Prince (George) Matchabelli, perfume magnate

Name 5 Monsters who appeared in the Toho production “Destroy All Monsters.”

This may be a correct answer. We won’t know for sure until he (the Earl of Wessex) dies or otherwise becomes ineligible to succeed.

Stephen Decatur was at Tripoli but was not the Marine in question.

Please see:

I’ll add another prince, just to be on the safe side: Prince Albert Victor of Wales, the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, who died of pneumonia in 1892 and has since been mentioned as a possible suspect in the Jack the Ripper murders.

Mothra
Rodan
Godzilla
Gorosaurus
Manda

Name five European capital ships sunk in World War Two (bonus: and how they were sunk and who sunk them!)

Mandy
Lola [1]
Roxanne
Billy Jean
Maria

[1] Doesn’t matter if the name actually refers to a woman, does it?

ETA dammit. Leaving it up since there were no overlaps between my answer and straight man’s.

Name five DC Comics characters who had the same costume and secret identity in the Golden Age and the Silver Age.

Bismarck, sunk by torpedos by Royal Navy
Arizona, sunk by aerial bombardment by Imperial Japanese Navy
Hood, destroyed by Bismarck due to explosion in powder magazine
Yamato, destroyed by aerial bombardment by U.S. Navy
Yorktown, sunk by a Japanese submarine while being towed after ship abandoned
Name five people who are famous primarily for having sex with other famous people

The Arizona, Yamato and Yorktown weren’t “European.” Substitute:

Graf Spee, scuttled by its own Kriegsmarine crew after being blockaded in Uruguay.
Tirpitz, bombed by British and sunk at anchor in Norwegian fjord.
HMS Prince of Wales, bombed and sunk at sea in Pacific by Japanese.

Repeated: Name five DC Comics characters who had the same costume and secret identity in the Golden Age and the Silver Age.

And neither is Reza Pahlavi (mentioned in Astorian’s response to your post on princes), as Iran is in Asia. Prince Rainier never became king, but he did rule Monaco, so naming him wouldn’t be in the spirit of the query.

You’re right, I blew it on that one. Sorry.

Hang on a second - we’ve got two questions on the board and everyone has given up?

Name five DC Comics characters who had the same costume and secret identity in the Golden Age and the Silver Age.

Name five people who are famous primarily for having sex with other famous people
