First, the answers.
Question 1: Name a Superhero who has *not* appeared in a major motion picture.
The winner here was AquaMan! Green Lantern was a close 2nd. (Are you listening, Hollywood?)
# Answer --- ------------------- 8 Aquaman 7 Green Lantern 4 Wonder Woman 2 Black Lightning 2 Blue Beetle 2 Green Arrow 1 each: Bluntman, Hothead Paisan, Mighty Mouse, Power Girl, Preacher, Raven, The Badger, The Flash, The Tick
Question 2: Name a Batman villian who isn't the Joker.
No big surprises here; Catwoman and The Penguin tie for first, at 10 votes each.
# Answer --- ------------------- 10 Catwoman 10 The Penguin 7 The Riddler 2 Two-Face 1 each: Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Sandman, Scarecrow
Question 3: Name a comic book company that is neither Marvel nor DC.
This was the make-or-break question for this Group Think. Either you got it, or you missed out on being a top scorer.
# Answer --- ------------------- 22 Dark Horse 5 Image 1 each: AC, Angry Viking, Archie Comics, Charlton, Fantagraphics, Midnight Comics
Question 4: Name a song about a Super Hero that is not "Iron Man".
This was the hard-to-grade question; not everyone gave me a full enough description for me to categorize everything. Perhaps I should have asked for the Super Hero's name, rather than naming the song. Superman was the winner by that criterion, but since his votes are split among different songs, Spider-Man takes it.
# Answer --- ------------------- 8 Spider-Man Theme Song 6 (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman, by The Kinks 5 (I am) Superman, R.E.M. 3 Superman (It's not easy), 5 for Fighting 2 Superman [no other explanation, so I was unable to place it as one of the above three songs.] 2 Flash, by Queen 2 Kryptonite, by 3 Doors Down 1 each: Aquaman's Lament, Believe it or Not (Greatest American Hero), Don't Mess Around With Jim, Pocket Full of Kryptonite, Hero by Chad Kroeger, "Na na na na na na Batman"
Question 5: Name a movie based on an Alan Moore story that isn't Watchmen.
Interestingly, the #3 answer (300) isn't even an Alan Moore story (that was by Frank Miller), but a few people responded likely due to advertising ("director of 300"). One person knew that was wrong, but couldn't think of anything else.
# Answer --- ------------------- 13 V for Vendetta 8 The League of Extrordinary Gentlemen 4 300 3 From Hell 3 Who is Alan Moore/never heard of him/drawing a blank 1 Constantine
Question 6: Name a Superhero who does not have a secret identity.
Surprising to me, no one used a member of the Fantastic Four! This also turned out to be the least important question, with a max score of 4 points.
# Answer --- ------------------- 4 Dr. Manhattan 4 Dr. Strange 3 Aquaman 2 Hellboy 2 Cannot think of one 2 Iron Man 2 The Tick 1 each: Buckaroo Banzai, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Danger Mouse, Fings, Green Lantern, Hancock, Hothead Paisan, Mermaid Man, Prince Namor (the Sub-Mariner), She-Hulk, The Elongated Man, Thor, Wolverine
