> [@SCAdian](#): > > IQs: > > Are you the man without fear? > Are they hanging you in the morning? > Were you a millionaire who taught hand-to-hand combat to the Marines? For IQ1, I’ll guess Daredevil–at least, that’s what I seem to recall from seeing covers of his comic books–“Daredevil: The Man Without Fear.” Unsure though, so if I’m wrong, take a DQ. For IQ2, I’m going to guess Tom Dooley. Again, if I’m wrong, take a DQ. For IQ3, you got me. The only millionaire whom I can think of who did anything remotely like that is Jon Sable, and it’s obviously not going to be him.
