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

Wooh! I didn't think of Monica because she hadn't really been doing much by that point....and also her powers are pretty similar to Living Lightning's so it's weird they'd be on the same team (unless this was that weird period where she became basically a flying brick)....anyway, while we are on the Avengers:

Which founding member of the Avengers had an immediate distrust of Spider-Man when they first met, and what was the reason behind it?

Captain America, because... um... Spider-Man wasn't ... uh... public with his identity?

yeah, I was surprised at first reading that Monica was leader of that squad, but then I learned about her past team history

can't remember for sure what powers she had at that point though!

Iron Man because...um...he insults him as a Tony Stark paid enforcer?

I had thought of Monica but I disregarded her as I thought this was during her drained/powered down phase after killing Namor's mate (what was her name?) but I guess I got the timing wrong.

As for the founding avengers, wasn't it Wasp who just thought spiders were icky?

re Wasp, wow that actually sounds right! I now seem to recall a panel with her saying, wasps and spiders are natural enemies!

It was the Wasp!

I will give it to stile as it was basically because she thought spiders were icky, but it was specifically that bit about wasps and spiders being natural enemies that I was thinking of

(which to be honest is probably the closest thing Stan gave her to a unique personality trait outside of being weirdly horny for everyone for a female character in the 60s)

ah well, it was a start to her characterization

nice going stile!

Thanks Ibby. You kindof deserve it yourself because your answer was more accurate.

Good Q raz. I reread some early avengers in recent years and (almost) remembered it.

Continuing with the Avengers, they are using a modified Quinjet to attempt to penetrate a bubble of time apparently created by a renegade Celestial that has destroyed everyone else who approaches it. However all is not as it seems as they are actually being mind-controlled - but by who?

thanks stile, but I only recalled it because you triggered a memory teamwork!

re renegade Celestial, uh... Red Skull?

I remember this one! It was Nebula, and Shulkie nearly killed her when she got unbrainwashed! (although she later ended up being Kang's ex Ravonna if I recall my convoluted timey wimey stuff correctly)

Spot on raz. Yes she at first appeared to be a female Kang amongst the huge council of Kangs, but later revealed herself to be Nebula in the form the Avengers had previously encountered in space claiming to be the granddaughter of Thanos, and in this form she used knowledge and technology stolen from some of the Kangs (using her womanly wiles) to mind control the Avengers and attempt to enter the Bubble of Time. She failed and was lost in the improbability regions around the bubble until later encountering the Fantastic Four there (both the Avengers story and the FF story were written by Walt Simonson) and only much later in a Mark Gruenwald story was it revealed that she was not in fact Nebula but an alternate version of Ravonna who was now his sworn enemy. Gotta love comics.

Your turn raz.

whew all these retcons make my head hurt lol

Dear Sentients,
This is ridiculous! Our tax money is going to that Time Institute. And there they are, selling off time machines to alternate universes. They don't even care who knows! Expecting people not to spot a Time Bubble, by calling it a Bubble of Time. That Rond Vidar is no better than his dad, if you ask me.
Yours sincerely,
Enraged from Rimbor

I'm gad things have improved on Rimbor, now they actually pay their taxes!

Okay, I got one for y'all!

Besides the fact that they are all ladies, what do Marvel Girl, the Invisible Woman, She-Hulk, Storm, Scarlet Witch, Dagger and Andromeda have in common?

ummm have they all gotten married at some point?

Did they all wear costumes that at one stage showed their belly buttons?

This is actually SO close to the answer, but no

You know what, they probably all did at some point or another but that is not the connection either

so close to the answer! ahh!!

they're not all mothers I think... ah, let me think about it a bit more!

They all appeared at the wedding of a certain character?

They were the seven "Brides of Set" in the Atlantic Attacks storyline.

Of course! Chaim displays his marvellous memory again.

not gonna lie, with "Andromeda" I was thinking of our very own Laurel Gand lol

Got it in one!

And I almost put in an Andromeda disclaimer, but it was too late by the time I thought about it haha
