Hints??
Q3. Id X
14. The original, X was formed from Aphrodite's girdle and
forced whomever was bound within it to obey the commands
of whomever held the other end.
It’s unbreakable, infinitely elastic.
X is the primary weapon employed by Y.
the lasso was forged by the god, Hephaestus from the
Golden Girdle of Gaea that was once worn by AntiOpe.
X is completely unbreakable, immutable, and indestructible.
It is able to restore people's lost memories, hypnotize
people, get rid of illusions, and people who are in its
circumference will be protected from brain control.
It is so strong that not even Hercules can break it.
Q4. Id X-Y
26. You might not know his name, but you definitely know his work.
If you’ve ever been a fan of Marvel’s amazing creations, including such seminal
superheroes as Spider-Man, Thor, the Fantastic Four, and the Avengers, you’ve seen
what he has to offer. So it is with sadness that we mark the passing of the amazing PR.
Confirmed by a cousin on Facebook, the artist was only 66 when he died.
He got his start with the comic imprint in the 1980s, working on two issues of The
Thing in ’85. After that, he was wrapped up in the adventures of everyone’s
favorite Web-Slinger, including Peter Parker’s marriage to Mary Jane.
He then worked on the New Universe and the Avengers, until 1991 when he jumped over
to Iron Man and the Fantastic Four (the video below shows the late great master
sketching Doctor Doom).
He would eventually leave Marvel for DC (working on Superman and the Flash) only to
return briefly for The Fantastic Five.
Since 2005, Ryan was in charge of inking the long time comic strip The Phantom. Known
for throwing himself head first into each character her drew, he was emotionally tied to
many of them, and his work on their look and presentation showed. It’s a shame that, with
the rise of the cinematic superhero genre, Ryan won’t be around anymore to see his
visions come to life. Still, he leaves behind a legacy that few in the medium can match.
Q8. Because I had to :-0
39. X is an American comic strip created by Jim
Davis. Published since 1978, it chronicles the life
of the title character, the X, Jon, his owner,
and Jon's dog, Odie. As of 2013, it was
syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and
journals, and held the Guinness World Record
for being the world's most widely syndicated
comic strip.[
Q12.
42. The word X has been adopted by fans of Japanese
media to describe works with sexual overtones. In
Japanese, the word X is often used to describe a
person's conduct, but in fandom, it has come to be
used to refer to softcore or playful sexuality, as
distinct from the word Y, which connotes perversion
or fetishism.
Works described as X do not show sexual
intercourse or genitalia, but sexual themes are
referenced. X themes are a type of fan service, and
can be found in most comedy shōnen and seinen
manga and harem anime.
Q13.
45. In 1988, a psychic explosion destroys Tokyo and initiates World
War III. A new city called A-Tokyo is eventually built in its place,
but by 2019, a year before the city is set to host the XXXII
Olympic Games, the dystopian metropolis is gripped by anti-
governmentterrorism and gang violence. One night, teen delinquent
Shōtarō Kaneda has his bōsōzoku gang, the Capsules, battle the
Clowns, their rivals. During the fighting, Kaneda's best friend,
Tetsuo Shima, crashes his motorcycle into Takashi, an esper with
psychic powers, who had fled from a secret government laboratory
with help from a covert revolutionary. Colonel Shikishima of
the Japan Self-Defense Force, assisted by Masaru, another esper,
orders Takashi escorted back to his home and Tetsuo hospitalized.
When Kaneda and his gang are interrogated, he encounters Kei, a
member of the revolutionaries, and arranges her release along with
the Capsules.
Q14. really?
48. X
His only supernatural power seems to be the ability to
communicate with most animals andbirds which he learned in
his childhood, while growing up in Jupiter circus, playing with
circus's pet animals.
Another supernatural power acquired by X is the ability to
breathe and talk inside water.
Although X does not possess any inherent superpowers, he
makes up for it with his detective skills, scientific knowledge
and acrobatics and martial art skills. X is known to possess a
high level intellect. His deductive reasoning and lateral
thinking combined with his presence of mind and scientific
knowledge is unparalled.
X is physically very strong. He received strength training
from Hercules, circus's strongman. He is expert in most
forms of martial arts and hand to hand combat techniques.
Q15.
55. C and H follows the humorous antics of C, a
precocious, mischievous, and adventurous six-year-
old boy, and H, his stuffed tiger.
The pair is named after John C, a 16th-century
French Reformation theologian, and Thomas H, a
17th-century English political philosopher.
Set in the contemporary, suburban United States,
the strip depicts C's frequent flights of fancy and
his friendship with H. It also examines C's
relationships with family and classmates, especially
the love/hate relationship between him and his
classmate, Susie Derkins ;-)
Audience Question 1.
57. A_B, as the title says, means "ideal boy". These
posters parody the art style and content of the
pictures in moral-science textbooks widely used
at the primary school level in India in the 90s
and early 2000s.
You probably know him, if you’ve seen the MELA
video.
Note: None of the QuizMasters/Mistresses…
Audience Question 2.
63. Fan Theory…
I'm pretty tired at the moment so please forgive me if this makes less sense than the
trilogy. Basically my theory is this: When A's Predecessor's made "the choice" from
the end of reloaded their code was recycled by into Z.
My support is this: We know from the architect that there have been 6 previous
versions of the one. We know that the only named computer construct that never once
mentions or acknologes As predecessors is Z. We know that at the begining of
Reloaded we only see 6 Zs before they start infecting. I believe that these are the 6
original ones before A, separated when A infects Z at the end of M. The only
characters to fly in M are A and Z. Z is the only computer construct to infect a human
in the real world indicating that there is a complete brain map of a computer program.
Every time A fights Z he discovers a new power as a result of interacting with his
predecessors (1. perfect bullet time, 2. flight, 3. emp power, etc). Z is able to
completely concoct plans independent of his programming (humans are a virus, escape
speech). The machines see Z as a threat even though, even when he goes rouge, their
goals are both "destroy all humans". So, I know not real coherent due to fatigue but
there it is.
A-Z what’s M?
69. After being shot by mobsters, her cousin B (H),
saved her, life by giving, her a last minute blood
transfusion of his own irradiated, blood. From
that point on Jennifer Walters was able to
transform into the, sensational S; a recurring
member of the Avengers.
Who am I, my dear…
75. It’s a teamA vs teamU round. As in, you have to
choose a team.
Then, we will have a bit of “Who am I” questions!
Sheets exchanged.
Scoring:
(correct_score(teamA)-correct_score(teamU))*10
Round 3: The Decisive End!!
