The DC Riddle thread

[spartin2008]

This idea came from King Rulers marvel riddle thread. Pretty straight forward. Someone posts up a riddle describing a DC hero (or villain) and the everyone guesses who it is. Once they're confirmed as being correct, they can post the next one. Pretty simple. So don't screw this up. :)

People consider me to be a jerk.

Others say i'm misunderstood.

I say I just tell it like it is, I'm the best, and I always was.

I'm a warrior damnit! And the guys in charge picked me to pick up

the slack for you noobs! Cuz I'm numero uno baby.

Who am I?

[Anubis]

Ambush bug!

[hippie_hunter]

Batman :confused:

[Anubis]

John Stewart?

[Fantastic Fan22]

Guy Gardner

[spartin2008]

Wow Fantastic Fan22 got it, o and if i didnt menton this before you can make more than one guess each post... Fantastic Fan22, your up.

[Fantastic Fan22]

hmm lemme try this out, this'll probably be an easy one but whatever

I've got a lot to live up to.

The one's who've come before said there's no way he can do it.

He's too young and reckless. Never thinking, always acting.

Well I'll show them.

When my time comes, I'll carry the torch, but until then, I've got a lot of work to do.

[Anubis]

Kid Flash Bart Allen

[Fantastic Fan22]

Yeah, i knew that was too easy

[Anubis]

My story starts with Tragedy. I was a man of many accomplishments.

Everything I set out to do, I succeeded. Then, I lost someone dear.

I wanted to end it all after that, but a tale of a hero inspired me.

Inspired me to fight for whats right. Sure, Life's not fair, but I set out to

level the playing field. And I will succeed.

[yenaled]

Mr. Terrific II?

[Anubis]

You got it.

[spartin2008]

wow, good job :D its your turn.

[yenaled]

These are actually quite hard to write without making it blatantly obvious

I was a film star, but had to turn to robbing banks

I could walk right through them... But something went wrong,

Forced to hide behind a mask.

One look and you will be dead.

It's an Injustice, I tell you.

...

[Anubis]

heeh thats a good one....but not good enough.

Johnny Sorrow.

[spartin2008]

Scarecrow, Joker, Two-face, ???

[yenaled]

Anubis got it :D

[spartin2008]

Darn it!!!

[Anubis]

Now let me get this point across, I have never been what

you would call a nice fellow. One might even call me a "Bad

guy". But, I was just being me. Call it the prerogative an

immortal. It's been a good life. I've stolen. I've murdered. I've

even saved a life here and there. For now, I'm inclined to stay

in my home, in my beautiful jewel of a city, and drink my tea in

the shadows.

[yenaled]

hehe I like it.

The Shade :D

[spartin2008]

wow, i really dont know this one...this is tough. CRAP, I JUST READ ABOUT HIM:D

[Anubis]

hehe I like it.

The Shade :D

Ha, your pretty good at this. Correct.

[yenaled]

I wish I didn't know them, these really arn't easy to write.

I'm the Emerald Warrior, the most prolific of all.

However, no-one ever suspects me.

Nobody ever seems to notice me, even when then are standing right next to me.

But I'm not hard to miss.

However, I'm not one to socialize.

...

[spartin2008]

Shadow Lass, Martian Manhunter???

[Anubis]

Mogo

[yenaled]

Of course; right again.

[Anubis]

I, was a healer. I used my abilities to help people, but then.....he came.

he started as a voice, but then, he grew to become more. I....I

had no control over him. The things he did. I fought against

him. I tried, but then he, banished me. Banished me from my

own body. Into the Pitt, while this mad man continued to use

MY body! But that's okay, because, now he's gonna

be joining me. Whats left of him anyway.

[WompuM]

Damn... this is over my head... Etrigan?

[Anubis]

nope

[spartin2008]

NO Clue

[Warhammer]

This is a tough one.

[spartin2008]

Lifeguard, Elixir ???

[Anubis]

*hint* Recently died. in Infinate Crisis.

[Fledermaus]

Doctor Polaris

[Anubis]

Doctor Polaris

Bingo

[Fledermaus]

Damnitt, now I have to think of a riddle.
give me a bit, everybody.

[Fledermaus]

The first time we met, I was a little furry,
then I wore a cape,
Just when you think purrple is my color,
I break out the leather.

[batnkevlar]

Catwoman?

[Fledermaus]

I knew I sucked at this before i even started.

Your turn.

[batnkevlar]

I've been around town more times than you know
I'm always tryin to get my daughter a beau
Right now my body's in a mess
I sired Arkady Duvall in TAS

[Antitang]

Just gonna go out on a limb here and say Ra's Al Ghul

[Anubis]

I think you're right.

[deemar325]

Bump.

[BlackOpsTengu]

I tread the same path my father did, never escaping from his shadow.
The same tragedies, cuts, and loss of hope.
No matter how hard I fight the good fight, or who I lead into battle,
will it even matter in the end?
Will you remember me when I'm gone?

[Fledermaus]

The Ray

[BlackOpsTengu]

Nope,

[The Leaguer]

Nightwing?

[Anubis]

I tread the same path my father did, never escaping from his shadow.
The same tragedies, cuts, and loss of hope.
No matter how hard I fight the good fight, or who I lead into battle,
will it even matter in the end?
Will you remember me when I'm gone?

Vulcan?

[BlackOpsTengu]

Nope and nope,

here's another hint:

Just to die and be free, end it all, here, in fire, in the giant's lair.

[Anubis]

Shining Knight?

[Harlekin]

Orion.

[BlackOpsTengu]

Damn I picked a good one. :D

All of the clues are there, especially in that last little line I added.

[Anubis]

I tread the same path my father did, never escaping from his shadow.
The same tragedies, cuts, and loss of hope.
No matter how hard I fight the good fight, or who I lead into battle,
will it even matter in the end?
Will you remember me when I'm gone?

Nope and nope,

here's another hint:

Just to die and be free, end it all, here, in fire, in the giant's lair.

Frankinstein?

[Fledermaus]

Ragman

[BlackOpsTengu]

Nope.

Dang, lots of characters with daddy issues. There's still enough clues though.

One more guess and then I tell.

[Anubis]

Spoiler? Talia? Neesa? Alex Luthor?

[BlackOpsTengu]

Nope!

Ha, I win.

Rick Flagg Jr.

"I tread the same path my father did, never escaping from his shadow."

Dad was in Suicide Squad, so was Rick.

"The same tragedies, cuts, and loss of hope."

Both Flaggs lost hope towards the end of their lives, losing many comrades and loved ones, and wanting to die.

"No matter how hard I fight the good fight, or who I lead into battle,"

Who I lead into battle was a big one. Flagg Jr lead heroes and villians, not just heroes.

"Will it even matter in the end?"

Rick thought his life was useless towards the end.

"Will you remember me when I'm gone?"

Rick lost everyone close to him with the exception of Nightshade, whom he never realised his romantic relationship with. He was too depressed.

"Just to die and be free,"

Hello? SUCIDE SQUAD! I was sure someone would get that! :D

"end it all,"

A common euphanism for Sucide.

"here, in fire,"

Flagg died in a nuclear explosion inside of... *drumroll*

"in the giant's lair."

Joutenheim, which means lair, or city of giants.

:up:

Hey, its a riddle sucker, I'm not going to make it easy. :p

The main clue was the death wish, sure others may have daddy issues, but how many of them want to die?

[Anubis]

I never would have gotten that.

[spartin2008]

bump

[Anubis]

I lost my parents when I was very young. Some wierdos took me in

but I grew to love them all like a family. Especially my new mom.

But...I lost them all one day. If it weren't for my next family, I don't know

what would have become of me. I became a bit of a jokster. Made a few

really close friends. Even became a leader if you can believe that.

[yenaled]

Beast Boy?

[Anubis]

You got it.

[yenaled]

Raised in darkness a life I would learn to be a lie

Meeting my real father was a Happy event.

Taking his name and with his abilities.

Sunlight wasn't something be feared but rather mine to control.

I became a hero.

[Fledermaus]

The Ray

[yenaled]

It is.

[Fledermaus]

Damn I hate riddles.

My real life started with 2 big bangs

Some say I'm aloof, cold and cocky,

They're right.

Aloof, to stay above the darkenss I'm wrapped in

Cold, to stay above the pain I see, the pain I feel,

Cocky? Not when you can back it up.

[Vanguard07]

I dunno. Guy Gardner?

[Fledermaus]

I knew that would be a guess when i put in cocky, but no, not Guy.

[ToddIsDead]

Nightwing? Batman?

[Fledermaus]

Batman
that's it.

[ToddIsDead]

Cool.

This one kind of sucks.

______________

I'm not from here.

I'm alien.

I am the last one, yet I have many allies.

I am immensley powerful.

The element is my only enemy.

I am cold, almost unemotional.

I love chocolate.

[El Bastardo]

I'm probably wrong, since I know almost nothing DC, but what the hey :D

Martian Manhunter?

[ToddIsDead]

Bingo. It is Martian Manhunter.

Your turn.

[El Bastardo]

Egads. I don't know if I can come up with one. >.>
This is gonna blow. One, I'm anti-poetry, and DC isn't my forte. =D
Oh well!

Black and blue with broken bones and other wounds, (courtesy of NIN lyrics)

I'm stuck in a sibling rivalry, or am I elsewhere?

I've almost descended into a soap opera like Spider-man,

and now I'm not even written like I should be. It was only a year!

But that's okay - I was first, and trained by one of the world's finest.

Oh well.

[ToddIsDead]

Nightwing

[El Bastardo]

Obviously. Hah.

You make a riddle. I won't answer it this time. :D

[ToddIsDead]

I suck at riddles and poems and all of that stuff, but here goes:

___________________


I am a legend from a long time ago, but have also been to the future.

I have since been long forgotten.

I carrie many scars. On the inside and the outside.

Some may see me as a hero, others will see me as a villian.

Those who cross my path either need my help, or will need the help of God, because they will not survive.

I live by the dollar, and die by the bullet.

[Anubis]

Jonah Hex?

[ToddIsDead]

Yep. You got it. Your turn.

[Anubis]

I'm a simple thief. Sure, I wear a costume, I got me a gimmick.

They say that other guy is better. Pfft, he's a kook, I'm the real deal.

Unlike where that dorks from, we take our thievery seriously around these

parts. We dress up because you gotta do that sorta thing if you wanna

make it here. I steal. I've killed a few when I had to. Heh, some when I

didn't as well. You gotta keep you're head around here. My guys, we

learned long ago, in this town, the hoods gotta stick together. Because you

could wind up in the slammer in an instant if you're not careful.

[ToddIsDead]

I...have no idea.

[Anubis]

Really? It's kinda easy actually.

[batnkevlar]

Trickster II huh?

[ToddIsDead]

Sometimes I have trouble seeing something that's obvious. I guess I just over analyze stuff and don't notice something that's glaringly sticking out.

[Anubis]

Trickster II huh?

Nope

[Fledermaus]

Captain Cold?

[Anubis]

Captain Cold?

You got it.

[batnkevlar]

Why's it Cold? Why not Trickster II?

[yenaled]

If anything it could be Trickster I, not Trickster II...

If it wasn't Cold that is.

[batnkevlar]

If anything it could be Trickster I, not Trickster II...

If it wasn't Cold that is.

Oh true, i figured it was alluding to a sequelster...

[Anubis]

Well, I can see how one could come to that conculsion, but when I wrote,

"They say that other guy is better. Pfft, he's a kook, I'm the real deal." I was refuring to Mr. Freeze.

[Fledermaus]

I gotta quit playing this game.

N..n..nobody likes me.

I don't know why, c..c..cause I'm better than all of them.

There was this one boy, though, b..b..but he's not a problem anymore.

I'm a real hero. I'll show them all.

Everybody knows a real hero has a c..c..cape.
