The Official DC Stupid Question Thread....

[C. Lee]

Got a question for you.

I picked up Superman/Batman #1 -7 hardcover and read it today.....there is a dark haired girl in dark costume with a red "S" on her chest.....just who is she?

 

[Darthphere]

Shes a Supergirl from the future and her name is Matrix. Sorry dont remember her real name off the top of my head.

 

[Bat-Mantis]

She was a mix of Lois Lane's DNA and Superman's DNA, right?

Anyway, she jumped into the timestream or something. She's dead and gone, thank god. She sucked.

 

[C. Lee]

Thanks guys...after being out of comics for so long, there's a lot of catching up to do.

They had to make something other than Kryptonite hurt him

It's unique wavelengths don't corespond to anything his bio matrix force field can protect against, they don't cohere by physical rules. So he's much more vulnerable to it.

 

[Shawkur]

Thats another thing, Supes "force field"; it seems like it was invented to explain why Supes' costume doesnt get torn except his costume sometime does get torn. I take it that it takes alot of force to penetrate his force field?

Also on a somewhat related topic, it seems to be conventional comic knowledge that Supes cant be cut by admantium. Isnt it more accurate to say Wolvie doesnt have the strength to cut Supes with admantium? Like if Hulk Fastball Sunday'd Wolvie into Hulk wouldnt that make a Supes-kabob?

It gets torn when a great amount of stress is applied to it, aka he takes a bad ass beating. Two occurences that come to mind is when he fought Doomsday to the Death, and his fight with The Professor Hulk in Marvel vs. DC.

Well, the thing is this. Wolverine can't cut The Hulk on his own either. But, let me bring up an incident that once happened. Wolverine was being held up by The Hulk, like he was being crucified, arms outstretched, Hulk was holding him up. Hulk was holding the his claws, pretty tightly at that, and they weren't cutting him. Wolverine brought his claws back in, and it sliced up The Hulk's hands, his own strength worked against him. Same thing would work for Superman, he could cut himself on them with his own strength.

I have two "stupid" questions relating to Catwoman:

1. What is Catwoman's origin? I mean, why does Selina Kyle take the name 'Cat'? (Yes, I know nothing about her, so please, sue me...)
2. Will Patience Prince, the movie Catwoman, will be featured as an official character in any DC Comics?

   Thank you for your time...

Well, the only origin I have seen so far was the one in Batman Year One. Where she was a hooker and was inspired to become a colorful theif by watching the Bat in action. I think the upcoming Catwoman book by Jeph Loeb "When in Rome" may cover her true origin. I don't know. As far as I can tell she's just some slightly crazy broad who decided to dress as a Cat cause it fit with the whole Car Burgler thing.

I see... so she really doesn't have any "real" origin, yet.
Anyway, thank you both for your time.

Young Selina Kyle was found beaten up and unconscious outside a mission in Gotham City by a nun. While in the hospital, a cop referred her to a self defense specialist. She went to him and began learning. Inspired by Gotham's new vigilante, the Batman, Selina decided to wear a mask - she adopted the cat as her other persona. Selina attacked her pimp - Stan. She was surprised to see her sister, Maggie, now a nun. She ran, and Sister Magdalene spoke with cops and began tracking Selina. Word got back to the Catwoman that her sister had been looking for her. She confronted her sister. After they spoke, Stan kidnapped the nun. The cops questioned Selina about the nun. Batman showed an interest in the pimp/nun situation and began investigating. The cops began tailing Selina hoping she'd lead them to Stan. As Catwoman, she tracked him and her sister. They were holed up in an abandoned theater. After a struggle on a catwalk, Stan and Magdalene fell. Batman saved the sister, but Stan died in the fall. Selina's friend, Holly, was at the scene when the cops arrived. Batman got Sister Magdalene to safety. After a three week stay in the hospital, Magdalene was visited by Selina. Holly came in beaten up, she said a cop did it. Catwoman went after the cop. Batman was able to stop her from killing the cop (he was tipped off by the nun). Catwoman kissed Batman, and catching him off-guard, she escaped.

So I was right, hooker, turned master thief, turned hero. Didn't know about all that other stuff though. Good lookin out.

 

[NeoSamurai]

When in Rome is more of a sequel to Dark Victory but follows Catwoman's story and her relationship to the Falcone family (of which the Roman was her father).

 

[Bat-Mantis]

Wait... Carmine Falcone was her father?

 

[Anubis]

apparently....

 

[TheCorpulent1]

When was that revealed??

 

[Anubis]

In the When in Rome mini thats coming out............maybe...........I don't know. All I know is that there supposed to be some sort of connection between her and the Falcones. That she's related to them in some way.

 

[NeoSamurai]

It was revealed in Dark Victory.

What next?

 

[The Leaguer]

Can someone explain how Metamorpho came back from the dead? Before he popped up in Outsiders, the last I saw of him was his walking corpse in the JLA story with the Id, that wish-giver from the 6th dimension. Did they explain how he came back in Outsiders, and I just missed it?

 

[NightRiver]

The metamorpho in outsiders is not the original metamorpho. They explain it in issue 7 of Outisders. The original Meta, saved a bunch of heroes, from catastrophe in space by turning into somehting of an escape pod and got back to earth.(I forget who exactly, as Im at work and my comic is at home.) During re entry, pieces of his body fell to earth and stuff. One of those pieces is the Metamorpho in Outsiders.

Somehow, that piece evolved and thought he was Rex the original Metamorpho. After a confrontation, Metamorpho let him live only if he came up with a different name, which is Shift. Shift's powers have evolved beyond Rex's, as Shift can turn into any element at any time, not only elements that come from the body. For example, he turned into Root Beer in one of the issues.

Hope that helps.

Has Alfred ever died in continuity?
