Is #3 that they all have goggles/bubbles over their eyes?

Nope, it can't be something you could know without knowledge outside of just the cover.

Cover game #1, a character on each cover has a partial amnesia/brainwashing and doesn't know the truth about himself?

Game #1: Fill in stories that don't actually add anything?

Only read Gen X #24 from the list, and all I remember was being pissed off with it.

For game #1: When they first showed up, Cybermancer, Monet and Bloodwynd were not who they appeared to be, but all of them were later replaced by exactly who they appeared to be.

Exactly, buttler!!!

Is there anywhere were past answers are archived. I would love to see the past games alongside their answeres.

They appeared in each installment of the Snark Free Corner, Jesse.

Here's the category archive for Snark Free Corner, so you can read all the old ones.

Some of them haven't even been answered yet!!

Hee hee. That sentence was so convoluted I can scarcely believe I typed it.

Newly emboldened, I'm gonna have to say also that Adam Strange, Ted Kord and Donyell Taylor are all from Chicago.

Is the answer for #2 that all three of the characters had their families (or members of their families) killed, or that they've all assumed aliases at some point or another? Or am I missing the obvious altogether?

Have a good day.

Right you are!

or that they’ve all assumed aliases at some point or another?

Close enough!

While many folks have changed their superhero identities, these three all changed their secret identities (Wanda Frank to Wanda Maximoff, Johnny Walker to Jack Daniels and lots of changes for Magneto).

i realize it was the 1990s, so it probably goes without saying... but the female (AND male) anatomy on that Force Works cover... ugh!

Who would have thought that the creators of Force Works would go on to become one of the most prominent tandems in comics!

Nice work, buttler!

When was Wanda Wanda Frank, and why did USAgent change the type of booze he was named for?

I guess if you're that bad at producing comics then you best bet is to become a two-seated bicycle!

Man, I was on the wrong track entirely with #2. I was hung up on the idea that Wanda, Magneto and US Agent were all originally "bad guys" who later joined major superhero teams -- which is true but pretty general and not all that rare -- or that they all were part of teams that included the Scarlet Witch, which is a funny thing for Wanda to claim of herself.

But that's why I've missed the cover theme games so much: they force you to try to look at these things from every angle you can think of.

When was Wanda Wanda Frank, and why did USAgent change the type of booze he was named for?

During the 70s, when she believed that Miss America and the Whizzer were her parents.

And USAgent changed his secret ID when he went to work for the Commission (the same time he officially became USAgent).

there was a 10/6 cover game? Who knew? Are there more that were done outside of SFC?
