I gave in and looked it up. I still wouldn’t have gotten it. I’m disqualifying myself. EH, all up to you.

209

But you do know the guy, right?

210

I honestly didn’t remember the character being in the movies, and I’m a huge fan of the actor. That’s why I have to take a break from this game every once in a while. I get huge gaps in my memory and have to grow back my missing brain cells.

211

I’m still drawing a blank. I give up.

212

Okay. Basically it boils down now to whether or not EH saw Black Panther.

I am Andy Serkis’s character, Ulysses Klaue, vibranium-stealing weapons dealer, who is known in the comic books as Klaw.

If not, the V round goes back to EH.

213

I’m good with it. I remember the comic book Klaw, but not the movie version, and it didn’t occur to me until now they were the same character. It was like the first time Agent Coulson explained to the Avengers who he was working for, and he gave the full name of SHIELD without mentioning the acro. It totally slipped by me.

Just when I think the Marvel movies and shows ignore the Silver Age, they throw in the occasional throwback, but redesigned. For example, the comic book version of Arnim Zola has his face in the middle of his torso, but the movie version had him as a living computer of sorts.

214

I did see the movie, and remember the character, but not his first name. Good one, Prof. P.! Want to start a new thread for March and the letter V?
