The Forgotten Heroes were a group of "forgotten" and second-string heroes who banded together to fight crime. It was with this group that Animal Man was seen in "Crisis on Infinite Earths".

6. In the pages of his own comic book, Animal Man met this comic book writer/artist.

Answer: Grant Morrison

Grant Morrison's run on "Animal Man" was notable for breaking the fourth wall and for testing the restraints between the comic world and the real world. Ultimately, Animal Man is told that he is not real.

7. When he was first introduced, who did Animal Man say gave him his powers?

Answer: An extraterrestrial spaceship

Animal Man gained his powers when he was in close proximity to an exploding alien spaceship. As a result, he can borrow a trait from any animal provided that they are close enough.

Answer: Devilance the Pursuer

Devilance is one of Darkseid's underlings, but had not been seen for quite some time before his appearance in "52". He carries an energy lance to pursue and capture his enemies.

9. When Buddy is home looking for his space suit, Maxine gives him a peanut-butter and banana sandwich.

Answer: True

Animal Man has a space suit given to him by Adam Strange, but his wife Ellen threw it out because it was lacking rocket fuel.

10. Animal Man is a vegetarian.

Answer: True

Morrison fleshed Animal Man out as an animal rights activist and a vegetarian. Later on, he stopped wearing leather for the same reasons.
