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

Grodd was a major player in the SSOSV.

It is definitely not someone obscure, as you say.

Darkseid?

Catwoman?

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.

When she worked for HYDRA, the goal of Spider-Woman's first mission was to ...

...kill a defecting Hydra agent?

...find, kill or subdue the High Evolutionary?

Kill Nick Fury?

Cobie got it ...

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.

Random guesses -

Young Romance (Charlton)
Young Love (Fawcett)
Strange Love (Charlton)

Dude. No shot unless I websearch it!

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.

OK (with a bit of help from Wikipedia) -

Young Romance (Crestwood/Prize Comics)
Young Love (Crestwood/Prize Comics)
Heart Throbs/Love Stories (Quality Comics)

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

They each have a "secret origin"?

Yessireebob! They were the only Legionnaires to recieve a solo story in the Secret Origins title.

(I think that's what you meant right, EDE?)

Anyhoo, next qestion to you.

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.

I'll bite. Jonah Hex?

Johnny Thunder

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.
