The Marvel Riddle thread

[kytrigger]

Nope...I think I made it too vague (like I said, I suck at making riddles)

[Vanguard07]

Beta Ray Bill?

[kytrigger]

Nope...how long should the riddle go for? Is there a time limit, or does it go until someone gets it no matter what?

[Vanguard07]

You can keep giving hints and keep it going for as long as you like. Or if you think it's gone on long enough you can spill it and start a new one. Basically you're in control untill someone guesses it. After that the person who guessed it is in control.

[Specter313]

Any more hints? I'm completely stumped.

[KevanG]

Same here...

[Sparta*]

Just tell us please! :p

[Brian Braddock]

The Black Knight?

[kytrigger]

[Vanguard07]

lol that could be anybody.
Wolverine?
Iron Man?
The Hulk?
The Vision?
The original human torch?

[KevanG]

Angel/Archangel?

[kytrigger]

Yes!!!!

[KevanG]

Ha! Go me!

[KevanG]

In all fairness it was really down to three other characters if not this one :D
I'll post my riddle after I get back from work.

[kytrigger]

Yeah, I was actually waiting for someone to list all five of the original x-men. Either way, my damn riddle is done...

[Chris Wallace]

Damn. I didn't even think of him.

[Sparta*]

How could I have not gotten that one?! :p

[kytrigger]

How could I have not gotten that one?! :p

Actually if someone didn't get it by this afternoon, my next clue was going to be "check Sparta's signature"...:D

[Asteroid-Man]

May I please post the next one?
EDIT: Nevermind

[Sparta*]

Actually if someone didn't get it by this afternoon, my next clue was going to be "check Sparta's signature"...:D

:p :)

I am a disgrace to Archangel fans everywhere :o

[KevanG]

Alright here's mine. Lets try to make it last longer than my last one (a whole 16 mins) :D

What I am is neither here nor there
While I'm usually only seen in my underwear
I've been called many names
but cookie cutter head was the strangest

[Vanguard07]

... I dunno Namor?

[Specter313]

Jamie Braddock?

[Chris Wallace]

Thing?

[Midnight Ice]

I am a disgrace to Archangel fans everywhere :o
Yes, yes you are........

[Vanguard07]

[kytrigger]

Thing?

That's what I'm thinking too...

[KevanG]

Hate you guys....j/k Vanguard got it first guess.... Your turn Vanguard07

[Sparta*]

Hate you guys....j/k Vanguard got it first guess.... Your turn Vanguard07

At least it lasted longer then 16 minutes this time :p

[KevanG]

I was hoping it would last longer than 1 freakin post too, but whatever. Has Namor been called cookie cutter head anywhere except What if? Thats the only place I've seen it.

[Exploding Boy]

edit: nevermind

[Vanguard07]

haha sweet! K here we go.

I live in a brutal land and i have been made more brutal to suit it.
I have been part of a team but my heart belonged to my own pack
My master is foreign. As is the lord of my land.
I command some but i am not a leader.

[kytrigger]

Sauron?

[Asteroid-Man]

I suck at these but I have a good one

[KevanG]

Guess the current one and then you'll get your turn to post one.

[blah]

Wolverine?

[kytrigger]

Zabu?

[Vanguard07]

no and no

[kytrigger]

Hulk?

[Franklin Richards]

Ka-Zar?


:thing: :doom: :thing:

[ookami]

Silver Surfer?

[KevanG]

Sheeva or Shanna the she devil? I can never remember her name :p

[kytrigger]

Super Skrull

[Vanguard07]

no to all.

hint: not a hero

[Asteroid-Man]

I am thinking it's someone of the brotherhood

[Vanguard07]

... lol getting warm.
Should i spill it?

[Specter313]

I would have thought Sauron, but you already said no to him. Any more hints?

[Vanguard07]

hmm... lets see....

One of my teammates was exceptionally armed.
Another could be dazzlingly bright
Another was a blind man
Our leader was often changing but one was a big headed brat.

That oughta be a good enough hint.

[kytrigger]

hmmm...well I would be thinking of the Freedom Force then, but they I thought they were good for a while.

Commando/Cyborg X?

[KevanG]

Crap I don't know the names of them , but it's the mutates ffrom the savage land... either the frog guy or the wolfman.

[kytrigger]

Crap I don't know the names of them , but it's the mutates ffrom the savage land... either the frog guy or the wolfman.

Good call...I'm pretty sure they're Amphibious and Lupo...I gotta agree with you and say it's Lupo too.

[Vanguard07]

Lupo's correct. Your turn Kytrigger.

[KevanG]

Hey! :p

[Vanguard07]

lol you were on the right track but you didnt actually guess a name...
It doesnt matter to me so much though. If you or Ky wanna post the next one go ahead.
Whichever of you two gets to it first.

[KevanG]

Doesn't matter I just wanted to point it out :D Kytrigger can post the riddle if he wants.

[kytrigger]

Doesn't matter I just wanted to point it out :D Kytrigger can post the riddle if he wants.

It's all yours KevanG. I wouldn't have guessed it if you hadn't said anything.

[KevanG]

Look at my last two riddles, guessed on the first posts. You can put one or if you don't want to then someone can pm me if they want to post one.

[Asteroid-Man]

ARGH! I WANT TO DO A RIDDLE!!!!!!!!!! This blows :(

[kytrigger]

ARGH! I WANT TO DO A RIDDLE!!!!!!!!!! This blows :(

go for it Asteroid-Man

[Asteroid-Man]

I have an evil twin sister with the same "due" as me,
When I died I was saved across the Galaxy,
My Friend is my foe,
I wished I were Joe,
My Guest kicked me out,
I was not like my colleagues now, no doubt,
I was most recently seen combatting in black
And I am still awaiting a welcome back.

8 clues, that should do it!

[Anubis]

Genis-Vell?

[Sparta*]

Adam Warlock?

Eternity?

[Vanguard07]

Aurora?
... Northstar?

[KevanG]

Jean grey?

[Exploding Boy]

I was thinking Northstar.

[JustABill]

Northstar.

[samurai black]

Those clues would lead me to believe it was northstar, but 2/8 isn't pretty good

Charles Xavier, right?

[Specter313]

Charles Xavier, right?

D'oh! That's definitely gotta be it. Why didn't I think of it before? Sheesh. And the second one works too, becuase the Shi'ar saved Xavier when he "died" on Earth. Don't know what the Joe clue pertains to though.

[MiracloFiend]

Yeah, I don't get that part either, but then again I don't read a great deal of X stuff.

[MiracloFiend]

I'm going to take a rain check on posting a riddle for now. Assuming that was the correct answer, somebody else can snag my turn.

[JustABill]

I'll take it. ^_^

[Asteroid-Man]

Yep its Xavier, and the Joe clue was about Joe McTaggert. When he was married to Moira, Xavier wished he was Joe and would always fantasise about it.

[Eddie Brock]

freakshow..
lol, kidding

[MiracloFiend]

I'll take it. ^_^

You do that! http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

[MiracloFiend]

freakshow..
lol, kidding

Nah. He is a total freak. No need to be P.C. about a comic book character.

[Vanguard07]

So who's posting the next one?

[KevanG]

MiracloFiend, I think.

[Specter313]

He said Bill can take his turn.

[KevanG]

Okay then, JustaBill is up next. POST ALREADY!!!! :D just kidding folks

[MiracloFiend]

does this usually take a while? 'cus I could post quicky till his is ready.

[Exploding Boy]

just do it

[MiracloFiend]

Prolly easy is you know 90's cheese:

To tell you then truth,
I never fit in.
Yet filling anothers boots,
this mortal would win.
I bested the Juggernaut,
and other I'm sure.
But all of this paled to my predecessors lore.
During the 90's I wielded a mace,
now the quarter bin is my resting place.

[KevanG]

Thunderstrike?

[MiracloFiend]

Thunderstrike?

Yep! Your turn.

[MiracloFiend]

I thought the mace part would give it away but I liked the rhyme. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

[KevanG]

I just got it because I picked it up from the 10-cent bin at the local comic shop a few weeks ago :D

[KevanG]

Ok lets have this opne last a bit

I'm not invisible
but you'll never see me
My family is varied but special
My kids are each like me in thier own ways
except one
The fathers are all different but
I've never met one of them

[Eddie Brock]

I just got it because I picked it up from the 10-cent bin at the local comic shop a few weeks ago :D
wow, even lower than the 25 cent bin

[KevanG]

It was 25 cents each and I had a bunch, I found about 6 deadpool issues in it :D, and there was 3 Thunderstrke issues in there. The owner said 2 bucks for all of them and it came to around 10 cents each.

[MiracloFiend]

wow, even lower than the 25 cent bin

yeah really. I need to talk to my retaler about that.

[MiracloFiend]

I found about 6 deadpool issues in it :D,

nice.

[Eddie Brock]

nice.
it's DP
of course it's nice

[KevanG]

It's damn near impossible to find any DP back issues these days :(, I'm lucky to find any at all besides DP & Cable.

[Eddie Brock]

It's damn near impossible to find any DP back issues these days :(, I'm lucky to find any at all besides DP & Cable.
my friend Syn has all of them, i think
he'll have to verify it

[KevanG]

*shakes fist* dammit! I can't even find any lots on ebay.

[MiracloFiend]

*shakes fist* dammit! I can't even find any lots on ebay.

Sure you can. They just usually end up selling for $350.http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif

[KevanG]

Or thier across the ocean and shipping is about $50.

[kytrigger]

Ok lets have this opne last a bit

but you'll never see me

except one

I've never met one of them

hmmm...sounds very mysterious which makes me think of those damn cosmic entities. I know Oblivion had a daughter, minions, and whatnot but I always thought Oblivion was male (or as male as abstract cosmic entities could be).

I'll go with either Oblivion or Infinity....

[KevanG]

Neither, sorry. YAY!!! I've passed my one post curse :D

[Specter313]

Mystique?

[KevanG]

Crap... Oh well two posts. Your turn.

[Specter313]

Blond and power seems to run in my family
though my sibilings get more exposure.
I've got the blond, but not the power,
though I had a power in another world.
To get this right,
give both of my names, real and otherworldy.

Illyana/Magik?

[Specter313]

Nope. I'm wondering if it's too hard. I didn't think it would be.

[KevanG]

Edit: Double posting :p

[KevanG]

I'm thinking the gutherie family, But I only know about sam/cannonball and paige/husk. The rest I know **** all about.

[Specter313]

You might be on to something, or you might not. ;)

[Exploding Boy]

Christian Frost?

[Specter313]

Still not a complete match yet.

[Exploding Boy]

Does that mean its half right?

[Specter313]

Maybe one of the guesses. ;)

[Exploding Boy]

Elizabeth Guthrie/Amazon

[Specter313]

Got it. :up: Your turn now.

[Exploding Boy]

I suck at these things so someone else can take my turn

[KevanG]

Aw c'mon mine aren't that great either but I still put mine up.

[Exploding Boy]

Yeah but I dont even read comics...

[KevanG]

Take a character and just make it as impossible to figure out as possible. You don't need the facts just grab some general ideas and make it annoying to figure out.

[KevanG]

Here's one:

Am I dead?
There's a good chance it's yes.
I was built like a house
and acted like a... I can't say that word, can I?
After I got bubbly
I went boom
Unlike Spider-man
I don't hate clones.

[JustABill]

Ben Reilly/Scarlet Spider?

[KevanG]

Nope :D

[Vanguard07]

the Thing?

[Asteroid-Man]

Dr. Doom? I am kinda thinking its a robot though.

[KevanG]

Nope on both counts

[Specter313]

The clones thing makes me think of Sinister, but I don't know.

[KevanG]

I was just rethinking a bit and you can ignore the 3rd and 4th line. They didn't do anything one way or another. Revised version.

Am I dead?
There's a good chance it's yes.
After I got bubbly
I went boom
Unlike Spider-man
I don't hate clones.

[DarkHellRider]

hydro-man

[DarkHellRider]

nevermind i know i'm wrong on that one way off

[KevanG]

You said it, not me. :D

[JustABill]

Kaine?

[Vanguard07]

Speedball?

[JustABill]

I thought him to, but Speedball isn't dead or even remotely thought dead so that throws him out of the running.

[KevanG]

No right answer so far...

[Chris Wallace]

Genis?

[MiracloFiend]

This is some 3rd rate gloop- monster that the Fantastic Four or someone fought in the 60's 'aint it? :)

[kytrigger]

Kraven?

[Asteroid-Man]

what series is he from? Spider-Man? Fantastic Four? X-Men?

[Superbeasto]

Multiple Man???

[KevanG]

Two hints:
She not he
X-men

[KevanG]

This is some 3rd rate gloop- monster that the Fantastic Four or someone fought in the 60's 'aint it? :)

Nope think more recent than the 60's.

[deathshead2]

goblin queen or whatever that clone of jeans name was.

[KevanG]

Nope.

[Exploding Boy]

Magik? Boom-Boom/Meltdown?

[KevanG]

Nope... Remember... "Clone"... Hint hint...

[deathshead2]

x-23

[KevanG]

Nope...

[Exploding Boy]

Revanche?

[KevanG]

YES!!! that took a while :D

[KevanG]

Your turn now...

[Exploding Boy]

great :(

[KevanG]

Them's the rules boy :D

[Exploding Boy]

I was enchanced by an evil monkey
I have a degree in geophysics
And have had my share of lovers Strife
But dont confuse my look with that poindexter

pretty easy

[Asteroid-Man]

Vance Astro

[Exploding Boy]

nope

[JustABill]

Gorilla Man?

[KevanG]

Evil monkey? Sounds like DC or family guy :D

[Vanguard07]

Red Ghost?

[Exploding Boy]

None of the above are right, and think if it more as 'monkey' not monkey.

[Ebil Gig]

Monkey Joe?LOL

[Exploding Boy]

Okay some hints...
blond hair..cosmic energies, starlight, x-rays, heat, sunlight and gamma radiation...

[KevanG]

Quasar?

[Exploding Boy]

no...winter...fall...spring....summer..s

[Specter313]

Cable?

[Exploding Boy]

close

[MiracloFiend]

Havok. And whats the deal with the monkey?

[Exploding Boy]

Yes.

Dark Beast gave him an upgrade

[MiracloFiend]

Lets see how this one goes:

My arch- enemy and I are as different as can be.
One is pure brawn. The other pure brain.
i wield superior technology
while he uses fists
My brain functions at inhuman levels
yet he's barely coherent
why cant i ever win?
the one thing I can't learn is that my ego is too great.

[Ebil Gig]

Forge?Cable?

[Mr. Marvel]

The Leader/ Hulk

[Vanguard07]

yeah sounds like the Leader to me.

[MiracloFiend]

The Leader/ Hulk

Yup. The Leader is correct! Your turn.:word:

[Asteroid-Man]

Well that was ten days ago, so I think it's safe for me to post one. Anyone object?

[kytrigger]

i say go for it

[Midnight Ice]

Go ahead.:xmen:

[Chris Wallace]

Ditto.

[Vanguard07]

Ummm... what the hell happened to this thread?
I'm bringing it back dammit.

I used to be somebody.
I used to be a name.
Now i'm a soldier... a leader... in a war we've already lost.
I'm not him anymore. That was a long time ago.
Now I fight alongside the last hope for a planet and a handfull who've destroyed more planets than I can name.
Hell, havent even seen my ship in years.
Who'd have thought I'd be here?

[Anubis]

This thread refuses to die!!

Spacelord

[Vanguard07]

I wont let it die. I refuse!
and no it's not Spacelord.

[Anubis]

Nova?

[Vanguard07]

nope. You're on the right track though.

[kytrigger]

Ronan

[Vanguard07]

nope.

[Midnight Ice]

Super Skrull?

[Vanguard07]

nope.

[KevanG]

Beta ray bill?

[Vanguard07]

no...
Now you're getting farther and farther away.
I'll give you a hint or two.
-not a big name character
-part of annihilation

[Ice.Man]

Oh:daredevil :sym: :super: :spidey: :ghost: :cyclops: :supes:

[Vanguard07]

umm.... If those symbols indicate your guesses then they're all wrong.
If not i'm not sure how to respond.

Should I just tell you guys and let someone else put the next one up?

[Anubis]

You sure that aint Space Lord? Cuz that sounds a hell of a lot like him.

Drax?

[Vanguard07]

LoL i've never even heard of Space Lord.
It's Peter Quill. Formerly known as Star Lord.

I guess I'm a jerk for not letting you have it anyway but meh.
You can post the next one if you like.

[Anubis]

Space Lord, Star Lord, whatever.

My exsistance is a bit of an enigma.

On the one had, i'm fairly new to this universe,

but then again, as far as I can tell, i've been around as long as my

brother. I've tried to carry on our fathers legacy, but in end I ended

up abandoning it just like my late sibling. And now i've let the woman

I love be taken. I've got to get her back, even if it means teaming up

with her crazy ass father to do so.

[Specter313]

Phyla-Vell?

[Anubis]

You got it.

[Vanguard07]

hmm sounds like a good guess to me.

[Specter313]

Ok, here goes:

I'm like a storage unit for some people.
I've had way too many people use my body to hide in,
so much that I've barely been able to find my own personality.
And now someone else is using my name!
While I've been on one team where they seemed to care,
I'm going to join one where others may understand me better,
but I'll still feel rather alone.

[Vanguard07]

I'm thinking Vision or Rogue... not sure why.

[Specter313]

Nope.

[Vanguard07]

well i've got no idea then... can we get a hint?

[Asteroid-Man]

Jean Grey?

[Specter313]

No to Asteroid. Hmm, for a new hint:

Two of the guesses share a common trait with me,
I'm a girl, but the one taking my name is apparently a he.

[kytrigger]

Emma Frost

[Specter313]

No, again. This person was never an X-Man or woman.

[Mr. Marvel]

Photon? (Monica Rambeau)

[Specter313]

Nope. I think I left a pretty big hint in the last part of the original rumor.

[Hank Pym]

I thought it was Jean as first to, lol.

[Asteroid-Man]

Ok so they are similar to Jean and Rogue, they are female, their name is male, they have never been apart of the X-Men... I am guessing they are a Red-Head

[Specter313]

Actually, yeah, this person does have red hair, and it's not that the name is male sounding, but it's a man that will be using the name soon as well as this female.

[Asteroid-Man]

Ok so I am guessing there is a new character just introduced that will be taking her name?

[Mr. Marvel]

Penance?

[Specter313]

Penance?

Finally! :p Your turn.

[Asteroid-Man]

It Is Penance!
EDIT: Whoops I just saw that :(

[Mr. Marvel]

Dag-nammit, I can get them right but I can never, ever think of any. Asteroid you wanna take this go?

[Hank Pym]

Great job Mr. Marvel. :)

[Mr. Marvel]

Whoever feels like making a riddle should go, I really can't think of any... but i'll enjoy getting them right :)

[Anubis]

Okay, i'll take it

I wasn't always a good person.

I was once a sinister soul, but I managed to

dump that life style. I devoted my life to helping people

instead, and now, apparently I'm a criminal again. I tried to fight for

what I believe in, but I just don't know if it's worth it anymore.

We're all gonna end up dead if we aren't careful.

[Vanguard07]

Luke Cage?
Falcon?

[Anubis]

Nope and nope

[Specter313]

Nighthawk?

[Vanguard07]

Why do i get the vague feeling that it has something to do with the runaways?
...if only i knew anything at all about that team.

[Zoken]

I'm gonna go with Sand-Man

[kytrigger]

Gambit...isn't he evil again?

[Zoken]

Taskmaster?
Madelyn Pryor?

[Anubis]

Nighthawk?

You got it.

[deemar325]

Bump!!!

[Specter313]

I'll put one up tomorrow, I'm busy for now.

[Vanguard07]

I wanna keep this thread going so i'm gonna post one in the meantime.
Here goes...


Most powerful of all who came before me.
My first attempt resulted in a fall. I burned.
I lived but I forgot all but my hate for him
A stranger healed me. I was reborn.
I sought him out wrongly. I fought his allies. I found him twice as strong as before. My equal. I killed my true enemy and became a defender of the future.
I met my end at the final end.

[Vanguard07]

... lol alright i guess nobody's gonna bite on this one.
Anybody else wanna post one instead? It'd be a damn shame to let this thread die.

[Anubis]

Dasak?

[deathshead2]

Doom 2099:huh:

[Vanguard07]

Nah... It's actually Kurse.
Someone else post one. Clearly mine wasnt capable of keeping the thread alive lol.

[blah]

This one is in the form of a song...

If you think I'm a sell-out, clap your hands!
If you think I'm a dork, then clap your hands!
If you think I should be tied, then you're against the registration act
and you end up as the one being tied, oh yes!
I BLACK SABBATH ROCK!!!

[Anubis]

hmmm, I wanna say paste pot pete, but i'll go with iron Man instead.

[Vanguard07]

lol yeah sounds like it.

[blah]

You got it Boogie man!
hehehe

[Anubis]

I am one of a group of four

Two have died, one's in jail, and I

Like many others of my kind, am on the run.

Things look bad now, but I'll bounce back.

I always do.

[Vanguard07]

Speedball? Luke Cage? Spiderman?

[Anubis]

Nope, nope, and nope.

[Vanguard07]

lol well i'm stumped

[Anubis]

Another hint

I've hooked up with another group since my four friends parted ways.

They're cool, especially this chick. It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow

in my heart whenever I look at her.

[blah]

Xavin? I'm not even sure!

[Anubis]

Nope

[Vanguard07]

... yeah i have no idea... the robot dude from runaways? ( dont read it so i'm sketchy on the names )

[Anubis]

Nope

[ookami]

Deadpool????

[Quimby2999]

Hawkeye?

[Roughneck]

Mach IV
