Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In what Marvel Comics title did the Silver Surfer first start soaring the skies?

Answer: Fantastic Four

Norrin Radd, the surfboard riding herald of Galactus, made his first appearance in "Fantastic Four #48". One can buy quite a few surfboards for what a mint copy of this issue would cost.
2. Hawkeye, who has been a staple of Avengers membership first made an appearance as a villain in what Marvel Comics title?

Answer: Tales of Suspense

Hawkeye first came to prominence as a misunderstood Iron Man villain in "Tales of Suspense #57". He joined the Avengers in "Avengers #16", but it oddly took over four years to come up with his real name, Clint Barton.
3. Wilson Fisk is known as the Kingpin of Crime. He began a long love-hate relationship with Daredevil in "Daredevil #169". In what Marvel Comic title did he first appear?

Answer: The Amazing Spider-Man

The Kingpin's first appearance was in "Amazing Spider-Man #50", in a comic titled, "Spider-man No More!". Its famous cover, by John Romita, Sr., of Peter Parker turning away from his costume, which he just threw in the trash, has been a source of multiple homage covers since.
4. Wolverine joined the X-men in "Giant-Size X-men #1", along with Storm, Colossus, Thunderbird, Banshee and Nightcrawler. His debut occurred in what non-mutant comics title before this?

Answer: The Incredible Hulk

Wolverine and Banshee were the only two new members of the X-men in this sought after issue to have appeared previously. Colossus was designed with the thought that he might be the most popular member of the group, but the fondness of artist John Byrne for Wolverine made him the runaway favorite among fans of the new X-men members. Before all this, Wolverine appeared in "Incredible Hulk #180" as a cameo and in full glory in #181.

He was much shorter than Hugh Jackman.
5. Which of these did NOT appear in any comic previously before being given his own Marvel Comics title?

Answer: Daredevil

Spider-man first appeared in "Amazing Fantasy #15", Iron Man in "Tales of Suspense #39" and the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider in "Marvel Spotlight #5". Daredevil first saw light in "Daredevil #1".
6. Abner Jenkins, who later became a member of the reformed villains group the Thunderbolts as Mach One, first put out his villainous feelers as the Beetle, fighting what Marvel Comics hero?

Answer: The Human Torch

The Beetle's debut was in "Strange Tales #123", in a story in which the Human Torch and the Thing started appearing together every month thereafter, before being given the heave-ho for "Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." in "Strange Tales #135".
7. Blade the Vampire Slayer was just a twinkling in Wesley Snipe's eye when he made his first comics appearance in what Marvel Comics title?

Answer: Tomb of Dracula

"Tomb of Dracula #10" was where Blade first put down his stake. He was designed as a character who was immune to vampire bites, his mother having been bitten by one of the undead during her pregnancy with him, apparently conveying immunity to him.
8. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby first drew and wrote themselves into a story in "Fantastic Four #11". Which member of the Fantastic Four was celebrating his or her birthday in that issue?

Answer: The Invisible Girl

Lee and Kirby worked on 108 consecutive issues of "the Fantastic Four" together, including Annuals, a record that to this date has not been matched. They were not above inserting themselves into the story for comedic effect on rare occasions, although creating the Fantastic Four was not enough to get them into Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Girl's wedding in "Fantastic Four Annual #3"!
9. Which of the following Marvel Comics mutants did not make their first appearance in a comic whose main protagonists were mutants?

Answer: Madrox the Multiple Man

Jamie Madrox first appeared in "Giant-Size Fantastic Four #4", before making multiple appearances elsewere, including expanding the membership of the team X-Factor. The Scarlet Witch appeared magically first in "X-men #4", Dazzler lit up "Uncanny X-men #130" and Jubilee exploded into "Uncanny X-men #244".
10. Which lesser known Marvel comics hero did NOT make his or her first appearance in an issue of the title "Marvel Premiere"?

Answer: Spider-Woman

Spider-woman crawled onto the scene in "Marvel Spotlight #32". Iron Fist debuted in "Marvel Premiere #15", Woodgod in "Marvel Premiere #31", and the 3-D Man in "Marvel Premiere #35".
