More Superman Answers
The answer to yesterday's trivia was:
Mr. MXYZPTLK
ZHe came from the 5th dimension, and would only go back if he could be
tricked into saying his name backwards (and then, only for 90 days).
Once he vanished, all traces (and memory) of his mischief would
disappear immediately.
The bonus question was BAT-MITE. Some of you got this, but were incorrect
about one thing. B-M not only appeared on the Saturday cartoons, but also
appeared in a number of Batman and World Finest comics in the early and mid-
1960's!
Also, to answer the counter-trivia question from Carl Eichenlaub at Cornell,
Superman's mother's name is Lara, his aunt (Supergirl's mother) is Allura.
Pete Pete
Pete Ross discovered Superboy's secret identity while on the camping
trip. He was also sent to the phantom zone when Superboy discovered he
had an incurable terminal illness, and promised to free him when a cure was
found. (Conveniently, this kept him from worrying about Ross ever
revealing his secret identity.) Finally, The third "LL" woman in
Superman's life I think was either Light Lass of the Legion of Super-Heroes,
or it was Supergirl in here alias of LINDA LEE Danvers. Am I right?
Stay tuned for more memory ticklers, from the annals of DC comics. And
keep those responses pouring in friends!
