Alliteration has been used by a number of writers as a tool to make their cartoon or comic book characters more memorable. This trial tries to test that theory.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In Disney Studios' "Ducktales" who is the criminal gang with the alliterative name that is continually trying to rob Scrooge McDuck of his fortune?

Answer: Beagle Boys

The Beagle Boys first appeared in "Walt Disney Comics & Stories" #134 (November, 1951), "Terror of The Beagle Boys". Despite having top billing, by virtue of being included in the title, they didn't appear until the final frame, nor did they have any lines, but it is implied that the Boys had been around for some time. The Beagles first encounter Scrooge McDuck in 1880 on a Mississippi Riverboat.

At the time the gang consisted of Blackheart Beagle, the grandfather of the current gang of boys, and his three sons.

The boys have all been to prison and their convict numbers are variations of the digits 176. The only exception to this is Blackheart whose number was 186-802. In the "Ducktales" series there are seven main Beagles; Bigtime, Burger, Bouncer, Baggy, Bankjob, Bebop and Babyface. (Alliteration gone mad - they all start with 'B').

There are quite a few other Beagles who make cameo appearances in the series and the majority of these also have names that start with the letter 'B'.
2. Wade Winston Wilson appeared as a villain in the 2009 movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". As an amalgamation of powers garnered from other mutants by what name is he better known?

Answer: Deadpool

Deadpool's first appearance is in Marvel Comics "The New Mutants" edition 98, which was published in February, 1991. He immediately drew comparisons with Deathstroke from DC Comics' "Teen Titans".
In the comic version Wade Wilson is a young man dying of cancer who is recruited into a programme called "Weapon X" which may offer him a way of defeating his cancer. The programme gives his body the ability to regenerate tissue and organs that have been damaged or destroyed, at an accelerated rate. It also endows him with super agility, heightens his endurance and significantly lengthens his lifespan. Being an expert with the sword and a range of martial arts he now becomes the ultimate assassin.
Deadpool has a range of other attributes and there have also been a number of different versions of him, too many to be detailed here.
In another case of alliteration gone mad Wade Winston Wilson is portrayed in the X-Men Origins movie by Ryan Rodney Reynolds. There was also a "Wolverine and the X-Men" television series planned where Deadpool would have been voiced by Nolan North but the series did not proceed.

Further information on Deadpool can be gleaned from Marvel.com.
3. The now defunct Dell Comics introduced which alliterative hero in 1962 whose name is Matt Price, a boy endowed with amazing mental powers?

Answer: Brain Boy

Matt Price, also known as Brain Boy, is an anthropology student who does work for the US Secret Service. He appeared in Dell Comics' April 1962 issue #1330, which was called "Four Colour Comics". Brain Boy then got his name on the front of the next edition, "Brain Boy #2". Sadly it was all over by edition #6.

Brain Boy's back-story reveals that his father is killed when the car that he's driving hits an electrical tower. Also in the car is the pregnant Mrs Price who survives the crash and the resultant electric shock when a broken power cable from the damaged tower touches their car. Two months later Matt is born and immediately responds to questions in perfect English. His enormous mental powers include telepathy and levitation and he is also able to exercise mind control over others.
4. We all know that Superman's (most) famous girlfriend is Lois Lane but which lady was his next (most) famous girlfriend, a relationship that started when Superman was a young boy growing up in Smallville?

Answer: Lana Lang

In the early Superboy stories, Lana is a neighbour of the Kent family and is generally seen a romantic link to Clark during his teenage years. As an adult, Lana goes on to become an anchor woman with a Metropolis TV Station and is also portrayed as a rival to Lois Lane for Supeman's affection.
Lana has a number of adventures in the guise of the Insect Queen after gaining powers from a bio-genetic ring given to her by an alien that she rescued.
The descriptions of Lana's life above relate to the Lana Lang in the Earth One universe. DC Comics, however, utilise a 'multiverse' system which enables them to use similar characters with differing abilities, pasts and futures to create a range of alternate storylines.
In another episode of alliteration gone mad the Superman world is synonymous with characters bearing two L's. You already know of Lois and Lana from the options above. Linda Lee is one of the versions of Supergirl and is also Superman's cousin, Lyla Lerrol is a famous actress on the planet Krypton and Letitia Lerner is Superman's babysitter. In addition there's Lex Luthor, Superman's arch nemesis, Lex's parents, Lionel and Lillian, and his grandparents (on Lex's father's side) Lachlan and (E)liza. There are numerous others that can be viewed at Superman Wiki.
5. In 1964 Charlton Comics revived a version of which character, with the alter ego of archaeologist Dan Garret, who obtains his mystical powers while working in Egypt?

Answer: Blue Beetle

There have been a number of creations going by the guise of Blue Beetle, all of whom have had some similarity in their back-stories. Blue Beetle first appeared in "Mystery Men Comics" #1, which was released by Fox Comics in 1939. This version would take a special vitamin pill called "2-X" which gave him his super strength.
The resurrection of Blue Beetle by Charlton Comics saw Garret gain power from a mystical scarab (beetle) by invoking the phrase "Kaji Dha!". In doing so he would acquire super strength and vision as well as the ability to shoot blasts of energy. Charlton's version ran until 1966.
Later versions would be introduced by AC Comics, DC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment
6. J. Jonah Jameson (Jr) appears in the Marvel Comics universe as the editor-in-chief of which fictional newspaper?

Answer: Daily Bugle

The Daily Bugle was formed in 1897. Jameson commenced with the paper as a cadet reporter while he was still in high school. Eventually, the Bugle runs into hard times and Jameson, who at this time has inherited a massive fortune from his deceased father in law, buys it out. Under Jonah's reign the Bugle adopts a strong anti super hero slant, which may have stemmed from Jameson's inbuilt scepticism about the amount of trust that can be bestowed to those with so much power. There are other story lines that suggest this may have been an outgrowth from the abuse Jameson received as a child from his war hero father.
Here's some more alliteration madness. Employees at the Daily Bugle include Robbie Robertson (editor), Betty Brant (reporter) and Peter Parker (photographer).

The Daily Globe is the Bugle's main rival whose editor in chief is Barney Bushkin, the Daily Planet is from the Superman universe and the Daily Prophet is from the world of Harry Potter.
7. In 1953 Harvey Comics introduced which children friendly character whose insatiable appetite provides her with super strength?

Answer: Little Lotta

Lotta Plump (try getting away with a name like that in today's politically correct society) has the two things a child desires - the ability to eat everything in sight and great strength. However, despite the amount that Lotta eats (and for that matter what she eats) she is never seen as either obese or a slob. Additionally, the more that she eats, the stronger she will get. Lotta lives in the fictional town of Bonnie Dell and is friends with Richie Rich.

When she dresses up as her favourite super hero, Flying Man, she becomes Leaping Lotta.

Her ambition when she grows up is to become a police officer with the Bonnie Dell Police Force.
8. What sort of creature is Tennessee Tuxedo?

Answer: Penguin

"Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales" was produced by Total Television and aired on CBS between 1963 and 1966. The show is built around Tennessee and his good friend Chumley, a walrus. They're residents at the Metropolis Zoo who get involved in a number of hare-brained adventures. Chumley is usually the one who exhibits caution about each scheme but is always sold on the plan by Tennessee's confidence and catch-cry "Tennessee Tuxedo will not fail".

Their friends in these adventures include Howler (a dog), Yakkety (a yak) and Baldy (an eagle).

Their main rival is Tiger Tornado. Tennessee's voice is provided by Don Adams, better known as Agent 86, Maxwell Smart, from the 1966 television series "Get Smart".
9. In an apparent parody of Superman, which cartoon character made appearances on the 1980 television series "The Flintstone Comedy Show"?

Answer: Captain Caveman

Captain Caveman is covered in body hair, in a similar way to Cousin Itt from the Addams Family. Remarkably from within this hair he is able to extract an incredible range of objects that he seems to pull out at some very opportune moments. He possesses extraordinary strength and the ability to fly, however, the latter has been known to fail him at the worst possible times.
In his day to day life Captain Caveman has a job at the Daily Granite where he meets Wilma (Flintstone) and Betty (Rubble). Here he goes by the name of Chester and to keep his identity a secret he puts on a pair of glasses and a tie.
Freaky Frankenstone is a teenager in the show who is a friend of Pebbles Flintstone. The Great Gazoo is a small green alien who has been exiled to Earth for inventing a doomsday machine. He appears in the original "The Flintstones" animated series (1960-1966) and Goblin Gruesome also appeared in the same series.
10. Who is Happy Hogan?

Answer: Tony Stark's (Iron Man) chauffer

Harold "Happy" Hogan is a failed boxer who saves Tony Stark's life in "Tales of Suspense" #45 (September, 1963). In gratitude Tony gives him a job as his chauffeur. Hogan also acts as Tony's bodyguard and personal assistant.
In another storyline Hogan accidentally gets exposed to a cobalt ray and mutates into a giant humanoid called The Freak. Ironman manages to return him to his former state but the opportunities are taken by the writers to expose Hogan to the ray and have him revert to The Freak on a regular basis. Along the way he marries Tony Stark's secretary, Pepper Potts (more alliteration), divorces her and then marries her again. To add some spice to the storyline a love triangle is created between Pepper, Hogan and Tony.
In the movies, "Iron Man" (2008) and "Iron Man 2" (2010) Hogan is portrayed by the film's director, Jon Favreau, however, there is no intimation of a relationship between he and Pepper.
For the record, Wonder Woman's chef is a half man, half bull character called Ferdinand, Lex Luthor's personal assistant is Mercedes "Mercy" Graves and Dr Strange's manservant is called Wong.
