Name That Character Issue #3. Results.

Congratulations to the Groovy Agent on winning the latest round of the Internet's thrillingest quiz. He correctly surmised that our mystery character was none other than the surprisingly memorable Bouncing Boy from the Legion of Super-Heroes.

The Agent's site - Diversions of the Groovy Kind - was one of the ones that first got me fired up enough to launch a blog of my own, and I had several enjoyable minutes yesterday reading his reminiscences of his days as one of Marvel's top cover artists in the 1970s. Admittedly, right that the end of the article I finally cottoned on that the piece was actually written by Rich Buckler but, still, I enjoyed it anyway.

So, congratulations, Groove. From now on, to me at least, you will always be that man who used to draw the Mighty World of Marvel covers in the 70s.

Following his pulse-pounding triumph, the Groovester goes joint top of our league table, alongside cerebus660 and TomO.

For those who'd like to see it, the original post with the question in it can be found right here.

Name That Character Issue #3. This time it's personable

Real life, and my deep-rooted psychological need to spend all day tinkering with my template, mean I've not had time today to think of anything substantial to write about. Looks like that article about Iron Man's nose'll have to wait for another day.

But that means it's time for another round of the quiz that never fails to bring back nightmarish memories of TV's Dusty Bin.

So, for anyone still left with the will to live, here goes.

Rules: As always with Name That Character, every day I'll give a new clue to the identity of a Bronze or Silver Age comic book character until someone guesses who it is. The first person to guess it wins, earning him/her/itself a Steve Does Comics No-Prize and a coveted place on our almost legendary Name That Character League Table, currently headed by TomO and cerebus660.

Clue 1. Some people might think he has an over-inflated opinion of himself.

Name That Character. Issue #2. Results.

Well done to cerebus660 on winning the latest round of Name That Character by correctly guessing our mystery man was professional sidekick Rick Jones. Cerebus joins TomO in joint first place on the Name That Character Leaderboard. Topping the Name That Character Leaderboard; can there be any greater thrill for any man?

In the interests of transparency, the original question and clues can be found here.

Still no winner of our Crusher Creel quiz though...

Name That Character. Issue #2. Clue #3.

Day Three, and time for our third clue, I reckon.

Rules: As always with Name That Character, every day I'll give a new clue as to the identity of a Bronze or Silver Age comic book character until someone guesses who it is. The first person who gets it wins, earning him/her/itself a Steve Does Comics No-Prize and a coveted place on our almost legendary Name That Character League Table.

Clue 1. His first appearance was a blast.
Clue 2. When a certain scientist first met him, it was a testing experience.
Clue 3. He's one individual who would love to swap places with Marvel's Captain Marvel.

Name That Character. Results.

Ka-Pow! Steve Does Comics' latest feature's got off to a flying start, with TomO guessing our mystery character was Tony Stark's secretary Pepper Potts. As always, no one goes away from Steve Does Comics empty-handed and Tom wins, er, nothing. But congratulations to Tom anyway and thanks for taking the time to enter. For those who're curious, you can find the original question here.

Name That Character. Because you the reader demanded it!

In the endless quest to bring ever more excitement to Steve Does Comics, it's time for our latest feature; Name That Character, in which I give a clue relating to a comic book character of the Bronze or Silver Age, and the first person to guess who I have in mind wins a great big handful of Steve Does Comics Nothingness. Remember, Steve Does Comics Nothingness isn't like other Nothingnesses you may have seen on the market.   There's less of it.

With every day the answer remains un-guessed, I'll give another clue as to that character's ID until someone wins. As I get easily bored, I suspect that, by day three, the clues'll be getting so easy they'll be an insult to even my intelligence.

So, Clue Number 1.
I'll bet she's just glad her parents didn't christen her, "Salt Shakers."
