> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > **Buck** , I already answered that this person was male (DQ #3). Ask another DQ, if you wish. My question was whether the creator/author was male, not the character, although my question 13 was already answered in question 10, so perhaps I get a replacement for that. IQ: 1. Are you an omniptoent being who takes perverse pleasure interfering in the lives of a particular captain and his crew. 2. Were you a female medical doctor in an 19th century western town. 3. Are you one of the founding members of the brotherhood of evil mutants. ---
