter-X fiasco soon after; which summarily took Penance out the book (although the post-Ellis Gen-X writer, Brian Wood, did briefly angle for a Penance Mini).
Now, the Loners writer, C.B. Cebulski, has said that he's going to make Penance a host body permanently (with the codename "Hollow" to go with it), and Penance III is an extant character has replaced the M-twins in there. Which I think is a pity, and they should have gone to something like plan A.
Now, answers for the "plan A" questions please

(A) name - Yvette (B) age [relative to M is acceptable ] - jeez, can't recall. 16? (C) country of origin - Yugoslavia (back when it was a country) (D) powers - also can't recall. (E) reason she couldn't speak - deaf-mute girl.
I think I might have gotten it, but I admit that its close.

Yeah, you got those three, so you get it.
The other two were:
Age was listed as, and I quote, "a very hard 14" (M, for the record, was two years older at 16, which obviously got ignored) And Powers were twofold - firstly, her skin constricted so tightly around her so as to atrophy her muscles and make the skin incredibly hard and sharp, and this was enabled by "negative energy" absorption, which kept her in shadow regardless of lighting ala Nightcrawler.

Same here. Don Allen's middle name is Wallace. Does Bart have a middle name? If he does, I wasn't aware of it, ditto Jenni.
Posted by Matthew E on :
The other person is someone who's regularly appearing in a mainstream DC comic right now.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Is it one of Wally's kids? I don't recall ever knowing their names.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Whom did Wally marry, anyway?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Linda Park (not the one who appeared on Enterprise)
Posted by Matthew E on :
Don't forget that in addition to naming the two characters (which we're getting somewhat closer to), you have to identify their exact family relationship. (There was an adoption in the middle of the family tree structure that links the two characters; you can mention that or disregard it as you like.)
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
OK, I see on Wikipedia that one of Wally's twins is named Jai. So the two people must be Dawn Jae Allen and Jai West.
And the relationship between them would be that they are first cousins, once removed. (Barry and Iris are Wally's uncle and aunt, which makes Dawn Wally's first cousin, and Jai's first cousin once removed.)
Posted by Matthew E on :
Umm... yeah... no, that is right. Why did I have them as second cousins? Oh well. Go ahead.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Why should Impulse not have been allowed to join the Teen Titans, but was properly a member of Young Justice?
Posted by Reboot on :
Because he was under five (as, indeed, was Superboy).
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Correct, Reboot (good point on Superboy; I guess I was just thinking "Flash family" after the last question).

Flash Gordon?
Posted by Reboot on :
Nope. AFAIK, this character has only ever appeared in comics of one sort or another.
Posted by Reboot on :
Another clue - this character is currently headlining a comics series...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
What company produces this comic?
Posted by Reboot on :
Marvel...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
OK my last guess for this question.
Black Panther
Posted by Reboot on :
Nope (don't think T'Challa ever thought his dad wasn't T'Chaka....)
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Scott Summers?
Posted by Reboot on :
Nope (must have missed that Cyclops series...)
I'll just give it and let whoever wants to take the next question. It's Star-Lord.

Who were the first two superheroes to team-up in the Brave & the Bold? Meaning the super-hero pair, not the JLA or the Teen Titans appearances.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Doctor Fate and Hourman?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
As far as I can tell Dr. Fate and Hourman never teamed up in The Brave & the Bold.
Posted by Matthew E on :
Actually I remember such a story--it had Dr. Fate, Hourman, and Green Lantern (Alan Scott) against Solomon Grundy. And it was in The Brave and the Bold. But I couldn't tell you if it was first or not. (I had this comic book when I was about five or six.)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I did some looking. The Hourman/Dr Fate team-up was in Showcase, not the Brave & the Bold. also it happened 2 years after the Brave & bold team-up I am thinking of.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Ah, my mistake. I knew the Dr. Fate/Hourman team-ups preceded the Starman/Black Canary ones, and I'm certain that those were in Brave and Bold. But I don't think they're the first.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Hint time: Both heroes were members of the Justice League at the time. And Batman is not one of them.
Posted by Reboot on :
Ohhh... Martian Manhunter & Zatanna
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
One correct. Note: "at that time"
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Martian Manhunter and Flash?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
The same hero is correct. His co-star is not.
There is a web site that shows all the Brave & Bold covers.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Martian Manhunter and Green Arrow?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Those would be the two. In Brave & Bold #50.

Posted by Matthew E on :
There was a fairly recent DC comic book in which the title of the story (not the title of the series, but the title of that issue) had a double meaning: it was a pop-culture reference to the contents of the story, and it was also a reference to the new artist for that series, coming aboard that issue. (This is the actual title of the story I'm talking about here, not just a cover blurb or anything.) I thought that was really interesting because I've never seen such a meta reference in a comic-book story title before.
What's the series, and who was the new artist?
Posted by Matthew E on :
Hint: the pop-culture reference I mentioned was, specifically, a Bugs Bunny reference that related to the basic plot of the story.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
I think you might have stumped us, Matthew.
Posted by Reboot on :
Unless Mark Bright was the artist, leading to a "What's Up Doc?" title, I think you'll need a new Q...
Posted by Matthew E on :
The comic was Blue Beetle. The issue in question had Jaime and co. traveling somewhere, and they called the story something like 'Shouldn't Have Taken That Left Turn at Albuquerque'. And it was the first issue for artist Rafael Albuquerque.
Anybody can ask one.
Posted by Reboot on :
A Captain Marvel v3 issue footnoted a fake issue*. What was it?
*NB: No, the unpublished Captain Marvel v2 issues referenced from v3 don't count - they were plotted out at the time. This is an issue which only existed in a one-page flashback in a CMv3 issue.
Posted by Reboot on :
No-one's going to get it, are they?
It's Small X-Pectations, an X-Men/Micron[aut]s crossover. Captain Marvel v3 #6.
Next question open to whosoever shall ask.
Posted by Matthew E on :
What commercial product (type of product, and brand name) did Mr. Miracle endorse during the JLI era?
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Oreo Cookies?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
It was some type of detergent, I think. Sudsies?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Wasn't it called "Miracle Mister", and it was some sort of cleaning product, IIRC.
Posted by Matthew E on :
CMK basically has it: it was a plant mister (i.e. a spray bottle used to spray a mist of water on plants) called the Miracle Mister.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
At one point in Fantastic Four history, Reed Richards needed Galactus's help, and offered, in exchange, to free Galactus from his promise to not eat Earth. What villain's threat led Reed to make such a dangerous offer?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
The threat of the Sphinx.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
You solved my riddle, Lance - next question to you.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Ok, here we go...
Superboy had a lamp that would blink when he was being summoned. There were usually three parties that could summon Superboy; however, the writers were inconsistant so there are actually more than 3 answers. Anyway, who could summon Superboy by making his lamp blink?
Posted by Matthew E on :
I believe:
- Chief Parker - the President - the Legion
Posted by Lance's realm on :
The first 2 are correct, but the Legion was one of those that was mentioned only occasionally. No, there was a third party who was almost always mentioned as being able to summon Superboy. Next question goes to whomever can name the third party.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Ma or Pa Kent?
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Prof. Lang?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
That's it, KK. Professor Lang could contact Superboy by blinking his lamp. The other answer was the Pentagon, and there might be other answers too. Take it away!
Posted by KryptonKid on :
Where was Barry Allen being held captive before his death?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
He was held by the Anti-Monitor. Was it at the end of time?
Posted by KryptonKid on :
He was held by the Anti-Monitor and tormented by Psycho Pirate, but it wasn't at the End of Time.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
that was in Qward's anti-matter universe.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
I was looking for the name of the structure, which was the Fortress of Qward, but you mentioned the important part. Give it, Kent!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
In the 80s, DC had a number of science fiction/science fantasy miniseries and maxiseries that did not tie into regular continuity at all.
The cast of one of those maxiseries (12 issues) recently made an extremely brief cameo in a Legion-related comic book (not the main books). Name the maxiseries.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Spanner's Galaxy? (The Legion-related book you're referring to is Brave and Bold # 6, right?)
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
B&B #6 is the issue I was thinking of, but Spanner's Galaxy is not the series in question. I don't remember Spanner's Galaxy among the vast array of images of which I am referring to, but could have been.
Anyway, Spanner's Galaxy only ran 6 issues as I recall, not 12. So close, but no cigar!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
no takers?
one hint: think Blackhawk, but in space.
If no one even guesses by the end of Sunday, Nov. 4, I'll let someone else post a question.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Blast it, I know the image of guys you're thinking of, but I'm having a hard time remembering their name.
Space Devils? Was that it?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Sun Devils. Close enough!
Chaim's turn!
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Sun Devils, right.
Between them and Blue Devil, you can bet there were a lot of college sports fans working for DC in the mid-1980s.

As far as I know, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen featured Wilde creations, but not Wilde himself.
Starman is correct. the other answer I am looking for has never been a DC or Marvel series.

Yup, your turn, Kent
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
okay, Silver Age question:
What comic book character is based upon cartoonist Ramona Fradon's brother?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Marvin from the Superfriends?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
no, a character who existed before that.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Aqualad?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
no.
Aqualad predates the character to whom I refer by several years... but still closer chronologically than Marvin.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
The "Dial 'H' For HERO" guy?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Nope. The character in question originates just slightly before that, and although an irregular supporting character, he has had many more appearances (at least into the 1990s) as far as I know.

Based entirely upon this post, Snapper Carr?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
no... this character is not generally associated with JLA, but may have made appearances during an era I didn't follow.
He is a supporting character of one specific super-hero; both he and the hero (and the other two prominent members of the supporting cast) were created at the same time.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Java, from Metamorpho's series?
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
Tom Kalmaku?

Chaim has it!
Java is based on Ramona Fradon's brother; I've heard her say it herself (Even before I'd heard that, her singer/songwriter daughter Amy's description of her uncle corroborates).
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Ramona Fradon's brother looked like a Neanderthal? Or just acted like one? (I'm picturing John Candy in Uncle Buck)
In any case: Name two comics about football player-superheroes.
Posted by Matthew E on :
NFL SuperPro and Alpha Flight (because of Sasquatch)?
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
One out of two.
(A number of characters played football in their past - including Ben Grimm. In the two I'm referring to, the football is a defining aspect of the super-hero title.)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
NFL SuperPro and Booster Gold
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Chaim- I gather, based upon what I'd heard, he had both physical and behavioral traits that led to the caricature. Hairiness was one of several characteristics, but not the only one.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
I'll give it to Quis, I hadn't thought about Booster that way, but he certainly fits the bill.
The other one I was thinking of was Kickers, Inc. (from Marvel's New Universe)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Hmmmmm...
What is the significance of Codsville, Maine?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Is that where the original Doom Patrol died (pre-resurrections and ret-cons)?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
That is partly correct. That is the town with a population of 14 that the Doom Patrol saved by choosing to die instead of saving themselves. The Doom Patrol weren't actually in the town.
According to the Wikipedia article, the town renamed itself "Four Heroes" in their honor.

Dollar Bill got shot trying to stop a bank robbery; his cape got stuck (in a door, I think).

That is correct. or at least what I remember.

Who is the first character not usually associated with Batman to have dialogue in Miller's The Dark Knight Returns? Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Lana Lang?

Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
I am assuming that you mean previously published characters and not characters created for The Dark Knight Returns.

In a Detective Comics story from the 60's, Batman was in a bind, and left Robin a clue in a will. The Villain-du-jour's name was based on the amount of money left to Dick Grayson. What was the significance of $10.66?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
1066 is the year William the Conqueror invaded England and won the battle of Hastings. Am I correct in assuming the villain's name was William Hastings?
Posted by Xben on :
Wow, if you got that right, Quislet (I have no idea) than you officially qualify as an old comic-style Batman-level detective. It seems he was always figuring out highly detailed things based on loopy obscure clues.

Precisely. Old. Chum! There's. No. Other. Possible. Explanation! Posted by Arm Fall Off Boy on :
