In pursuit of trivia

I can't help it: I love trivia! My memory's not detail-oriented enough to make me really good at trivia, but I do OK. Once a year I'm one of 4 suckers who go up against comic book writer Mark Waid (a man with a nearly photographic memory) in a contest of comic trivia from the Silver Age (1956 - 1969), which, year after year draws a respectably-sized audience of entertainment-starved fans at the Chicago Comic Convention. Waid wins every year, sometimes in a romp, sometimes just barely, but he always wins. And that's OK, because it's a ton of fun and I feel like I get a little better at it every year.

Outside of the world of comics, I'm probably middle of the pack (at best) in terms of trivia. But I still enjoy it. My wife likes to give me a movie title and have me guess the year it came out (I usually get it within a year or two) and I can't help but blurt out song titles when I hear a snippet from one I've heard. A friend at work, who may in fact be reading this right now, puts me to shame in general trivia but hasn't yet started to deal with an aging brain, unlike your humble narrator. All of which is just the table setting.

So just for fun, try your hand at the following, if you dare. Most of the questions are for material that's two to three decades old, because anything recent just seems too obvious to me. If I did my job, each question will be tougher than the one before it, per category:

5) Who are the five founding members of the Avengers?

6) From what planet does Mon-El, of the Legion of Super-Heroes, hail?

7) Who were the members of the original Sinister Six?

8) What's the name of the mailman who delivers mail to the Fantastic Four?

B) Movie Trivia

1) What movie featured the line "I'll have what she's having?" after a woman faked an orgasm in a restaurant?
