Have fun!

Not EVERYone is a Winner

The following were features in DC's try-out title, Showcase. They are the features who DIDN'T graduate to their own comic - at least not from their feature in Showcase. Years later, some of these features became leads in their own comic, but not due to their appearance in Showcase (or, in some cases, not even for DC Comics!). So remember, some of these characters DID get their own series eventually.

Enjoy!

1. The hero with the golden helmet!
2. Mike Sekowsky handled this tale of hero Mike Maxwell.
3. A man strives to meet up to his father's reputation as a "smoke-eater."
4. A man races against the gangster who killed his father to find his sister, who has the secret to bringing the gangster down.
5. One of the main characters from Our Army At War attempted a spin-off of his own.
6. The tales of Rex Tyler.
7. Stories about animals in nature.
8. Tales of a mod band.
9. King Faraday took center stage in this tale.
10. Story about the Navy Underwater Demolition Team.
11. This deadbeat detective turned up in a lot of books after his Showcase run was over, as a sort of "traveling hero."
12. A certain British secret agent took his turn in Showcase with the adaptation of this novel.
13. J. Scott Pike, noted romantic comic creator, handled the creation of this female aquatic hero.
14. Licensed stories about an army man.
15. Three detectives hunt down criminals.
16. Rockstar Jim Rook tries to find his girlfriend in the crazy land of Myrra.
17. Tales of adventures inside the Earth.
18. Arnold Drake-penned space story starring a young "Planeteer."
19. A man named Starker is a bounty hunter in the future.
20. This story was just an attempt to repackage old Western stories.

Good luck, and have fun!

Have fun!

Giving the O Face

DC likes to add the letter o to words where it does not belong to make superhero and supervillain names. I'm not talking characters whose names naturally end in O, like Halo. I mean creating brand new words that end with O, like Destructo. Or even foreign words that end in O! Give me the name that matches each description.

1. Member of the Super-Malon who controls the earth.
2. Superman's opposite
3. Classic Justice League villain who accidentally created the Zoo Crew.
4. Former villain member of the New Guardians.
5. Android with the Justice League's powers
6. Disgraced Green Lantern of Korugar.
7. Shape-changing alien nemesis of Plastic Man
8. French member of the Young Allies who could turn intangible.
9. Sev Tcheru's codename
10. Super-Ape.
11. The first Cro-Magnon boy
12. Worked for the Ghost against Captain Atom.
13. The Green Lantern planet.
14. Shared a body with Bruce Gordon
15. A former carny who was one of the Human Bomb's Bombardiers.
16. Darkseid's main assassin.
17. Villain who killed Gypsy's parents.
18. Snake-tattooed archer
19. The Legion villain with a destructive touch.
20. The killer of one of Triplicate Girl's bodies.

Good luck, and have fun!
