1. The title character of the "V for Vendetta" comic books disguises himself as a character from English history; which one?

Answer: Guy Fawkes

The original "V for Vendetta" stories appeared in "Warrior" comic book, between 1982 and 1985. They were in black and white, and were written by Alan Moore, and illustrated by David Lloyd.
The 2006 film of the same name, directed by James McTeigue, starred Hugo Weaving as V.
In the storyline, Enid Blyton's "Magic Faraway Tree" books are referenced, and at one point V actually reads one of them as a bedtime story for Evey, the lead female character.

Answer: Jerry Steel

V-Man made his debut in the first ever issue of V...-Comic in 1942. The "...-" in the title represented the morse code for the letter V, for Victory.
After a sojurn in the "Urn of Pandora" (along with several other characters who had passed into the public domain when their original publishing rights lapsed) V-Man was revived for the "Project Superpowers" comic issued by Dynamite Entertainment in 2008.

The "Thundercats" television show was first broadcast in 1985, and the original comics were published by Marvel, between 1984 and 1988.
In the early 2000s, DC Comics published five new series' and also issued various items of merchandise which brought the Thundercats characters to a new generation of fans.

Answer: Nicholas Scratch

Salem's Seven first appeared in issue 186 of "The Fantastic Four", published in 1977, and have been in several comics since then, including a storyline in issue 30 of "Four" in 2006.
The four "Sons of Scratch" are Vakume, Brutacus, Thornn, and Hydron, and their sisters, the "Daughters of Scratch", are Vertigo, Gazelle, and Reptilla.
