Spider-Man Comics Trivia!

[Lizard]

Alright I really like Spider-Man and his comics so I decided to start up a trivia about him. So i'll start. How many tons is Spider-Man capable of lifting :D

[Cody H]

roughly about 10 tonnes over his head if I remember correctly.

[Lizard]

Yep :) . Your go

[Cody H]

Alright then. In which issue did Mary Jane first appear?

[Lizard]

Was it Amazing Spider-Man #47?

[Abomination]

Amazing Spider-man 25

[Cody H]

That's one for Abomination. Though we don't actually get to see her face until #42 with the now infamous, "Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot" line.

[Abomination]

What was the real name of the second Vulture who appeared somewhere in the Amazing spider-man #50's?

[Luigi]

I think his name was Blackie Drago and his first appearance was in AMS 48

[Lizard]

Yep That's right

[Artemis1]

Who did Daredevil and Spiderman first fight as a team?

[Luigi]

What issue does the Silver Surfer bond with the Carnage symbiote?

Sweet comic btw!

The answer to the previous question is the Ringmaster I believe.

[Charagon]

Edit: Nevermind

[Reptisaurus!]

Who did Daredevil and Spiderman first fight as a team?

The Ringmaster and the Circus of Crime.

[Artemis1]

Luigi and MarkAndrew are correct.

[twilight]

How did Hydroman get his powers?

[Ned Leeds]

Morrie was knocked into the water during testing of a new underwater generator in ASM #211

[Artemis1]

Yes. Correct.

[Artemis1]

What Toho kaiju has Spiderman met/battled?

[Luigi]

What Toho kaiju has Spiderman met/battled?

Ok, I don't know. What's the answer?

[Kirayoshi]

What Toho kaiju has Spiderman met/battled?
History shows, again and again, how nature points out the folly of men...
GODZILLA!
Kaiju is Japanese for 'big honkin' monster', Tojo was the studio that created Gojiro, aka Godzilla. Hey, SHIELD was a recurring fixture in Marvel's Godzilla comic book, why not?

[Kirayoshi]

Okay, I have one;

How did Peter first pop the question to MJ?

Ok, when did they ever battle?

[Artemis1]

Godzilla is incorrect. The answer is that he has not battled a kaiju.

[Reptisaurus!]

Godzilla is incorrect. The answer is that he has not battled a kaiju.

But he made a Blue Oyster Cult reference. So he should get some points for that!

(We did a rousing acapella rendition of that song at our family party yesterday. Yes, really. :))

[Kirayoshi]

Ok, when did they ever battle?According to Spiderfan.org (http://http://www.spiderfan.org/comics/title/godzilla.html), Spider-Man made a cameo appearance in Godzilla, King of the Monsters #24. So they were at least in the same book.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

[Lizard]

Next question! :eek:

[Reptisaurus!]

Which major Spidey supporting cast member (Later RIP) first appeared in Marvel Team-up?

And a toughie... Explain the relevance of "Linda Carter, Student Nurse" to Spider-man publishing history.

[borateen]

For the first part of the question, I'm going with Jean DeWolffe. I know Misty Knight was introduced in one of the early issues (#1?), but I don't know if she's dead or not, and I never considered her a Spidey supporting character.

As for the second part, I've got no idea.

Yup. I don't think Misty Knight is dead, or you're right twice. :)

[Artemis1]

Dock Ock is considered as one of Spidey's greatest foes. What did he rank on the top ten Wizard list of Spiderman baddies?

[Gorakmev]

roughly about 10 tonnes over his head if I remember correctly.

Bench press. :rolleyes:

[Kirayoshi]

Okay, I have one;

How did Peter first pop the question to MJ?
Has anyone answered this one yet?

And wasn't "Linda Carter Student Nurse" an early acting job for Mary Jane?

[Reptisaurus!]

And wasn't "Linda Carter Student Nurse" an early acting job for Mary Jane?

I... I... I dunno.

But if it was, it refers to something else.

[Artemis1]

No anwser?

[Reptisaurus!]

No anwser?

Depends on when it was released. If it was before the Movie, probably # 3. After the movie, # 2.

[Kirayoshi]

I... I... I dunno.

Okay, my answer regarding MJ playing Linda Carter was a wild guess. She did star in a soap opera once though...

But I looked a few things up(mainly to find out who or what Linda Carter is) and I think I know the answer. John Romita Sr. got his start in the industry as a penciler for romance titles(from what I read a while ago in Mad Goblin's www.spideykicksbutt.com (http://www.spideykicksbutt.com%29)). He brought his romance artist sensibilities with him when assigned to write Spider-Man; Peter became more handsome, Gwen(whom Steve Ditko drew as more angular) became prettier, and of course when he finally showed us the face of The Jackpot(aka MJ). So the answer is, JR Sr did both books.

[Luigi]

Ok, just to make this thread easier, maybe we should only post one or two questions at a time. How many questions up there still need answering?

Good researchin'.

But no. :)

Romita Sr, though he *started* at Marvel, did mostly do romance titles, and eventually *returned* to Marvel to do Daredevil and Spider-man, wasn't (as far as I know) actually doing any work for Marvel in the early sixties. Marvel was going through some tough times, financially, and JrSr. said Stan simply didn't have any work for him.

According to Don Markstein's http://www.toonopedia.com/nightnrs.htm the book was drawn by Archie artist Al Hartley. And written by Stan Lee, but no points for that 'cause Stan Lee wrote everything.

Still, worth a hint. Let me rephrase the question:

And a toughie... Explain the relevance of *the cancellation of* "Linda Carter, Student Nurse" to Spider-man publishing history.

[Artemis1]

Depends on when it was released. If it was before the Movie, probably # 3. After the movie, # 2.

This is Wizard's list:

10. Scorpian
9. Mysterio
8. Electro
7. Carnage
5. Sandman
4. Hobgoblin
3. Dr. Octopus
2. Venom
1. Green Goblin

Your first answer is right.

[wallcrawler]

Pete put a ring in a box of Cracker Jack the first time he proposed to MJ. ASM 185 I think.

Linda Carter got cancelled in Jan. 1963 to make way for the ASM title.

[Luigi]

And a toughie... Explain the relevance of *the cancellation of* "Linda Carter, Student Nurse" to Spider-man publishing history.

The comic that was cancelled to make room for Spidey was Linda Carter, Student Nurse.

If that's the right answer, the irony is that the answer was on the forum.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Very well done. Back in the early sixties, Marvel (or, technically, the comic arm orGoodman Publications Group) had fallen on some tough financial times, and were forced to do all their distribution through National Periodical Publications... Later DC. And, for contractual reasons, they could only publish eight titles at a time. So, after the huge success of Amazing Fantasy # 15, poor Linda got the axe.

Strangely enough, I'd never read that thread, despite the fact that I try to read everything that goes on in Classic Comics.

next question

[Artemis1]

What did Scarlet Spider call Spiderman?

[Cody H]

Webs?

tencharacters

[Michael P]

What did Scarlet Spider call Spiderman?
You thinking of a specific time, or just in general? Because I'm pretty sure he referred to him most often as "Peter."

[fnhspidey]

Hot pants?

[Cody H]

Hot pants?Clearly the most hilarious answer.

[fnhspidey]

Hey if reading Spider-man comics has taught me anything is that if you are unsure of the answer make a joke.

[Artemis1]

I'll change it. What did Scarlet Spider call Pete before dying?

[Luigi]

This is an all out guess with no research at all. But brother?

[Artemis1]

Luigi is correct.

[Reptisaurus!]

Name at least Three superheroes (IE Costumed Good Guys) who first appeared in Spectacular Spider-man Vol. 1

[Abomination]

Name at least Three superheroes (IE Costumed Good Guys) who first appeared in Spectacular Spider-man Vol. 1

The first two I know and the last one is a guess.

1. Cloak
2. Dagger
3. White Tiger?

[Cody H]

The first two I know and the last one is a guess.

1. Cloak
2. Dagger
3. White Tiger?I think we have a winner

[Reptisaurus!]

The first two I know and the last one is a guess.

1. Cloak
2. Dagger


Yes. Yes.

3. White Tiger?

I THOUGHT this was when I wrote the question, but now I think that the Tiger might have showed up in one of the Marvel Magazines earlier.

Still, you know as much as I do, so full credit.

[Luigi]

Awesome! I love this thread!

Name every hero who had a hand in stopping Carnage in Maximum Carnage. i.e. Name everyone spiderman teamed up with in Maximum Carnage.

[Artemis1]

Cloak, Dagger, Venom, Spiderman, Morbius, Black Cat, Firestar, Deathlock, Iron Fist, Night Watch, and Captain America.

[Reptisaurus!]

For the Record: Razorback woulda counted too, and it wouldn't surprise me if there was another hero or two who I'm missing.

[Luigi]

Cloak, Dagger, Venom, Spiderman, Morbius, Black Cat, Firestar, Deathlock, Iron Fist, Night Watch, and Captain America.

Nice! I'm going to assume that is right since I don't have the comic right now in my hands but I read it last weekend and it sounds right.

[Artemis1]

Who was Kraven's wife?

[Cody H]

Who was Kraven's wife?Calypso, though I didn't think they were married... Trick question? :)
