View Full Version : 20 questions 2/18/10
I'm thinking of a comic book character.
20 Yes or No questions to get who it is.
You are not allowed to ask if it is a Heroclix figure--that tends to make it too easy.

Is this male DC Hero with no superpowers that's part of a team, but not a team with the word Justice in it, and not a sidekick from Gotham City?
I don't remeber "from Gotham" being part of it. He still migh tbe Nightwing or Kal might consider Robin to have grown beyond being just a sidekick.

I was asking if the character was from Gotham. The other stuff I added in just so people knew the info we had so far and wouldn't have to constantly flip back between pages looking. We don't know if this person is from Gotham or not, hence why I was asking.
I'm thinking its Nightwing. I consider him to have grown out of the sidekick role by the time Dick Grayson goes solo.
So are you asking if he's from Gotham?

Nightwing was a member of the Justice League during the Obsidian Age storyline though...
Since you're asking a question, do we get one back?

Indeed I am.

I'm just not clear on whether K.O. meant to officially ask if the character is from Gotham.

Both movie games, and Survivor if you count that.

That would be a feat considering you are not in Survivor or CYOMC IV. :p
But if I end up dead in 007 I guess we know who to blame. :p

18 to go! I like your math.
Has he ever been represented in a collectible miniatures game that uses round bases with L-shaped slots to show the figures' stats?
UPDATE TO HELP ME THINK
DC character
Human
Male
Is a member of a team (team name does not have "justice" in it)
No super powers
No movies are named after him
He is a hero, not a sidekick
He's not from Gotham City
He does not wear a cape
He's never been a member of the Titans
Nor has he been a member of the Legion of Superheroes
Nor Doom Patrol
Nor the Outsiders
Nor Shadow Pact
He has never been a feature for a different company

Is he a member of a team?
The question was "Is he a member of a team."
Not "Was he a member of a team."
If the character is no longer active, or if the team no longer exists, then he is not a part of a team.

To the crowd...
Could he be a Cowboy or something really old...like the original Sandman, or the Shadow, or the Green Hornet?

I say, once a member...always a member!

So he has never been a part of a any team with the word Justice in the title? There goes a few of my guesses.
World War II.
With just 2 guesses left, you all aren't gonna get it today. So the above statement is a clue so that you can at least take a couple of wild guesses.

I was thinking AllStar Squad, The Atom (Al Pratt) in particular.

I was thinking the original Star Spangled Kid. He was a member of Infinity Inc, but he was a member of the JSA first, so I discounted him.

He had super powers anyway.

No, the original Atom was just a guy who fought really good.

I thought he had an atomic punch?
Is it Sgt. Rock?
Good guess, but no.
It was Capt. Johnny Cloud (http://www.toonopedia.com/j-cloud.htm), who was--of course--a member of The Losers (http://www.toonopedia.com/losers.htm).

Unless he was retconned later on, then no. He was just a normal guy:

Aargh! My next guess was The Unknown Soldier and members of The Losers were next on the list.

You guys didn't get it because no one thought to ask about the time frame in which the character was active.
Shame, shame, shame! ;)

Al Pratt gained super powers in 1984.
After being exposed to Cyclotron's energies, Al Pratt possessed superhuman strength. Radioactive energy is focused into a punch. Atom has superhuman stamina, enhanced speed, enhanced durability. He is invulnerable to forms of radiation. He also gained incredible youth and vitality after the battle with Ian Karkull.

I also mistyped. It was in 1948, not 84.

I should have remembered that from some of the JSA/JLA and Earth-2 stories he appeared in later on.
