DQ: (earned yesterday evening around this time…) Would it be accurate to describe these books, stories and these films as belonging to the mystery genre?
I’ll hang on to my remaining DQ for the moment, if I may. (I don’t think I’ll try this ‘three IQs in a burst’ lark again - I prefer to have a little time to think and draw on other peoples’ ideas…)

504

IQ: Are you an actress who battled a gelatinous mass in your first headlining film role?

505

IQ: Are you a charter member of the Secret Society of Supervillains?

(Side talk) Thinking about comic books/strips, but not forgetting about television.

508

No, I’m not Sauron?

509

I never saw the movie version of Gidget. Was Moondoogie a gelatinous mass in that one?
I was looking for Shawnee Smith, the lead in the 1980s remake of The Blob. She’s best known now as one of the villains of the “Saw” films.

You are not Friedrich Schiller, who wrote “Ode to Joy”

Only 4 DQs left. I’m going to need to think this over before I take my 2.

510

The Secret Society was a DC thing in the 1970’s, and Sinestro is who I had in mind. I was hoping that maybe he appeared in the recent Green Lantern movie, though as an alien, English is unlikely to be his native languge. Star Sapphire would also have met the “S” requirement.

DQ: Did you first appear in a comic book, comic strip, or graphic novel?

Tris Speaker was from Texas. Donora, a Pennsylvania town, produced Stan Musial.

Do you have a dumb but evil henchman named Cad?

515

OK, everyone who earned a DQ in this round may now each ask a single “Are you ____?” question.

If no one has guessed who I’m thinking of by 9am EST Mon., I’ll start the next round.
