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

Not being really up on Marvel, I wondered if Justice being on the team was related to his alternate self from the future, but I don't know if that was part of any plots.

I can't say I was a fan of him on the team really. It was something different, and there was an arc of him proving himself. But the "gosh, I'm with the avengers" was tiresome from the start.

I thought Quasar was picked as he was one of the few who could hold off a crowd of mind controlled Avengers.

Would also explain why Thor and Monica were among the chosen

before I forget... next Q is...

in a What If story, Operation Galactic Storm went bad - Earth was blown up. Only a handful of Avengers are shown surviving Part 1, merging with the remnants of the Shiar Imperial Guard.

But two Avengers somehow died off-screen between Part 1 and Part 2. Who were these two?

Thanks to Fickles' reread, I've at least some idea of the Team, or this could have been really random.

Black Widow
Sersi

nope and nope, both of them clearly died in Part 1

Gru wrote Quasar in his own title very much the same way he wrote Steve Rogers, so it made sense to me that he was one of the core Avengers that broke free of the Morganverse brainwashing - all of them are at their core characters who do the right thing for its own sake, and aren't superheroes to avenge the night or redeem themselves for being a Russian assassin or whatnot (of course, Bendis made the entire Marvel Universe one big sinkhole of cynicism once he got hold of it but that's a whole other story really....)


I actually am not sure if I've read this! But I'll guess Wonder Man and the Vision!

nope! Vision "died" by offering himself to store some stolen tapes/data... it overwrote his personality. Wonder Man's body was blown to bits in the final battle, but they managed to save him by downloading his personality into the Vision's body!

Magdalene and Crystal

also no. Crystal showed up alive and well in Part 2, even being one of the few survivors at the end of the story

Magdalene presumably perished along with Earth.

hint: the first part of the story ran the same way the original Operation Galactic Storm did, with the Avengers splitting into three groups...

Quasar and Hercules?

also no, Hercules died in Part 1. Quasar survives until Part 2.

bigger hint: the two characters who die off-screen were on the Shiar Imperial Guard mission.

Living Lightning and Eric Masterson?

Living Lightning is correct! Not Eric, he played a key role bringing reinforcements from Asgard.

who is the other one?

Way too long since I read that story to remember who was involved at all, lo and behold who was on what team.

Wanda?

also not Wanda

recap

In a What If story, Operation Galactic Storm went bad - Earth was blown up. Only a handful of Avengers are shown surviving Part 1, merging with the remnants of the Shiar Imperial Guard.

But two Avengers somehow died off-screen between Part 1 and Part 2. Who were these two?

*the two characters who die off-screen were on the Shiar Imperial Guard mission.

One is Living Lightning

Who is the other?

Not:

Black Widow
Sersi
Wonder Man
Vision
Magdalene
Crystal
Quasar
Hercules
Eric Masterson / Thor
Scarlet Witch

I think the only other one I remember from the Shi'ar team is Starfox! Was it him?

nope also not him!!

there is a very key team member from the Shi'ar team who has not been guessed... think, who could have LED the team?

Wasp?

also no.

(another hint: those chosen to go to space included Reservists; and were chosen for their powers and space experience)

Starfox
Wasp

Starfox/Eros?

nope

Jack of Hearts?
I know nothing about him, but didn;t he come back from space in a she-hulk comic not that long ago?

Moondragon?

I am trying to remember who led the Shi'ar team, I am pretty sure Cap was with Iron Man on the Kree homeworld....was it Monica Rambeau?

raz has it! It was Monica - considering she was a former team leader, I guess that's why she was the leader (and the writers wanted Cap and Iron Man on the same team for drama, of course!)

I think Black Widow and Wasp/Hank were also potential leaders, but all 3 were left behind on Earth.

over to you raz!
