I don't want to waste any questions since Silver Age DC is WAY out of my knowledge base!

I never bothered to find out what the diff was between silver or gold age.

If I ask a clarifying question, as in, one to clarify an answer you have already made, will that count? Will this count? Or this?

I think Silver Age is basically from 1963-1985ish... FF#1 marked the beginning of the Silver Age and 1985 is the year that Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns deconstructed the Superhero...of course when I was collecting comics in 1985, Silver age referred to stuff written in the 60's so my definitions could be off.

No, I won't count it. If it needs clarifying, I'll clarify for free.

The golden age ended with the waning of interest in super heroes, with comics switching to other genres like mystery and noir. Silver age started with the resurgence of super heroes, with the repackaging of previously created heroes. The first of these was Barry Allen. Followed by Hal Jordan. Martian Manhunter was one of the first new heroes, and longest lasting, of the silver age.

When you said they don't currently fight crime in a costume with a cape, does this mean they fight crime in a costume?
When you said they don't currently fight crime in a costume with a cape, does this mean they fight crime in a costume?
It means she doesn't fight crime using a cape. The question didn't cover whether she still wears a costume. So you don't know for sure if she currently wears a costume or not.
Still 7 questions to go.

Never mind, I forgot she's silver age.
Does she use magic?
Is she young?
I'll define young as "teenager or younger" and say No.

NOT TO KALEL21: Based on looking through the units section, I would guess Zatanna or Black Canary, but I don't know enough DC to determine if these are good guesses. Do either one of these mostly work alone?

I discounted Zatanna as she is A. Currently a part of the JLA. and B. She is frequently active in Gotham.
