Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The NON-LEGION comics trivia thread!!! Round two

I just noticed the post count in the old thread. Hence that thread is now closed and this brand new spiffy thread is open in its place.

What was the name of the orphanage that Supergirl lived in when she first came to Earth?

Midvale orphanage?

Yup. I knew it would be an easy question. You're up!

Who was DC's then-currently published biggest player (most would agree, anyway) who made absolutely no appearances in Crisis on Infinite Earths?

Swamp Thing?

Swampy was at least mentioned, and probably did appear.

I assume you mean the main mini, as opposed to x-overs/tie-ins?

Arak, Son of Thunder.

I do mean the main miniseries only. This character did feature in tie-ins.

I'm pretty sure Swamp Thing does put in an appearance. I don't know about Arak, but the character I've got in mind is certainly a "bigger player" in the DC world than Arak is.

A hint is that this character is still published regularly today.

Hal Bloody Jordan, yes?

Yeah, that's it. Hal Jordan doesn't show up in a single panel of Crisis on Infinite Earths. John Stewart was the current Green Lantern at the time, but I still found that strange.

Maybe Marv Wolfman just saw sense?

ANYway...

What was the colour scheme of Warren Worthington III's first in-continuity costume?

Black and yellow, like the other original X-Men.

*loud siren*

Nope, you fell straight into the heffalump trap.

What, you can't seriously be referring to that white sheet he used in his origin story (when he tried out his wings to rescue someone from a fire) as a "costume", can you?

No

I'll guess red & yellow

Nearly...

green and yellow

No

Okay, clue: I'm looking for THREE colours, not two.

red, white & blue?

Nope.

Red, blue and yellow?

Ngggghhh... I'll give you it. I was looking for red, *black* and yellow, but the colouring when Neal Adams dug it out for a couple of issues ([Uncanny] X-Men #60-62) often made the black look blue, as was the way of things back then.

It originally came from the Origins backups of Uncanny #55-56 (Chaim stopped an issue early ), where he had a short-lived and fairly catastrophic turn as "the Avenging Angel".



[X-Men: Evolution revisited the concept later, giving him a black-and-red masked costume.]

Anyway, Drake gets the next question.

Cool. I had seen the Adams version, but not the earlier one. (makes me wonder what he had in that big pouch on his belt)

NEXT QUESTION (two-parter):
Which villains did Iron Man encounter during the storylines that introduced his stealth armor and space armor, respectively?

I remember this being the Armor Wars story.

Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man (Gremlin).
