Comic Book Trivia

Time to figure out who is considered Comic Vine's best and brightest. I will post an initial trivia question pertaining to comic books and you will try to answer it. And please don't Google it because that takes the fun out of it.

After you know you're right please post your own question

In what issue did Spider-man first appear?

@sophia89: nope

An anthology title called Amazing Fantasy...don't remember what number.

You must have forgotten that we have the Google. ~ ^_^

@darthmummy: eh I'll give it to ya. It's 15. Now please ask your own question

@kingvenus: I specified in the OP. PLEASE DON'T GOOGLE! IT KILLS THE FUN!

@batbro15:

Amazing Fantasy

wildvine and darthmummy are both correct. One of you post a question

What issue did Constantine say "Bullocks"

Beware, it's a tough one.

Okey doke.

The villainous artificial intelligence Ultron once built himself a robot mate based on the brain patterns of Janet Van Dyne, the wife of his "father", scientist Henry Pym.

What ancient Greek tragedy was the name of Ultron's bride a reference to?

Oedipus Rex

Correct. Your turn to ask a question.

@darthmummy: Cool, let me think of one real quick.

What was the title of the comic-inside-a-comic found in Watchmen?

The Black Freighter..?

@darthmummy: Almost there.

@immortalone: Isn't he close enough? That's pretty much it :)

@darthmummy: @batbro15:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Not sure how accurate it has to be. Close enough I guess; full title was Tales of the Black Freighter.

Of course. Tales...

What ancient cosmic entity did the JLA do battle with in Grant Morrison's final arch writing the title?

Tezcatlipoca aka Aztec

Just a thought, try to tag the person that asked the question when you answer so they can respond back

Correct, but he was not called Aztec. Aztek was a champion of Tezcatlipoca's rival Quetzalcoatl. T11 was also called Mageddon in the stroy. Your turn to ask a question.

True or False: Ultimate Janet Pym was of asian descent?

@rd189: true. I think it was her mom?

@batbro15: That is correct. Her mother was a Japanese fashion designer.

What was the first cross company comic book crossover between DC and Marvel?

@batbro15: That would be Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man, published in 73 if I'm not mistaken. The two companies had done a Wizzard of Oz title before, but SMvsASM was the first time separate characters from each company were published together in a single title.

@rd189: Excellent job. You got both of them. Your turn

In what way did Spider-Man defeat Morlun in their first encounter?

with his bat-mobile

With guile.

How is this off topic?

@darthmummy: @tbrand32300: Nope, but bonus points for creativity ^.^

@heatblaze123: idk, it just seemed too fun for Gen. Discussion

@rd189: something to do with radiation, but I dont remember what

@batbro15: You win for being closest. The correct answer is that he took radioactive material from a nuclear power station and injected it into his blood, thus increasing his overall radiation levels, making himself unpaltable to Morlun

Batman has an alias that he uses when undercover outside of the Batsuit. What is the name of this alias?

@batbro15: Matches Malone, Sir Hemingford Grey, Mordecai Wayne, The Insider, Lefty Knox, or Minuteman.

@parachomp: Got all of them. Your turn

Batman.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner.

Hmm...

Which company was the last one to drop the Comics Code Authority?

Wow. Are you sure you didn't use Google?

@darthmummy: Oops...

:D

@parachomp: You probably would have had Matches Malone at least.

Was DC the last to drop the CCA?

@darthmummy: No, I'm not familiar with Bruce Wayne's aliases.

Also no, DC was the first to drop the CCA.

@parachomp: I'm pretty sure DC and Archie Comics were the last two to drop it in either 2010 or 2011
