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.

(oh, and all the different Earths would count as 1 I'd say, too)

One.

Look at all those different versions of Firestorm, several of which had their own titles over the years. 2 poitns each for:

CaptainMarvel
ivelostr2

Hey, everyone! Remember me? The following people do, and get 2 points each.

reverie
Tracer Bullet

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.

Mboyd
Rockmjd23

Which leaves our final two examples, and the two I had in mind when I came up with this question:


Not pictured: Kyle, Guy, John, Wally, and Bart.

Each was worth 3 points!
Flash
JasonF
fumanstan
brianluvdvd

Green Lantern
The Bus
Lokimok
davidh777

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.

You are a wise sheepmaster.

davidh777 gets -4 bonus points for being wicked awesome!

3. R: ×2 Name a series that ran or has run for at least 400 issues

Stupid Excel. I don't know why it did that.

I didn't know if a lot of people were going to go with AD 2000.

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.

I'm sure there are terrific answers for this... none of which I gave.

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?

This was an excellent answer. Well done, Trevor.

This one has been running for well over 400 issues. Smart thinking, maxfisher.

Rahr!!!! Nick Danger smash!

Fantastic Four? More like Fantastic Answer. Good job, Meatwad's Ghost.

You know it's not Prince Valiant, right?
