It’s funny. Until Buck’s IQ, it didn’t even cross my mind that that film had two prominent ‘C’ characters, with the other one being _in the title_. On to X… IQ1: Are you the man with X-Ray eyes? IQ2: Did you found a school for mutants? IQ3: Were you the happy hooker? ---

1. Did you have a vengence demon as a girl friend 2. Were you originally a villain in one television series but eventually became a hero with your own more popular spinoff series. 3. Were you the bad guy in a violent graphic novel about the heroic last stand of a massively outnumbered force. ---
