Once we hit 11-13, I am surely doomed.

No kidding. Although, even if Bagley isn't exclusive to Marvel anymore, I kinda thought his name was synonymous with the company these days.

Question 5: Name a Silver Age Marvel character



Look at all those Silver Age Marvel characters? Which one did you pick? More importantly, which one did everyone else pick?

fujishig

Argh... more nerds here than I thought. I was thinking Superman for the first answer, but I put him for JLA founder (even though in current continuity he wasn't technically a founder... or was he? I'm confused), so I didn't want to put him twice, and I wasn't sure how many would consider him a GA character.

Also, I thought people would have a more modern tint to their answers, so I put JRJr instead of Sr. or Ditko (and I didn't use a google Image search... though I wish others had). I also thought Bagley, who drew Amazing for so long and then Ultimate Spidey forever, would've gotten more votes.

Let's see how stong your geek-fu is when it comes to Question 5

The Amazing Spider-Man (21): JasonF, Meatwad's Ghost, MHepburn20, fujishig, Trevor, Rockmjd23, Nick Danger, dvdhook, Captain Marvel, MBoyd, brianluvdvd, The Bus, Palaver, maxfisher, RKilgore, Mordred, Prepper, Bandit03, fumanstan, Hokeyboy, Lokimok
The Invincible Iron Man (2): dadaluholla, ivelostr2
The Incredible Hulk (0): davidh777
Captain America (0): reverie
Kamandi (0): burnside986

I didn't deduct points from those of you who said "Spiderman" even though the character has a hyphen in his name. But what I really want to know is how Captain America managed to escape the Silver Age without getting one of Stan Lee's patented adjectives.

JasonF

Answers other than Spider-Man were ... painful.

Not last! (and even if I got the Golden Age answer wrong with Spidey, at least I knew to hyphenate his name ).

Mhepburn20

Kamandi? Isn't EVERYTHING about that wrong? Silver Age? barely. Marvel? no. Burnside are you playing a different game. poking fun in good fun.

fujishig

Oh crud, Captain America! I think I'm going to get destroyed on Question 10 now. I really should've taken more time answering the questions...

reverie

Um... me too. Despite the fact I used Cap in this earlier question!

Question 6: Name a member of the X-Men



I wonder if anybody picked Marrow?

oh man game over now. I thought too many comic people would be sick of wolverine and put someone else. Clearly I was wrong.

fujishig

Phew, I was going to put Maggot or Dr. Reyes or Mimic, but changed my answer at the last moment to Wolverine.

Hokeyboy

Was "Mimic" the one from the animated series?

Mhepburn20

So my only sort of interested in comic books roommate is now officially beating me. She's following along in the thread and wanted to let me know. She literally has read Fables and that's about it. Shame!

Hokeyboy

Turn in your geek card immediately. Then go out and score lots of babes, make truckloads of cash, and wield immense power and influence that actually makes a difference in society.

You are no longer one of the self-important nerdlings of the Internet!!

JasonF

Wait until she gets to the "Name a Vertigo title" question.

Question 7: Name a member of the Legion of Superheroes



They're superheroes and they're in the future. What's not to love?

fujishig

darnit, the number one answer better not be supergirl or superboy... how many times can Kal top this list?

Mhepburn20

I actually think I kept overthinking the questions. Superboy and Supergirl didn't count as members in my head. I hope they aren't number 1 and 2
