No more takers? To keep it moving I'll hint that the character is *not* from the Silver Age.

It was the prim guy from the Pantheon (Paris?), because no-one ever had called Robert Bruce Banner "Bobby".

Got it! And indeed, it was Paris, who was an empath.

The mental condition (madness) that Eternals are susceptible to, correct?

Going back one question, I just wanted to say nobody ever called him Robert either until the TV series. Bruce must have just not been macho enough for a 70's TV lead.
Though that could be precisely why Stan Lee picked the name in the first place, to contrast with untramuscular Hulk.
And now, back to your game...

Shining Son, I also think at the time of the TV show "Bruce" was something of a slang for a gay man. So there was a little bit of homophobia behind the name change IMHO

Bruce became "Robert Bruce" Banner simply because Stan Lee went a whole story in TTA calling him "Bob Banner". Same way the second story in ASM #1 stars "Peter Palmer", Lee has always had a bad memory - so many early Marvel characters named by him have alliterative names as an aide mémoire for him - clearly though, not a foolproof one! This one, they codified rather than ignored. Originally posted by ActorLad:

And now, back to your game... He was actually David Banner for the TV series, but yes, probably for the same reason.

It seems there's an increased tendency to introduce offspring of super-heroes these days in main continuity, what's the name of Doctor Strange's kid?

Nope!
You know I've heard good things but I haven't had the opportunity to read Leave It To Chance.

Forgot it was still my turn. That's incorrect but I will confirm that said offspring is female.

Sofia Strange it is, she appeared in the most recent and extremely short-lived Epic Anthology.

Correct. Archie asks Betty to call him that in the first issue. She ignores that and keeps calling him Archie

I have no idea how I knew that.
Question - Milou is the original (and still current in some parts of the world) name of which comics animal?
