This post by Rychehitman got me thinking that, in the style of the various other word and member games on here, a comic book triva thread might be fun (and informative).

The rules are simple.

One comic book / comic book statue triva question, that if you can answer it correctly, you get to post the next question.

I'll start with an easy one.

(1) What is the name of the cold war era "sleeper" robot designed by Howard Stark to defend the US?

Is it the Arsenal?

Correct...I'm surprised. You have been studying, haven't you?

Ask your question.

Ok, I got one that may or may not be easy. What is the capital city of Latveria, spelling counts?

xcollector · 12-09-2005, 09:34 AM

Doomstadt; but it was formally known as Hassenstadt.

Since Wolvie1 is off-line (I wonder what's wrong

) I'll second your answers XCollector.

To whom did Reed Richards sell the Baxter Building when he went bankrupt?

ALDISISMO! · 12-09-2005, 11:44 AM

Noah Baxter?

He went bankrupt recently, but I'm assuming the question harkens to some old event that is before my time...
but if the recent bankruptcy is the case (and I'm not sure I'm even remembering correctly that he did in fact sell it) I'd say he sold it technically to Ben Grimm?

I keep thinking about when this could have occured.

For the longest time the building didn't belong to the FF but to their landlord, Walter Collins. After problems with the other tenants, complaints about the Thing repeatedly being punched through the floors, and the destruction caused by attacking super villains, Reed purchased the entire building and he retained ownership until Dr. Doom Jr. blew the thing up in orbit.

We need XCollector back online to solve this for us.
