Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Shi'ar Imperial Guard member Warstar is two robots. What 1950's television puppets are they named after?

Answer: Beany and Cecil

Their names were given as 'B'Nee' and 'C'cll' during the fight for Phoenix's life on the moon at the end of the Dark Phoenix saga.
2. When Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants attacked the US Senate in 'Days of Future Past', which Doonesbury characters were outside when Storm blasted all the combatants out of the building?

Answer: Rick and Joanie

It's true! In the strip, Rick and Joanie were working in Washington at the time. Rick worked for the Washington Post, and was scrambling to get the story.
3. When the 'new' X-Men first faced the Sentinels (Stephen Lang's versions), which original creators of the series made a cameo appearance?

Answer: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby

Really! Scoot and Jean are kissing right before the Sentinels attack, and Kirby and Stan are complaining that they never did anything like that when THEY had the book.
4. What kind of wings did Pirate Kitty get in 'Kitty's Fairy Tale'?

Answer: butterfly

She hated 'em, too.
5. Who did Lilandra tell to assume command of the Shi'ar Imperial Fleet when Admiral Samedar's treachery was exposed during the X-Men's first brush with the Brood?

Answer: Captain K'rk

Yes, she turned over her fleet to Captain K'rk (who also 'foolishly opposed' Samedar in his plotting against Lilandra).
6. Who did Cyclops date between Phoenix 'dying' and Phoenix dying?

Answer: Colleen Wing

Remember, it's 'Phoenix', not 'Jean' that died. This question is in reference to the time right after The X-Men thought Beast and Phoenix died in Magneto's volcano in the Antarctic.
7. Who first discovers Nightcrawler's nearly invisible in shadows?

Answer: The Little People

At Cassidy Keep, when the X-Men fight Black Tom and Juggernaut. Black Tom knocks Nightcrawler out, and the Little People see him half in and half out of shadows. They find out before Nightcrawler does.
8. When Phoenix fights Firelord before opening the stargate to send the X-Men to save the Universe from the M'Kraan Crystal, which X-Men creative team makes a cameo appearance?

Answer: Dave Cockrum and Chris Claremont

Firelord's been hurled by Phoenix towards Washington Square Park, where Chris Claremont's saying '... anyway, Dave, he hits the ground with this incredible... sound effect.' This is interesting in that they're writing themselves writing the book. This is also interesting if you notice a LITTLE too much while you're reading.
9. What's the name of the boat the Blackbird nearly capsizes when the X-Men are on the way to Muir Isle because of Proteus?

Answer: Audrey II

This is a hidden reference to the movie 'Little Shop of Horrors'.
10. In the Shi'ar Imperial Guard's first appearance, which Imperial Guardsman is the first to fall?

Answer: Mentor

I'm not sure if Mentor was ever seen again... the only distinguishing characteristic of the character was that he looked suspiciously like Brainiac.
