Yeah, I thought the name would be related to the powers. But I don't know that many X-Men characters, so if this character is a villain then I probably won't be able to guess.
Northstar?

Hint: The reason for Marv having to rule it out was that this character appeared around about the same time as the planning for the Titans.

No to Northstar though.
Hint: It's a more central character than that.

Is that the New Mutant? Not her.
Combining the hints would give... Which central X-Men related character was introduced around about the same time as the relaunch of the Teen Titans under Wolfman & Perez?

Yay! EDE gets it. The next hint was going to be "You may not know her under this name."
Ariel was a contender for Starfire's name before Marv realised it had been used elsewhere. Even though it had moved on (Sprite? then Shadowcat) he wanted to use something else.
Over to you EDE.

Well, I was planning to use this for the Non-Legion Comics Trivia thread, but it works well enough here as well.
So, the Teen Titan Terra is from Markovia.
What three countries border Markovia, per its early appearances?

Zandia is an island, so no. Vlatava is also incorrect, as is Latveria (though Markovia and Latveria were apparently combined in the Amalgam universe).

None of those countries shares a border with Markovia. Though if we were doing Latveria, you would've gotten two right!

I wonder how many of the correct answers are real-life countries, hmmm... 1) Modora 2) Bialya 3) Poland Yay! EDE gets it. The next hint was going to be "You may not know her under this name."
Ariel was a contender for Starfire's name before Marv realised it had been used elsewhere. Even though it had moved on (Sprite? then Shadowcat) he wanted to use something else.
Over to you EDE. I wonder why Ariel was a contender for Starfire's code name. The only Ariels I know are the Little Mermaid and the one from the Tempest; the latter of which kind of makes sense for Kitty Pryde, but doesn't really seem to fit Starfire's powerset.

0 correct.
DC has quite a few fictional countries, doesn't it?

Yes, I'm getting surprised by how many countries I can recall! Though most of the others seem to be in the Caribbean or in the Middle East...
1. Kasnia 2. Pokolistan 3. Russia

None of those. Incidentally, Bialya is also in the Middle East.

Yeah, I realized that after I'd guessed Hmm, I can't think of many more fictional DC countries... Two of these were on Earth-2, let's see if they were on Earth-1 as well. 1) Bulgravia 2) Toran 3) Galonia

Hmm, I can't think of any other fictional countries in the DCU. Could these have been shout outs to other fictional universes?
For now though I'll guess some real-world countries.
1) France 2) Italy 3) Germany
