Good job on the first two.  
3. Daredevil. The ooze that hit Matt Murdock on the eyes to blind him leaked down into the sewer to mutate the turtles.

WHOOOP! WHOOOP! WHOOOP! We have a winner!

Yes, I am _ **Ani DiFranco** _; singer, songwriter, guitarist, poet, feminist and LGBTQ icon, founder of Righteous Babe Records, and, in my opinion, the greatest American lyricist in the past 50 years. (Incidentally, the DQ answer about being an American (so far) was a reference to a line in her song “Every State Line”: "He said, ‘Are you an American citizen?’ I said, ‘Yes, sir. So far.’ ")

Congratulations, **CFOHG**!

In Firefox, I right clicked on the image I wanted and selected “Copy Image Link”  
I then pasted the link into my reply and Discourse did the rest. This was on a desktop - not sure if I could do it on my phone.
