Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Non-Legion Comics Trivia Thread Pt 5

Myg has it - it was Nightwing, who questioned why he suddenly felt like he trusted Faith, despite having just met her.

Ah, I had ruled out Nightwing as I thought *he* would be naturally the best at getting people to work together, so wouldn't need Faith.

I always thought of her as a writer's pet favourite character with mysteries only he was interested in, pushed into a prominent team where she wouldn't normally have stood a chance of membership.

Batman was the one who formed this team, so Nightwing had to work with whom he had - including Faith.

If I remember right, the others were Hawkgirl (Kendra), Green Arrow (Ollie), Etrigan, Major Disaster, Firestorm (Ronnie), Atom (Ray).

Faith was an unknown,newly-created character. Though I have to say, her power scales were off the charts, and I didn't mind having her on the JLA.

Terrax has taken out the New Warriors and Psionex. Who comes to their rescue?

Uh... Moondragon?

The Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer, and Galactus?

Thor?

Not Moondragon nor Thor

Ann has it with the Fantastic 4!

Yay! Thanks, Andy!

I love Fabian Nicieza's New Warriors run.

New question very soon.

New question:

Name the two X-Men event storylines from the 90s, produced only six months apart, where Cable disappeared at the end of the first and returned at the beginning of the second.

Hrm X-cutioner's Song?

That's half-correct, Ibby, because it's only one of the two event storylines I'm asking for.

Also love that run

Yay! partial credit!

I read one part of X-Cutioner's song, so it popped to ind. Unfortunately I never really followed the X-Men, so can't guess more...

Ibby, you're my friend and all, and I know Spaceopoly games are all in fun, but if you didn't know enough about the question to make a full answer, there was really no point in replying. Of course, I forgive you, but I'm just saying.

To recap:



It has already been established, through Ibby's reply, that one of the storylines is X-Cutioner's song.

I will turn the thread over to whoever names the other storyline.

Age of Apocalypse?

Was it the X-Tinction Agenda? Apologies if I'm making up crossovers but it just popped Nightcrawler-like into my head.

Not Age of Apocalypse nor X-Tinction Agenda.

Hint: The title is a pun on Magneto's powers.

Repellent Monthly would have been a Wolvie book, so not that.... thinking …

LOL

Another hint: The word "repellent" puts you on the right track towards the answer, but first you must reverse polarities.

I remember reading something like that, but it would be cheating to look it up! But I remember reading the name before and going "oh, this is so all about Magneto".



Aww but I get partial credit, right? A lot of trivia questions in Spaceopoly turn into "anyone playing just guesses anyone they think could fit"

The hints are making me think... Fatal Attractions?

Yes. The two storylines are X-Cutioner's Song and Fatal Attractions. The first, my favorite X-Men event of all time, and possibly my favorite superhero event ever. The second, my least favorite X-Men event of all time, and the beginning of the end as far as my "real time" involvement in the X-Men. The franchise kinda sorta bounced back with Age of Apocalypse, but immediately after that one, Fabian Nicieza was fired, driving the final nail in the coffin.

Over to you, Andy.

Ahhh yes, the ups and downs of the X-Universe. I managed to stay involved until the Civil War and the reign of Bendis.

Hmmm new Q up in a bit

Well done Andy! I hadn't heard of that one. Before Ann's second hint, I was trying to cram Magneto into Armageddon to give the classic, well remembered X-Event Armagnetton! Rubbish event, but with a good Def Leppard soundtrack.
