zuckyd1: 1 and 8 are incorrect. I think for Jameson you have the number wrong, though his take on Star Brand would probably be a fun read; he'd probably had the fictional (from his standpoint) Pittsburgh destroyed to show what menaces vigilantes are. The rest are correct. Sidney's answers are correct (so Jazzy John Romita)

Most of those are correct (Katy Keene). However 10 is incorrect, though in the ballpark.
Offline
7. Kid Psycho
8. Kull the Beast Man
10. the Kingdom
13. Kryptonite
Offline
Those are correct, 8 aka King Kull. The Kingdom was the sequel mini-series to Kingdom Come. With some things being opposite on Earth-3, Kryptonians from that universe benefit from kryptonite.
One question left:
16. Which superhero is Keith Giffen on record as really hating?
Offline
16. Karate Kid. He's had a hand in, or been the writer of, three deaths of different versions of KK (the original Val Armorr in LSH [Baxter series] #4, the SW6 clone version of Val during Giffen's Five Years Later run on the Legion, and the Retroboot version of Val during the Countdown to Final Crisis weekly series). I've read multiple times that Giffen thought that Val's "power" (being trained in all known forms of hand-to-hand combat in the 30th Century) was just stupid beyond words and/or didn't count as a real "power." Been wondering lately if he regarded Timber Wolf's actual powers (super-strength, -speed, and most notably superhuman acrobatic ability) as just as dumb, and if that might have contributed to the "buttmonkey" treatment of TW during Giffen's time working with Paul Levitz on the Legion. (Esp. since after Giffen left, T-Wolf started being written better.)

16 is correct. My guess is that if he got his hands on the Inhumans, Karnak would not be long for the world.
Normally I'd start a new comics round today with all the questions answered, but a new TV round is starting today so will save that for tomorrow.
