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

I'm sitting this one out, as I have never heard of Grimjack unfortunately.

Not British.

There's a clue in the original question:

Hmm. A clue in the question.

Old West might suggest a US citizen but that would be too obvious in light of the question. That was why my first guess was Mexican.

Femme Fatale doesn't really help much as that could be from anywhere.

Spook suggests ghost or spy - or ... I just googled it and discovered that it can also be racial slur against those of dark skin colour (something I never knew) so perhaps somewhere in Africa or maybe the Caribbean.

Let's try Jamaican?

French?

Actually, that was the clue! Femme fatale is a French term.


Which means that Thoth has the right answer.

Missed it by this much! Femme fatale has become such a well used borrow term in English that I dismissed it. Silly me. Well done Thoth and thanks for the question and clues Ann.

BUMP thoth lad

Who were the members of the Lady Liberators? and who was really behind them?

Haven't the foggiest...

Maybe Foggy Nelson and the Mist?

The Lady Liberators were: Valkryie, Scarlet Witch, Medusa, Black Widow, and Wasp.

But then Valkyrie turned out to be Amora the Enchantress in disguise. She was behind it all along.

Ann gets it comprehensively in one. Over to you Ann!

In the 1978 JLA/JSA team-up, the teams met five DCU heroes/anti-heroes from various points in the distant past. Who were these five historical characters?

Cinnamon
Shining Knight
Vandal Savage
Jonah Hex
Viking Prince

'78 seems a bit past the cast of thousands team ups. Into Conway territory....

Jonah Hex met the JLA a few times. Grim Ghost, Black Pirate, Enemy Ace and um... Viking Commando?

Ibby correctly guessed Jonah Hex and Viking Prince.

Thoth correctly guessed Black Pirate and Enemy Ace, and Jonah Hex again.

So I'm going to give it to whoever guesses the fifth character correctly.

To recap:

In the 1978 JLA/JSA team-up, the teams met five DCU heroes/anti-heroes from various points in the distant past. Who were these five historical characters?

Four of the five:

Jonah Hex
Enemy Ace
Viking Prince
Black Pirate

Not:

Cinnamon
Viking Commando
Grim Ghost
Vandal Savage
Shining Knight


This was early in the Conway era, when the book was still oversized; this was also Conway's first JLA/JSA team up.

I know we kind of differ on the cast of thousands team ups, Thoth. As always, that's a good thing. Keeps these forums lively.

Warlord of Skartaris?

Tomahawk?

Not Warlord or Tomahawk, but Thoth is *very* close.

Aaaaaaaargh! Right, where's my thinking beanie... The one wrapped in who's who covers....

Arak, Son of Thunder?

Not Arak.

Hint: The fifth one is female.

And a reminder that Thoth was very close to the right answer with Tomahawk.

I know it's not Miss America. But someone like Miss America. And who's also married to Tomahawk. Mrs Hawk.

Miss ______ is not a Freedom Fighter, but her name is synonymous with freedom.

Miss Legislative Assembly Liberty?

Mainly as there was a Liberty Belle. I don't recognise the name, and I'll have read the issue more than once.

Miss Liberty is indeed her name. Her first appearance was in "Tomahawk" issue 81, August 1962.

Next question's yours, Thoth.
