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

No.

The answer is in the John Ostrander Spectre series. Said host became corrupted and became a Spectre villain.

Can't say more without giving it away entirely.

OK - I've never read the Ostrander Spectre series so I'll stop making random guesses now.

Eclipso

No, not Eclipso.

OK, doesn't look like anyone's going to get this. The answer is Asmodus, or his original name, Chakara.

New question: What new name was taken by the villainess Mindboggler after the death of her body?

Was it Djinn?

Very close. She was sort of the successor to Djinn in the Jihad, but her code name was in fact different.

Ifrit? (or somesuch)

That's the one, Chief. Your turn.

Nice! I'm surprised I remembered that one so quickly as I haven't read those old Suicide Squads in a long time!

Here's one I've been itching to ask for awhile but haven't won a question in so long that I've had to hold on to it:

Amid all the advance publicity for the new AMC series The Walking Dead, it's been leaked that there's at least one small Easter Egg for fans of Robert Kirkman who created the comic the series it's based upon. One of the characters will sport a t-shirt bearing the symbol of another character Kirkman has worked on. Which character is it?

This can either be incredibly easy or incredibly difficult, depending on whether you've read the same articles I have and/or whether you're intimately familiar with Kirkman's work. Good luck!

The Invincible lead character? Is he called Invincible?

He is called "Invincible", but that's not the correct answer.

Haunt?

The Astounding Wolf Man?

Nope and nope. Hint: This character has appeared in Invincible.

Atom Eve?

Brit?

Nope and nope. It wouldn't be unusual for Invincible himself to wear a t-shirt of this character or, like, have a poster on the wall.

Omni Man?

Not Omni Man. To recap:

Also, Kirkman co-created this character with Invincible artist Cory Walker, and the character has had a series of regularly (though far-apart) scheduled backup features.

Science Dog.

That would be the correct answer! Did ya catch the t-shirt cameo tonight? And what made the answer click for you?

Here is the source article, btw. Timely question, eh?

Oh, and to explain Science Dog a bit...he's a comic book character (a comic within the comic) in Invincible's universe, kind of like Radioactive Man is a character that Bart Simpson reads about. Invincible had a poster of Science Dog in his room in the early issues. Every 25 issues, Kirkman and Walker do a Science Dog backup story, all of which will soon be collected in a one-shot.

So far, Science Dog doesn't actually 'exist' in Invincible's universe as anything other than a comic book character, though in one issue, an alien took Science Dog's form after reading Invincible's mind and thinking he would find the form non-threatening.

Once you gave the Corey Walker hint, I knew immediately because I know that much being a fan of Kirkman. But I then kicked myself for not realizing it sooner.

My question: if you count accidental occurrences and very brief stints, who were the 2nd and 3rd people to take up the Iron Man armor?
