Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly I'm thinking of a DCU character...

Did this character debut prior to Zero Hour?

Does this character wear a costume?

(also as we are on a new page, do we get a recap?)

Yes


Summary
An anti hero more than a super hero
Sort of has super powers
Would probably survive being locked in a bank vault that could only be opened in twelve hours, by escaping using whatever abilities and/or equipment he or she would utilize in a normal adventure
Doesn't mostly wear blue clothing, although Tuesday may be more blue than other days.
Has no connection to magic or the supernatural
Powers depend on some external device or object
Is male
stories set in the 20th/21st centuries
No sidekick
has had their own title
did not debut prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths but was before Zero Hour
Has not been published by a company other than DC Comics
Hasn't ever been animated

I'd say no, but your mileage may vary on that one.

Does this character typically appear in a Batman title?

Was this character ever a member of a military or police force?

No he doesn't.

thinks...no, no he wasn't.

Does he appear in the superhero genre primarily?

That's the closest match.

Would he walk a mile for a Camel (cigarette)?

Sometimes yes, but other times possibly not.

Did this character appear in a series whose title was his code name?

Yes

Does this character's code name start with a letter from A to M?

Has this character ever been part of a team?

I always feel as though the question has outlived it's appeal when this one comes up

Yes

No team membership

Thank you! I made a post about this line of questioning a few pages ago but everyone ignored it. It's a fun-killer.

Is this a wholly original character as opposed to a legacyish sort of character (e.g. Dr Fate/Fate)?

Humph. I am pretty much he only one who asks this question.

Is it 'Mazing Man?

It's as original as these things get. But it's not a legacy character.

Tee hee I wasn't ignoring Blacula's post, but just sitting back and hoping it would weave it's magic.

I always think I've picked something daft, obscure and therefore irritating when it comes up. In the same sort of way that picking some bloke second from the left in a bland Batman issue as your character*. As long as no one is deliberately messing it around, it shouldn't take forever.

I swear this one only got vaguer when the questions started!


*just preempting the next character**

**And yes, the lady third from the left is just as lame, and I don't care how well she accessorizes.

No, it isn't 'Mazing Man.

the superhero genre is the closest match to a genre for this guy.
He would sometimes walk a mile for a Camel, but on other occasions it's likely that he wouldn't.
Appears in a series whose title was his code name.
Code name start with a letter from A to M
No team membership
An original-y character and not a legacy character.
Not 'Mazing Man
