Re: Comic Book Sheep 2: Crisis on Infinite Sheep

Hmm.. I wasn't aware that legacy character implied they were never bringing back said character.. I think I misunderstood this. I just thought you were looking for a costume/name that was used by more than one person who both had their own title.

But enough wrong answers. Here are some definitely correct ones:


foggy


hitman tommy


fujishig


Meatwad's Ghost


brainee


dadaluholla


Trevor


Nogura


RKillgore

All unique, all worth the -1 unique bonus.

Re: Comic Book Sheep 2: Crisis on Infinite Sheep

I would say Superman counts only if you count "the four new Supermen" that came after Superman #75.

No, what you describe is definitely the definition of a legacy character. The question is, has there been more than one person who has used the Superman name and who has had his own title? Do the Earth-1, Earth-2, and Post-Crisis Clark Kent count as three people or one?

I'd say yes- see Bus' post for why.

Re: Comic Book Sheep 2: Crisis on Infinite Sheep


There have been a number of different versions fo Hawkman over the years, to the point where DC, at one point, threw up its hands and stopped publishing the character because they couldn't figure out which was which. 2 points.

Re: Comic Book Sheep 2: Crisis on Infinite Sheep

Which makes the wrong answers worth 4 points. Since nobody has spoken up in defense of any of them besides Superman, all of the others are wrong. Superman still feels a little fishy to me, but I will allow it on the strength of the Reign of the Superman storyline.

OK. The Excel problem is fixed now. Because davidh was a last-minute entrant, I forgot to tweak one of the formulas for his line of the spreadsheet. Problem solved now.

Nobody went with 2000 AD (or the Beano, for that matter). But let's talk about your answer. It perplexed me, particularly since you used Google. The Bus's answer was, and I quote:

Vaillant*



Yeah. We're going to go ahead and count that as wrong, mkay?
