Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly I'm thinking of a DCU character...

Hint: This is not a particularly obscure character. He starred in his own feature that ran for roughly twenty-five years at DC.

Yes.

Did this character star in his own title, as opposed to being the backup feature in another title?

Yes, basically.

Does your character use an artefact?

Were this character's adventures set in the 1950's or earlier?

Not entirely sure what you mean, but there is a manmade object that plays an extremely important role is his adventures.



Yes.

Were this character's adventures set in the 1930's or earlier?

No.

Is this character a Creature Commando?

No.

Does this character regularly appear in multiple time periods (as opposed to the occasional time travel story)?

Is your character Space Ranger?

No.



No.

Is it Starman?

I'm thinking of a DC character.

This character:

is male.
is a hero.
is a baseline human.
does not use a code name.
has a basic concept associated with him, and others have occupied his place in that concept, one of which has appeared in a title published by Vertigo, and what he shares with these others is a certain title or position.
has a unique ability not shared by most people, but not exactly an inherent super-power, which is neither physical nor mental in nature.
has adventures that very prominently feature a manmade artifact.
is connected to the supernatural.
is skilled in personal combat, but isn't known for a martial art such as karate or judo.
is usually found in the 20th or 21st century.
is primarily found adventuring in either the 1940s or 1950s, and does not normally appear in multiple time periods.
is not a young boy or teen in most of his stories.
debuted prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths, and prior to the last issue of the Legion's Adventure/Action run.
was native to the Earth-1 universe, and to Earth.
starred in his own feature, which was a lead feature rather than a backup, for roughly twenty-five years.
has not, to my knowledge, appeared in a comic published in the past twelve months.
is not normally found spending much time in the water.
is not a blonde nor a redhead, and does not usually sport facial hair.
does not wear street clothes nor a super-hero costume.
does not primarily wear red, nor does he wear purple.
does not wear a cape.
wears a hat of some sort.
is a member of a team of heroes, but not the JLA, the JSA,the Titans, the Outsiders, the Forgotten Heroes, the Blackhawks, the Doom Patrol, the Inferior Five, the All-Star Squadron, the Seven Soldiers of Victory, the Secret Six, the Global Guardians, nor the Challengers of the Unknown.
is not Tom Kalmaku, Doc Magnus, the Unknown Soldier, a Lantern, Crazy Jane, Nightmaster, Space Ranger, a Creature Commando, or any of the Endless.

No.

Is your character part of the military?

Yes!!!

Is it Sgt. Rock?

Jeb Stuart?

Yes! It is Sgt. Jeb Stuart, commander of the Haunted Tank.

There were so many points that I thought you guys were going to circle in on it, and then you kept veering off in other directions.

I had got as far as Sgt Rock before, but connections to the supernatural put me off the military again. I'd thought of Jonah Hex, but he wasn't fighting in the '40s.

I see Ibby came up with Creature Commandos which was a good one. A tank wasn't what I had in mind when I asked about an artifact I think I was thinking about Sargon at that point.

Good question EDE.

The whole title thing threw me off, as did the niche thing and the unique ability thing and the crazy thing. I was thinking more along the lines of a Black Orchid or a Question or a Sorcerer Supreme equivalent in DC! But yes, good question! And thanks for the hint about the team line of questioning not being a very good one.

New character soon!

Creature Commandos was me grasping at straws, thothy

that's why it appealed to me. It's something I do a lot of in the LW quizzes.
