Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The 3 for 1 general quiz

Another hint for #1...this question has to do with the actors who portrayed each of these characters on live action television. I think if you knew or found out who played each character in the decade that I mentioned, this would be pretty obvious

1. Each character was played by two different actors during the course of their respective series.

2. The whip.

3. They all have the same name.

That's right...Phyllis Coates and Noel Neill for Lois Lane, Jackson Bostwick & John Davey (I think?) for Captain Marvel, John Haynes-Newton & Gerard Christopher for Superboy, and Michael Landes and Justin Whalin for Jimmy Olsen...

My specific thing was that as far as I know (I could have missed someone), they are the only comic book characters who were played regularly on a live action TV series by more than one actor, with no particular explanation for their recasting (no internal reason for a new actor to play the part, unlike the recasting of Lex Luthor on Superboy). Various actors playing the same villain on the old Batman series didn't count because they weren't regular characters.

By the way, the three guys from the book of acts were all named Ananias.

In deference to the rules of this game, only one of the following questions is related to music.

1. What do the years 1962, 1980, and 2001 have in common?

2. What do Eric Braeden and Hans Gudegast have in common?

3. Name four Legionnaires who were over the age of 18 when they joined the Legion during the Adventure run.

Clues:

1. This is the question that is related to music. The years are significant for one band in particular.

2. Both are German-American actors, but they also have something else in common.

3. One was a regular member. The other three were not. (Also, there is more than one way to interpret part of this question.)

1. Hm. I'll bite. I'm not sure of the years, but it looks like the Beatles. Are those the years that band members died? Stu in 1962, John in 1980, George in 2001?

2. They were both transvetites?

3. Polar Boy was after the Adventure run, so I'd say Mon-el was the regular member.

#3 would include Mon-El, but also I think Polar Boy (who was almost certainly over 18 when the Subs merged with the Legion in the Adult Legion Story, and also Mxyzptlk V and Luthor V, who join at the end of that story. Also, in an earlier Adventures era-tale, Lightning Lord, Saturn Queen, and Cosmic King all join the the Legion for a bit, albeit after all the regular members had been expelled.

I'm guessing KryptonKid is right about #1, and I happen to have discovered the answer to #2 when I was looking up Eric Braeden to remind myself of who he was. I'll post it later if nobody else gets it.

Numbers one and three are both correct. Still waiting on two ...

1. The years that Beatles died

2. They are the same person - Gudegast is Braeden's real name.

3. Mon-El, Lightning Lord, Saturn Queen, and Cosmic King.

You got it, Kent.

Gudegast was known by his real name when he starred in "The Rat Patrol" in the 1960s. Later, he was "forced" to change his name to Braeden in order to play the lead in a film. It proved to be a wise choice, as he worked consistently afterwards, including on "The Young and the Restless."

Which group of four Legionairres were you originally thinking of, HWW?

1. What four cities have the highest numbers of Canadians living there?

2. In killing 1,000 to 1,600 people in a single day, an airborne "Legion" inspired a world-famous anti-war mural. Name the legion, the artist and the mural.

3. What turns 100 on Friday?

1. Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver...and Seattle?
2. I guessed Picasso & Guernica before I looked it up. Discovered the name of the Legion, but I never would have known that otherwise.
3. The traffic light? Just guessing here

Mon-El and the LSV. I had forgotten about the Adult Legionnaires, but they certainly qualify.

Xben:

1. 3/4 correct
2. 2 out of three... but you didn't name the legion.
3. nope.

Long time and no guesses...

1. Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Chicago
2. Condor Legion, Picasso, Guernica
3. SOS as an international distress signal

Some of these I cheated on, others I knew (as seen before), and others I am just guessing

you are sooooo close.

1. 3 out of 4... still one wrong!
2. spot-on
3. U got it.

Maybe there's not the "trick" to this that I assumed there would be...

1. Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Ottawa
2. Condor Legion, Picasso, Guernica
3. SOS as an international distress signal

1. you've named 1,2,3again, this time with #5... still missing #4!
2. still good
3. still right.

I'm trying to think of a hint that won't give it away completely... I guess I'll just say it part of the city lies alongside an ocean.

1. Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Boston
2. Condor Legion, Picasso, Guernica
3. SOS as an international distress signal

According to something I looked up, Ottawa is the 4th biggest city in Canada. If that's right, it has to be out of the USA. If I'm wrong about that, maybe you could give a hint on that, Kent.

Anyway, Boston is another guess.

Or maybe it's Los Angeles?

LA it is!

Since this has dragged on long enough (and you've been the only serious guesser), I won't be a stickler about reposting all the correct answers.

Go ahead, Xben!
