View Full Version : D.C. trivia game
Oh the Bell the Jar and the wheel forgot the second part.
Rules are if you answer the question you get to ask one? If so:
Here's an easy one especially for all those Main Man fans out there it's a multi part question.
Name the original name for the Main Man's race, his creator(writer), and the issue he first appeared in.
RexMason
09/24/2003, 10:44
Um, Czarians?
Giffen
and that one issue of Justice League. You know, he was wearing pink.
Czarnian
Giffen/Slifer
And he appeared in Infinity, Inc. first I believe.
Assuming I am right:
Question:
In JSA current continuity:
What JSAer lost a parent and who, gained a parent and who? How was the original parent lost? How was the parent gained?

Well Nuklon/Atom Smasher's Mom died on that plane crash caused by Kobra. As to who gained a parent, I guess Hank Hall gained Dove as a parent, kinda', but that's all weird. And he gained Carter who's now back as his father as Carter was reborn on Thanagar.
So here's my question:
Post Crisis, who was the thug that Batman was fighting to gain his large penny in the batcave?
Hint: It's not Harvey.

Abnegazor, Rath, and Ghast. Rath is currently a demon Maggot, cause I guess he was killed, probaly in the Underworld event. Last appearance was JLA #6, that I know of.
Just for the record, he died in Swamp Thing #50 during the ultimate battle with the Great Darkness (Around 1986 or so). Dr. Fate killed him (in a pretty #### cool Dr. Fate moment as well - Man I miss Moore's Swamp Thing).

It was actually a trick question. Atom Smasher's mom died from the plane crash caused by Kobra, but then he later got his mom back when he mucked with the space/time continuum after the Hawk (whatever his cosmic name is) Cosmic Adventure a few issues later.
But you answered the question so you were right.
Abnegazar, Ghast, and Rath. the red jar of Calythos, the green bell of Uthool, and the silver wheel of Nyorlath, for the full answer to my earlier question.
The 1st appearance of Lobo was Omega Men #3 and his race was Czarnians, Planet Czarnia.
This is just to sum up a few of the loose ends.
RexMason
09/24/2003, 15:44
So the current question is the one about the giant penny. Any takers?
HINT: It took place in an issue of Batman Chronicles.
Anyone who guessed Lobo's original race name was Czarnians was WRONG!!!!
The question asked for his original's race name. Yes Giffen created Lobo and appeared first in Omega Men #3
The name of his race was changed by Alan Grant in the first Lobo mini-series.

We're stalled on the Penny question.
Why did the Zamorans choose Carol Ferris to be Star Sapphire?
because she was close to hal jordon? that's just a shot in the dark.
shiffy0295
09/25/2003, 21:23
because she was pretier than the original star saphire (brave and the bold right?)
WildKat672
09/25/2003, 21:54
Batman gained his giant penny from Joe Coyne, "The Penny Robber" way back in Detective Comics 235 (pre-Crisis continuity, of course).
WildKat672
09/25/2003, 22:08
Shiffy0295 MIGHT be right, sort of. Ferris was chosen because the Zamarons always picked a mortal woman of "a certain physical appearance" to be their queen. Those nutty Zamarons!
Actually, the only Zamoran who was not immortal was the queen so when she died the new queen needed to be her exact duplicate in apperance.

WildKat has it. They chose her because she looked like the previous queens, not necessarily prettier.
Your question.
RexMason
09/26/2003, 12:05
By the way, the Joe Coyne thing still rings true in post-crisis in the page of Batman Chronicles. So let's get some more questions going on this board. Maybe more than one at a time to get things moving.
In the Batman comic, who was the first villain Batman faced off against Post-Crisis?
As I recall he faced Catwoman in Year 1
Year One came a little later than the comic I am thinking of.

In the 1960's "Death of Superman" what does Luthor do that gains him Superman's confidence?
He started to heal cancer patients with Element Z.
Ignatz_Mouse
10/02/2003, 20:25
That is correct (I think-- it's been ages since I read it-- "curing cancer" would have been acceptable).
Name the three people who have been the Thinker.
I can only think of Clifford Devoe
Ignatz_Mouse
10/03/2003, 10:26
Cliff Carmichael.
You've got one left and he is the current Thinker.
The current thinker is Clifford Devoe "resurrected" as a Computer program (per Flash & JLA), non?
The only other ones that come to mind are the brief times Rick Flagg and Amanda Waller wore the helmet.
I wish they'd bring Carmichael back. He was a villain you really loved to hate.
The current Thinker is a program based off of DeVoe's brain as a program, but is still under another name. This Thinker was also a pain in the back side for Batman before DeVoe's brain became involved.
Des Conner?
(Had to cheat and go look that one up.... It's funny I don't think he's been named that outside the Bat Books, has he?)
I have to appologize to everyone, There is a third Thinker for like one issue but has nothing to do with the current Thinker. Since rouge2 has the most concise answer, I'll give him the next question.
Thanks ohcysp,
Keeping with the Thinker theme: In a still unexplained continuity gaffe one of the above Thinker's has died on-panel twice. Which one? Name the books it happened in and how he died in each case.
Ignatz_Mouse
10/03/2003, 12:49
I know it's Cliff Carmichael, and once was in Suicide Squad, but that's all I know/remember.
For my own sanity, can somebody recap the Thinker history? Cliff Carmichael used to be Ronnie Raymond's high-school nemesis, I don't know how he got the helmet-- not how the orinial THink (is that DeVoe?) lost it and/or died. Can somebody fill in the gaps?
I think it was DeVoe who was killed by the Weasal, or they thought he was dead. It was Suicide Squad for the book. His throat was slashed by the Weasal and then he died of cancer. I'm not sure if it was the same issue.
Well I_M, if I answered your question, I'd also be answering mine (that should be a big enough hint as to which thinker it was). ;)
Ohcysp is part-way there.
Clifford Devoe died for the first time in Suicide Squad/Doom Patrol Special when the Weasel ripped open his throat.
He turned up alive but not well a few years later in another book dying from cancer. No mention was made of the Weasel incident. Any guesses on which book?
If I remeber right, it was a Suicide Squad/ Doom Patrol team up. I rememeber that almost everyone died, but in the comics no ever really dies.
actually the exceptions to the rule that no one really dies are Bucky and Uncle Ben :)
And the Thomas and Martha Wayne. Technicaly Hal Jordon is really dead, just not really gone.
Ok, I'm going home for the weekend, so I'll give you the last one: It was in The Flash that Devoe died from cancer. Ohcysp has come closest so his question...
For I_M: Here's the history (sorta) of the Thinker line of succession:
Clifford Devoe is killed by the Weasel while serving on the Suicide Squad. His Helmet stays with the Squad, but is deemed to dangerous to use.
At some point Cliff Carmichael dis-assembles it and implants it's micro-circuitry into his Brain (He becomes the new thinker).
He ends up joining the Suicide Squad, eventually betrays them and leaves, never to be seen again.
Now it gets screwy: A few years later Jay Garrick visits a sick Clifford Devoe in the hospital and helps him find his helmet . Devoe swears off the helmet and dies peacefully. Jay holds onto the helmet.
This obviously flies in the face of all that happened in Suicide Squad because Devoe should already be dead and the Helmet destroyed.
Anyway, Garrick gives the Helmet to Mr. terrific who incorperates it into JSA HQ. The Helmets circuitry (based on Devoes Brain Pattern) gains sentience and betrays the JSA to the Injustice Society.
He "escapes" to the Internet, surfacing later in Keystone/Central and is stopped/contained by the Flash and Cyborg.
Sometime after Devoe dies and the new Thinker comes 'on-line" another thinker surfaces in Batman, but I'm not sure if or how he fits in.
I think that covers it.
Ignatz_Mouse
10/03/2003, 17:37
So Devoe is the Golden Age Thinker?
I read all the Suicide Squad stuff, but do not remember a lot of it.

This should be easy for any Superman fans. Clark and Lois have a code word to let each other know they are okay if they can't get in contact for a while. What is the code word? I don't recall this being asked before, So I'm sorry if it has.
Isnt it Clark's Favorite meal? Beef Bourgignon or however u spell it?
I remember during sins of youth he tells superboy to say that to her
I THINK IT'S BEEF WELLINGTON WITH CATUP
Osito is right. But I am unsure of the spelling, too. But close enough in by book.

In John Stewart's first adventure with the JLA (when they squared off against the Key over the Christmas Holidays), why was he acting as Green Lantern and not Hal Jordan?
Ignatz_Mouse
10/08/2003, 14:56
Hal slipped on a bar of soap.
Correct. The first story I ever read with John Stewart. I thought he was awesome. But I found it strange that the ring didn't get help for Hal, or let the others know what was happening. Of course, I was 6 or 7 and can't really remember a lot of the rest of the story.
Your question I_M
Ignatz_Mouse
10/08/2003, 15:51
OK, so new question, from the same era:
What was the name of Galactus-esque planet-eating "Space Vampire" that the JLA fought?
Ignatz_Mouse
10/08/2003, 16:26
Nope.
Oh, wait... That's Darkseid's father. Was it Manga Kahn?
Ignatz_Mouse

Nope, Manga Khan (a pun, substitute "comic" for manga and you get Comic Con) is far, far later than what I'm thinking of.

Perhaps is is too lame for anyone to remember. He was indeed quite lame for a character who was supposed to be so menacing.
It was StarBreaker.
New question: Why is the town "Four Heroes, Maine" named that?
Mayberry Bat
10/09/2003, 11:51
Wasn't that when the original Doom Patrol sacrificed themselves to save the town? It appeared everyone died except Robotman (Cliff Steele).
Ignatz_Mouse
10/09/2003, 12:10
Yep. The Brotherhood of Evil gave the heroes a choice-- be blown up, or let the fishing villiage (pop. 14) get blown up. They chose themselves (to the villians' surprise) and died. The town renamed itself in gratitude.
Eventually, all four were shown to be alive-- but at first it appeared they all died.
Your question.
Elasti-Girl came back too? I thought she was the only one who stayed dead? When did she return (admittedly I didn't read the last series)?
Ignatz_Mouse
10/09/2003, 12:29
My mistake. I thought she came back, too-- but I just looked, and I guess I am wrong.
Mayberry Bat
10/09/2003, 13:16
That's what I remember that Elasti-girl was the only one that actually stayed dead.
Anyway, what villain made his first DC appearance in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen?

This should be a little easier question, Who did Braniac 2.0 possess when the B13 virus transformed Metropolis?
Yep, It was Lena Luthor. Your question.
how many Robin have there been
Ignatz_Mouse
03/05/2004, 16:04
Wow, the other trivia item is back from the grave!
I know of:
Mr Grayson
Mr Todd
Mr Drake
Plus the elseworlds female Robin in DKR
Then there are parallel eath Robins, the most notable being the Earth 2 Mr Grayson
I think there was also a Robin in DC 1 Million as well.
Is that enough Robins to count?
I remember a flashback story where a young Bruce Wayne donned a Robin costume. It was a sort of "Origin of the Robin Identity" type of story. Best left forgotten, but I suppose you could add Mr Wayne to your list.
Ignatz_Mouse
03/05/2004, 16:35
I thought of that, but for some reason forgot to type it in.
It was the outfit he wore while being trained, and he was indeed called Robin by his mentor (for the red vest). It had no "R" on it.
MR. mouse you are right and it's to you
Don't forget that in the 1950's, Alfred used to make up imaginary tales where Bruce married Batwoman and had a kid, Bruce Jr. and #### married Batgirl. #### became Batman II and Bruce Jr. became Robin II.
On Earth II #### stayed Robin as an adult but wore a Batman like costume without the cowl (eye mask only).
There was a bizarro Robin of course.
There are many alternates, but the most famous is Carrie Kelly from Dark Knight.
Jimmy Olson acted as Flamebird, the Robin of Kandor, along with Superman who was Nightwing (the Batman of Kandor). This of course was a factor in DC changing #### Grayson's identity to Nightwing.
There were lots of Robin's around the globe in the 50's and 60's, like the Squire in England
Of course, Robin was the very 1st costumed kid sidekick, so all the others are copys in one way or another. This includes, Pinky, Sandy, Speedy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Bucky, Toro, Kid Namor, Alter Boy, el Bravo, Rick Jones, and countless others.

I tried once, I didn't even get half way thru and I was bored. Close as I've gotten as of late was the South Park episodes "Cartoon Wars Part 1 & 2", in which it's discovered that "Family Guy" is written by Manatees, as Cartman tries to have Family Guy pulled off the air partly because people kept asking him if he liked that show. People assumed he would like it, as it's style of humour matched his own. That whole storyline, really, was just South Park's creators showing what a rip-off of other shows Family Guy really is. Simular to the SP episode "The Simpson's Already Did It", but the Simpson's one was done with less menace and more appreciation.
I'm finding it rather strange that no one has the answer to the question. Yes, Gorshin played the Riddler on the live-action series, that was a given, but he also provided the voice of a Batman foe on the newest animated series, "The Batman". I think he did one episode then passed away.

It wasn't a perfected Hatchet fighter, it was expieramental ( going off of what i remember from the show ). Buck was given the mission to rescue the guys daughter ( the character Cesar was playing, the guy of course ). If it was sucessful, then he was going to fork over the designs he was working on.

Why does Chaselon have a mohawk?

I'll give it a whirl.
Chaselon was a Green Lantern from Barrio III. He was a crystalline humanoid (a silicon based life-form - like Strata from Dryad over in L.E.G.I.O.N).
The "people" of Barrio III wanted to fit in more with regular humanoids so they used to wear wigs - this is the reason for Chaselon's mohawk (I think).
Is that right?
He misread a copy of James Fenimore Cooper's classic "Last Of The Mohicans", and thought Mogawi was a good guy to base himself on, hence the mohawk.

As for the comment itself; Just remember what era the character was created in.
Also remember, Jon Stewart tends to make big giant hands with his ring's power, so, if you looked like a doorknob, he'd probably whip one of those up to try to turn you and open up an imaginary door.

She was one of the few that weren't. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superboy had their titles continuously published through the 50s; Golden-Age back-up features Aquaman and Green Arrow hung on too, as back-ups in those characters' books. (A few other 1940s back-ups survived into the 50s, like Shining Knight, Johnny Quick, and Robotman; but one by one they vanished, leaving only Aquaman and Green Arrow continuing through the 50s and into the 60s, which is why those two eventually became part of the JLA.)

Superman's a little easier; in the late 50s they start bringing in characters and concepts unique to Earth-One, like Supergirl, Brainiac, and the Bottle City of Kandor.
Green Arrow and Aquaman, of course, got completely new origin stories in 1959, vastly different from their Golden-Age origins.

Probably Batman. We know Robin/Tim Drake recieved a special license to drive when his Dad was paralyzed for awhile, way back when.
Oh, and Green Arrow/Ollie had the "Arrowmobile", and he also use to drive the pick-up truck he and Hal used when they went looking for the "Real America".
The Joker had his "Jokermobile". I'd give the man a license without giving him a test, cause, otherwise I'd probably be dead.
