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

Thoth has it close enough.

Yes, the first one was a sock - when he escaped from Arkham, being the psycho that he is, the first thing he did was remove a sock from his foot and make it a hand puppet to talk with, and he named it "Socko."

The second one was a puppet not from Arkham, but from a toy store that he immediately robbed, and was a duck named (I believe) Quacko.

Of course, his real purpose was to look for Scarface, his master. He had Quacko holding a gun and Socko playing good puppet-bad puppet to get a policeman to divulge the location of Scarface. Socko telling the cop, "I can't control him...he's a wild duck!"

Eventually, he found Scarface and discarded the duck, but he kept Socko. Scarface, not interested in sharing the Ventriloquist, uncorked this gem to him: "This guy stinks! You should change your partners more often!"

In the end, Scarface and Socko shot one another, leading to Ventriloquist lying unconscious of blood loss from both his hands and eventually back in Arkham.

Yours, thoth!

And there was me thinking they didn't play it for laughs. Socko and Quacko.
Coming soon to Bits... Socko / Argh!Yll! team up and Quacko's infiltration of the Legion of Super Pets.

Here, a new Q hopefully tomorrow...

What city was destroyed in Marvel's New Universe?

Pittsburgh? I think. Isn't that why they called it the Pitt?

It was and they did. Over to you stile!

In Byrne's retelling of the first encounter between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel, what device does Batman use to stop Superman from arresting him and taking him to the police?

Is that the one where Bruce has the personal forcefield set up to blow up an innocent person if Superman gets too close to him? (and then we find out at the end the innocent person was Batman himself?)

that sounds very familiar!

Exactly what I was thinking of raz! From Byrne's Man of Steel mini-series #3. Great work. Your turn.

Wooh!

Someone convinced the Avengers that they'd been a founding member of the team, who was that character?

Captain America?

The Grandmaster's daughter, though I forget her name. Victory? (Sounds legit, I think the character was meant as a parody of the Justice League character Triumph.)

Sounds right Chaim.

hahaha he might as well be, but no the answer is....


Voyager actually, but close enough! Over to you, CMK!

I knew it began with a V!

When the Thing retrurned to Earth after the Secret Wars, most of Earth's heroes were battling an invasion of Dire Wraiths, but not Reed and Sue Richards. Who were they fighting instead?

Ooh, that's a tricky one - for me at least. I remember the Secret Wars at least and how Ben stayed behind, and his "break-up" with Johnny over Alicia and with Reed over the loss of his human side. Who did they fight? The only one I can think of is that confrontation with Dr Doom that ended in his death (apparently).

Galactus?

Was it Mephisto?

Raz is correct, it was Mephisto! (It actually tied in to the Dire Wraiths invasion, because their evil was powering him, and when Rom and the heroes defeated them, Mephisto's power suddenly dropped.)

Oof good guess! I couldn't think of any other bad guys Reed & Sue fought on their own without the FF there before they joined the Avengers for 5 minutes...

Speaking of which, which villain/s were responsible for Reed and Sue Richards joining the Avengers?

Frightful Four?

Kang?

Not Kang or the Frightful Four!

It was someone who is usually very much NOT an FF villain...

Ultron?

Not Ultron....I might have made this too hard lol

It is a LADY villain (at least partially) if that helps!
