More Comic Trivia - The Answers

As usual, I'll post the answers under Comments in case anyone wishes to take the quiz and doesn't want the answers spoiled for them before that.

I believe the Blog Points won were:

Tammy: 2 (Q's 1 & 2)
Jimmy: 1 (Q 6)
Vicki: 2 (Q's 5 & 10)
Chris: 3 (Q's 1, 5 & 6) (I'm trusting that Chris didn't get any of his answers from reading previous Comment posters.)

I'll try to make the next comic quiz easier, and before that I'll try to find time to do a movie and/or TV quiz.

The answers:

1) Mary Jane Watson

2) Jim, or James

3) Shape-shifting, as indicated by their ability to pose as three of the Fantastic Four on the cover of Avengers # 93, one of my Favourite Comic Covers!

4) The Doom Patrol, the DC equivalent to the X-Men (outcasts, feared by society, and lead by a scholarly man in a wheelchair)

5) Virginia, of course!

6) Batman, who said those words after a bat flew into his parlour and gave him the inspiration for his superheroic identity.

7) Susan Richards aka The Invisible Girl, on account of having a baby!! (Franklin Richards)

8) Star City, as mentioned a few times in Smallville this season.

9) FF, Hulk, Spidey, Daredevil; so, I thought this was an interesting question because it has 24 possible answers: 4*3*2*1 but if you know much about Marvel, you'd know FF launched the company (in terms of superheroes) in which case you'd be down to only 6 possible answers: 1*3*2*1; and if you knew DD was a couple years later than the others, then you'd be down to just deciding if Spidey or Hulk came first.

10) Gold K robs Kryptonians of their superpowers forever! Which made it the loaded gun that was almost never fired in the Silver Age, since what was the fun of having Superman or Supergirl lose their powers forever?

I came up with the answers before posting - it wouldn't be much of a competition other wise! Also I didn't use the internet, inter-weeb or call-the-nearest-comic-store methods to generate responses. Also not very sporting. I'm surprised everyone didn't get 5, but maybe they just don't read closely enough... Maybe it's the blog points distracting them from the content...
