A new game requisitioned for the Museum of Legion Arts. The exhibit for the month of February is Matter-Eater Lad, Calorie Queen, & Infectious Lass

Museum of Legion Art link

So, the game runs like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. We start with one fictional character and end with our own Matter-Eater Lad. The links are not limited to fictional characters. In fact the last link to Tenzil should be via a writer or artist that used Matter-Eater Lad.

So, here is an example:

Starting character: Jan Brady

Jan Brady was animated in
The Brady Kids which had as a guest star
Wonder Woman who was mentor to
Donna Troy who was a member of
The New Teen Titans which was illustrated by
George Perez who also illustrated
The Avengers during the Kovac saga which was written by
Jim Shooter who also wrote Superboy & the Legion of Superheroes #212 which featured
Matter-Eater Lad aka Tenzil Kem.


The connections can be creative (like artist X worked for First comics which also published ____)

So the first character is:

Spawn
