3.Who is fatman and who was he a sidekick to?

Thanks in advance guys.
As far as I know, Fatman and Boy Blubber appeared on Freakazoid. There was much sillyness. :D

The answer to #6
According to JSA #15, Courtney is destined to marry Atom Smasher, which, judging from the way he treated her early in the series as a kind of little sister that he was slighting by not allowing in meetings and what-not, really creeps me out. But there you have it.

Preparing for a trivia showdown or something?

This is the only one I know well:

The classic Forgotten Heroes include Cave Carson, Rip Hunter, Rick Flagg (from Suicide Squad), Dane Dorrance (from Sea Devils), Animal Man, Immortal Man, Dolphin and Congo Biill/Congorilla. An updated group showed up in Resurrection Man. It had Ballistic, Ray, Fetish, Vigilante III, Immortal Man and Resurrection Man (they mistakenly thought he was the same person) and Animal Man and Carson. It's weird, but although Dane Dorrance isn't mentioned much in the story he shows up and saves them once out of the blue.

The Human Bomb's formula is 27-QRX. Googling shows it's also been called QRX-27 and X-24.

Anyway...


1.Who is Joe trainer and what superhero did he train?
Don't know; never heard of him...



2.whats the name of the case in which batman keeps the Giant penny in his batcave?

If you mean which case it was that Batman got his giant penny from, it's "The Case of the Penny Plunderer" from a mid-1940's issue of "World's Finest Comics" (before the Superman-Batman teamups, when the title had seperate Batman and Superman features). After defeating some scheme of a thug named Joe Coyne (who was IIRC obsessed with coins/pennies), Batman and Robin kept a giant penny prop of his as a trophy for the Batcave.

Since this story's not been contradicted in the decades since, the story's apparently still canonical---presumably, the Silver Age and current versions of Batman had nearly-identical cases.



3.Who is fatman and who was he a sidekick to?


Not sure...think he was one of the Inferior Five, a short-lived comic about a goofy superhero team of the same name from the late 60's. Maybe Dumb Bunny?



4.DC had a superhero team know as the Forgotten Heroes.Who was on this team?


What Shawn said. They first appeared in an early 80's Superman comic as a collection of obscure 50's/early 60's (early Silver Age) DC characters (hence the "Forgotten" aspect).

Cave Carson: a spelunker ("guy who explores caves") who had various adventures in one of DC's old anthology titles (or his own comic, I forget which). Guess he's still around, but not been used in years (save for appearances in "Crisis" or the like).

Rip Hunter: the "Time Master" went on various time-travel adventures in his own title in the early 60's, eventually becoming one of those stupid "Linear Men" in the 90's.

Rick Flagg (from Suicide Squad): Don't know anything about him...

Dane Dorrance (from Sea Devils): The Sea Devils were a group of underwater SCUBA-gear using explorers who had various adventures (IIRC mainly against spies, modern pirates, and the like) in their own 60's comic. See Cave Carson for their current status...

Animal Man: First appeared in the 60's with his animal-imitation powers. Got used by Grant Morrison in his famous run on the title.

Immortal Man: IIRC, think he's the guy who is reborn into a new body/person each time he dies? Probalby another 50's/60's sci-fi comic character. These days, seems to show up when they need someone to compare-and-contrast with Vandal Savage...

Dolphin: The Aquaman character?

Congo Biill/Congorilla: Congo Bill appared starting in the early 40's "Action Comics" as a jungle explorer. In the late 50's, they opted to "superheroize" him by giving the guy a ring that lets him change bodies with a really strong golden gorilla for a period of time (hence the name "Congorilla"). His run finally got axed in the 60's to make room for Superman-related backup stories. Hasn't been seen in years.


5.Whats the name of Roy lincoln(Human Bomb)'s formula that he swallow's to get his powers.

Guess what Shawn said... don't remember.



6. Who Is stargirl destined to marry on the JSA.

Thanks in advance guys.

What the others said re: Stargirl (I don't know).

-B.

I hope this isn't some kind of trivia contest for us, because I couldn't help but look up one that was nagging at me. Fatman was a Lightning Comics C.C. Beck character, Fatman the Human Flying Saucer, from the late 1960s. His secret identity was a fat millionaire called Van Crawford, and he got the power to transform into a human flying saucer from aliens. I don't think he was anyone's sidekick, but he had a sidekick named Tin Man.

The guy from Inferior Five was just called The Blimp.

Well your quite right Randomguy, thats exactly what these questions are for, but if it makes you feel any better, Im not entering the contest, Im simply helping out a friend. He came to me with these questions, I helped answer a lot of them, but the ones I posted are the ones that got me. I figured, where can someone who has a lot of comic knowledge go for even more knowledge, so I turned to Toonzone. Once again guys, thanx for the help.

Thanks in advance guys.Comics 101 quiz, right?

The only ones I can help you with are Fatman & Stargirl.

Fatman - he was the sidekick to obscure DC Golden Ager Tex Thompson/Americommando/Mr. America. At least, he was in "The Golden Age" miniseries (where he was very well used).

Stargirl - is apparently destined to marry Al Rothstein/Atom-Smasher/Nuklon, according to the epilogue to the story where the JSA fights Kobra (and Al wants to avenge the death of his mother).
