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

I remember that, quite a nice story for sure!

The JLA and the JSA must rescue the seven Soldiers of Victory from other periods in time! But where did the seven groups go? I'll take time periods, people they met/ fought or pretty much anything that indicates an answer

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

I'll try:

1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era
2. Speedy -- Pre-Historic Caveman Era
3. Star-Spangled Kid -- Revolutionary France
4. Stripesy -- Ancient Greece
5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire
6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Cvilization
7. Vigilante -- Old West

Good question! This is from a very hazy distant memory:

1. Camelot where they met Merlin I think (Shining Knight?)
2. Old West Indians (Green Arrow?)
3. Dinosaurs era (Crimson Avenger?)
4. Puritan witch-burning early-American era (Star-Spangled Kid?)
5. Attila the Hun (Stripesy?)
6. Robin Hood (Speedy?)
7. French Revolution (Vigilante?)

(P.S. I think you have the next Q in the Star Wars Trivia Thread too TL.)

ACK! EDE just beat me and his answers suggest that some of my hazy recollections were on the right track!

EDE gets off to a flyer with four correct.

Correct:-
1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era
5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire
6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Cvilization
7. Vigilante -- Old West

Incorrect. But two of them are just mixed up:-
2. Speedy -- Pre-Historic Caveman Era
3. Star-Spangled Kid -- Revolutionary France
4. Stripesy -- Ancient Greece

Blacula gets a lot of the settings, but nothing further than EDE's.

I was pretty certain about GA, CA, and Vigilante.

I remember the story - read it twice - but don’t remember the details! I do rememwbr that only one of the Soldiers retained his memory

2. Speedy -- Revolutionary France
3. Stripesy -- Pre-Historic Caveman Era
4. Star Spangled Kid -- Ancient Greece

---

1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era
5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire
6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Cvilization
7. Vigilante -- Old West

Still the four correct.


1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era
2. Speedy -
3. Stripsey -
4 - Star Spangled Kid -
5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire
6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Civilisation
7. Vigilante -- Old West

I’m gonna get one right eventually!

2. Speedy -- Ancient Greece
3. Stripesy -- Revolutionary France
4. Star Spangled Kid -- Pre-historic Caveman era

Remember that Perseverance Lad joined as Matter Eater Lad!

I had to write down the answers for this one as I kept forgetting.

Speedy is correct. He got turned into a centaur by Circe

Star Spangled Kid first appeared as a distortion on a the wall of a prehistoric cave! That tribe died out, as Spangles had altered them to speak in Roy Thomas captions. They spent all their time talking and none of it hunting.

Two for Blacula!

No one was in revolutionary France, which is just where you'd expect someone to pop up for instant drama. But where else could they have been?!


1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era
2. Speedy - Ancient Greece
3. Stripsey -
4 - Star Spangled Kid - Prehistoric cavepeople
5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire
6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Civilisation
7. Vigilante -- Old West

Stripesy - the American Revolution?

I'm thinking Revolutionary France might have been Saturn Girl, in that Universo story where he tosses five Legionnaires through time!

Stripesy - Colonial Africa?

It isn't The American Revolution, although US comics obviously tend to have a focus on their own history, so it's another good guess.

It isn't Colonial Africa. I'm picturing Batman, Hourman and Starman at Rourke's Drift now, after the recent Wheel quiz.

1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era
2. Speedy - Ancient Greece
3. Stripsey -
4 - Star Spangled Kid - Prehistoric cavepeople
5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire
6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Civilisation
7. Vigilante -- Old West

Ancient Egypt?

1920s Gangster era?

1920s gangster era isn't that far removed form the crooks they would beat up in the Golden Age. Stripesy wouldn't want to be taken back to a more complicated world of comics. Come to think of it, none of them wanted to stay where they were.

Despite all of Blacula's valiant efforts on this one, Ibby has guessed the final answer. Stripsey was working away on the one of the pyramids. In between being tortured for the secret of his great strength. "I don't have great strength fellas. I just beat up a lot of gangsters in the 1920s!" he'd shout back.

The scene was also notable for having Starman develop the power to control his energy rod from a distance.


1. Green Arrow -- Sherwood Forest/Robin Hood era
2. Speedy - Ancient Greece
3. Stripsey - Ancient Egypt
4 - Star Spangled Kid - Prehistoric cavepeople
5. Shining Knight -- Mongol Empire
6. Crimson Avenger -- Aztec Civilisation
7. Vigilante -- Old West

Oh yeah, Over to you Ibby!

cool! that was a lucky guess

Wonder Woman once hosted five misguided youths in her apartment. But where were they from originally?

Gorilla City?

They were the original X-Men from the Marvel Universe? Well, they did turn up with their older versions...

Blacula has it! I always found it funny and cool, Diana having 5 gorilla house guests (how did she teach them to use the bathroom??). And 3 chose to stay on Themyscira to guard Hippolyta.

Still not sure how I feel about that. So many cool characters in limbo, but instead we get two versions of each of the original X-Men plus a gazillion clones of Wolverine running about.
