Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Non-Legion Comics Trivia Thread, Pt. 3

Still not close. The thing they have in common is very specific, something anyone might notice if they were paying attention.

They... Have the same oddly-shaped birthmark?

They share the same birthday?

They are both Professor Zoom in drag?

What was Joan's maiden name? Is it something to do with that.

They're both named after points of a compass?

Nope, none of those. Ibby's last guess is the closest, as it's something you can see....

Same hair colour?

They don't age like others due to proximity with the Flashes in their lives?

They both have the same hair color as their husband's mom?

Nope. Nothing to do with hair.

Same eye color as their husbands?

I'm not sure it's terribly Flash related, but I did notice they were both women.

Both married their superhero husbands...but didn't wear a wedding ring!

Nothing to do with physical features. thothkins, however, is on the right track....

there's a track? Here, in this puzzle jungle?

They both married their superhero boyfriends, but kept their maiden names?

They have the same middle name?

Still not correct. Basically, it was something I thought was so cool from one of the earliest Jay/Barry crossovers that I just knew I had to use it! Admittedly, it was probably never referenced again, but just knowing this warmed my heart a little. It's a fairly simple thing that the two Earths' existence makes possible, something that ties the two Flashes together in their defining romantic relationships.

They... had the same engagement/wedding ring?

YES!

Flash 151 opens with the already-engaged Barry and Iris happening upon a jewelry store when Iris finally spots the ring of her dreams, their having held off on getting one until she does. Unfortunately, when she's about to try it on, it disappears into a black ooze! Barry is unable to retrieve the ring, and the jewelry is mysteriously robbed clean by unstoppable shadowy wraiths.

Barry recognizes an odd vibration to the creatures. Analyzing them, he realizes that the Shade, a villain of Earth-2 that he and Jay had previously fought, was behind the wraiths. He resolves to go to Earth-2 and enlist Jay for help. Barry also wonders if there's an Earth-2 duplicate of the ring Iris wanted. It was apparently one of a kind, so he reasons the only alternative might be to find its double on Earth-2 if he can't retrieve it from the Shade.

However, when Joan answers the door, Barry immediately notices that the engagement ring Joan wears is that exact double! Luckily, Jay and Barry defeat the Shade and are able to retrieve all of the loot, including the ring! So Iris and Joan have the exact same engagement ring!

I thought that was neat as hell and very serendipitous considering the JLA Idol outcome!

(See how close you were, thoth! )

On to you again, Ibby!

Wow! What a sweet, awesome story to the marriages of the two Flashes . Thanks for sharing Lardy, that made my day.

New Q up soon!

Just Imagine...Barry Allen raiding the multiverse for special artefacts that he can then flog on Earth-1. "Why on Earth-Conned they have no need for these giant gold toys they make for fun..."



Yet so far away at exactly the same time

When Ralph Dibny thought Sue was pregnant, what names did he choose for their future kid?

Give one male name and one female name (there are two correct answers for the female name).

Barry? Iris?

Nope!

Ralph and Kara!

Ralph is right! He wanted to name his son "Ralph Jr.".

But not Kara (unless he wanted his daughter to grow up with terrible mood swings brought about by diet soda...!)

Ralph and Sue?

That would have been cool, but no. Let's just say that Ralph was a bit more self-centered than that.
