Riddle Me This ...

Who's the only DCU character who lives on Earth-Prime?

  1. Only one? Someone's mentioned Julie, but there's also Cary Bates, Elliott S! Maggin....oh, and Superboy, of course...

  2. You're asking this because Julie is the mysterious mover of the Infinite Crisis, isn't he? He'll pop up halfway through the miniseries and make comics goofy and fun qand original again.

    Ambush Bug, too.

  3. I thought the whole point about Earth-Prime was that Superboy would be the only superhero there. Unless you count Clark Kent in Superman: Secret Identity.

  4. You did say "character" and not "hero", and once they appear in a DC Comic they become a DCU character, so the list would include:

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt
    John F. Kennedy
    Ronald Reagan
    Peter Lorre
    Bob Rozakis
    All the aforementioned creators like Julius Schwartz, Cary Bates and Elliot S! Maggin

  5. Hm. All those characters-- at least the living ones --do satisfy the requirements.

    But I'm looking for a STARRING character, not a guest-star.

  6. Jerry Lewis?

  7. Bingo!

    My theory is ...

    HE'S behind the Infinite Crisis.

    "He wants his world back...!"

  8. I defnitely don't want to live in Jerry Lewis' world. I'd rather take my chances in the bleak current DC universe.

  9. I don't think the Jerry Lewis who appeared in his own title is the Earth Prime Jerry Lewis. Apart from anything else he once guest starred Wonder Woman.

  10. Bob Hope had his own DC comic too, ya know.

  11. "HE'S behind the Infinite Crisis."

    Nah, he'd be behind "Crisis of Infinite Telethons"

    Indeed! But Bob's not currently living on Earth-Prime, or, for that matter, at all.

  13. I guess they couldn't keep Hope alive.

    And, by the way, Elvira starred in her own DC comic, too.

  14. Oh, she's UNdead!!!!

    They should have put Hope in Crisis.

  15. They should have put Hope in Crisis.

    Or better yet, Super-Hip!

  16. Yeah, that big inspirational speech to all the assembled superheroes in the satellite before they go out to save the universe? They totally should have brought Hope in to entertain the troops.

  17. "So, how about that Anti-Monitor? What a kisser. That guy's so ugly he makes Phyllis Diller look like Starfire!"

  18. "Hey, I think I see Dr. Occult out there in the audience! Glass of warm milk, Table 2! How many guys do you know who can call the Golden-Age Superman a youngster? I mean, seriously, this guy is so old, his Social Security number is 4!"
