You and your Custom Clix. You need a better advertisment. A slogan that will boost your sales. And I think I have one for you.
Ten years ago, CuCr was sent to prison by a federal court for a clix he didn't create (copyright infringment was citied). This man promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Delaware underground. Today, still wanted by the government, he survives as a creator of custom clix. If you need a clix, if it's not available on the market, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire... CustomCreator.

Element Lad is correct!
And that was such a total guess. I figured "lad" had to be a Legion member. I just posted the first one that came to mind.

Assuming the rumors about his yelling match with Dan DiDio are not true, James Robinson will soon be writing the new Justice League title. One of the heroes on the projected roster is a blue-skinned alien. This character previously appeared in another Robinson book. The main character of that title retired from superhero work, passing his equipment to heroine. This legacy heroine has, in her immediate family, another superhero, though he was a sidekick for a time. This former sidekick was a member of a Golden Age superhero group, sometimes known as the Law's Legionnaires. The name of this superhero group was revived in the last decade by a popular writer, who also recently is rumored to have had a screaming match with Dan DiDio.

It was Sherwood Schwartz, and it was a story about a lovely lady who was raising three lovely little girls, the youngest one in curls. She then sold them off to arab slave traders and hit the casinos. That's where she met this fellow, who was had three little boys all his own, and used them as cover to hide his own sexuality. He then sold them to the same arab slave traders and hit the casino's. This is how they met and then married. Then the IRS stepped in and sent them both to prison. I think the series was called "The Misadventures of Alfred The Butler and Hilda Wayne" or something like that.

And by "got into it," I mean they exchanged dialogue. I do not mean the brutal beatings handed out by Batman and Rick Flag (to one another). That fight still makes me wish Rick was made into Clix.

Wasn't sure which reboot of Superman you meant. Hasn't his history been pretty much re-rebooted back to pre-Crisis status?
There were three new Superman origins since COIE. That's not including a weird one that turned out to be totally false and an odd one where Krypton never blew-up but was sucked into the Phantom Zone (turned out to be a fake one).
Of the three viable ones, parts were taken from each to create the current fourth version that came about after Infinite Crisis.
The New Earth Deal;
Action Comics #850 (2007) presents the latest revision of Superman's origin, since the history of the DC Universe was reset in Infinite Crisis. The new timeline is indicated to revise the complicated web of origins in a panel which shows a progression of four to five successive versions of Superman that are viewed by Kara Zor-El, clearly aping the art styles of Jerry Siegel, Curt Swan, John Byrne, Dan Jurgens and Leinil Francis Yu.
Written collaboratively by Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza and Geoff Johns, the new version includes details such as Krypto's presence on Krypton, Jor-El's frustrations with the Council of Krypton refusing to evacuate the planet, Clark's awareness of his adopted status from a young age, having interacted with Lex Luthor at a younger age, Clark not being the direct cause of Lex's baldness, his wearing glasses as far back as his early teens in Smallville, and using his powers to help others at a younger age. The new version also supports the portrayal and aesthetic design of Jor-El, now similar to Marlon Brando's portrayal of the role, and Krypton, as featured in the ongoing Richard Donner co-authored arcs of Action Comics (essentially rendering Krypton closer in style to his and Bryan Singer's shared film continuity), as well as the fitting in with the discovery in The Lightning Saga that Clark was a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes during his adolescence and still retains possession of a Legion flight ring. Superman is established as a founding member of the Justice League in Justice League of America (vol. 2) #0.

Captain Atom and Deadshot ???
Sorry this wound up stumping the board - I should not ask such specific questions.
Captain Atom was the correct answer given. He and Eve had a history and common company of origin (Charlton).
The one that folks missed was Tom Tresser, Nemesis. After Nightshade arranges to teleport the Squad out, leaving Nemesis to be rescued by the League, she kisses him. Cap grins at him and says something about "a kiss like that could make a man jealous." (Cap's "costume" is almost entirely silver, plus gloves, boots and chest symbol. Nemesis's costume is a completely black jumpsuit, with his symbol on the chest or lapel. That's what I was going for with that hint.)

And, of course, to bring in more business for Lex Corp, even tho he'd stepped down as head of the company and handed the whole thing to Talia, who later sold off Lex Corp to Wayne Enterprises.

"Despero is attacking! Into action, Justice Leaguers!"
"Um, wait a minute, my laxative just started working...."
Here's how the storyline and it's history goes/went;
Chris Claremont suggested that Superman of Earth-One dies in the final battle with the Anti-Monitor in issue 12. After the Anti-Monitor was destroyed for good, Kal-L from Earth-Two realizes that he is now alone, without his Earth, without his Lois, and now the new single Earth is without a Superman. Then he remarks "Don't need this anymore," and brushes the white dye off his hair and other make-up that he apparently used to make himself look aged. The other heroes are surprised by this and Kal-L simply explains that he'd stopped aging when he reached the peak of his powers. He returns with the other heroes to the new Post-Crisis Earth, taking the place of the Earth-One Superman.
If this idea had been used, the Man of Steel would have proclaimed the return of the "Original Super-Hero" as Kal-L (now switched to Kal-El) began his life on the Post-Crisis Earth that is similar to his old life, but was completely different, such as how different this version of Lois is and how differently this version of Batman behaves towards him. Despite this "culture shock", Kal-L endured and was given a new lease on life by being deposited back to the early days of the modern heroic age of the Post-Crisis Earth. However, this was discarded when the John Byrne version of Man of Steel was planned.
And there you have it. That was all mentioned some years back in Wizard magazine.
And the thread is yours, CuCr.

Kal-L simply explains that he'd stopped aging when he reached the peak of his powers. He returns with the other heroes to the new Post-Crisis Earth, taking the place of the Earth-One Superman.
Which would have made no sense, because it was stated several times before the Crisis that Kal-L's powers diminished as he aged; DC Comics Presents Annual #1, for example.
What was Claremont doing anywhere *near* COIE anyway?
I honestly have no clue. But Perez stated in the interview that that was Claremont's idea. Sort of reboot Supes without really rebooting him. Just making him immortal.
Which would have made no sense, because it was stated several times before the Crisis that Kal-L's powers diminished as he aged; DC Comics Presents Annual #1, for example.
Well, Byrne's idea was for a Supes with diminished powers, so it'd still workout out, more or less, since, as you point out, Supes of E-2 had diminished powers.
I don't think it was a good idea, but then, I've never been a Claremont fan, except his short run on the FF several years ago, those were not the greatest FF storylines ever, but they were good. I liked seeing the FF deal with the Brood. And the idea of killing off Lois wasn't his brightest. I like how she (eventually) died. E-2 Supes reacted the way most men in love would, not just wipe off the dye and say "Oh, well" and move on with their lives. That part of Claremont's idea was really stupid.

Iggy got it right; Polar Boy graduated to the majors pre-Crisis. JTR got two out of three, Iggy got the third, so I'll let you guys decide who asks the next one.
Damn, my next guess would've been Iggy Lad and Mouse Lass.
I'll let Iggy take the thread, I'm still not awake yet (and yet I did manage an interesting question over on the Marvel thread).

Easy? What was the name of the Evil Corporation that eventually caught and dissected Swamp Thing?

The Sunderland Corporation.
The Sunderland Corporation.
It should've been called the "Sutherland" corporation, then it would explain how it came to be that Donald looks like Swamp Thing. It was his corporation. :cool:
Separate question for an upcoming clix event.

Wasn't Stone Boy the one who use to smoke those "funny" cigarettes and watch Cheech and Chong movies for the plot?

No, I'm pretty sure that was you.
No, I'm pretty sure that was you.
Oh, no. I don't touch the stuff. Tried it years ago, gave me a migraine. And these days, my job has me involved with various law enforcement agencies and so I get tested for use of such things. It wouldn't go over to well with them and/or the boss if I tested positive for such things.
Tho, I do admit, I like some of Cheech and Chong's stand-up routines.

I've actually never tried it either and never had any desire to; but I strongly feel that it should be legal. Every legitimate study ever done shows that it's a lot less harmful and a whole lot less addictive than the currently-legal recreational drugs, such as alcohol and tobacco.

Eh, so long as it's sold for/to adults only, like alcohol, I don't see a real problem.
Tho, I do know someone who seems addicted to it, but then, he's nuts with or without it, so it's hard to tell if he's truly addicted or not. He's the type who, if given some money, will sooner spend it on that stuff then on rent or food or anything of real importance. And since he can't keep a job for more then a few months without his temper flaring or making some sort of sexual comment towards any woman or girl, this is a bad thing. This is a guy who, because his mother wouldn't give him a dollar for a pack of smokes, threw his desktop PC at her and thinks every girl he goes up to and says "You're beautiful" to likes him doing that.
He says it's the lack of pot that makes him do it, but then he does it when he's totally stoned off his butt as well as when he's sober.
Really hard to tell if he's an addict sometimes.
I've actually never tried it either
I've tried it, I just don't like it and the headache isn't worth it. Alchol is pretty much the same, cept with that, my family has a history of heavy drinkers and I've seen what they go thru and I don't want to go thru that.
And the same with heavier drugs. I've never touched them because I've seen my 4 siblings using that stuff and I just don't want to be like they are. One's a speed freak, one used every drug known to man in the 70's and the other one dropped more acid then there are days in a leap year and my sis followed him on that path. No thanks. If I don't want reality, I'll read a book or watch a movie or something.

Oh hell yes. Just because something should be legal doesn't mean there shouldn't be logical restrictions. I think driving a car should be legal but I don't think a twelve-year-old should do it. (Neither should a lot of 65-year-olds I've seen around here, but that's a whole other helpline.)

A neighbor I had years ago had a 12 yr old daughter who, with his permission, backed up his car. The car backed all the way into the garage he'd illegally built. The problem there was, no one had thought to open the garage door and she didn't hit the brake till the back-end of the car was out the back of the garage. Funny thing, that.
I hate to interrupt this "mix and mingle" part of the thread, but let's think about trivia.
What modern age villain is related to Golden Age superhero Terry Sloane, a.k.a. Mr. Terrific?

Yeah, and she's got that weird problem where round and round she goes and where she stops nobody knows.
Custom gets it. Your question, mod man.

Tomahawk?
