Yup. Kevin has a magical baseball bat that is a stand in for Excalibur.

Over to you Ibby!

ooh, sounds cool!

Okay, let's see...

Which Young Justice member "died" during the Our Worlds at War event?

I have the Young Justice run, but haven't read it since it ended. And since "died" is in quotes, was it Secret, I believe her name was. Killed by Harm, her ...brother? And then "died" again? Going on pure memory and guesswork here.

good reasoning rick, but nope

Arrowette?

Nope either.

Arrowette and Secret were both present, though.

They were mentored by Red Tornado weren't they. He had a habit of seemingly dying and returning. Was it him?

Nope, either.

Which Young Justice member "died" during the Our Worlds at War event?

Not:

Secret, Arrowette (though both were present during the incident), Red Tornado

Looking back at the issue, there are actually two characters who could be the correct answer

Empress?

Nope

Impulse?

Yes! Impulse was one of them. He developed the ability to manifest "speed clones", which were versions of him created from the Speed Force. One of these "clones" died on Apokolips, sending Bart into a coma and making him give up heroing for a while.

Little Lobo was the other correct answer, beaten to death by a bunch of parademons. They didn't realize that each drop of blood would regenerate into a completely new Lobo... and the army of Lobos overwhelmed Granny Goodness and the Female Furies, allowing the rest of Young Justice to escape.

In an Avengers/Avengers West Coast Annual story, the Grandmaster plays a game against Death to win immortality for himself and other Elders of the Universe. In this story, the Avengers are forced to fight against a team of dead Marvel characters. Of the 15 members of this group, at least four were later revealed to have never been dead (several of the others were genuinely dead and were resurrected from the afterlife. This question refers only to those whose souls were revealed, retroactively, to have never departed their bodies). Who were these four?

Sentry
Mockingbird
Bucky Barnes
Wonder Man

Hellcat
Swordsman
Nighthawk
Doctor Druid

Bucky and Nighthawk are two of the correct answers.

Sentry wasn't yet introduced; Mockingbird, Wonder Man and Doctor Druid were alive and active on the Avengers side of that battle; Swordsman has remained dead, and Hellcat (whatever her status was at the time - I think she was alive and married to Daimon Hellstrom) was not at all involved in the story.

Jessica Drew
Uncle Ben?


Hm, I have nobody else to guess at the moment

Captain Marvel
Dracula

Jessica Drew was alive at the time, and Uncle Ben wasn't involved - he wouldn't have made much of a fighter against the Avengers - and anyway, he was never revealed as alive. Captain Marvel and Dracula were both on the team of the dead, but both were genuinely dead and any subsequent appearances were in the afterlife or of their having been reclaimed from the afterlife.

My lack of Marvel knowledge is hurting me here. Hmmm....

Mimic
Machine Man

Mimic was not in the story, and Machine Man was alive (and also not involved).

Hmm....

Jim Hammond
Magneto

It might not have been the answer to this question, but I'm chuffed to have got two that were there.


Baron Zemo
Jocasta

Baron Zemo was one of the dead in question, but was never retroactively revealed to be alive. Magneto was alive at the time. Jocasta was not in the story, and neither was Jim Hammond, who may or may not have been considered still living at the time, depending on how one views the Vision.

Summary:

Bucky
