OK this the mixed trivia forum and I'll start us off with a DC Question
What Device did Deadshot stela from the penquin to escape from Arkahm Asylum(could have been a reg. prison not sure) in his secound(?) apperance?
A copy of Streetcar named Desire? yelled 'Stela, Stela, until the guards got sick of it and let him go?

You do realize that Deadshot's second appearance was sometime in the 1940s, and Arkham Asylum didn't appear until...I think it was the late 1970s, or perhaps the early 1980s. So it definitely wasn't Arkham Asylum. My real question to hawkeye106 is, are you sure you know what you're talking about? I'm not trying to flame you, it's just that I'm not sure you have all your facts straight. If you do, I apologize, but it sounds like you don't.

he does say it might not be Arkham, and that it might not be his second appearance. What's the beef?

09/26/2003, 10:03
Well, as I usually do when I am stumped, I did a little googling (so I disqualify myself)-- but it looks like Deadshot appeared once in 1950, and then not again until the 70's Englehart run. So I think he probably has that part right. I didn't find that answer, however.

Prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths how many Earths were there in the DC Universe?
I can remember 6 of them, but I know there are at least 2 I am forgetting.

Actually, there were thousands of multiple Earths.
The Anti-Monitor destroyed hundreds before the heroes of the other well-known Earths started catching on that something Cosmically Life Threatening was going on.
The Monitor helped the heroes figure it out with the help of Harbinger.
Man, I am getting nostalgic. I have to break out my Crisis On Infinite Earths comics and start reading them again.
Well, it looks like I got the Titan question right, so I get to ask, but I will also try to answer the multiple Earth question.
Earth 1, earth of Barry Allen Flash and Justice League
Earth 2, Jay Garrick Flash, Justice Society
Earth 3, Crime Syndicate, Evil wins, Good loses
Earth A, Evil Justice League, created by the Thunderbolt
Earth S, Captain Marvel Family, Kid Eternity, Bulletman
Earth X, Freedom Fighters, Plastic Man and Blackhawks, Nazis won World War II
Earth Prime, no Superheroes (except Ultraa, who was silly), DC makes comics about other earths
Earth from Crisis one shot (forget name) black Superman, Asian Flash, only seen once
Earth of alternate Superboys (one from old Legion story, and one from crisis one shot)
Earth of alternate good Chameleon Boy from old Legion story
Earth where Chameleon Boy got a girlfriend from old Legion story
Earth of bad LSH, from old Legion story
Earth of Captain Thunder, Captain Marvel alternate who met Superman
Earth of Lady Quark
Earth of ‘Brave & the Bold' as many stories never fit continuity
Earth of Kamandi future
Earth of Atomic Knights future
Earth of Tommy Tomorrow future
Earth of Inferior Five
Earth of original Starfire
Earth of LSH future that Supergirl met children of original team
Earth of LSH future Superman visited where Shadow Woman and Reflecto died
Earth of Avenger like team, Jack B Quick, Silver Sorceress, etc.
There were also lots of mentions, one shots, continuity explanations for other earths, but this is most of them.
As you can see, having 5 different versions of Chameleon Boy to keep track of did not lend itself friendly to new readers.
Things arch nemesis is the Yancy Street Gang
Now my question. In the 1970's, what comic fan publication was dedicated to try to make sense of all the alternate Earths of DC, Marvel, Disney, Archie, and others. While it only got 2 issues, it tried to explain scientifically how super powers might actually work (my favorite was that Iceman must have an extra organ which acted to absorb heat) and had fun articles such as why Howard the Duck was probably from Donald Duck's hometown and that they may have had the same tailor.
Another easy one:
What's in Agent Graves' briefcase?
Storm Master
10/28/2003, 08:50
WOW! Grat answers all the way around bomber!! Your knowledge impresses me! :)
The Yancy Street Gang is still my favorite arch enemy of all time.
On the Earth Thing I was thinking of just the ones that actually appeared more then once. The six I remember are:
Earth One - Barry Allen and the Silver Age JLA
Earth Two - Golden Age Heros
Earth Three - All the Heros were Villians, Ultraman, etc..
Earth S - Shazam Family Earth
Earth C - Had all the old Charleston Heros, Blue Beatle, Question, etc...
Earth N - Was supposed to be our Earth, where the Heroes were only in comic books (edit: and NOW in Heroclix too of course!)
I have no idea what the answer to your very good question! It's a real stumper! :)
It is pretty obscure. The magazine is Omniverse.
Here's an easy one for whoever reads this first, Who was the 1st person Starfire kissed when she arrived on Earth? Hint-she did it to learn English.

This one may be a little esoteric, but I'll give it a shot.
Name a Marvel Comics character who has been a member (full or honorary) of four different super-hero teams, but none of these teams was the Defenders. (And the West Coast Avengers does not count as a separate team from the Avengers.)

Clint Barton was a member of the Avengers, the Thunderbolts, the GLA, the NA and during a crossover, the JLA.
And the Defenders were always billed as a "Non-Team", so technically, he was never a member.

Okay, I need some help here. This obviously isn't who I was after. While I do consider the GLA to be separate from the Avengers (as they used the name without permission), I don't know how to count the "New Avengers" (assuming that's what NA stands for). I would think they are just another "offshoot" of the Avengers, like the WCA, but I've never read a word of that comic; is that accurate? (And JLA? Come on. I know I didn't specify it but clearly I meant Marvel hero teams.)

Well, after "Disassembled", there were no Avengers. Then Cap and IM and a few other heroes showed up at the "Raft" during a breakout. From there, a new team was born, and they called themselves "The New Avengers". Officially, the Gov't does not recognize them as a team, whereas the "Mighty Avengers" are sanctioned by the Gov't. And the NA group doesn't have all the tie's that the real Avengers had and no charter.
And Hawkeye was indeed made an honourary member of the Justice League, and since events in that crossover did happen and the events are recognized as happening in the JLA books, Clint's membership should be counted, as you did say "or honorary".
Then there's Songbird/Screaming Mimi (Melissa Gold). She was on the Thunderbolts, the Masters Of Evil, The Grapplers, the Femizons and was shown to be a future member of the Avengers.

I did say "super hero teams", which discounts the MoE, Femizons and Grapplers. Heck, if we include villain teams, Electro was on the Sinister Six, Emissaries of Evil, Frightful Four, and Sinister Twelve.
But yes, given your argument, I suppose I have to accept Hawkeye, even though he was a Defender.
The one I was looking for was Robert Frank, the original Whizzer. He was a full member of the Liberty Legion, Invaders, and All-Winners Squad, and an honorary member of the Avengers.

Just a guess here, Ronin?
I just know two Marvel characters used it, and one was Clint Barton who was made an honorary member of the JLA (I think I mentioned that once, sometime ago). And I think Frank Miller had a comic published by DC with a character named Ronin. I don't think it was in any way related to the JLA, but it's Miller and he'd probably connect them all someday, if given a chance.

No, it's not Ronin.
Each character is linked somehow to a specific JLA member, not to the JLA itself. (And the link is stronger than Hawkeye being a blond archer who dated a lady with the word "Black" in her costumed name, like Green Arrow.)

It's been about three days and no correct answer, so I'll declare the thread open.
The identity I was looking for is "Nighthawk". The two Marvel Nighthawks, members of the Squadron Sinister and Squadron Supreme, were both originally conceived as pastiches of Batman. DC's Nighthawk, a masked hero of the Old West, has in the last decade been established as a past life of Hawkman.

They lived in a cave in New England, it was sort of a pastache of Happy Harbor. This was during or just after the time that Overlord was influencing the team, just after the space station was brought down.
Anyways, the only other place I could think of where the team met up before all of that was at the home of Nighthawk, but I wouldn't know where that actually is.

What current animated television series has two regular cast members who have provided the voice of the Joker in other animated series?
As just a guess, I'll say "The Spectacular Spider-Man". I think one of the guys from that show did the voice for The Joker for the lame "The Batman" cartoon.

Not that I'm aware of. I did say "regular" cast members, and by that I mean characters who appear in most, if not all, of the episodes. The only characters on SHSS I would call "regular" would be Iron Man, Falcon, Hulk, Thor, Silver Surfer, Wolverine, Dr. Doom, Abomination, and Modok. If two of them were voiced by actors who also voiced the Joker, it's news to me.
Here's a hint: the show I'm thinking of has nothing to do with super-heroes or comic books.

You should get some kids, JTR. A lot of the current cartoons are clearly aimed at both audiences; while they have a children's aesthetic, a lot of the dialogue and situations are thematically skewed to adults. Great for parents and kids to watch together (although my kids don't care for Phineas & Ferb as much as I do).

You're missing more than one. Lennie Weinrib, for example, voiced the Joker on The New Adventures of Batman. And there was at least one other.
Is Welker so proliferate anymore? He was a "voice god" in the 70s, but now he's getting on in years...

He's still all over. He even provided a bunch of voices for the Transformers movies, but Michael Bay didn't use him to voice Megatron, except in a small sequence used only as an extra on the DVD release. But, he provides voices and sounds all over, including the cartoons I mentioned as guesses earlier.

Tom Sharp is an exceptional pilot fighting against the Germans.
Tom Sharp, crack American mail pilot, sought new adventures. Granted a leave of absence, the air man enlisted in the flying forces of the Orient and then in the Spanish Air Force. His daring and courageous flying fighting ability earned him the title of "The War Bird". The Spanish war over, the War Bird enlisted with the French Flying Corps. We now find him a Captain of the Eagle Squadron, somewhere on the Western Front. He first Appeared inSlam-Bang Comics #1.

Just for the record, Golden Archer was an Englehart creation. In the Squadron's first appearance, their archer was called Hawkeye (at a time when Clint Barton was Goliath). Englehart introduced the Golden Archer name and costume as a disguise of Barton's, in Captain America #179; when the Squadron were operating on Earth, their Hawkeye took the identity to avoid confusion and as a joke on "the other" Hawkeye.

Showcase 50 (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i49/dombo25/comics81/showcase050.jpg)
Showcase 51 (http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i49/dombo25/comics81/showcase051.jpg)
The book was called "I -- Spy!" but it had nothing to do with the famous 1960's TV show (which came along a year or so after these comics IIRC). The character in the books was King Faraday (recently best known for his appearance in The New Frontier).
The thread is up for grabs for whoever wants it.

King Faraday is also a horrible pun it took me decades to notice.
New Q: Name a DC 1960 villain whose name is also a horrible pun (that I overlooked for decades as well).
There's probably more than one. Bonus points to anybody who stumbles over one they hadn't noticed while trying to answer this question.

That counts-- I think that one is so obvious that nobody would ever *not* notice it.
The one I was thinking of was "Amos Fortune" -- which I realized for the first time a few years ago when I said it out loud to somebody, the first time I ever heard it spoken.
Your question.

This is probably an easy one but what the heck.
Who was the first female super-hero at Marvel Comics (that's Marvel, not Timely or Atlas; post-Fantastic Four #1) to have her own self-titled comic book?
If it was She-Hulk, that's a shame.
I'll go with former model Patsy Walker, the Hell-Cat.

It was the team-up book Black Widow: Men I've Slept With, which ended after a 250 issue run. (No reprints!)
No? Then I got nuthin' :cheeky:

As they say in the jungle, so close and yet safari.

This is one of those jungle girl titles, isn't it? Well, it was Rima, she was busy over in the DC U mucking it up and saving the Super Friends.
I'll go with the obvious and say Shanna "The She-Devil" O'Hara.

Actually I wasn't trying to give a clue with that pun; and the correct answer predates Shanna by a single month!
And it ain't Patsy Walker.

Well, there were only three to choose from, if you go by an old Roy Thomas interview where he'd said Stan Lee wanted some female headliners.. There was Patsy, Shanna and Night Nurse (who, these days, has been enjoying the mystical shaggings of Dr Strange). Just ask Linda Carter, bet she'd know.

My question asked for "female super-hero"; I'm not sure if Night Nurse's title predated the one I'm looking for or not, but she doesn't count as a super-hero.
Look over all the guesses, and my responses. Maybe you'll find a clue. Or maybe not.

I'm going with Spider-Woman.
No, seriously, I am -- she's wearing my senior class ring and everything.:knockedou

After you said this, I went and checked, and she would not qualify anyways. Seems Linda Carter was also in an Atlas book titled "Linda Carter, Student Nurse".
And, now I also know who it is, but since I had looked it up, I have to disqualify myself.
Greer Nelson, the Cat?

And there it is. Her comic debuted with a cover date of November 1972, beating Shanna the She-Devil by a month.
I would have accepted just "The Cat", but Evil Lad said "Patsy Walker, the Cat" and that is just incorrect. (On Wheel of Fortune the other night, Pat Sajak refused to accept an answer from a U.S. Marine because he pronounced it "Regis Philbrin"; and if I'm not at least as tough as Pat Sajak...)
All yours, Mr. Cherry.

As soon as I saw that answer, I knew it was right.
I never had the Cat/Hellcat thing straight in my head.
