I am “Radar” O’Reilly. (Real first name varies depending on source.)

Congrats Prof!

I hadn’t seen a non-Real person in this game for quite a while, so I had to give that a shot.

I had a bit of a dilemma with the question, “First appear since 1964?” since it wasn’t entirely clear if that meant within canon or not and the answers were different, but I thought the most likely intent of the question was publication date.

A pilot that aired once to little attention, “WALTE*R” starred Radar as the protagonist, so I sort of waffled on #5.

212

Most of us would not think of Radar as a protagonist. I think you did well.

I am P!

IQ2: Are you an eco-terrorist who often finds yourself at odds with Batman?
IQ3: Are you an occult superhero who is possibly a fallen angel denied by Hell as well?

I am neither Professors Pepperwinkle nor Plum.
Take a DQ for #3.

218

Take 2 DQs for #1 and #3.
I am neither Pogo nor Porky Pine. (They both said it.)

219

If you’re at all interested in the genre, I highly recommend Harry Potter and the Natural 20 and its sequels. He’s on the third book now.
Correct. (I was thinking of Pogo.)
