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

Yeah, I realized that now. In my defense I was in bed when guessing him

Dr. Moriarty?

Not Moriarty.

Hint: It is important when All-Star Squadron was published, and when it was set.

Published early 80s. Set early 40s. Could it be Indiana Jones?

Unfortunately, we never got to see the fabulous adventure of Indiana Jones and the Lost Pyramid of Kukulkan, as Indy apparently searched for the pyramid but never found it.

The man who became The Feathered Serpent, however, did discover it, and found the sacred vestments that gave him his powers.

Of course, a key point of his origin is called into question later in the story, so it could all be bunk, but the namedrop of Indiana Jones definitely seems to suggest that there's a real person of that name on Earth-2.

Over to you, thoth.

I'd have liked a GA Hawkman series with its roots in the pulps.

ah, cool. nice question, EDE, and good guessing thoth. I figured it would be along these lines, but was too lazy to search for whether certain characters were public domain or not.

I was mostly trying to steer you towards newer characters with the "public domain" clue.

It's kind of weird to see him referenced as an in-universe character at the height of his popularity, though. It be a bit like if, a few years back, Zatanna had casually mentioned that she just got back from hanging out with Harry Potter or something.

I'm so used to thinking of Roy Thomas looking into the past of things, that I didn't think of him just nipping out to the cinema for something new.

re public domain, I did figure it would be a newer character. Hence my Dr. Evil guess.

Which film did Mekanique originally come from?

War of the Worlds?

Nope. Keep going along these lines.

Time Machine?

Nope, but it is something with sci fi elements.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea?

Nope. You might want to think about what Mekanique is.

I, Robot?

Nope although she is kinda, sorta a robot though. There's a Star Wars link if that helps.

uh....

A New Hope?

Metropolis

EDE has it. Mekanique was taken directly from the end of Metropolis.

What character has both "Ladd" and "Wellington" as middle names?

uhhhhh Gar Logan?

It is not Gar Logan.

Tim Drake?
