Question One: Name the villain invented for Batman '66 TV, that made the first crossover to DC Comics? The only one which was created for the series, who seriously made it into DC continuity, was the Bookworm, portrayed by Roddy McDowell. Lots of people (including a past Batman editor) thought Mr Freeze was the show's, but he was the same character who was introduced in a very early 1960s issue of Batman, with a wonderful cover by Curt Swan. My mother picked this off a rack for me brand new, and I read it to pieces. In that issue, he was referred to as Mr Zero. His civilian name remained the same when next he appeared, but his villain name was changed to Mr Freeze, possibly because Jack Schiff didn't realize a Mister Zero had appeared in the Superman (Reeves) TV show. |

I was not aware that Book Worm was in the comics? Was he Mad Hatter? The only one I know is King Tut. Question Two> Name the only actor killed by a Terminator, Preditor and a Xenomorph? |

I don't remember Tut ever showing up in canon - only in that Batman '66 side-venture. The Mad Hatter goes back to the 1940s (1st version) and the 1950s (2nd version). The Dini cartoons used the first Hatter (voiced by Roddy McDowell) so the regular comics brought him back.
The Bookworm (McDowell again, live-action in 1966's season) had probably the funniest plot of any of the show's villains: He left fake clues, then swiped Batman's deductions for his nefarious and campiest plot.

Hint for question two> The movies involved are, Terminator, Aliens, and Preditor two, and one of the characters involved was extremely minor.

Tut made appearances in the mid 1980s comics Dang - I remember Maxie Zeus who had the same shtick replacing Tut's persona with Zeus's, but was stationed overseas during most of the 80s. |

The answer to question two is Bill Paxton, he had a very minor appearance in Terminator as a one of the bikers who Arnold originally got his clothes from.
Question 3> Time for some AD&D questions>What is unusual about the entry for Elves in The MM(1st ed)?

I blame my mom, who must have wearied of reading comics to me over and over and over again, so she taught me to read. I blame George Reeves too. |

I could Google it but that would be cheating. All I know without looking it up is that it was a loooonnnnggg time before I was born.  |

I don't know this, but I remember which movie supposedly caused the creation of the PiGgy-13 rating.

#5 who was the first actor to play the Preditor(bonus points if you can say why he got fired after only a couple of days of filming) It was the muscles from Brussels ... Jean Claude Van Damme. Memory fails as to why he quit. |

Memory fails as to why he quit. I think the guess above of ego would be either the truth or really close to it. |

Memory fails as to why he quit. Correct, but it wasnt ego, he was a stunt man and they asked him to jump from a high tree. He said he would break both his legs and sure enuf, The guy that did the stunt broke both his legs |

They were wrong, as Doom Patrol debuted in "My Greatest Adventure" almost simultaneously with X-men #1. Arnold Drake (DP's creator) could never believe Stan hadn't somehow stolen from him, even though he later worked for Stan, writing - ironically - the X-men.

Ah were they?, Lee played golf with the head of DC comic and reportedly told Lee all about Doom Patrol and they are too close for it be a coincident. Leader in wheelchair? social out casts? Doom Patrol is extremely close to Xmen. (but I am A DC fanboy) |
