Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Comic Book quotes

Well it was said by Bobby Drake, aka Iceman.

Someone post something?

Okay, here's an old one:

"There he is! Still slumbering, as he has done for ages... The largest living thing in all the world: the deadly Giganto!"

Bruce Banner?

Calybos, I'm betting it's the Sub-Mariner that said that. Cause he called up a creature by that name (sort of a giant sperm whale with legs) to attack humanity, when he was tricked into believing the "surface dwellers" had destroyed Atlantis.

Correct. All the way back in Fantastic Four #6 it was.

Your turn, Seth.

"What happened to him? Is he dead? Naw...we couldn't be that lucky!"

Is that the Black Canary talking about Guy Gardner??

You got it! Your turn, now...

Wow Drake! Very good!

Next quote:
"Mind you, I can't say much for the volume's condition. I mean, there's a hole in the jacket and the spine appears to be damaged."

The Joker, referring to his then-latest victim, Barbara Gordon.

Jack Knight Starman?

Lucien from Sandman? (Although I suspect Seth has it)

Yep -- Seth's got it! Joker from "The Killing Joke" referring to Babs Gordon.

I suspected that was it, cause I got the clue from a fanfic I once read. Barbara was angsting about how she was only called on, and needed, as Oracle. So was that all she was now -- a reference book with a hole in the spine?

But here's the next quote (two speakers):

Speaker 1: Tell me... which is more precious? The can of tuna or the diamond necklace?

Speaker 2: Don't be absurd. The jewels, of course.

Speaker 1: Not here. You can't eat diamonds.

Since no-one's tried to guess yet... I'll say it's from DC Comics, in one of their late 90s crossovers.

Ah ha! The quote is over a week old - so by the rules of the game I am usurping! (Not to be too blunt, Seth, but if a quote is a week old and has had zero guesses, more hints are certainly called for. I hope I am saying this diplomatically enough.)

OK, here we go with another great quote! This one is kind of vague, so hints will follow.

"I thought becoming a costumed criminal would put me on easy street! I was wrong! My overhead is staggering!"

Well I'd thought that bumping the thread too much was rude. If I have to keep giving hints about what I'd been lead to believe was a major storyline, it felt more like I was leading people around than having them think for themselves.

The answers for the quote were Penguin as the first speaker, and Catwoman as the second. The dialogue itself was from Catwoman #76, part of the "No Man's Land" storyline. I'd thought someone had read it? That and the next issue were a good summary of not only Catwoman's methods, but also her personality.

vague hint: it was Spiderman villain who said it.

bigger hint: the reason the villain's overhead was so high was because of a metal he liked.

even bigger hint: the metal was gold.

This villain apparently took his name from a story by Poe.

Oh I know it is Gold-something. Goldface is Green Lantern. Goldfinger is James Bonde.

Gold Bug?

The Raven?

The line (which made me chuckle out loud when I read it) is indeed the Goldbug. You're up, Quismaster!
