Grodd was a major player in the SSOSV.
It is definitely not someone obscure, as you say.

Darkseid was another major player in the early issues of the book.
The answer is Catwoman. I don't think DC ever explained why she was pulled from the book.
You're up, BB.

In the middle of the Silver Age DC had no less than 7 Romance Titles. Of the 7, four were originally published by DC, and three were originally published by other comic book companies but later bought out by DC.
Name the three originally published by other comic book companies and which companies originally published them.

Blacula, while you're heading in the right direction and some of your answers are correct in title, none of them are correct in publisher.

Correct! When DC purchased Quality Comics, Heart Throbs was one of four titles they continued to publish, making it 5 romance titles. Years later in the mid Silver Age, they purchased the two most successful romance titles of all (created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon), Young Love and Young Romance, making their total number of romance titles a whopping 7.

OK I'm gonna cheat a bit here and ask a Legion question (only because I've had one in mind for a little while but I never know any of the answers in that tough thread ) - What do the following Legionnaires have in common that their teammates don't have? Bouncing Boy Ferro Lad Phantom Girl Chemical King Shadow Lass and Karate Kid

I actually wasn't certain if they were all actually featured in the Secret Origins title, but I knew several of them were, and I thought you might be including the Adventure Era "Secret Origin of Bouncing Boy" story. But then I looked it up and realized BB was indeed feature in SO.

Next question:
Spurs Jackson and his posse finally caught up with what hombre in their final apperance?
Note: Googling "Spurs Jackson" will probably reveal the answer to this pretty quickly, or at least major clues, so I'd prefer you avoid it for the time being.

Without looking it up -
Jonah Hex seems too obvious, though the posse/hombre thing could be a red herring, but I'll just go ahead and randomly guess...
Bat Lash.

Nope.
Clarification: Spurs Jackson is actually the hero of the series. In his final appearance, he and his band of vigilantes finally managed a showdown with a notorious desperado that he had been pursuing.
