Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Non-Legion Comics Trivia Thread Pt 5

Not Sugar and Spike. Really good guess, as around that time DC were working on a kid's line that didn;t come to anything. I saw Sugar and SPike on one of the images that went with the article.


You may have been tired, but you get the right answer! An alternate, space travelling version of Devil's central cast manages to travel into our universe during the Crisis. Now, they might have been wiped by the end of Crisis #10, but so much wasn't. So I reckon there's still a Dan Cassidy, who did not bond with the Devil suit, out there. Always an out for the creators to bring back their version. I know they considered the one that showed up in Starman, and presumably later, as not being the real Blue Devil.

Over to you stile!

wow! what awesome guessing, stile

good Q, thothy!

Huh! Well how about that? Total skill - not. Interesting background Thoth, thanks for that. I haven't rad much Blue Devil, just some early stuff in B&W reprints. Whenever he would pop up in the background in big hero group events I would wonder what happened with him. Very interesting and cool trivia question.

In Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" several Superman related characters are shown. Which member of the Superman family is shown amongst other heroes but only made two prior comic appearances?

ooh good one. but I'm stumped. Superwoman?

That's a good shout Ibby.

I'll go with Perry White's wife.

Ooh I didn't think of Alice White. Good idea, but DC wiki suggests she made a dozen prior appearances.

Yes it is Superwoman-Kristin Wells. Really interesting choice to include her when she had only made the two prior comic appearances in DC Comics Presents Annuals #2 & #4. She was also mentioned in the novel Miracle Monday which was her first "appearance" and is referred to in Annual #2. Also her appearance in this final Superman story is suggested to be evidence that the story occurred on some other world than Earth-1 since she claimed to be a descendent of Jimmy Olsen and he was killed in this story. (Also she is an interesting character from a Legion point of view since she supposedly came from the 29th Century where there were numerous technologies that would make several of the legionnaires powers redundant. Another sort of technology loss event in the hundred years between?)

Your turn Ibby.

huh, cool!

That was a shot in the dark but I thought it might be Superwoman - as someone who had enough OOMPH to appear despite having only 2 appearances!



OK lessee...


Which Justice League member bought a bed for Captain Atom?

Which Justice League member bought a bed for Captain Atom?

Power Girl
Catherine Cobert
Sue Dibny
Metamorpho
Martian Manhunter

I know! (I think.) Crimson Fox?

you got it, stile!

Fox was stopping a crime, and ended up thrashing Captain Atom's bedroom by accident (there was a helicopter involved!) Captain Atom was enraged, and Batman of all people had to calm him down. as a sort of apology, Fox bought Atom a new bed, and left a note "I hope I can try it some time" or something like that. very cheeky and flirty of her... and they made her French too

Crimson Fox was fun character, made even more interesting once it was revealed she was actually twins who took turns donning the costume.

Loki once offered a great gift to a group of humans and mutants which would have spread to the entire human race, empowering them and making them almost gods themselves. Why in the end did they reject his gift?

yeah, Foxy was fun!

Was it because the gift empowered them, at the expense of the health of magical colleagues?

Yes that is correct , if not the whole story. I imagine you are thinking of the same story, the Alpha Flight/X-Men 2 issue series.

Normal humans were empowered in tremendous ways but at the cost of the loss of magic, specifically in terms of magically empowered beings who suffered horribly, and also in terms of the "magic" of human imagination and creativity. For example one of the transformed humans could make his previous dreams of architectural buildings into reality but could no longer create anything new.

Loki had sought more power for himself from beings that were sort of gods to him, and their requirement was that he offer a great gift to humans. When the humans in the end rejected his gift because of the cost he tried to force them to accept it at which the higher beings appeared and chastised him saying that if he had only accepted the humans rejection they would have granted his request.

I really enjoyed the crossover and thought it was a terrific story.
Your turn.

Yes, same story though you remember it much better than I do! (I only read summaries of the issues, not the issues themselves)

take that Loki!

ok let's see...

Magog accidentally blasted someone, and was very unapologetic for it. This led Power Girl to (rather violently) kick him off the team.

Who did he blast?

If you ever get a chance to read it I recommend it. I have the original issues as well as a TPB collecting those and the later X-Men/New Mutants in Asgard story, both great reads.

Is this in Justice Society? I haven't read those. Lets guess Hourman?

thanks stile oh yeah, the story in Asgard is a classic I think!

yes, in Justice Society, but not Hourman!

Obsidian?
