(This list brought to you by **Maus Magill**!)

_ **Read all the Rules!** _

_ **DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS** _

Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

_ **READ THIS!!!** _

**Write your answers like this** ; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.  
JUST LIKE THIS:

**1. answer  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**

If this format is ignored, **Brujaja** will come in and kick your ass!

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:30 PM Central on Saturday, 5/31/08 whichever comes first. Good luck!

Despite having found this thread before going to work, I’m not even going to try. I’d have to Google every single answer, and that seems like cheating.

I wish I could play this one, but I know absolutely nothing about comics. I’ll just have to wait for the next one.

Commentary:

4 - I can’t believe you disallowed the Avengers, not the team that’s had multiple TV series and 3 theatrically released movies.  
6 - I can’t believe you didn’t disallow the main villain of those movies.  
8 - I was SO tempted to say Hitler…But I figured most people would stick to fictional villains.

[/QUOTE]

As noted, same…seems I should have gone with that instinct.

Also, it should be noted there is currently no title simply called X-Men - there are 5 X-Men books, but all of them have a descriptor - Uncanny, Astonishing, Legacy, Young, and Divided We Fall - and ‘Adjectiveless’ is no more (it is now Legacy).

4. X-Men
5. The Penguin
6. Doctor Octopus
7. The Flash
8. Mister Mxyzptlk
9. _Superman_
10. _The Amazing Spider-Man_

#7 – Jay Garrick, as opposed to the later Flash (Barry Allen), who was my brother Mark’s favorite superhero at one time

#8 – I did Google, but only for the spelling – I hope all variations, as well as “the Superman foe with all those consonants in his name”, are counted together!

#9 and #10 - Since some characters appear in several magazines, I’m trusting that each title will be scored individually.
