No, I think technocrat answered it before, but edited his post. I looked around the time you posted and there were 10 answers given. (Though I did overlook that two people answered the same question)

In my haste to get points, I forgot the cardinal rule of only answering one question per round. I answered the Deadshot question and went back and took it out.

What song is the saddest thing Hollis Mason could think of, and why is it the saddest thing he could think of? Be as specific as you can in your answer.

God, I hope I remembered this right.

"Die Valkyrie". It was playing as his father's boss (Tony?) stood with tears streaming down his face as he announced to the garage that Fred the mechanic had had carnal knowledge of his wife for some time and she had run off with him. Everyone laughed, because the boss was wearing a pair of fake breasts (he liked physical practical gags) at the time. Then he went into his office and later that night asphyxiated himself on carbon monoxide with a tube run into the interior of a car from the exhaust pipe.

Hey, if it's a new round, shouldn't we take everyone's points back to zero? Dammit, I'm NEVER gonna catch up.

[thetechnocrat]

In 1981's Superman and Spider-Man, why is the Hulk on a rampage, and how does Superman stop him?

Dr. Doom manipulated him into it so he could free Parasite. Superman defeated him by calming him down so he could revert back to Banner.

Jeff O. got 15 - Lauren Holly plays Betty in 1990's Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099054/)

DizzyD got 17 - X-Factor 15.

Sir Tim Drake got 18 - Robin was billed as "THE SENSATIONAL CHARACTER-FIND OF 1940" on the cover of Detective Comics 38.

He isn't Berni Wrightson, Joe Staton, or Gerry Conway. Now that I've thought about it, I guess I might shouldn't have included this guy in this game. His collected work really can't be classified as comics, I don't think. His work does make for some great calendars, though. :P

How does the Hulk survive the gamma bomb explosion that destroys Middletown?

I think he was trapped outside the town by the Leader's forcefield when the bomb went off

[Rich L]

34, Schmakt has it wrong - he was holding the bomb as it exploded but was teleported to Jarella's world at the precise instant of explosion; a statue of Hulk was teleported back in his place (some kind of mass for mass rule), and the ashes of the statue were collected as the Hulk's ashes.

Paradox and TheHistorian:

Well, I thought of a possible solution: I can cut each set down to three to five questions per set and change the rules so that players can answer as many questions as they want - but instead of posting answers on the thread, players PM me their answers. And when I update, I reveal the answers and everyone gets points for correct responses.

We could try it that way, if a majority of people agree. So what does everybody think of that format? :)

If we have to go through the extra work of PMing you the answers, I know I won't play anymore. I sometimes miss my chance at the questions too but that's life. I say it ain't broke so don't fix it.

Cei-U!
I summon my two cents' worth!

[Lone Ranger]

I am not too worried about missing them either.

I reserve the right to bitch and moan, but don't take it too seriously, Boba.

The only other option i can think of is to use the 'Brian Cronin' method - where you'd list 10 questions. People would answers as many as they can - and are on the honour system to not look at other people's replies. I think you need a new thread for every new round for that kind of system, though.

[Dizzy D]

If you want to use that system, I would say that you put your answers in spoil-tags. ( <spoil></spoil> but with [ and ] instead of < and > for those who haven't used them yet) There still is on honour system working, but you can't be influenced by other answers you accidently see when you open the page.

The PM-method. I think it would be a lot of work. Too much really. I also miss a lot of opportunities in this game due to my timezone, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the current system.

[thetechnocrat]

I'm in agreement with everyone else. I don't get upset if I miss the questions I know the answer to. I probably would be too lazy to pm the answers.

OT: A good question for the future would be:
What borough did Steve Rogers' family live in?

[Rich L]

Doesn't bother me - I catch the questions when I can, and I'm in the UK anyway so the timezone screws everything up!

keep it as it is!

[TheHistorian]

Nah - don't worry about it. IT'S ONLY A GAME! :)

For some reason I remember Steve as a Brooklyn guy, but it may only be because he once had an apartment there. I'm sure the answer could be found in the adventures of Captain America, that nice mini-series mostly drawn by Maguire.

41 has been nagging at me for the past couple of hours. At first I was leaning towards the first issue of Howard the Duck, and some interior panel by Frank Brunner. Then I was thinking it was an early Iron-man of Jim Starlin's.

But Bill nailed this one. Nice work.

[Bill Angus]

Thanks, JB. I immediately knew it was Perez, so my first thought was Marvel Two-In-One. Of course... I did manage to miss it my first go-around in the GCD - and ended up looking at a bunch of other Perez Marvel's from the same era (Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men annuals) before giving M-2-1 a second look.

Definately. With the huge comic following on the net, they would do well with an online voting system as well. Even people who didn't read Batman (or maybe even comics for that matter) would voice their opinion.

Add to that the 800 number and I think there would be at least 100,000 more individual votes.
