Huey, Dewey and Louie, Donald's nephews. But a counter question - can you name the fourth nephew, who appeared intermittently until a story finally confirmed him in canon (even if later ones try to ignore that)?
 

Bump. I'll give this one another 24 hours or so.

The fourth nephew is Phooey. He originated because artists would occasionally mistakenly draw in a fourth duck among the nephews in instances where that fourth young duck could not be explained away as being (for example) just a pal of the known trio. Since he was a mistake, people began jokingly referring to him as Phooey - as in "So, Mr. Artist, can you name me the three nephews in the picture you've just drawn"; "Sure. That's Huey, that's Dewey, that's Louie, and that's....oh. Phooey." His first (accidental) appearance was allegedly the 1959 story "Mastering the Matterhorn"; as he accumulated more appearances, artists began adding him deliberately as an in-joke, until the 1999 Danish Disney story "Much Ado About Phooey" provided an explanation for him, confirming that he randomly pops in and out of existence. 

In 2019 the American Disney cartoons finally acknowledged his existence when the Duck Tales episode "Whatever happened to Donald Duck?" name checked him, though he didn't actually appear until the episode "A Nightmare on Killmotor Hill."

Here are the answers for the previous round of questions. Next round will be an easier challenge hopefully.

1. Where did the Zoo Crew first appear, albeit most of them in cameo?
The preview in New Teen Titans #16; most of the team appeared on the last page.

2. How specifically did Captain Carrot’s powers work differently than those of his teammates? [His original teammates I mean]
The meteorite powered his carrot patch, not him, so he had to consume carrots to gain powers temporarily; for his teammates the powers were permanent.

3. What is the full real name of Captain Carrot?
Roger Rodney Rabbit. Originally called Roger Rabbit, then later more often referred to as Rodney Rabbit apparently to avoid confusion with the other Roger Rabbit. To give a sense of timeline, the other Roger Rabbit first appeared in the novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit in 1981; Captain Carrot appeared in cover date February 1982, so he almost for sure also debuted in 1981; probably the prose version came out first but there's a chance that Captain Carrot barely came out sooner), then the more familiar to the public movie version (based on the novel version but heavily modified) came out in 1988.

4. What is the real name of Rubberduck and who is he based on?
Byrd Rentals/actor Burt Reynolds

5. What is the real name of Yankee Poodle and who is she based on?
Rova Barkitt/gossip columnist Rona Barrett

6. Who was the first super-villain that the Zoo Crew faced?
Starro the Conqueror, in the above preview then the first issue of the ongoing.

7. Who was the first human to team with the Zoo Crew?
Superman, same as above

8. Who was the second human to team with the Zoo Crew?
Changeling, in the firnal story of the ongoing

9. What two Earth designations have been given to the Zoo Crew's world?
Normally Earth-C; during the time when DC had exactly 52 Earths, around the start of that company's strange obsession with that number, it was re-designated Earth-26.

10. Which other animal team did the Zoo Crew team with and what is their Earth designation?
Just'a Lotta Animals; Earth-C-Minus; IIRC Eahrt-C-Minus was not given a second designation when they reappeared during the 52 Earths era.

11. Who is the team’s most recent member?
American Eagle

12. What was the first mini-series devoted to the team?
Oz-Wonderland War

13. What was the second mini-series devoted to the team?
Captain Carrot and the Final Ark

14. What was the entire 1980s run, including the first mini-series collected as?
Showcase Presents: Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew

15. What member of the team is related to another superhero?
Fastback is the nephew of the Terrific Whatzit from the previous quiz.

16. In the first Zoo Crew mini-series, who called it a “guarded pleasure” to meet another character?
Dorothy Gale (to the Red Queen)

17. What is the name of the Zoo Crew’s headquarters?
The Z-Building (just as Titans Tower is T-shaped, the Z-Building is Z-shaped).

19. Which artist drew their earliest adventures and their most recent mini-series?
Scott Shaw!

20. One story was an homage to which movie?
Cannonball Run

18. While never confirmed, what is likely the Burglar's last name?

Carradine, and no, it's not likely that it's his last name. While we've never learned his surname, Peter Parker doubtless would know it, and yet he was surprised to learn that Jessica Carradine was the Burglar's daughter. I'd lay better odds that his daughter changed her surname, and the Burglar is Costas, like his apparent nephew.

Andy E. Nystrom wrote:

11a. I can't recall where, but I think it was a baseball field (Yankees?) with Stan officiating

It was the Mets' Shea Stadium. And of course it was Stan officiating lol.

I suspect this isn't the answer, but it's interesting that it says Avengers Starring Shang-Chi, and Shang-Chi later did join the Avengers. And that one green suit kind of resembles Rogue's first costume coincidentally.

Quick challenge - what's unusual about this Marvel UK cover?

Okay, original cover to compare with. As you can see, the colors of his opponents' outfits has changed, and the dialogue was tweaked. There's something else they altered, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Here are the rest:
1. What did Easy Reader claim on the covers of Spidey Super-Stories?
This comic is easy to read.

13. Who did Spider-Man stop Scourge from killing?
Flash Thompson, who was being held without bail for the Hobgoblin crimes.

14. One issue of Marvel Tales had dialogue changed to have Aunt May express an interest in which then more recent series?
Dukes of Hazzard

16. While we may never know exactly why Steve Ditko left Spider-Man, which common urban legend about his leaving has been debunked?
Some people believe he didn't like that the Green Goblin was going to be an established character. He actually liked that idea and may have even suggested it.

Holey Moley, a lot of the questions are still on the board. Sorry, this was suppose to have been a relatively easy quiz, with a few touch questions thrown in. Calling a day on the following (see initial post for caveats):

2. What are the real names of the Lieutenant Marvel (include nicknames)?
3. What ailment did Dudley claim prevented him from using his (non-existent) powers and under what code name?
4. What mystical location was the most frequently visited by Captain Marvel?
5. What was Mary Marvel’s real name prior to learning she was Billy’s sister?
6. How many stories did Black Adam appear in the Fawcett era (full stories, not passing references if any)?
7. Although retconned away less than a decade later, which mini-series initially detailed the origin of the Post-Crisis Captain Marvel?
8. Which graphic novel erased the continuity of the previous question?
9. What was the final appearance of the Pre-Crisis Captain Marvel (as active participant; ignore any quick glimpses in Hypertime or similar things that may have occurred since)?
10. What is Dr. Sivana’s full name?
13. Which Captain Marvel ally couldn’t identify himself without transforming and how was that addressed in the 1990s series?
14. Which villain’s lawyer refused to defend him after hearing Captain Marvel’s testimony?
15. Which Earth-1 villain did Captain Marvel face in the 1970s Shazam! comic series?
17. Name all of Sivana’s offspring Pre-Crisis.
18. Who is Captain Marvel’s feline friend?
20. What was Captain Marvel’s first appearance?

Those are correct. More:
For #1 I believe their nicknames were also used with their real names, e.g. Tall Billy Batson
For #4 I was specifically thinking of the Rock. Sometimes they fly to the Rock directly without going through the tunnel system, e.g. when they are using it to time travel.
13. Freddy transforms by saying "Captain Marvel". In the 1990s run he never used Captain Marvel Jr. as a code name. The CM3 refers to Billy and Mary both using the Captain Marvel code name at the time, making him the third Captain Marvel.
18. His name is sometimes hyphenated, and he is also called Mr. Tawny or Mr. Tawky Tawny; he is specifically a tiger.

 

This quiz is devoted to Doctor Doom. Due to the nature of the character, some of these questions attributed to him may be unrevealed appearances of a Doombot.
1. For what series was Doctor Doom the lead character in some stories?
2. Who was most often his co-star in Super-Villain Team-Up?
3. Which miniature town did Doctor Doom once trap the Fantastic Four in?
4. Which villain was it for a time speculated that Doom might either be related to or actually be?
5. Which character may or may not be Doctor Doom in the future?
6. According to a Secret Wars toy ad, what did Doctor Doom want to make the Earth? I’ll count the answer right even if you get the number of o’s wrong.
7. Who was the first character with the Power Cosmic to have their power stolen by Doctor Doom?
8. Whose power did Doctor Doom steal during the first Secret Wars?
9. Which superhero went after Doctor Doom for defaulting on a payment?
10. A long time goal of Doctor Doom was to rescue his mother from where?
11. Doctor Doom briefly assumed which hero’s mantle (not including mind transfers)?
12. Doctor Doom was for a time a member of which team on the side of good?
13. Doctor Doom teamed with which DC villain in the second Spider-Man/Superman crossover?
14. Which alien race gave him the ability to mind transfer?
15.  Doctor Doom’s country of Latveria, on the map of the Marvel Atlas can be found where part of which country is in the real world?
16. Other than Doctor Doom’s robots, who believed himself to be Doctor Doom for a time?
17. One of Doctor Doom’s robots worked with whom against the X-Men?
18. What has been heavily implied to be the extent of the damage to his face due to the university explosion he blames Reed Richards for?
19. The Fantastic Four’s first encounter with Doctor Doom connected the Thing to whose legend?
20. Which organization went after Doctor Doom for defaulting on a payment, though apparently in this instance it was not intentional on Doom’s part?
EDIT: Overlooked a question I really wanted to ask:
21. Whose "offspring" once infested Doctor Doom's armour?
