Trivia Quiz #22
Sorry these are late, I usually get to them very early Monday morning, not late Monday night. Today's theme: stuff I've wanted to ask in previous quizzes but I already had enough questions. Ten of them today instead of the usual seven.
1. Which Legionnaire(s) appeared in every issue of "Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes"?
2. What is the main effect of Grandin Gender-Reversal Disease?
3. What is the main communications device of the Legion?
4. Rene Jacques Brande is better known by which initials?
5. What was Tenzil Kem's real name (Pre-Crisis)?
6. How long was the Five Year Gap? (Round up or down to a whole number.)
7. Pre-Crisis, what was Shrinking Violet's main power?
8. Which real-life person was Weisinger Plaza named after?
9. What symbol do members of the Dark Circle wear on their uniforms?
10. What letter is on the Legion flag?

These are the questions you fear to answer and because when you see the answer you'll groan for ages.
1. Superboy?
2. Matter-Eater Lad got to spend a lot of time in the shower. Alone...

Finally, one of these where I know all the answers!
I must admit, I got all the way to #4 before I suspected some April Tom-Foolery.
I do actually wonder if any Legionnaires made all S/LSH issues besides Superboy. Brainy maybe? I once started a project to count the number of panels each Legionnaire appeared in, and the number of words spoken, but never got beyond the Adventure series with it.
BTW, the Fortress Boy answer induced a genuine ROTFLMFAO moment.
1# Which Legionnaire(s) appeared in every issue of "Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes"?
Answer: Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes
5. Well, it's spelled: "Tenzil Kem", but it's pronounced: "Throat-Warbler Mangrove"
I thought #3 would be more obvious. Look up at the header bar of this blog.
And for #8, Mort Weisinger was the first editor of the Legion, from 1958 to about 1969 or so. He edited the entire Adventure run.
Thanks for playing along!

SRORTFSMOL doesn't quite get there.
so i guess you got me.
Lirpa Loof, indeed.
SRORTFSMOL, isn't that one of those newfangled intarweb acronyms?
