Poison Ivy injected Harley with a serum to protect her from the various poisons and toxins of Ivy’s lair. The serum worked. But, for unknown reasons it also increased Harley’s speed, agility and strength. She had gymnastic skill before(her history retains the gymnastics scholarship). But now, she could win Olympic gold without effort. > ? \*\* YES! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Fiver \* > **F2: Who is Carl and why does he keep dying in a car crash?** He’s the primary “character” in Scott McCloud’s ever-growing strip which illustrates how the human mind subconcsiously invents a connection between static images making them into an ongoing story. Exactly why Carl ends up dying in a crash changes when new panels are inserted in the strip, but in general it’s because he fails to heed his mother’s advice when she says “Don’t drink and _drive_, Carl!” –Cliffy ---

So, these questions: F1: What Palomar resident immolated herself, and who was badly burned in an attempt to save her? F4: How many puppies does Daisy have? …remain to be answered correctly. ---

**RealityChuck** - I just got my copy of The Flash Archives, vol.1, Golden Age, and they claim that Sieur Satan fought the Flash as part of the |“Faultless Four”. Regards, Shodan PS - There were other T.H.U.N.D.E.R. agents who had super powers. When the accelerator ray was developed that gave Lightning his speed, they accelerated the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. team to combat the effects of the slow-down dust the Warlord used. - S ---

Very impressive **Fenris**. You’re wrong about “Affable Al” (as **Fiver** pointed out, it was Alan Moore in 1963 comics, in a vicious parody of Stan Lee), but knowing Harlan Ellison (from “The Dangerous Dreams of Harlequin Ellis”) makes up for it. Yes, **Shodan** – the Jay Garrick Flash fought Sieur Satan et. al. in the first Flash story. As for _I_ – he appeared in the story “The _I_ Who Defeated the Justice League.” The JLA killed him, whereas all he did to them was to make them unable to fight as a team. ---

I’ve got a few to throw into the mix for you all to try: NIS 1: The Legion of Superheroes’ Karate kid was creted by who at the tender age of 13 years old? NIS 2: Name all the members of the first incarnation of Team X. NIS 3: Before joining the Reavers, what job did Cole, Macon and Reese all share? NIS 4: Who was the first superfreak that the Savage Dragon failed to bring in on his first try? NIS 5: What super villain saved the JLA after Prometheus had taked the rest of the team apart? ---
