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

You are right! It appeared in Batman #511 before Superman gathered all the heroes together (including this Batgirl) in the main series. I had forgotten that.

Paladin

thanks for the bump up stile I suggest we wait a week and see...

I sent Lardy a PM reminder suggest we wait a week and see

Oh! Didn't realize I was "right" on this one! Sorry, gang!

Let me think about this, and I'll have something very soon, 'kay?

ok by me, thanks Lardy and no worries, I've needed a few prompts myself re giving the next Q

Okay, maybe an easy one or not...What cool piece of technology debuted in a magnificent double-page spread, only 2 and 3 pages into Jack Kirby's legendary Fourth World run?

Boom tube?

^ that sounds right!

That was the obvious answer, but...nope!





And yet it isn't!

Mother Box?

I actually think thoth is right but just to be contrary I am gonna say Metron's Mobius Chair

Nope and nope.

Hints to come, if there are more wrong guesses.

The Super Cycle?

Orion's Astro-Harness thingie?

this also sounds right... I remember the Forever People were among the first to appear...

I will be something from Jimmy Olsen's adventures, as I'm fairly sure that's what Kirby started on.

That big white flying "car" that Jimmy and the Newsboy Legion flew around in?

I think that's it stile. I remember going "and just what's this thing?"

Kirby and his own Legion

thoth was on the right track, but stile nailed it! It's called the "Whiz Wagon", btw, (stile, you only get a B+ because you didn't know it's moniker ) and it is featured in all its glory in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #133, the beginning of Kirby's defection to DC and the unofficial/official beginning to his Fourth World saga. (IIRC, there's either an allusion or even a direct name-drop of Darkseid even in that issue.)

I first encountered the Newsboys and their vehicle when they appeared sometime into the post-Crisis Superman revamo, but I was blown away by how Kirby drew the Wagon when I cracked open my Fourth World Omnibus! I stared at that spread for a good long while and even flipped back occasionally to gape some more! Kirby's Fourth Worl artistry is some of his very best, for sure!

So, Mr B+...yer up!

Really good Q, Paladin. We'll recalled, stile!

Indeed, what thoth said

Of course it was the Whiz Wagon! Mental blank. That is a great spread image. Great question Pal.

I think this will be an easier one.
Darkseid is of course a major foe these days in the DCU. What other two characters, one from DC and one from Marvel, are sometimes thought of as "copies" and can you name the single artist who created both of them?

Definitely Thanos and...Mongul maybe? And the crestor would be Jim Starlin

That's who I was thinking of. Take it away raz.
