The gauntlet has been thrown. I am determined to stump you on a comic book question.

IQ2: In a crossover with Marvel, did you team with Dr. Doom to take on Superman and Spider-man?
IQ3: Were you originally a crook named Eel O’Brien before you developed super powers and decided to fight crime?
#1. I’m not Prof. Ivo, creator of Amazo. #2. I’m not the Parasite. (Not the best comic team-up ever, BTW IMHO) #3. Eel’s first name is actually Patrick. I’m not Plastic Man.

Were you First Speaker of the Second Foundation? - Preem Palver.
Were the trainer of ancient Greek heroes in the Disney movie Hercules? - Yes, Philoctetes (“Phil”), memorably voiced by Danny DeVito.

IQ1: Were you hired by DC comics to write a letter column while you were still a teenager?

I actually had in mind Paragon for #1. According to Ivo’s wiki, Ivo didn’t actually duplicate super powers. He stole them and imbued his android Amazo with them. There’s no indication he thought the human race was inferior, as far as I can tell. He just didn’t like being among them. So, I’m calling it a DQ, but I’m not finished with testing your DC knowledge yet.
