For the record, I got the answer correctly earlier in the thread but told Edie to not count it in a PM because I stumbled on it so clumsily. First of all I had never heard of the "Pentateuch" before, so I looked that up. Then, I just typed in "Deuteronomy" on Wikipedia, and "Duck" popped up on the scroll-down. A click revealed an article on Donald's nephews and listed Dewey's full name. (For some reason I can't explain, I immediately gravitated to Deuteronomy over Leviticus. Maybe somewhere in the bowels of my subconscious I'd heard Dewey's full name at some point--no idea!)
There's no rule that I've seen about using these methods to get an answer here, but it just seemed such a waste of a perfectly good question, especially when I had no inclination whatsoever from the start. I often use Wikipedia for questions here, but only to fact-check certain guesses I've had, for example to make sure Character-X debuted in the '40s and such.
I'm glad Edie got the mileage he deserved out of the question...and I look forward to whatever puzzle Miner throws at us!
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

Wow, I thought for sure it was some scientist character named "Numbers" (like "Big Words" from the Newsboy Legion) but had no idea where I might find him.

One of the reasons I excluded nicknames is because I was sure there would be a character who goes by "Numbers", even though I couldn't think of any.

Something else else tells me that this question won't be quite the mind-bender that the previous one was, but it's all I've got at the moment:
Who once overcame a challenge by using the ability to feel colors?

I'll think on this one for a while and get back to y'all later with a question.

Okay, here's a decent question that continues the Vertigo theme a bit:
In the Vertigo series Sandman Mystery Theatre, Wesley Dodds encountered several other Golden Age heroes throughout the series either in or out of costume. Among the ones to appear were future fellow JSAers Starman, Hourman, Wildcat (as Ted Grant), Spectre (as Jim Corrigan) and Doctor Mid-Nite (as Charles McNider).
Name the two other Golden Age costumed heroes who appeared during the course of the series. (Please, no internet research of the series itself or thumbing through the actual issues in the spirit of the game!)

Sandy may or may not have appeared, but I'm pretty sure he never appeared in costume unless it was in a dream sequence. Blackhawk, however, is one-half of the answer! Just need the other half....

Originally posted by Sarcasm Kid: No! Damn it, the Crimson Avenger. Is this allowed? I'll allow it, since you didn't formally submit the Flash as a guess (even though he wasn't mentioned). Blackhawk and Crimson Avenger are correct! I guess I had the (mis?)fortune of having a fellow SMT fan online just as I posted the question. I was hopin' for a teensy bit of mileage outta this one... Your go, Sarky.

I'm sorry.
Okay, in one of the X-Men comics, before Scarlet Witch depowered nearly everyone, what was the name of Gambit's squad of students at the Xavier Institute?

Hm. Wikipedia's inconclusive, but among his listed affiliations are the Crimson Pirates. Is that it?
