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

Good job raz. I had no idea. Good question Chaim and interesting plot.

Wooh! I knew when you said the Statue of Liberty had significance it must be about Johnny, that's their regular date spot

While we're on the FF, here's one for their 4.5th member...who gave Franklin Richards his first superhero codename?

One of the Power Pack?

Bump raz

Oops sorry thoth, I missed this...thanks stile!

It was one of the Power Pack, but which one?

Um....
Is one called Katie? I'll try that.

There is a Katie and it was her!

Here is a not great quality scan of how cute they were together



EDIT: all yours thoth!

Whew! I've just googled to find out the names of the others. Katie has appeared elsewhere I think. In X-Men and in an alternate future story with the new mutants. So, that's possibly why I could just about remember her.

Power Pack appeared in one of the UK weekly comics I got as a kid. I remember it, because I wasn't sure why I liked it. It was certainly a much softer toned story, with younger protagonists, seemingly aimed at a younger audience. So, it was an outlier in my diet of action, war and superhero comics.

Looking back, a lot was due to the lovely Brigman art. But it was a story with interstellar scope and family bonds and squabbles offering a different set up to other titles.

I doubt the weekly comic got past the first storyline, and it's a title I've not gone back to.

New Q soon.

The first couple of years of Power Pack was awesome stuff!

There are a lot of great comic book artists but I can't think of one who draws kids (or space horsies) better than June Brigman. She also gave all the kids distinctive and unique power signatures which has been lost these days.

Bog was great when he was on the title too, but nothing beats the first couple of years of Power Pack. Sadly it kinda became generic superhero soap opera towards the end and then just outright bad.

Yeah, but then Weezie & June came back for the 1992 Power Pack Holiday Special and fixed everything.

Yes! I almost included that in my summary actually

I also like the Gurihiru stuff later but it doesn't feel the same.

What was the reason the first Infinity Inc was formed?

To fight the JSA who were being controlled by the stream of ruthlessness?

I was looking for what made them meet and stick as a group that led into them being together for the stream of ruthlessness story.

Didn't they get together to apply for JSA membership?

I thought similar to EDE except that they ended up forming a group because the JSA wouldn't let them in?

I think stile has it

Bump Thoth

Well EDE got the start of it while stile added in the detail I was after. Normally, they would have to fight it out in Khundian combat courts. But whoever gets here first with the next question can take it.

thanks thothy. to keep this going again...

easy one, I hope. when Superman died fighting Doomsday, which two heroes are shown arriving at the scene too late to help?

Maxima and Ice?

you have one correct!

Ice is one. I think Maxima was too beat up from her previous fight. Was the other one Martian Manhunter in his Bloodwynd guise?

you got it stile, great memory! yup, Maxima was too beat up - so Ice and Martian Manhunter/Bloodwynd were the two on site. along with Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen.

During Crisis how did Lex Luthor of Earth-2 die?
