Black Canary?

Nope

Lois Lane?

Nope, but you are on the right track with your Lois Lane guess, stile!

Whose fake-diamond wedding ring eventually helped overthrow a dictator?

Hint 1: the Lois Lane guess is on the righ track

Not:
Black Canary
Lois Lane

Lana Lang?

Sue Dibny?

Iris West?

Inza Kent?

CMK has it! it was Sue

Sonar was trying to win Sue?s heart, and threatened to kill Ralph (Elongated Man)

Sue pretended to go over , but left Ralph a real diamond wedding ring as a clue. Ralph deduced that Sue was pretending because the wedding ring he gave her was fake diamond, but their love was real. so a real diamond meant fake love

Sonar was so thrilled by this that he believed Sue was telling him the truth, despite supposedly being able to use his tech to tell if someone were lying. and Sue was also a really good actress

always loved the Sue/Ralph dynamic, and how Sue played such a key role in the League

Sorry for the delay - Passover means a lot of off-line time. Just ask Colossal Boy!

The climax of Marvel's Annual "Evolutionary War" event happened, interestingly, in the Avengers Annual of that year...when the Avengers team had just disbanded in the regular monthly book! Who summoned the Avengers to action in that Annual, and which five Avengers (or "Avengers", in one case) answered the call?

Hope you had a good Passover, CMK!

Summoned: Nick Fury?

Great Lakes Avengers (based on your "Avengers" in on case" line)
Hawkeye
Thor
Iron Man
Wasp

None correct, and the Great Lakes Avengers aren't the reason for the quotes. In fact, I'm rather certain they debuted after the aforementioned issue.

Jocasta called the team together


Who answered the call:
1. Hulk
2. Hercules
3. Falcon
4. The Captain
5. Beast


I can almost remember the story... almost

Correct...in fact, more than correct. I'd forgotten about the Falcon. The one who I remembered (and you didn't, but I only asked for five) was the one who I referred to as an "Avenger" - the female Yellowjacket, who wasn't really an Avenger but who acted as one in the story.

Oh right! Yellowjacket - forgot about her

New Q up in a bit

Hmmm guess I remembered more than I thought...

Which Marvel hero jumps in front of Bruce Banner in order to save him, sacrificing their life in the process, at the end of World War Hulk?

Hawkeye...?

Rick Jones in his latest heroic ID?

It is not Hawkeye
It IS Rick Jones as.... Rick Jones. He's actually non-powered and just wants the Hulk to calm down.
When Hulk reverts to Banner, one of the Warbound tries to attack him to get the Hulk back. Rick jumps in the way, taking a fatal blow.

Over to you, Thoth

An assist to that Excalibur issue that had an alternate Rick Jones try and become the side kick to everyone in the Marvel Universe. I've only ever read a couple of Hulk issues. Very early ones.

Over in the Legion rereads, BION, who has the power of the entire Legion is fighting Laurel Gand.

But here, The Super Adaptoid, with many of the Avengers powers, is battling the team in Central Park. How do the Avengers defeat the foe who has all of their powers?

They disband the Avengers?

OK, I know that was a Morrison plot for helping the JLA beat Amazo, but...

This was from an early Avengers story with Cap's Quirky Quartet wasn't it? Can't remember the ending.
Overload him because they all attack at once and he can't switch fast enough?

Hex bolt from the Scarlet Witch?

stile for another win. Super Adaptoid overloaded trying to use all of the avengers powers at once. He'd absorbed Thor and Iron Man's powers in this one. His costume changes when he does it, which was a nice touch. In this case his head got little Thor wings and he had to visit the doctor due to rust problems.
