Basically, it works like this: you name an obscure superhero, and the challenge is for everyone else to identify who it is, what book or movie or comic book or TV show or something else that superhero can be found in.
Example:
If I named 'Stupendous Man', someone could get the right answer by saying, "That's the superhero Calvin pretends to be in 'Calvin and Hobbes'."
Ground rules: if you're sure you've got the right answer, you can just go ahead and ask the next question. Or you can wait for confirmation if you need it.
Here we go:
Lady X.

Cool game, Matthew E. All I can offer right now is a random guess. Is Lady X an ally of Space Ghost?

Nope.
Hint: despite the name, she's neither a Marvel character nor a mutant... but there is nevertheless a connection between her and the X-Men.

Well, this game doesn't really seem to be taking off, so I'll just give the answer:
Lady X is the superhero in the TV-movie 'Model By Day', starring Famke Janssen (the future movie Jean Grey).
If anyone wants to keep this game going, go ahead; if not, we can just let it drift to page 2 of the forum.

That's Quick-Draw McGraw's superhero identity.
This one oughtn't to be too hard:
Mr. Furious.

Nope. It's from a cartoon which normally does not include super-heroes...though there are two super-heroes who are recurring characters.

No, but interesting you should mention swimming, as the cartoon this is from is set underwater.

No. I'll go one last hint: It's from Spongebob Squarepants, in one of the episodes, Spongebob and his pals, to help Mermaidman, took on the identities of "The Justice League of Super-Acquaintances."
Anyone want to guess which one of them was the Elastic Waistband?

I've heard of Captain Nice!
I just don't know anything about him. I know he's an older character. Probably pre-1970s.

well I cheated a little....when I googled it...and clicked on the link and there was a couple of things that surprised me. Hmmm, never knew that the name of a certain JSA member was used on the TV show competing against Captain Nice and Batman - Captain Nice is so nerdy that makes me giggle.

Superboymddjr,
Tell us what you found out about Captain Nice. His alter ego & the actor who played him.
Then the next one is yours.

Oh, cripes, if nobody else will do it then I'll look it up.
(pause)
Captain Nice was the title character on an NBC show of the late '60s. His secret identity was Carter Nash and he was played by the guy who was the voice of KITT on Knight Rider.
Next question:
Who is Deadly Girl?

Nope. (At least, that's not who I'm thinking of; I'm not familiar with Billy and Mandy.)
