The mail responses indicate that about 50% of my questions can be answered, which is good. It means that they are about the right level of challenge. See how you did on these. 1. It was the SWORDSMAN who married after he had died (in spirit form). 1a. He married the MANTIS; a martial arts expert who was with the AVENGERS for only about 1 year. By the way, she was the first SH to integrate the AVENGERS because she was vietnamese/american. 2. Sam Wilson first became the FALCON at the urgings of CAPTAIN AMERICA who at the time, was in the body of the RED SKULL. (This change was due to RS using the dreaded Cosmic Cube created by the evil Think-Tank A.I.M. 3. As honarary members of the LEGION of Superheroes (LSH), Jimmy Olsen was known as ELASTIC LAD, and Lana Lang was known as INSECT QUEEN. PSYCHO KID was the one never allowed to use his power. His power was to create (psychically) a shield of force so powerful that NO power (including antimatter) could penetrate it. The problem was that each time he used this power it would take away one year from his life span! 4. The four people killed in action of the LSH were: INVISIBLE KID CHEMICAL KING FERRO LAD and one of TRIPLICATE GIRL'S three bodies when she was battling COMPUTO. This is how she became DUO DAMSEL. NEW QUESTIONS 1. What does A.I.M. stand for? 2. The BLACK PANTHER is chief of what African tribe and what precious mineral is on their tribal land? 3. Who shouted: IMPERIUS REX ? 4. When Jack Kirby defected from MARVEL to DC in the early 70's, he created a whole new series: NEW GODS, FOREVER PEOPLE and MISTER MIRACLE. Which character in this series created the BOOM TUBE? 5. What's the name of Wonder Woman's plane? Good Luck and SYITFP! --Jim ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
