On the topic of GA heroes, which pair of DC characters were irradiated while working on the Manhattan Project, so that they had to spend 35 years in an underground bunker?

A revision of TNT and Dyna-mite? It is indeed TNT and Dan the Dyna-Mite, as per Super Friends #12 from 1978! This was the first time the characters had been seen since their relatively short GA run! Over to you thoth!

Thanks. I first saw them in All-Star squadron, and didn't know they'd been published a few years before.
In Alan Davis' The Nail, who was revealed to be the main villain?
For those who haven't read it, the nail in question punctures a tyre on the Kent's truck. They choose not to go out, on the day Kal-El's rocket lands.

I read it too, but struggling to remember... I think Ollie Queen was one of the villains, but maybe not the main?

It is not Lex Luthor. The plot begins to suggest he will be, but he's a pawn of someone else.
Ollie Queen was badly injured in a JLA battle. The trauma turned him against his colleagues. That supported the narrative the main villain wanted out there.

It was Jimmy Olsen!
He received powers after other parties experimented with the rocket they found, on Olsen's already (Elastic Lad/ Turtle Boy) altered genetic structure. For a moment there was a tease of it being Starro, that turned out to be a mutated Krypto.
Over to you Ibby!

I gotta read this again!
I remember the Olsen twist... that was fun!
ok let's see...
in JLA/Avengers, which two heroes thought dead, actually survived - and ended up saving the day during the final battle?

In the JLA’s 200th issue, the story featured seven fights between a founding member of the team and a post-founding member. One of these match-ups had the founding member fighting two non-founding members. Who were the heroes in that fight?

Black Canary and Green Arrow were the non-founding members; they fought Batman, and it was all beautifully drawn by Brian Bolland. Ollie was actually not a member at that moment, he just tagged along. But by the end of the issue, the others convinced him to rejoin the team.
JLA 200 is one of my favorite superhero comics ever published.

Yeah, they had separated due to a difference over helping Thanagar. Agree with Fickles. It was some comic.

Correct, Ann! It's one of those perfect anniversary issues, up there with LSH # 300. However, I'm pretty sure it was Trevor von Eeden who drew the Batman vs GA/BC chapter.

It was Brian Bolland.
My question:
In one of the most celebrated issues of Peter David's first X-Factor run, each team member has a therapy session with Doc Samson. During Quicksilver's session, the feisty speedster puts together all the pieces of a puzzle. What animal is prominently featured in the puzzle?

Pig?
Trevor Von Eeden drew the GA mini around that time. The GA back up strip in Detective too, I think. But not in #200.

A snail. That was brilliant stuff by Peter David.
Guess I was wrong about the artist on that chapter. Guess I was thinking of one or more of the stories Thoth mentioned.

It was indeed a snail, and I agree, that was brilliant of Peter David.
You're up, CMK.

Sticking with Peter David...in Young Justice # 2, Young Justice saves Ali Ben Styn and he promises them anything they request as a reward. Impulse, true to his name, runs forward and makes the request. What did he ask for?
