Knew I should have gone with my second choice.

Well, when you put it that way... I guess it's too late to change, huh?

(although for sheep, looks like it was good!)

And now, the penultimate question:

24. S: ×4 Name one of the original members of the Sinister Six (Hint: They fought Spider-Man)

Six possible correct answers, plus two of you named villains who were in a later incarnation of the six. Do we dare unveil the results?

Let's start with the incorrects:

Nogura and Trevor didn't even match each other. Sorry guys!

Electro and Mysterio got no love. Which means that for our purposes today, the Sinister Six are the Sinister Four. Which one was most popular?

Not the Vulture, that's for sure. A measly -8 points for hitman tommy and -4 points for a contestant who had to use Google to come up with this answer. Let's see ... that contestant was .... let me check my notes ...

Oh my! It was the Bus! Our frontrunner has stumbled! Anything has happened! Contenders, this is your chance!

There are 21 contestants left. If they divided evenly among the remaining 3 members, that's only -28 points each, and the Bus is probably still in the game. If it was more lopsided ... well, anything can happen.

Only Captain Marvel went with Kraven. No points for him, and things are looking more promising for everyone else ...

Two villains left, both of them featured in the movie series. Which one did you pick?

You picked the Sandman!

. . . it doesn't look like I'm going to meet my goal of top 50% this time . . .

My lifelong near-refusal to read or acknowledge the presence of Marvel comics is not working well for me.

I'll just retreat to Keystone City, savor my near lock on Bizarro first place, and label you all Zombies.

That previous message was directed to Mboyd and Tracer Bullet. They get -8 points. Everyone else picked Doc Ock and gets -72 points except as indicated below:

Wow, I made it up to 7th after being 2nd to last. Nice!

I matched a sheep question!

And with one question left, fujishig has retaken the lead. Can he hang on to it?

2 foggy -208

23 Nogura -83
24 hitman tommy -56
25 Trevor -28

And now ... the final question. For quintuple points and all the marbles:

25. R: ×5 Captain Marvel draws his power from six different beings when he says the word "Shazam."* Name one of those beings.*

Wow, I fucked it up big time. I answered that as Reverse.

Thinking with the big brain pays off! (Scarlet Witch was a great, if not sheepish, answer)

The first sheep I've had to use google on..

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/sports-talk...-overtime.html has questions up, BTW

Let's start with our most popular answer:

Achilles was worth 45 points -- more if you Googled.
brainee (50 points)
davidh777
fujishig
ivelostr2 (46 points)
maxfisher (49 points)
Nogura
orangecrush (48 points)
reverie (46 points)
Rockmjd23

fujishig is on that list! Will his Reverse Sheep miscalculation allow someone else to pry victory away from him?!?

Did you decide to avoid the Greeks and go all Jewy? If you did, well done. You only matched one other person and got a mere 10 points:
RKillgore
Tracer Bullet

Another good answer?

Also worth 10 points
hitman tommy
Meatwad's Ghost

Strength, Health, Aptitude, Zeal, Ox (the power of), Ox, (the power of another), and Money.
