Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Non-Legion Comics Trivia Thread Pt 5

The Guardian and the Phantom Lady are the two rescuers! The Guardian didn't make many All Star appearances, so it was something new to younger readers. Sandra Knight did appear a bit more often. But wasn't really one of the core cast.

Fury's Golden Age character, while not the Crimson Avenger, is just a little later and follows a similar approach.

Fury's villain is one I first saw in the 1970s JSA comics, and he may have travelled through time to be in this era. The character shares part of a name with a Charlton hero, whose successor would hav ehtier own title many years later.

While Manhunter had naming problems with another golden age charatcer, Northwind's Golden Age character's issue was only about the costume. It was a complete clash with a more prominant Golden Age figure (although wasn't that character's oiriginal costume) and got a spiffy update for this title.

Red Tornado?

Golden Age character - Midnight?
Villain - Deathbolt?

Not Red Tornado, although the villain has powers based on another of the elements.

Not midnight. The character who was an early DC character has gone on to be one of their biggest. The character with the costume change, started off in yellow and purple.

Vandal Savage?

Golden age character - Zatara?
Villain - Mister Atom?

Still To Get:-

GA Hero: Fury's Golden Age character, while not the Crimson Avenger, is just a little later and follows a similar approach. Crimson Avenger is often in the shadow of this character, due to its success. The character who was an early DC character has gone on to be one of their biggest. He is very prominant across multiple titles.

GA Villain: Fury's villain has opposite powers to a snowman. He is one I first saw in the 1970s JSA comics, and he may have travelled through time to be in this era, as his first appearance was actually in the 1970s. The character shares part of a name with a Charlton hero, whose successor would hav ehtier own title many years later. The heroic character who shartes the the main part of the name, made an appearance as one of the Mordru zombies in v4 of the Legion, and would have appeared in War of the Gods.

Batman...?

Given the hint, the villain's name must be some variation of "Vulcan", but I don't remember the character. For now, I'll simply guess "Vulcan".

As for the Golden Ager, I suspect Ibby has it - I was sure that I'd previously seen Batman in the "NOT" list, but a careful re-look shows me that he is actually not there.

I also had to check to see if Batman had been guessed

Batman is the Golden Age hero, and it was indeed Vulcan as the villain.

I was wondering why Batman kept evading guesses.

All of this occurred in the first appearance of Infinity Inc, in All Star Squadron. Roy Thomas certainly introduced readers to a host of fantastic golden age characters. Having the likes of The Guardian appear was a treat.

And so ends probably the longest question in this thread. Next time, I'm going for a one character answer.

As Chaim got the last character, it's over to you Chaim!

now that I think about it, Batman would make tons of sense if Robin and / or Huntress were there. guess I just personally tend to forget Superman and Batman existed during the Golden Age AND even tended to influence Earth-2 history after!

Sorry for keeping y'all waiting - was away on family vacation for three days. Tons of fun at Luray Caverns, Virginia. Highly recommend.

Which super-hero was once pulled over by L.E.G.I.O.N. officers for speeding (186,000 miles per second - it's not just a good idea, it's the law!)

The Ray?

Nope.

Lightray?

glad you had a nice vacation!

Captain Comet?

Thanks!

Neither Lightray nor Captain Comet.

Disappointing that Luray didn't filter into the answer, when we guessed Ray and Lightray.

A Green Lantern?

Not a Green Lantern.

Hint - this hero is not known for having off-Earth adventures, or at least wasn't at the time of the incident being described.

Starman (Will Payton)?

Correct! It was at the end of a very out-of-character issue in which Will fought Valor with Mister Nebula and the Scarlet Skier involved.

I have a very vague recollection of this. Wonderfully obscure but definitive question.

Can you list all the serious relationships the adult Lana Lang has had? I count four. Can you remember more?
