You'll be lucky if we can name three Gilbert & Sullivan collaborations without looking for answers.

OOOPS!  I just realized that my challenge is invalid! (I was thinking of Patience, Iolanthe, and Princess Ida, but the female romantic lead in Iolanthe is actually Phyllis!) New Challenge: Name 3 characters voiced by June Foray (preferably from 3 different cartoon series).
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

John F Kennedy Bill Clinton Theodore Roosevelt Now, I'll go check to see if I am correct. And I was correct. Kennedy was born in 1917 and began his presidency in 1961, dying in 1963, before he reached age 50. Clinton was born in 1946 and began his presidency in 1993, thus under 50 years of age when he started. and T. Roosevelt was 43 when he became president. Source of info White House biography site So name 3 characters Casey Kasem provided the voice for.

The Scarlet Letter
The House of Seven Gables
The Blithedale Romance
Here's mine; this one's been burning a hole in my brain for a while.
Name three DC Comics superheroic characters who have taken their superhero codenames from the last names of famous scientists*.
(I know of exactly three. There may be more. The three I know of are not currently appearing in any comic book, and two of them are out of current continuity altogether (edited to add: Wait. I'm not sure. Maybe all three of them are out of current continuity altogether). One's famous, one's not famous but any longtime DC fan should know of him/her, and the third is actually pretty obscure but, I'm sure, not unknown to the denizens of this message board.)
*using a comfortably loose definition of 'scientist'

No takers on this? Hint.
The three scientists I'm thinking of are (in chronological order of the DC superheroes' first appearance):
an 18th-century Swedish astronomer, remembered for a contribution he made to physics
a 20th-century Swiss psychiatrist
a 19th-century English mathematician/computer scientist
I really want someone to get the answer. I think it's a cool question.

Ok, Celsius must me another, but I have no idea who the Swiss psychiatrist is. I really can't think of any superheroes named Jung or Rorschach or Binswanger.

I knew Babbage without any research - one of the benefits of being a computer science major. I found Celsius with just a little help from Google, and I am still not sure which of the 3 psychiatrists I mentioned is a superhero. Anyway...
Name 3 girlfriends of Johnny Storm.

I just have to chime in here to say Rorschach was one of the "heroes" in WATCHMEN. He was the only one I could think of when this question was proposed.
As for Johnny's girlfriends:
Doris Evans
Frankie Raye
Crystal

Assuming JS's GFs are correct, we're waiting for HWW to post the next category.
