His Royal Highness: Geo-Force Trivia Quiz

Answer: Brion Markov

Markov is the ruler of Markovia, a Baltic nation. Traditionally ruled by the Markov family, a socialist revolution took place (not unlike Russia), and Brion Markov escaped.

Answer: Helga Jace

Doctor Jace invented a device which gave Markov his superpowers. The powers, given to him to stop a violent insurrection, include gyrokinesis, geokinesis, flight, super-strength, enhanced endurance and durability, and energy blasts Markov calls "lava-blasts".

Answer: Baron Bedlam

The Baron Frederick DeLamb has a long history of clashing with Markovia. His father was the Nazi-installed ruler of the country during World War II. He tried to take the country over yet again, but was stopped by Geo-Force and the Outsiders.

Answer: True

Tara is the daughter of the King of Markovia and an American woman, making her Geo-Force's half-sister. Terra was working as a spy for Deathstroke the Terminator, although Geo-Force wasn't aware of that fact. The Titans chose not to tell Geo-Force of Terra's treachery, but Batman told him at a later date.

Answer: It reminds him how special his powers are.

When Markov learned that his half-sister Tara was a spy and had died dishonorably, he sank into a deep depression. He no longer felt suitable to wear his brown costume, as it was similar to Tara's. His teammates on the Outsiders gave him a new green and gold costume, which has become his regular uniform. Green and gold are not only the colors on Markovia's flag, the green represents the Earth, from which he derives his power, and gold reminds Markov that his gifts are truly special.

Answer: Roderick

Roderick was an evil vampire who had his very own vampire army. As most villains do, he attempted to conquer Markovia, but was stopped by Geo-Force and the Outsiders, who were also victims of Roderick's propaganda campaign. They then proceeded to clear their names.

Answer: Denise Howard

When Geo-Force ascends the throne of Markovia, Denise becomes his queen. His brother, sister-in-law, and father murdered, Geo-Force serves as Markovia's regent until his nephew comes of age.

Answer: True

Geo-Force is strongest when solidly on firm ground. When wounded, the Earth heals Geo-Force, as it is the source of his power. Another character with a peculiar dependency is Jack Hawksmoor, who must not be out of the city for too long. Otherwise, he will perish.

Answer: "By my crown!"

As he is the ruling king of Markovia, Markov often shouts "By my crown!" in either outrage or surprise. Another character with a peculiar utterance is the Beast, of X-Men fame, who says "Oh my stars and garters!".

Answer: False

Geo-Force is willing to kill villains, and has in fact done so. Both Baron Bedlam and Roderick met their ends at the hands of Geo-Force, although Bedlam was cloned and returned to menace Geo-Force several times.
