View Full Version : 20 Questions---June 12 edition
Okay, this time there are no Heroclix questions allowed. You can't ask if the character in question has a HC figure or any other HC releated question.
I'm thinking of a character who eventually had his/her/its own comic book series.
Is the character male?
Yes, he is.

Ah, but KalEl never said the comic wasn't published by Marvel or DC, just that they aren't "a Marvel character" (or DC character).
Is the person still living?

Is the person still living?
I think that'd still constitute them being a Marvel character, but I don't think we'll get a clarification on that...
Is the person still living?
No.
8 down. 12 to go.
Was the person alive after 1900?
Was the person alive after 1900?
Yes, he was.
9 down. 11 to go.
Well, that rules out a whole lot.
Did he ever hold a position in government?
Well, that rules out a whole lot.
Did he ever hold a position in government?
Nope.
10 down. 10 to go.
Wasn't really expecting that answer either...
well now, we're at 10, so time to think this over....
Recap:
Male, not a DC or Marvel character.
He's a real live person, but not alive anymore.
He isn't from ancient history, because he was alive after the year 1900.
He is not involved with religion or government.
He got his own comic book series, so his name might be in the title.
The comic book is a fictional work. It is not a biography or fact-book.

To the guessing gallery: I'm guessing Mr. T, is that plausible?

Kalel: was he a regular occurring character on a television show?
To the guessing gallery: I'm guessing Mr. T, is that plausible?
It fits the current parameters. There was an A-Team comic produced by Marvel, but the Mr. T comics are all Indy.
To the guessing gallery: I'm guessing Mr. T, is that plausible?
It's probably is plausible, but it's not Mr. T.

That wasn't a question for you, that was a question for us. Cheater!!!
Kalel: was he a regular occurring character on a television show?
Yes, he was.
11 down. 9 to go. (Okay, okay, I won't count the Mr. T question)
Well, I'll be fair. At this point, I'd be asking if it was Mr. T. So you should just deduct us a question at this point and we'll call it even.

Nah, it's okay. I think I'm gonna stump you all this time around anyways.

My heirs will point out the difference between "your" and "you're".
Thawmus, I missed the whole "the person is dead" part. Mr. T is still alive.
Kalel, was the character a professional athlete?
I have so many good questions to ask at this point, but they're terrible questions for the last 10 questions. :disappointed:

Can I get clarification on something without it being a question? Can I ask if you would count a character played by a living actor as a real person? Like, would you count Spoc as a real person? Can I ask that without it counting? Can I? Does this post count as 5 questions? I mean 6?

I won't count them as questions. To clarify. the person is a REAL-LIFE person who appeared in a comic book as HIMSELF.

EXCELLENT question Anonym0use!
But, before you say Vincent Price, I don't see that he had a comic book at any time. Remember, this guy is in the comic book as himself.

Is it Boris Karloff?
Is that a question for me, or are you bouncing it off the other players?

This one I know is a real question, since it's already been bounced off the other players.
No, it's not Vincent Price.

If they're not even trying to distinguish it as commentary between players, just take it. No sense in having to deal with that.
Boris fits the description as far as I can tell. Take a look, people.
We have 4 questions left, screw it.
Is it Boris Karloff?
We have 4 questions left, screw it.
Is it Boris Karloff?
Yes, CURSE YOU ALL, it is Boris Karloff. He was host of a TV show called Thriller about 1960 or so and "host" of Gold Key's Boris Karloff's Tales of Mystery comic from about 1962 to 1980.
Got it with 3 questions left over.
Okay, so you won't all bow down before me today. BUT SOME DAY YOU WILL!!!!!
Props to readyeddy for the name!
My biggest clue was that Kalel actually wanted clarification when it was clearly a question.
And I waste no time at all. (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=258040)
