Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of the villain who liked to be beat up, that annoyed heroes?

Answer: Captain Carnage

Dan and Laurie talk about Captain Carnage in the first issue, how he got his kicks being beaten up by heroes. Laurie fell for his act, while Dan ignored him, but later Captain Carnage was dropped down an elevator shaft when he attempted to take on Rorschach.

2. Who is considered the first masked adventurer in the 'Watchmen' universe?

Answer: Hooded Justice

Hooded Justice; Hollis Mason's book 'Under the Hood,' states that Hooded Justice was the first to appear wearing a costume and fighting crime. He later went missing rather than reveal his true name to the public during the McCarthy trials and was never heard from again. Hollis speculates that he was a wrestler named Rolf Muller.

In letters it also reveals that Hooded Justice and Captain Metropolis were lovers and that Sally Jupiter helped them hide the fact by pretending to date Hooded Justice.

3. Who are the two detectives investigating Blake's murder?

Answer: Steve Fine and Joe Bourquin

Detective Steve Fine gets suspended, even after capturing Rorschach, when he lets the Nite Owl escape after busting Rorschach out of prison. His partner who helped him with the Blake murder is Joe Bourquin.

4. Who does Dan have an autographed picture of?

Answer: The Twilight Lady

Laurie finds a picture of The Twilight Lady, an old villain of Dan's, signed "From One 'Night Bird' to Another."

5. What is the name of the lackey who works for 'The New Frontiersman?'

Answer: Seymour

Poor Seymour is always being yelled at by his boss for his incompetence.

6. Which character was supposedly decapitated in a car crash?

Answer: Captain Metropolis

Captain Metropolis is mentioned by Rorschach as having been decapitated in a car crash in 1974. Another interesting theory by James Gifford states that two characters seen in Issue #1, page 25, panel 4, two older homosexual men in the foreground, are actually Hooded Justice and Captain Metropolis, alive and well, and that Captain Metropolis must have faked his death to be with his long time lover. I have to admit I like the theory and that the two characters do resemble older versions of the two men.

7. Who is Ursula Zandt?

Answer: The Silhouette

Ursula was forced to retire from being the Silhouette when the Minutemen discovered she was a lesbian. She and her lover were murdered weeks after by a minor adversary.

8. Who is Josephine?

Answer: A cab driver

Josephine, or Joey, drives a cab for Promethean Cab Company and is having trouble with her girlfriend Aline.

9. Which one of these characters is NOT killed in the attack at the end?

Answer: Hector Godfrey

hector Godfrey is the editor of the "New Frontiersman" and lives to keep writing for his magazine. Dr. Malcolm Long and his wife Gloria, Joey and Aline, Benard the newsvendor, Bernie the comic book reading kid, Detectives Steve Find and his partner Joe Bourquin, and the brothers who run the Promethean Cab Company and the Gordian Knot Lock Company, are all killed when an alien creature teleports into New York.

10. What new names do Dan and Laurie use when they go into hiding?

Answer: Sam and Sandra Hollis

Dan and Laurie visit Laurie's mother at the end to let her know they are all right, and now go by Sam and Sandra Hollis and sport blond hair. Dan is wanted by the police for helping Rorschach bust out of prison.
