This is Ultxon, attempting once again to orchestrate a comics quiz.

Here are the simple [TGO read: complex] rules:

1.) NO POSTING ANSWERS. ALL ANSWERS WILL BE PM-ED TO ME. IF YOU POST ANY ANWERS HERE, BE WARNED, YOUR POST(S) WILL BE DELETED!

2.) I will leave the question up for 2 days, and tally the scores after the period

3.) NEW SCORING System: Instead of arbitrarily deciding on point value I will let the amount of correct guesses determine the value.

For example if I ask a simple question like: "What is Spider-Man's real name?" and receive 10 or more correct responces, each member will receive 1 pt. But if I ask an incredibly difficult question and only one person gets it right then they will be rewarded 10 pts.

Basic Scoring System
10 0r more Correct answers- 1 pt each
9- 2 pts each
8- 3 pts each
So on and so forth.

4.) As well, It would be appriciated if people didn't go searching for the answers online, I can't stop you, but I would like this game to be a true test of knowledge and not a "Who can search for this word the fastest at wiki" game.

5) To speed things along, I will ask a couple questions, you can respond to as many as you like. Just make sure you tell me which one you're responding to.

6) Typically I will be the only one posting, but in case any questions are confusing feel free to post questions and I should be able to clarify.

Onto the first question:

1] Stan Sakai is known for writing about the exploits of which character?

2] What body part did Steven Strange ruin in his car accident?

3]Where was Kryptonite invented [What medium invented it first?]
