Who was the first *costumed* super-villain that Superman fought?

BG: That would be the Archer as seen in Superman in Action Comics Archives Vol. 1.

J-P Chicago (2:15 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

Do the questions have to be DC mainstream characters or may it be some of the appropriated characters from Fawcett, Quality, Charlton, et al?

BG: Sure. I'm game.

Mason (3:08 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

In the DC/Vertigo Sandman series, which supporting character began life in the Dreaming as Dream's first raven?

BG: Matthew Cable, Abigail's husband.

In what city and state did Miss Teschmacher's mother live (prompting her to get Superman's promise to save her?)

PAD

BG: Newark, if I recall.

BG: Just looked it up. Its Hackensack so Peter wins out first prize.

Chuck Williams (3:28 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

How about non-DCU subjects--things like the Funny Stuff characters, non-continuity mini-/maxi-series of the 80s, etc.?

BG: Absolutely, gimme a try.

Marc Alan Fishman (4:28 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

Which Green Lantern was able to create fully sentient constructs, and what were their names?

BG: We're talking about Kyle Rayner when he created Oblivion, which was the focal point of the Circle of Fire event.

Howard Margolin (4:39 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

What was the name of the villain responsible for Supergirl's on-again off-again super-powers?

BG: We're talking Lesla-Lar, the Kandorian lookalike. Which allows me to plug the forthcoming Essential Superman Encyclopedia, written with Martin Pasko, and coming from DelRey in October.

Coin (7:30 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

OK, this should be easy, but what the hey.....what would this chemical be better known as in the DC Universe?

sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide

:)

BG: Why are people posing questions about kryptonite to the co-author of The Essential Superman Encyclopedia? Silly people.

Marc Alan Fishman (7:35 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

Just in case I can ask more than one question: How did Scandal receive her trademark fist blade?

Elie (8:24 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

The Order of St. Dumas was responsible for a number of scientific innovations in the last thousand years. However, there was one field of "science" that they went to a great trouble to disprove and keep the secret to themselves. Which field of science was this?

BG: Okay, this one stumped me and I should know this but don't, so you're our third and final winner.

Greg Hatcher (9:08 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

Whose coming and eventual end was foretold by Sonnabend the prophet, and who proved him wrong?

BG: Again with the Superman questions although this one was borderline too obscure.

Peter S. Svensson (10:33 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

Which three Earths (officially named in a DC comics, possessing their own native superheroes) did the Justice League of America never visit prior to the Crisis on Infinite Earths?

BG: Pre-Crisis the number of parallel worlds in existence was infinite so even though they only named three the JLA of Earth-1 never visited, there were actually countless unvisited worlds.

Eric Recla (10:59 PM on Fri Jul 30, 2010)

Who did Per Degaton work as an assistant for?

Miles Vorkosigan (11:33 AM on Sat Jul 31, 2010)
