So as not to overload this page with trivia questions, during weeks where I do Who’s Who questions I’ll skip OHOTMU trivia, though of course others are welcome to add questions to that thread. This is of course for the DC equivalent series.
Questions this round all relate to the first series.
1. How many issues did the first series last?
2. Entries related to this non-canonical series appear off and on throughout, including the first and last issue.
 

1. 24?
2. Atari Force?

Calling a day's notice on the last two questions:
3. Who drew the Batman I entry?
7. Whose Marital Status was listed as Incompatible?

All versions of Who's Who fair game this time (I inccluded an extra question to avoid downplaying the original series too muich):

1. For Update '87 and Update '88, how were characters, etc. previously covered but given a new profile designated?
2. In what issue of which title can you find a separate section on Supporting characters?
3. For which profile in the looseleaf series were there none of the usual stats? And what was written instead?
4. Which Who's Who series was reprinted in full in a DVD-ROM?
5. Who drew Proty for Who's Who in the Legion?
6. For the original series, who drew Turtle Man?
7. What animal team (beyond just humans/humanoids) had an entry for their headquarters?
8. Who drew the Justice Society for Update '93?
9. What was the first entry in Update '87 #1?
10. List every Watchmen-related entry in Update '87.
11. For the looseleaf Who's Who, who drew Kanjar Ro?
12. In Who's Who in the Legion, which Legion member had both a regular entry and a smaller sub-entry as a villain under a different name?
13. What colour was the background to the cover of Update '88 #1?
14. Which two characters in the first issue of the first series had separate stats but shared the same image?
15. In which Who's Who series can you find a character whose real name is Hit Coffee?
16. How many Luthor entries were in the first Who's Who series?

4. Correct. Both issues were in a Gitcorp DVD-ROM that collected all US Star Trek comics from any publisher up to a little before the DVD-ROM came out.

7. Incorrect.  If memory serves the Legion of Super-Pets had no fixed headquarters and just showed up together as emergencies required.

 6. Paris Cullins?
 8. Mike Parobeck (RIP)
 9. All-Star Squadron (Update)
10. Minutemen and Watchmen
11. Tim Truman
12. Mysa Nal got a regular entry as the White Witch and a sub-entry as The Hag for the Devil's Dozen
16. Four

1. A banner, yes, but it didn't say Updated
2. Correct
3. Correct as to which entry it is. Given that, can anyone figure out what it said?
6, Incorrect
8. Correct
9. Correct, except it didn't say Update. But essentially that's the right answer.
10. Correct, just those two
11. Incorrect
12. Correct (Alexei of Earth-2, Lex of Earth-1, Alexander of Earth-3, Alexander Jr. of Earth-3, in that order).

Remaining answers:
1. For Update '87 and Update '88, how were characters, etc. previously covered but given a new profile designated?
Revised

3. For which profile in the looseleaf series were there none of the usual stats? And what was written instead? [Death correctly answered, but quote still up for grabs)
One day you'll meet her. You can find out for yourself. I would have accepted any answer that was close to that effect.

5. Who drew Proty for Who's Who in the Legion?
Mark Waid, not normally known for drawing characters

6. For the original series, who drew Turtle Man?
Peter Laird, co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

7. What animal team (beyond just humans/humanoids) had an entry for their headquarters?
Zoo Crew, all anthropomorphic animals. Hope the humanoid didn't throw people off; I meant characters like Superman who look human and are animals of sort but aren't true humans.

11. For the looseleaf Who's Who, who drew Kanjar Ro?
Tim Bradstreet. I liked his art on the entry, but he was embarrassed when I asked him to autograph the sheet.

13. What colour was the background to the cover of Update '88 #1?
Blue

14. Which two characters in the first issue of the first series had separate stats but shared the same image?
Aquagirl and Aqualad, who were a couple.

15. In which Who's Who series can you find a character whose real name is Hit Coffee?
!mpact Who's Who

Doctor Occult.

1-4 are correct.
5. Correct, but I forgot to add a caveat that I was thinking among people in the first series and overlooked that one. There is a kind of, sort of, barely partial entry for him in the original series. Can you guess? And this character is in fact the Earth-1 Superman, whereas the Pocket Universe Superboy's history eventually diverges.
7-8 are correct
11. Correct. I think they may have encountered each other in an issue of Justice League, which is what I hedged my bets on the phrasing of the question.
13. Correct.
14. Incorrect. Congo Bill first appeared in More Fun Comics #56 (June 1940), by which point a lot of early recurring DC characters had already appeared, including a few in Who's Who.\
15. Correct

5.  Ah, I think I get it: The original Nightwing of Kandor's Nightwing & Flamebird duo.

Calling a day's notice on the remaining three. Can we get a clean sweep?
9. Who was the editor for the first looseleaf Who’s Who series?
10. Who pencilled the Jonah Hex entry for the original series?
12. Who drew Etta Candy for Update ’88?

9. Is incorrect, though he wrote a lot of profiles. I think he wrote all the profiles for the first issue of the never seen 2011 series before it was cancelled.
10 and 12 are both correct.
