IQ1: Are you an Ace who fought Mackie Messer?

1 was tricky because the Messer in question was sort of a pseudo-copycat rather than from the original, it was Carnifex in George R.R. Martin’s Wild Cards anthologies. Correct on Cujo.

(I had started brainstorming mono-named C superheroes, and he was who was left once the visual question DQ landed)
