Comic Book Quiz

Hi all,

I've found that most of the quizzes out there are a bit shallow on questions and knowledge. If you want some fun, please have a go at my quiz :)

[Robert]

Interesting. Not sure about #5, 6.

(view spoiler)[The first one, he doesn't exactly "eat" it, he can absorb all sorts of positive and anti energy. But it's not like he chows down on it. You have source for that second one that I can't find? Because the Death of Superman storyline would seem definitive on this, or it's too subtle of a trick question. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Eating, absorbing, both part of feeding. Nonetheless I have amended the question for you.

Question 5 is kind of a trick question. If you've read the Death of Superman, you'll know he did not die.However, in JLA Planetary Superman is truly killed.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Whey! :D

[Chris]

I did better than I expected with a 48% but there were a lot of guesses on this. Tough quiz for sure!

[Lono]

I need to hit the books a little harder too.

[Dominick]

27, but three (at least) of my answers did not record correctly, for some reason. Still, not a superlative score. So much for my nerd cred.

[Tiamatty]

34 correct. 75%. So I'm apparently currently ranked 9th, out of the 54 people who've taken it.

32. Wow, that was tough! I had to rack my brains to remember some answers. But it was fun too :).

Nobody has scored more than 36 :)

If you read JLA in the 70s, you'd know Superman was murdered then, too.

Of course, it being the 70s, he was resurrected by the end of the issue. Still, dead is dead.

I believe that was also when we learned Superman's one true weakness.

Yes, but there is a choice of names to choose from and the question was not how many times he had been killed, but by who in that list. Also in this instance he was not resurrected.

I would have gotten 32 except I fat-fingered the 100 Bullets question somehow. Might've gotten a couple more if I'd actually thought about them for a minute instead of going with my first impulse.

The monkey question I got right purely based on the cover art.

Well done, good score! :)

If he's still around, then he was resurrected. :p

I learned that "who" means it's an open-ended question while "which" means you are meant to choose from a list. That trips me up, because those old debate rules are ingrained.

A good trick question would be, "Which of the following Marvel comic book characters have remained dead?

1. Clint Barton
2. Bucky Barnes
3. Ben Parker
4. Gwen Stacy
5. None of the above"

Hmmmmmmmm - No.4 :P

[Sarah]

You have to make us a quiz Trike.

I think the closest to actually remaining dead would be Uncle Ben...

But we all know that in comics, no one actually stays dead. In some alternate universe, in some comic special, or by some form of magic, or it turned out they were a Skrull all along, or a clone, or a needed plot device when you want to boost sales, or a.... You know what I mean.

So none of the above is my answer. ;)

[Trike]

The answer is, in fact, 5.

Although Uncle Ben does get points for being dead the longest.

any requests are welcome.

29 of 35 - 82%.

Though, for the record, one of the answers is wrong. There are actually 7 Infinity Gems. The 7th is just from a really stupid story and never gets brought up. But there is a 7th.
