First, a moment of silence in honour of our fallen soldier, Captain America.
Thank you.
Today's quiz is all about deaths in the comics, and promises certifiably worthless Blog Points for every right answer, between now and midnight Sunday (assuming we all survive Bush's mini-Y2K this weekend!) As always, answer from memory or don't answer at all!
1) Whose death lead to Peter Parker using his powers for good instead of personal gain?
2) Gone but not forgotten: What was the secret identity of Captain America, prior to his untimely death?
3) Who killed Superman in 1993? (Name the character, not the writer or editor!)
4) Which one of the following DC Comics Silver Age superheroes features a significant death scene in their origin story: Atom, Flash or Green Lantern? Bonus Blog Point: Name or describe the character who died.
5) Whose death was the title of one of Marvel Comics' earliest graphic novels, only to have him return recently during the Civil War shenanigans?
6) Speaking of returning from the dead, who duplicated that trick not too long ago and now operates as "the Winter Soldier?"
7) What's the special ability of DC Comics' Deadman?
8) Name the DC Comics foursome who banded together because they'd all cheated death and believed they were living on borrrowed time.
