Stump the geek! (or "Specialist Subject")

Anyone ever watch Mastermind? basically what we're doing here is taken from that TV programme

someone picks their "specialist subject" (in this game it'll be a comic character) and other people have to fire questions at them about that character until they get one wrong... whoever asked the question that they failed to answer is next to go and they pick another character to be quized on (or the same one if they want)

basically you get to find out if you know as much as you think you do

let's limit it to Marvel and DC characters to keep it mainstream and give everyone a chance to join in

questions are limited to what actually occurs in the comics.... no questions about writers or artists

i'll go first (though i don't think i'll last long)

ok, I pick Deadpool

Hmm... Cool thread.

So, how did Deadpool's father die?

um.... as far as i know he's still alive 😮.... didn't Wade meet him in a bar when he had his Thom Cruz curse going?

Yeah. Trick question. He was alive, but then in #19 of Cable/Deadpool Wade tells the story of how he died in a bar.

Confusing isn't it?

indeed.... though i forgot about the dead dad story until you just mentioned it

who came first, slade or wade?

that's not a Deadpool specific question.... but i think Deathstroke has been around longer

Who does Wade think should be number 1 on People Magazine's most Beautiful list?

Bea Arthur. And I think Slade came first, but was mostly just a great assassin/badass until his ongoing series, where Marv Wolfman gave him some more powers and expanded his origin. So I think Deadpool had his secret agency healing factor stuff before Slade, even though Slade debuted before Wade. May be wrong.

yup, Bea Arthur

hmmmm
out of all the fights between him and wolverine, who has won more

Gak! Good idea. If I knew anything about DP I'd ask something.

What cartoon did Deadpool make a very brief appearance in?

It was the 90s X-Men series, I think, when Wolverine was freaking out and had hallucinations about a bunch of random foes and people.

You're missing the point here. Scoobless has to answer these questions, then when he gets one wrong it's the turn for whoever asks the question that he made a mistake with 😉

Hm..........easy one: Who's costume (member of X-men) did Deadpool want to wear? (and actually wore?)

Miracleman is my choice, try and stup me - I dare you!!!

It's what Supreme Power would want to be when it grows up!! 🙂

In the second Contest of Champions, what did Deadpool pretend to hold, in order to keep DareDevil from attacking during their fight?

whirly, if shilo norman was given new genesis tech and trained in the ways of the original miracle man, why does he have absolutely no idea who the new gods are, or what new genesis is, in the "seven soldiers: miracle man" LS?
