Marvel and D.C. first released the comic adaptation of 'The Wizard Of Oz' in August, 1975. 'Superman Vs. Spider-Man', released a year later, was the first joint venture featuring Marvel and D.C. characters.
2. Which of the following was NOT a Marvel-D.C. crossover issue?

Answer: Punisher vs. Wolverine

Both Punisher and Wolverine are Marvel characters.
3. In 1996, Marvel and D.C. presented a four-issue series pitting their heroes against each other for the survival of one world or the other. How were the Marvel and D.C. universes represented?

Answer: Two giant sentient beings

The nameless beings are described as brothers who simply forgot the other existed. Once they discovered each other, they decided to see who the superior entity is by picking champions to face an opponent from the other side. The losing entity will cease to exist.
4. The first issue of 'the Showdown of the Century' has Spider-Man's 'spider-sense' alerting him to a glowing refrigerator box in an alley. A stray light ray from the box sends him to face what D.C. entity?

6. What character in the D.C. Universe was first to notice the change in the cosmic balance?

Answer: The Spectre

In the Marvel Universe, the Living Tribunal also noticed the changes.
7. Which of the superheroes faced each other first?

Answer: Thor vs. Captain Marvel

Thor was able to take advantage of the 'Big Red Cheese' changing back to Billy Batson where he was quickly defeated. Other first round action had Flash making quick work (no pun intended) over the mutant Quicksilver and Namor the Submariner losing to Aquaman.
8. Robin developed a romantic relationship with his Marvel opponent. Who was it?

Answer: Jubilee

Despite Jubilee's mutant ability and experience with the X-Men, she was no match for the fighting skill Robin learned from Batman. The fight ended without a punch being thrown, much to the relief of both.
9. Wonder Woman discovered this object during her match against the X-Man Storm:

Answer: Thor's hammer

Wonder Woman picked up Mjolnir and briefly gained Thor's powers. However, believing the advantage would not be fair against Storm's ability to control weather, Wonder Woman dropped the hammer and fought with her own powers. The fight was brief and, unfortunately, in Storm's favor.
10. Prior to Superman and the Hulk doing battle, they jointly defeated the supervillain Metallo and were then sent where?

Answer: The Grand Canyon

A slugfest to be sure, but Superman came out the eventual winner.
11. A quick recap of some of the other battles...who won between Superboy and Spider-Man?

Answer: Spider-Man

Spider-Man combined a ruptured water tower, an electric generator and a new webbing innovation, 'impact webbing', to send Superboy to accidently electrocute himself.
12. Wolverine vs. Lobo?

Answer: Wolverine

Despite both posessing healing powers, Logan was able to use his adamantium claws to beat the Main Man in a brutal barfight.
13. Green Lantern vs. the Silver Surfer?

Answer: Silver Surfer

Unfortunately, this Lantern was newcomer Kyle Rayner, not the more experienced Hal Jordan facing the former Herald of Galactus. One huge outerspace explosion and the Surfer won.
14. Catwoman vs. Elektra?

Answer: Elektra

In this battle of anti-heroes, Selina Kyle held her own, but an acrobatic burglar was no match for an Ninja assasin trained by the Hand.
15. Back at the glowing refrigerator box, a drifter named Axel Asher stumbled onto the scene and discovered he was actually a combined shard from both universes. What was his new name?

Answer: Access

Access has the power to create dimensional gateways to maintain the balance between the universes. He calls himself, a 'kind of cosmic hall monitor'.
16. With the destruction of an entire universe imminent, oblivion was averted by...:

Answer: Combining them

The universes were fused together in a last-ditch effort by the Spectre and the Living Tribunal.
17. In the new Amalgam Universe, the enigmatic Logan stalks the street of Gotham City as the crimefighter called:

Dark Claw is the fusion of Wolverine and Batman. Aided by his sidekick Sparrow (Robin and Jubilee), Logan's main opponents included Hyena (Joker and Sabertooth) and Lady Talia (Talia and Lady Deathstrike).
18. After his parents were assasinated by hired killers of Hydra, who took over as head of the espionage group S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Answer: Bruce Wayne

Overseen by his predecessor Nick Fury, Wayne, along with Dick Grayson as Moonwing (Nightwing and Moon Knight), Barbara Gordon and Sgt. Joe Rock battle the forces of the Green Skull (Lex Luthor and the Red Skull) and his daughter, Madame Hydra (Catwoman and Viper).
19. Princess Ororo of Themyscira, a mutant who can control the weather, was a foundling rescued from a shipwreck by a civilization ran by women. Ororo became their champion, known as:

Answer: Amazon

A combination of Wonder Woman and Storm, Ororo is the adopted half sister of Diana Prince, ex-wife of Trevor Castle (Steve Trevor and Frank Castle), a.k.a. Amalgam's Punisher. Their efforts to find their missing son, Ryan, is chronicled in 'Bullets and Bracelets'.
20. Mild-mannered Clark Kent, declared 4-F for military service, was transformed by an infusion of alien DNA with an experimental serum to become the greatest fighting machine in World War Two...and today:

Answer: Super Soldier

In the closing days of the War, Super Soldier's fight with Ultra-Metallo (Ultron and Metallo) left him in suspended animation. Now, revived and disguised as a mild-mannered reporter, Kent continues his war against the Green Skull.
21. This mysterious sorcerer supreme and mutant telepath is the self-appointed protector of the Amalgam Universe:

Answer: Doctor Strangefate

A combination of Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate and Professor X, Charles Xavier made use of his telepathy to supercede the former Lord Supreme, the Ancent Nabu, as the Amalgam Sorcerer Supreme.
22. What was the name of the 'derelict' Axel replaced as guardian of the Universes?

Answer: Morty

Picked a fine time to 'wink out', too...when the balance of the Amalgam Universe was unravelling.
23. In an effort to restore the D.C. and Marvel worlds to their proper alignment, Axel hid crystal shards of each universe in what two people?

Answer: Batman and Captain America

Access was able to hide them shortly before the universes fused. This discovery infuriated the universal beings, who began fighting each other. Fortunately, it was the brothers' new insight into the lives of Bruce Wayne and Steve Rogers left behind in the shards that led the beings to understand that their creations have surpassed the creators and the fighting ended.

The universes were saved.
24. In the limited 1997 Marvel-D.C. series, what Amalgam character begins an attempt to restore the Amalgam Universe.

Answer: Dr. Strangefate

You ask 'How could it be done if he didn't exist anymore?' It could only take someone with cosmic powers. In the 'All Access' series, a glimpse of Strangefate survived in the mind of Marvel's Dr. Strange, subconsciously using the sorcerer to shift people back and forth until the right time to merge.
25. To preserve the cosmic balance, the new Amalgan Universe was destroyed by the combined forces of the Marvel and D.C. universes:

Answer: FALSE

Dr. Strange allowed the creation of a semblance of Amalgam in a cosmic vessel and gave it to Access to carry within him, making Access now guardian of three universes.
