I just wonder how much CuCr will have to pay to get that dozer thru the car wash.
The local high school is running a car wash this week to raise money for band uniforms. I have a hunch they'e going to regret that "Any Car $5" sign.

In Kazar and Shanna's wedding issue, they were attacked by a big time baddie. As he barreled down on Shanna, she tried to conjure something from his magic book to defend herself to no avail. The final thing she created was a 1983, one speaker, Boom Box which she hurled at her attacker, buying Kazar a distraction to get the upper hand in the fight. The question: what song was playing on the machine at the time?

Well, if it was an 1983 boom box, it'd probably be an 1983 song, so, thinking of the chart toppers of the early 80's, I'd have to make a big guess here and say "Heat Of The Moment", by Asia.
No doubt I'm wrong, but, as I said, it's a guess.

Which is odd, considering these days, he was supposedly the last of the CSA from his universe and he somehow ended up in the bottle city, where Saturn Queen helped him rule over Kandor, till Power Girl and Super Girl showed up there, and he was intent on marrying SG... Who, programed to kill Ka-El, and thinking of UM as Kal, was tempted to kill him. Considering they may be related, one wonders if they aren't Kryptonian Hillfolk.

Fair enough. It is a matter of personal opinion, and that I have graduated university with a degree in film and television production and have highly critical opinions of his work from that standpoint. Don't take it to mean I like and support Bush, because I don't, but neither do I support Michael Moore (although I haven't seen Sicko, which could be a redeemer for him).

May Porker became irradiated, bit the pig and he came to power as Spider-Ham.

...ehh, close enough, I guess. Peter Porker was actually a spider named Peter before being bit by May Porker, a scientist who was testing an "atomic hair-dryer" and became irradiated in the process. The bite turned Peter into a pig, but left him with the attiibutes of a spider as well. He adopted the last name Porker, as after returning to "normal" May became convinced she was Peter's aunt.

Green Goblin could have been said to be Bart Hamilton, but Bucky was harder to wriggle out of. AFAIK there were only two other Bucky's, Fred Davis and Jack Monroe, neither of whom are dead (or at least weren't then). Nighthawk was another one who, since that story, was shown to have never really died. There were others who were dead then but returned from the dead, like Baron Blood and Dracula.

V-Batallion, yeah, that's what I was thinking of. So he never died, and the Bucky in that Avengers story must have been the original, who was later shown to never have died either.
Of course, in the story, Thor said that their foes must have been impostors, or at least the Executioner must have been (because he went to Valhalla). So who's to say?

I suppose that technically fits the requirements of my question, but for two things. Steve Rogers wasn't the "real" first name of the 50s Cap; and he wasn't "much better known" as the Grand Master. No, I'm looking for someone else.

I thought by "real", you meant the civilian ID he used, which was Steve, tho, admittedly, he'd changed it to that and wasn't the original name he had, which, I don't think was ever disclosed.
But, in modern times, when he was first awakened, and thought he was the true Cap, no one knew the diff except those involved, but when he was the Grandmaster, a bunch of people knew that name. It gets confusing.

By "real" I mean the name they were born with, or given at birth by their parents and/or adult guardians. And it's only the first name they share, not the last name.
And the villain is much, much, much better known by his second name than by the name he shares with the hero from the Forties.

Didn't one of those guys run into She Hulk recently? Made her feel guilty cause she destroyed part of a town and the Avengers had it blamed on the Hulk.

Are you thinking of the grim reaper, because he offered the vision captain america's body way back in '77 revealed in issue 160. Erik Williams was under the impression that the vision was his brother since they shared the same brain patterns so he wanted to give him a human body.

Nope, definitely speaking of the Space Phantom. This wasa few years before the story you refer to (and it was a deus ex machina for a plot device as well).
He offered Captain America's body. After all, Cap's was the perfect human body.

Correct, JTR. It also served as a plot device to rid the world of knowledge of Cap's dual identity. Cap had revealed his ID to the world awhile back and had regretted it ever since. His mind had to "be at peace" for the transfer to work, so Space Phantom wiped the knowledge from everyone's mind.

Ant Man joined at the time Reed was thought to be dead. Kristoff was there as well, and he and Ant Man's daughter got along fairly well.
I wasn't sure about Lyja. I know she was sort of with the other FF that Teen Franklin created, but that's about all I can recall.
Let me think of a new question.
I didn't have Dr. Doom, Kristoff, Storm or Black Panther. I had Thundra on my list.
I forgot about Thundra. As for the others... Doom was considered a member for one issue, really. Another time, Reed was trapped in Doom's armour for several issues and started to act like him. Scary.
Kristoff was on the team, more or less, after Reed "died".
When Reed and Sue needed time alone together after the events of Civil War, which had them seperated for a time since Reed was on Stark's side, and Sue was on Cap America's side. That's when Black Panther and Storm joined the FF. And, I happened to like Storm on the team, which I didn't think I would.
When Excalibur (volume one) were traveling to alternate dimensions, they travel to a version of Earth full of mixed up heroes. This world was devoured by Galactus. Who was revealed to of created this world?
Impossible Man!
That was quick. Yes, Impy created it, Galactus devoured it, and Impy recreated it. Great story. Hilarious, really. Rick Jones as it truly is.
Always wondered why Galactus didn't come back there. He warned Impy not to recreate it ever, but Impy did. Sounds like a squel could be had there.

Skrulls created it in order to have a contest between the kree and the cotati. The Skrulls were willing to offer technology to the most advanced race of the two, the cotati won and the kree got angry and killed the skrulls and the cotati, thereby starting the hostilities between kree and skrull.

And thus began the first Kree-Skrull war. Someone has a good memory, that's an old story. And yes, the Skrulls were the ones who created the blue area of the moon, the Kree built the city and the Cotati planted a fabulous garden that the Skrulls liked better then the city. This was also how the Kree aquired technology, by stealing the Skrull's space craft.

Then there'd be two others.
Spider-Man wore all four of them.
Then, there was Dusk, who'd worn the Dusk costume itself before Spider-Man. That was in the negative zone. And it was hinted at that there'd been others before him who'd worn the same costume into battle.

Near the end of "Secret Wars II", Mephisto, in a bid to stop the Beyonder from destroying reality made a bet with the Beyonder. Each would choose a pawn to fight each other. The winning pawn would win for which ever being. Anyways, Mephisto picked Spider-Man... Who did the Beyonder choose?

No. Puma wanted to kill the Beyonder and wanted Spidey's help. Mephisto had nothing to do with Puma's wanting to kill the Beyonder.

That was quick, the villians teamed up because dormammu needed loki's help w/ the plan since he was unable to go into the earth's dimension and loki needed a cure for his blindness. The defenders won the first 4 pieces of the eye, cap and namor came to a draw as they realized that they were being duped, and hulk and thor fought to a stadstill untill the rest of the teams came and clued them in. The evil eye almost succeeded in sucking the earth into dormammu's dimension but it wound up consuming dormammu and making loki go insane. The whole thing started because the black night was turned to stone by the enchantress while on a mission w/ the defenders and the avengers were duped into thinking that it was the defenders who had done this.

Actually, there were even more then the four. IF you'd read the current run of the Black Panther, you'd know the US Gov't has a virtual army of Deathlok's at their disposal.

What were the full names of Victor Von Doom's parents and what were their fates.
There was Werner Von Doom, who was Victor's father and Cynthia Von Doom, who was Victor's Mother.
Cynthia died first, killed by some Baron's soldiers, and her soul was taken by Mephisto who'd given her power. She being a witch, she needed power. Years later, Doom's attempt to get in touch with her soul in hell (tho later, it was retconed that he didn't know her soul was there), caused the accident which disfigured his face a bit and made him annoyed with Reed Richards. Still years later, he, with Dr Strange's help, freed his Mother's soul from Mephisto's clutches. Where she went from there, I don't know.
Werner died in his attempt to escape with his son from the same Baron, I think. Different time tho. It was years after his wife died. The Baron wanted his own wife cured of a problem that Werner knew was uncurable. But, he did try. He failed. He ran off with his son to escape the Baron's wraith. Then, he caught a really bad cold or something like influenza while trying to evade the soldiers. Found nearly dead by his gypsy tribe, he died in his tent, trying to tell Victor something, but we never really knew what, nor did Victor.
Poor Victor. I kinda feel sorry for the lad.
