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

Pixie?

Wallflower?

Pixie's a great guess, but not the answer. Don't believe she clocked much to any time in the Young X-Men series.

Wallflower isn't correct either. She has sadly passed on (barring resurrection crossovers, of course).

Let me rephrase my previous hint a little to help: The character was a member of both the New X-Men and the Young X-Men.

Hint #3: The character was created by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir and debuted in the second volume of New Mutants. The codename in question was supplied after the character had debuted in publication.

Another hint in the hopes to not kill the thread.

Hint #4: Despite being a member of both the New X-Men and Young X-Men, this character was not a founding member of either team.

Surge?

Nope! Not Surge.

Hint #5: When the students were broken up into squads during the early New X-Men days, this character was on the team called Alpha Squadron mentored by Northstar.

Rubbermaid?

Not Rubbermaid, either! She was RIP by the time Young X-Men rolled around.

Hint #6: The character originally wasn't supposed to live long enough to get a codename. The writers had originally intended to have the character commit suicide in a particular story arc, but editorial intervened and that aspect of the story was scrapped (resulting in delays for a few issues).

Oh, despite never having read an issue of X-anything in my life, I think I remember reading that last anecdote somewhere. I can picture the character (I think) you're talking about - but I'm not sure of his/her name.

Is it Anatoli or something?

Haha. Very close on the codename, Blacula, at least letters-wise! You're probably thinking of the right character.

A little bump to see the question through, now that we're so close. Still looking for the exact codename.

The correct answer isn't: Elixir, Rockslide, Dust, Pixie, Wallflower, Surge, or Rubbermaid.

Hints
- The character is still alive.
- The character was a member of both the New X-Men and the Young X-Men.
- The character was created by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir and debuted in the second volume of New Mutants.
- The character was not a founding member of either the New or Young X-Men.
- The character was formerly on the training team Alpha Squadron mentored by Northstar.
- The character was intended to commit suicide, but editorial intervened and the story was scrapped.

Hint #7: The character once lost an arm fighting in the dimension of Limbo. It's since grown back.

well, I had looked it up. It is Anole.

Anole's the answer! Before he was a main character in the new class of X-characters, he was simply Victor the green skinned lizard dude. Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir were active message boarders at the time with their fans and took Victor's codename from a fan's suggestion.

All yours, Quis.

Bump for quis.

Ok, ok, ok, It's only been one day

Who is the biggest man in Tinytown?

Stumbo?

Yup, Stumbo the Giant lives in Tinytown.

Wow...that was from memory. I had to reach waaay back to my days of reading Harvey comics. Ok, new Q as soon as I think of it.

OK, off we go...
