I only know the answers to # 10 and # 20.
However, you might want to have made this more challenging by having the readers include the title, and issue # that the said event occurred in as well as the killer's identity.

Do we get bonus points for mentioning Wild Dog, while being mind controlled by Maxwell Lord for 17? (Granted, that was an alternative universe Pantha.)

Wow, you know how to use google and wikipedia. We're sooooo impressed.... *frowny face*

The list has already been solved by other folks, but I'm surprised that I was actually able to answer the lot of them off the top of my head (with the exception of the Ultimate Black Widow, but that's only because I haven't gotten around to getting the last Millar/Hitch Ultimates collection). I'm pleased with myself, but wish I knew that much about, you know, non-comic book stuff. Either way, I suppose.
Have a good day.

Wow, you spend your time going to comic book blogs to make troll-ish comments in a thread of comic book trivia. You're sooooooooo cool.

Funny thing is that when I saw the subject (and before reading the list), I guessed that alternating Scourge and Superboy Prime would get me at least a couple correct answers. I was wrong because I started with Scourge.

There the answers has you might expect tend to favour the more recent events, but I am suprised so few people got the swordsman. Maybe the engleheart avengers are not as classic a team as i thought

Are all of them still currently dead or did they get better?

Off the top of my head, they're all currently dead.

I think it was when I heard that Katma Tui was dead that I decided to consider anything that happened after I stopped reading GL as non-canon.
Later, I heard that Hal Jordan had killed Kilowog and my choice was vindicated.

The Swordsman died in Giant-Size Avengers (#2), not Avengers.
I only knew four of these.
