There is a way he could do this, but normally he could not.

I think an unwritten rule of this thread is to not use Legion characters as there is a separate thread for that.

I was implying Super Strength, actually. Didn't even think about ME-Lad until later.

And you call yourself a Legion fan

That's the one. Not that upstart Zachary Zatara

I'm thinking of a character (or I will be by the time you start guessing)

My character is neither Zach Zatara nor male

definitely a woman

Would this woman, if thrown out of an airplane flying at 25,000 feet survive the fall without a parachute?

It would depend on the version of her that's thrown out of the plane. But overall, I'd have to say Yes she would survive (hey, hey)

You guys are close with Sugar & Spike

Nope. Remember no titled characters

Is your character very intelligent?

Did your character debut before COIE?

Hey. I hit "Quote" on Thoth's question and then "Quote" on IB's question. Both showed up in the Quick reply box

I like this new functionality.

Did your character appear after COIE?

Recap (that also answers IB's question above)

This is a human male supporting character in a humor title. His most recent appearance (post-COIE) did have superheroes in the story (further hint: he did not interact with them) He debuted before COIE
He was not in the Inferior Five, is not Major Mynah, Ultra, the Multi-Alien, Spike, or Stanley Dover, and has not teamed with Scooby Doo.
He was not in Final Crisis and I don't believe he had a Who's Who entry.
He does have powers beyond a normal accountant and will be considered a child in another couple of years (His most recent appearance does have him aged beyond a child)

Does this character have magical powers?

Is your character Bernie the Brain?

Bernie the Brain does not have magical powers.

thoth lad is correct.

Siri, Who is Bernie the Brain?

Bernie the Brain was the infant genius. He was a friend of Sugar & Spike. Bernie understood both grown-up talk and baby talk. He was also an inventor.

From the wiki:

Bernie the Brain, a child genius who, despite being the same age as Sugar and Spike, is an accomplished scientist and inventor who speaks and understands "grown-up talk". When he first encounters Sugar and Spike,[20] he requires a translating device of his own invention to teach him their baby-talk having already progressed past that stage, intellectually. He enjoys the chance to be a normal kid with Sugar and Spike, while the pair loves playing with Bernie's various inventions. The two often seek out Bernie when they encounter something they don't understand, particularly something involving grown-up behavior. Bernie made a cameo in Crisis on Infinite Earths #9 watching Clark Kent on the WGBS television news report on the Crisis and he appears to be very concerned about what is going on.[21]

I'm only familiar with him from that Crisis cameo.

Now don't try this at home. But I'm now thinking of a Legion character *and* a DC character here... AT THE SAME TIME.... SIMULTANEOUSLY...with no mental safety net!

OMG
OMG
OMG

Is your character female?

Yes, she is!

Does she operate as part of a team?

I don't know what will happen when the threads are crossed.

Was she ever a Legionnaire?

Oh thanks a *bunch* Quislet. I really needed to be reminded about the horrors of crossing the threads in the middle of this

She was not a member of a team.

Oh noes! The threads! Oh wait... no she wasn't in the Legion either.

If she robbed a bank would people say "Well D'uh she is a bad guy!"?

Does she have mental powers like Saturn Girl?

No. She has not. Or at least none that I'm aware of, he typed to cover himself later...

Did she debut before Zero Hour?

But she is Legion related?

Originally Posted by Invisible Brainiac

She did.

Originally Posted by Quislet, Esq

She is not.

Recap:

Our female character, who made her debut after Crisis but before Zero Hour, does not have mental super powers but has super strength. She's sometimes as weak as a normal person in daylight and sometimes not. Super strength is not her only power. She is not part of a team, and therefore has never been a Legionnaire.

She would surprise people if she was identified robbing a bank, and if she turned out to be Snarkier than Shadow Lass. She has not appeared in the 30/31 century, and it's something that's possible, she's not Legion related. She has not been romantically involved with another hero in the way that Jo & Tinya are romantically involved.

Has she been part of a superhero team?

Thanks Quis. I've been using that. All recent posts are put up by typing around a cat who thinks the screen is an entertainment centre. She won't budge and I couldn't reach. Think of it as an unofficial Post Wh*** War Thread crossover

Yes. It's the only thing that makes sense. AND it seems like they couldn't come up with anything else by the time the script hit the artist

Has she appeared multiple times in the comics?

Yes, as Wally West's ex, she used to pop up every now and again. This was a few boots ago.

No I meant has your character appeared multiple times?

Tee hee, oh the fun of skim reading posts

Well, if you don't want to talk about Magneta/Magenta >cough<...

Yes, she has.

Alas, poor Frances Kane. We barely knew her...

Is she an Amazon?

She is not an Amazon.

Ah, nearly misread that one. No, she hasn't *only* appeared in a limited series.

Is the color in her code name Green?

Is it Amethyst?

Her codename does not contain green and she is not Amethyst.

Is she a legacy character/ part of a "family" of heroes?

There's at least one other with the same name, but I think it would be a stretch to call her a legacy character.

Is it Deep Blue?

It is not

Has she ever met the Titans?

Not that I'm aware of, but there may have been contact in one of those giant crossovers where everyone meets everyone else in the background.

Was she one of Luthor's empowered Infinity Inc. members?

No, she was not.

Is the color in her code name either Black or White?

It is neither black nor white

is it brown?

It is not.

Is she not a "teen" because she is older than a teen?

Is she friends with a Justice League member?

Did she gain her powers in an accident?

Yes, although going with the arrested development of comic book ages, she may well turn out to be a very late teen. But if she is, she's more in line with the maturity of the Titans than any Teen Titans, if that makes sense.

The recaps do help a lot in that regard

So, thinking of anything in particular?...

I'm not, but maybe Andy is

Don't cross the threads! Don't cross the thre...>BOOM!<

Darn those reality warps and mega-crossover events, merging threads that should be kept separate...

Over to you, Ibby!

Ok, I am thinking of a DCU character...

Has your character ever been a member of the JSA?

Nope.

If your character was gay would the character be thrilled to date Dick Grayson?

Nope, I'm sure if my character were the right sex she would be thrilled to, but she is not.

You do know that the question is to determine gender.

If your character was seen robbing a bank, would people say "Well D'uh, she is a villain!"?

No, people would not say "D'uh, she is a villain!" if my character robbed a bank.

The Chief?

It is the Chief!

I remembered that he took over a superpowered body when the flight question was asked.

Over to you Ibby!

Cool!

No

Does your character wear a cape?

My character has worn a cape before.

Does your character wear a mask?

No.

Has your character fought giant starfish from space, such as Starro.

It's possible, but I struggle to recall a specific instance.

If your character were to fight giant space starfish, is it possible they would do it with teammates?

It's very possible, but it also depends on which writer is writing this character (I would say that's a big clue!)

Is it Jack Knight?

nope

Originally Posted by Ibby

Right up there with "This is an easy one" as a question I'm unlikely to get right any time soon

If the character were to face a giant space starfish, and it weighed about as much as a small truck, could the character lift it?

Yes, this character could

Not while Giffen/DeMatteis were on the book, no.

)

- super powered form does not have to leave body in order to use abilities
- may have fought giant starfish before, but I cannot recall a specific instance
- could lift a starfish the size of a small truck
- didn't appear during the Giffen/DeMatteis run of the JLA
- did not have a confrontation with the Spectre
- not Jack Knight

Is your character a human who is native to Earth?

no

Is your character an animal who is native to Earth?

No

Is your character an alien whose form is humanoid?

yes!

Does your alien character's humanoid form resemble that of a human male?

nope

Is this character generally considered to be heroic?

hmm this character has had a lot of ups and downs through the years... but I think this character would lean heroic

Is this character a ruler of her home planet, or a member of a ruling class (e.g., Princess but not ruling because there's a king)?

Yes, this character would belong to one of those groupings.

My character:

- has worn a cape, but not a mask
- super powered form does not have to leave body in order to use abilities
- may have fought giant starfish before, but I cannot recall a specific instance
- could lift a starfish the size of a small truck
- didn't appear during the Giffen/DeMatteis run of the JLA

- not Jack Knight
- is an alien whose form is humanoid, but does not resemble a human male
- would lean towards being considered heroic, but has had ups and downs through the years
- is either a ruler of home planet, or a member of the ruling class

Maxima?

Yes! It is Maxima, Queen of Almerac!

I've always liked Maxima - that Armageddon 2001 Annual in which Superman marries her is one of my favorite Superman stories ever.

OK, I'm thinking of a DCU character.

Yeah, I always liked Maxima too. I followed her JLA career with interest. I felt that developments after that weakened her character though, by making her obsessed with Superman again.

Is your character male?

My character is male.

My character is considered a villain.

Is your character native to Earth?

My character is native to Earth.

My character did debut prior to the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

My character is primarily the enemy of someone who was a member of the Justice Society during the Golden Age, though not a frequent participant in the team's activities (at least not in stories published during the Golden Age).

My character's code name does not contain a color.

My character is generally depicted as wearing street clothes but in unusual colors/patterns, I don't think that would be considered a costume. If in some adventures he has been seen wearing a "proper" super-villain costume, I am not aware of it and is certainly exception rather than rule.

Not the Fiddler.

I don't believe my character was ever an opponent of the All-Star Squadron.
