[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] I need a ruling from **Maus** - I have no knowledge of what answers would be considered correct. [/QUOTE] I’d say either (1) lump all the no qualifiers “X-Men” answers into their own category, or (2) count them with the “Uncanny X-Men” answers, since that’s what that title is now called.

> [@](#): > > I need a ruling from Maus - I have no knowledge of what answers would be considered correct. It’s a confusing issue. The series began with the title _The X-Men_ back in 1963 and ran with that title until the late seventies. Then they began putting Uncanny on the cover as part of a new look around 1978 but the title was not officially changed to _The Uncanny X-Men_ until 1981. _The Uncanny X-Men_ is still being released. Then in 1991, they started a new series called _X-Men_ which featured some of the original characters from old series. _X-Men_ was later retitled _New X-Men_ in 2001, then back to _X-Men_ in 2004; then _X-Men: Legacy_ in 2008. Then in 1995 and again in 1999, they released two limited run series with the title _Astonishing X-Men_. They were popular and in 2004, _Astonishing X-Men_ became an ongoing series. Although it’s been announced that the name is going to change to _Astonishing X-Men: Second Stage_. But for the point of this game, I’d say they are three different titles. You can go to a comic book store and you’ll see all three of them being separately sold and telling ongoing stories at the same time. ---

Ultra-Humanite 9. Action Comics 10. The Amazing Spider-man Obviously, since I’ve been reading the thread, they don’t count. ---

[QUOTE=Maus Magill] I would go with option 1. Marvel loves their adjectives. [/QUOTE] I would like to point out that while the various comics have a variety of adjectives, the name of the team itself is the X-Men. Question number 4 asks for a team name, not a series name. So X-Men would be the correct answer to that question. For question 10, one of the adjectives would have to be in there. ---

Dang! Don’t know nothin’ about comics. The main ones I used to read were “Tales From The Crypt” and “Little Lulu.” The dichotomy remains to this day.
