The Non-Superhero Comic Book Trivia Thread!

Correct (or you could have just said it’s Captain Marvel’s logo)

Have a question?

Bosda:

Really? I only ever remember seeing Miss Grundy in sweats occasionally acting as a girls’ coach. If that’s who you mean, then I say objection overruled: coaching is not her primary function. If there’s some other character with that designated job, I plead ignorance. Tengu got the two I was thinking of (though I think the white one’s name is spelled with a K).

You are correct - I was going by memory (and it’s been a long time since I’ve read Archie), and ‘corrected’ the spelling in my brain.

sure!

  1. What shape is the nemesis of Amy Smootster?
  1. Plexus Rangers
  2. Voice of Fate (at least in the comic as opposed to the movie)
  3. Was it Ilsa?

I recall 13 members:
Hawk
Snake Eyes
Scarlett
Stalker
Grunt
Flash
Zap
Breaker
Short-Fuse
Steeler
Clutch
Rock ‘n’ Roll
Grand Slam

CORRECT! With Bonus Points!

The answer to the extra bonus question is “Shooter”, a clever way to get Editor-In-Chief Jim Shooter’s name in the comic. :cool:

For what it’s worth, I did that from memory, having sold my complete run of G.I. Joe comics on eBay last year. Yes, it helped with a couple months’ rent, in case you were wondering.

  1. Yes
  2. Yes
  3. Ilda, but it was nswered earlier in the thread.

You’re up for some questions BBVL

  1. In Hellboy, the title character is summoned to earth during “Project Ragnarok” and taken into a church by which people?

  2. Dr. Alec Holland, of Swamp Thing, is called by which name in “House of Secrets”?

  3. Morpheus is the lord of the Dreaming in Sandman. What’s the full name of the Dreaming’s janitor?

  4. What was the name of Hellblazer’s John Constantine’s short-lived rock band?

I SHOULD know two of the other three, but ol’ Mervyn Pumpkinhead is the only one I’m not blanking on.

What happened to Shiro Iwa Jr High, Grade 9, Class B? (Designation from official English translation of the comics book. A literal translation, or the novel may differ, and I can’t remember the movie for the life of me, ATM.)

  1. Alec Olson

  2. Mucous Membrane?

My questions:

  1. Who was the partner (for most of his adventures) of Tommy Tomorrow?

  2. Who was the leader of Night Force, and what kind of pet did he or she have?

Designating this question #34

They were shipped off to participate in Battle Royale.

Bingo

  1. Baron Winters lead the Night Force. His pet was a leopard (or maybe an ocelot, anyways, it was yellow with black spots).

NOTE: Calling a moratorium on two-part and multi-part questions. They just kill trivia threads dead. For example, I’ve read enough Enemy Ace to know that he flies a red Fokker triplane, but I haven’t read every Enemy Ace story ever published, which is it what you’d need to do to remember the occasion when he flew something else. This is a broad, general topic.

My questions:

  1. DC brought back 40s funny animal Peter Porkchop to become which member of the Zoo Crew?
  2. What is Odin Quincannon’s nickname?

Pig Iron. (Awful iffy inclusion in this thread, innit? Granted he wasn’t a superhero in the '40s, but…)

  1. What was Johnny the Homicidal Maniac looking for when he first met Squee?

:smiley: I loved that character.

cmkeller gets my two cookies (from the Progenitor question) for numbers 29 and 31.

Half-right. But Enemy Ace’s latest appearance in print establishes the second. In a particularly impressive way.

35)Super-Swine? (Doesn’t this violate the “no supers” rule?)

I’ll ask one.

Tommy Tomorrow, in an alternate future, became known by what name?

Has everybody given up on the Enemy Ace question? :smiley:
