Ok, here's the pitch.
Person A) comes up with a question, Persons B)-Z) try to figure it out, and Person C) answers, and then Person C) asks a new question, and repeat 
Rules: No google! No ask.com! No search engines or nothing. This is from the brain, people, from THE BRAIN!
Get all that?
Hee hee!
Question One: Day One:
We'll start easy. We'll start easy and Marvel.
Before Marvel Comics became Marvel Comics, it had gone through two other incarnations. At one point, it was called "Timely Comics." Under what other name did it once operate?
Good luck, sports fans!

OK, here's my DC2 Teaser!
The Topic is Golden Age DC/Batman!
Ah, The Golden Age of Comic Books. A time in which many of the characters we still enjoy today were first introduced. In August of 1942, Detective Comics #66 hit the newsstands, and the readers were introduced to a new Batman villain known as Two-Face! Although Two-Face's villain name was the same as it is today (Two-Face), the name of the district attorney was not Harvey Dent! So, the question is:
What was Two-Face's original civilian name?

Harvey Kent. It was changed because they didn't want people to think that he was related to Superman.
I don't have any questions right now but I'll come up with one...

The topic is the Death of SuperMan.
The year was 1993. In the aftermath of the Death of Superman 4 characters filled in for Superman. Two were Hank Henshaw and the Last Son of Krypton. the other two were debut characters.
Who were the debut characters?

Bloody obvious that was! Ok, onto my speciality, namely Starman! Name every character to bear the name Starman during any period of time, Golden Age onwards. Extra marks for presentation... |

Name every character to bear the name Starman during any period of time, Golden Age onwards. They were all called Starman. Technically, I think this is a correct answer. If you want me to be more specific (which is a shame, because I never read much Starman) there's the obvious Ted Knight and Jack Knight. I've got a feeling Jack Knight's brother (whose name I can't recall) might have also been Starman pre-Jack. Then there's the Starman from outer space who used to be in Adventure comics (called Prince Gavyn if I remember). There was Star Boy out of the Legion (Thom Kallor) who might have called himself Star Man in the Adult Legion story, but I doubt it (and that was written out of continuity anyway in Legion 300 so I guess he's out so forget I mentioned him). There's also the Starman character in the David Bowie song whose identity was never revealed (and, if it was, and we'd got to know him, it would probably have blown our minds). Thinking about it some more I think there was also a guy from First Issue Special (Will Peyton?). |

Well, duh, I should have been specific.
What are the civilian names of every character to hold the title of Starman in DC history, Golden Age onwards?
Specific enough?
So, for you Mark... You've named... Four. By name.
