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

Has your character had two code names?

I don't believe he has. I think you probably know the details of the story in question better than I do.



Sort of.

Is your character American?

Originally.

Has more than one person used this identity/identities?

Is it Death Man/Lord Death Man?

Is your character proficient in any martial arts?

No.



He has at least some martial arts skills.



Indeed it is!

Death-Man, created by Robert Kanigher, originally appeared in Batman #180, as a villain who would always die whenever he was caught, only to resurface later with new crime spree. It turns out he was using a trick to fake his death, and his original story ends with his ironically dying for real.

It's a pretty cool mid-60s checkerboard era Bat-story, made even cooler by the fact that it was adapted as the first arc in Jiro Kuwata's super-groovy Bat-manga a few months later, with the character renamed "Lord Death Man". This version of the story was also adapted not too long ago on an episode of the Batman: the Brave and the Bold cartoon.

He also apparently made a brief appearance in an issue of Superman/Batman, where he was treated as a bit of a joke, before being resurrected (no pun intended) more recently by Grant Morrison, who used him in Batman Incorporated where he had now moved to Japan and was menacing the Japanese Batman, Mr. Unknown. Morrison also gave him "an upgrade" with the ability to genuinely regenerate any time he is killed.

Over to Dave!

Cool. I figured when you changed your mind about the `Not on Earth` thing, that he may have been shot into space.

OK, I`m thinking of a character.

@ Eryk. One I've not heard of at all.


Dave, Does your character wear a costume?

Yeah, originally I read the question as asking whether he'd been on another planet, but then when I was doing the summary I realized he'd been in space, so, yeah, that qualifies as somewhere other than Earth.


Q: Is your character a super-hero?

Yes.



No.

Is your character a villain?

Interesting character EDE.

Nice going Dave. Is your character male?

The Character would be considered a villain and male.

Would this character be considered a foe of either the Justice League of America or one of its members?

If this character has a super-power, does any LSH member in history have the same or similar super-power?

No, this character wouldn't be considered a foe of a Justice League of America member.



Hey, isn't that a sneaky way of getting in two questions?

No this character's powers aren't similar to a Legion member's powers.

^ Haha. I hadn't meant it to be, I promise.

Is this character the foe of any hero or group of heroes who have had their own Vertigo series?

Did this character appear prior to Crisis on Infinite Earths?

Yes.



No.

Did this character appear prior to Zero Hour?

Is this character's powers linked to magic?

Yes.



No (ish).

Has your character appeared in more than one issue?
