you got it!

Hal was the first hero revealed to be turned. When Andrew Bennett came to warn the Justice League, Hal revealed himself and murdered Andrew... plus witness Zan.

Some of those calamitous "imaginary" stories can be quite intriguing but I haven't read the vampires one.

Let's try this.

When and why did Suprgirl "kill" multiple copies of herself?

sometimes I do get a weird fascination from seeing how bad these stories can get! and am glad that they are not in continuity

re Supergirl, did it have to do with an illusion?

CMK has it.

I was perhaps cheating a bit since most would naturally think of Kara, but yes this was from the post-Crisis era where Supergirl is an artificial protoplasmic being from the Pocket Universe, and is in a relationship with Lex Luthor Jr, the supposed long lost son and heir of the original deceased Lex Luthor.
Decades past but if anyone didn't know Junior was actually the original Lex's brain in a cloned body.
Matrix discovered that Lex had used samples of her protoplasm to create numerous copies of herself, several distorted in disturbing weaponised ways. The clones appeared not yet "born" and in a rage at his apparent betrayal Matrix destroys them.

Your turn CMK.

Oops, neglected to check this thread after posting - and it's been idle for almost a month!

Which super-villain became a supporting character in Blue Devil's series?

hah! lucky guess - I do remember Trickster turning semi-good around that time

ok...

in the Death of Superman, Doomsday begins his rampage by killing some innocent forest creatures. Name one of the two species we first see him kill.

Being a Superman fan helps.

During Blok's tryout facing a room full of massive cylinders trying to crush him, he succeeds by simply walking through and the test is powerless to stop him.
What non-Legion character faces a similar challenge and again succeeds by simply walking through without being stopped?

It was Kitty Pryde! She closed her eyes and just walked from one side of the Danger Room to the other smile

Yay raz! As it happens I had read the Kitty Pryde story before I read the Blok story and the comparison struck me instantly. The cover date of the two comics is only a month apart with X-Men #141 being January 1981 and LSH #272 being February 1981, so it appears that similar ideas just happened to occur to the various writers.

If everyone kept thinking of other strong unstoppable characters I was going to give a clue of their power sets being almost opposite, but raz didn't need that clue!

Take it away raz.

I had no idea Blok and Kitty got introduced so close together! For some reason I always thought Blok came along much later! Good pick, stile! smile

While we are on the topic of similarities across different comic book companies....one writer took his pet character's story across THREE separate comic book companies. Who was the writer, which comic book companies were they and who was the character?

I figured Marvel and DC would be the easy ones, but good work remembering Eclipse as well!

Thanks, Raz. FTR, I almost used the DC version of Mantis (Willow,) in a fan fic. I might still do it someday. smile

Question: In the original West Coast Avengers miniseries by Roger Stern, Bob Hall, and Brett Breeding, which villainess did Tigra disguise herself as in order to help defeat Graviton?

That would be cool actually, I am into it!

I feel like Tigra might have been Madame Masque? It's been a long time since I read the original mini, but that rings a bell!

Thanks for the encouragement, Raz. We shall see. smile

And your guess is correct -- Tigra was disguised as Madame Masque!

The floor is yours! smile
