Super Trivia Brain Bash 1: Golden Age DC Hero Edition

[@jimgillespie6109]

I like this and appreciate how informative these question are. Never knew Jerry and Joe were cousins before! Just the right level of difficulty. Also, you kept it short, and that's a definite plus for me.

[@dalehoustman4737]

Although I do not consider myself an expert on Golden Age comics (or on anything to be honest) I have read a lot of them and quite a bit on them. The reason I enjoyed this quiz is because I only got one right! Most internet quizzes are really just click bait and pretend that you're a genius if you know who Fess Parker was. This one actually taught (or reminded me of) things. The only caveat is that I wished it went on longer. But aside from that - do it again! There are so many interesting questions one could do about the original Sandman, Human Torch, (yes) Wonderman, and on more obscure characters. Look forward to feeling like a dummy again...

[@Leadeshipcoach]

Yeah… this was both fun and informative!

[@AWW8472]

Great idea! Real fun!

[@blackphoenix77]

I hope you do more of these; this was fun! Maybe multiple rounds with a final bonus one at the end.

[@more17]

This was fun, definitely do more! !I'm still kicking myself for getting 4 wrong. Also re DC and Victor Fox, the Golden Age Blue Beetle and Sparky cameoed in a recent DC comic, though it was a tie-in to the CW Stargirl/Arrowverse stuff instead of a "real" in-continuity story. It was pretty cool and I was honestly blown away.

[@GleeChan]

I'm Solomon Grundy lvl... BUT at least I got one right (The Justice Society question). This was fun. I hope everyone else agrees.

[@jamessimms3449]

This was fun. I'm four. Id love to see a Wonderman video.

[@MrTimelord77]

This was really fun. The problem is that not everyone knows a lot about the golden age and only found lead in the process.

[@alexarias8721]

True that most don't know a lot about the Golden Age but this is a fun way for them to learn! Also, most of us learned about this stuff as we grew up in the comic community from our shops, fellow fans and books like Wizard.

[@jimhamilton_westernswing]

This was a great idea, my son and I really enjoyed playing along over our dinner. Cheers, man!

[@Dariushellstrome]

Although I was according to the score born on a Monday, really enjoyed this and thought it was fun and informative

[@empyreanvole]

I Clayfaced it. And I am TOTALLY into Golden Age. Great show.

[@KickItStinky]

Keep up the Trivia videos. Fun and informative (as are all your videos).

[@Leadeshipcoach]

Love this format!! Phenomenal!! More,more!!😊👍… and great questions!!

[@greghill00]

Even though I am Soloman Grundy, I like this style! Please do more, mixed in with your usual documentaries.

[@showboat1]

Keep it coming. Love trivia and you learn things you did not know.

[@rhensl1451]

I LOVE this format! Trivia games are my bread and butter so combining the two formats make me incredibly happy and entertained. Plus I learned something as well. (Also side note: I would love a Wonderman video!)

[@badplay156]

I loved it despite doing miserably. As a note of interest, Joe Schuster was the nephew of Frank Schuster of the Canadian comic duo of Wayne and Schuster, one of Ed Sullivan's favourite comic acts

[@allanc5323]

Score 3. Educational quiz. Keep uploading such great content of comics history.

[@tonycaponeycomics1997]

Really fun and interesting video! I look forward to more of these!

[@Sp33gan]

A trivia quiz with questions that actually make you think! Holy surprises, Batman! I managed Vandal Savage but messed up on the relationship between Joe and Jerry. A fun quiz!

[@awesomeatronik]

Interestingly in Canada we had propaganda in the 90s that taught people that Jerry and Joe were cousins, and that they created superman in Toronto, and metropolis is based on Toronto, and the daily planet was based on the Toronto Star building (which looks exactly like the daily planet with out the giant globe). They would run commercials and had commemorative stamps and everything.

[@FizzFop1]

I found those commercials on KZbin a while back and I thought then I might make a video about them...when I thought up the trivia idea those were the first questions I thought of.

[@awesomeatronik]

@@FizzFop1 more than commercials, we had a presentation in school as a part of a centennial celebration year.

[@scottfarmer32]

This was fun. I only got two right but I learned something's that I didn't know. I'd like to see you keep doing these.

[@MrLeoni2]

I've ended in the Joker level. Questions one and five both came as complete surprises to me, especially no. 1.

[@comicfan72]

This has been very enjoyable, I'm definitely looking forward to more Super Trivia Brain Bash!

[@nighttigercomics7323]

A great idea. Your format is perfect. The banter in-between timers and buzzers makes it more entertaining. The question difficulty is also perfect. I only missed the first question. My only complaint is it's too short. Track down a Sheena 3-D #1 by Blackthorne. Jerry Iger talks about her creation and the collaboration with Will Eisner of the character. It's really fascinating and is great material for a video.

[@DavidTSmith-jn5bs]

Vandal Savage level (missed question #5). That was fun! Yes I'd like to do this again at a later date. Perhaps you can combine the Trivia Challenge with a summary of the character like you started to do with the Wonderman/Fox Publishing scandal. Will Eisner started illustrating it in his "The Dreamer" graphic novel but I want to hear more about it.

[@kaljaxa5365]

I love golden age supers and consider myself fairly knowledgeable about the time. I even run several tabletop rpgs about them on a virtual platform. I was surprised to only get 3 of these correct. Well done! I like that it was both entertaining and informative. Keep them coming!

[@yellowmartian]

I'm a joker. Got #3 and #5 wrong 😢. I loved this video, it's so fun. Great idea! Keep them coming.

[@davewright6368]

Love it! Looking forward to the next one.

[@VorpalDerringer]

Very fun! I've watched a bunch of your videos, but I still missed a couple. I didn't know about Wonder Man's case, I had heard of Captain Marvel, though. Do this again, thank you!

[@jackmast5435]

This video was a lot of fun! I'd love for you to keep doing it

[@superby1]

This was amazing! And I learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know. I’d love to see more of this

[@markfields7999]

Captain marvel

[@alexarias8721]

This is my 3rd video and it's what made me start subscribing to you. This was a fun game, got 3 right and should have gone with my gut for the Bob Kane question. Difficulty was just right!

[@stevesunn2564]

Fun video! Looking forward to more

[@maxpocalypse]

Love this! A very fun idea! Keep it going!

[@shidiwen9329]

I’d love to see more of these!

[@JoeMidnightSpookShow]

That was great fun! I failed miserably, so your questions were tight! You have a great voice for your programs, too, don’t stop! One suggestion (you asked us!) maybe swap out the buzzer sound for the game show bell sound? You can use the buzzer for the last question/end of game. Just an idea!

[@mikekutz5776]

Everyone ls trivia. Goldenage trivia is good stuff. Keep it up.

[@johnriddlebaugh7436]

I'm at the Clayface level. I did get two of the Superman questions right--the one I didn't get right was the relationship of the creators.

[@christopherulichney]

This. was fun. Even though I only got 2 right I liked this. It was different yet still informative. I love learning things about comics that I didn't know I didn't know. I would suggest that you expand the amount of questions to 10, if you do this again. The questions were just the right level of difficulty for me, there just needed to be more of them. And I would love to see that Wonderman video, and the Fox one too.

[@Michael_R1957]

I like this format. Got 4 out of 5. Some sandman questions would be great.

[@Rangersly]

Loved this! I was embarrassedly wrong more times than I was right, but that's fine. It means I learned a thing or two while having fun! I hope you do this again on a regular basis.

[@markfields7999]

This is awesome

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

Love it! Tough-ass questions! 👍

[@talmiz101]

this is fun! and it gives you a chance to go in to historical facts in a fun manner, more of it please good sir! :)

[@joebertflores5420]

More this please. I enjoyed and learned from it! Thanks!

[@SaintNicholasOfficial]

Love this idea really made me rethink what I thought I knew! Please do it again this is really cool!

[@deanmccaskill5495]

A lot of fun. I was pretty cocky with the Captain Marvel question. ( Which I got wrong) And the rest were all great questions I didn’t know the answer to. Let’s try again!

[@johnquiett1085]

This was a good one. I would like more. Maybe even longer, like 10 questions if you can swing it. If your topic is smaller though a shorter quiz is fine. I didn't get any answers right, but I still enjoyed it.

[@BookTiger]

Good work 👍😁 looking forward for more!

[@datamag2018]

Gosh darn it!!! Solomon Grundy it is.... LOL!! As much as I am into Golden Age heroes and have devoured most of your back catalog of videos, I missed most of these, ha! I was close on most of them though. I fell for the Captain Marvel bait, I thought Hawkman was the chairman, I didn't know about the Superman gents being cousins, etc. etc. I did know about Cleveland though (since I was born there and still live in the area I should have, lol!) I liked this , a nice change of pace!

[@FizzFop1]

Hey Datalynx Magnus! I'm from Northeast Ohio too. I grew up near Kent. Lived in Lakewood for a bit. I now live in Columbus. I thought that Captain Marvel question was a great bait question. I wanted this to be a little hard...but I'm surprised at the number of people who have told me they hit the Solomon Grundy level.

[@datamag2018]

@@FizzFop1 WOW really?? So I live in Stow, went to Kent for college, grew up in Elyria, born in Cleveland! Small, Small world eh? And FYI I don't think the questions were too hard, they can't be too easy, otherwise there's no challenge. Keep em coming my guy!

[@ComicExcitement]

😃 Engaging and Informative!👍

[@Cervando]

Definitely fun! Please do more as clearly I need educating.

[@williammansfield9711]

Only got 1, oh boy. Like it, great questions.

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

I got a Grundy, but I actually like it. Do more please.

[@jamesnelson1169]

That was fun plus learned alot definitely do this again.

[@jwrush]

I love this format.

[@xaayer]

I'm the Jokah, baby! I did better than I expected lol This was pretty fun!

[@masterpainter72]

You should do this with the Marvel heroes...!

[@jameslazaridis4180]

Wow that a lots of interesting information

[@MaximumRD]

Really enjoyed this, I consider myself well versed on the subject but still got a couple incorrect! Definitely would like more.

[@Quasi_Terrible]

I went 5 for 5 but I barely knew the 4 of them and the last one was a blind guess. Cool video thanks!

[@SecretShopKeep]

Liked it. Difficulty was about right. I want to be challenged so hard is ok.

[@truckrobo147]

Goodness gracious fizfop you got a creative idea here

[@winstonblakely3846]

This was a lot of fun and some of the questions I thought they were common knowledge to most comic book fans for example the infringement of Superman and Captain Marvel I didn’t know there was a case before that. Also who knew that the creators of Superman were cousins that’s very interesting. Plus I never knew that Bob Kane swiped that cover idea from Alex Raymond I bet there was other artists that he swiped from as well. So the original Superman stories took place in Cleveland? I personally thought that metropolis was another version of California. I say this because Gotham city seemed like New York City and sometimes it is referred to as Gotham. Sure I think you should do this trivia type of stuff every now and then this is the first one and it was pretty cool but back to work on that video on Golden age wonder man. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thank you for the great fun

[@KasumiKenshirou]

Yes, Kane swiped from other artists, too.

[@FizzFop1]

Kane swiped from all the artists I mentioned as possible answers.

[@paulwoida8249]

Metropolis is a small town in southern Illinois. Falling out of the Daily Planet windows was no big deal since it is a one story building. It would be a fun trivia fact to work as a question especially when Metropolis was founded and when they officially became Superman 's hometown. Also, is there a real Smallville and Gotham City?

[@elizabethmolino8262]

@Jeff Jacobson, But ain't Stan Lee was known for that as well too.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

@@elizabethmolino8262 No, "swiped" in this context is one artist tracing over the work of another and claiming it as their own.

[@cha5]

I got a 3 out of 5, I grew up with a lot of Golden Age reprints and a fair bit of it’s history, so I knew about Siegel & Shuster, The Wonderman lawsuit and Cleveland being the original Superman city, although the skyscrapers that feature in Action Comics #1 were also inspired by the NYC skyline IMHO. I remembered Flash as being a leading figure of the JSA in All Star Comics but had no idea he was the chairman. I had no idea about the Alex Raymond swipe by Bob Kane from Detective Comics #27, although there were several Hal Foster swipes in the earliest Detective Comics that can be spotted if you look for them. Anyways a fun bit of trivia. 🙂

[@FizzFop1]

The swipe question was a bit of a trick question...Kane swiped from all of those artists, but the cover was strictly Alex Raymond. Fans and Historians are constantly looking over Kane's work and discovering new swipes.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

Definitely keep these coming, FF. It was challenging, interesting and a lot of fun. And that’s coming from old Solomon Grundy here. 🤯 I loved it and can only encourage you to toss these onto your great channel as mood permits. Here’s one for you, oh wise one: What did Pa Kent call his tractor?

[@FizzFop1]

That's a great question Professor Echo...I'm have to look that one up myself.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

You better not,FF, or you might hit the rabbit hole. I was just goofing and the punch line was intended to be that Pa Kent called his tractor his “tractor.” I’m a riot, aren’t I? 🤨

[@timmarshall2062]

i only knew two fun trivial i really hope you do a show about 1939 wonder comics that has me excited thanks buddy ill be tuning in

[@alanrogers7090]

I got four out of five. Yes, I think this is a good idea.

[@shaunjamesbryan2032]

I thought I knew my golden age really well, which is why I always enjoy your vids. Turns out I'm Grundy. Great fun though, but it's a quiz that you either know the answer straight away or you don't, so I'd cut the allotted time down to 10 secs. And yeah, a couple of easy ones for us born-on-a-monday! love all you do though man, keep it up!

[@FizzFop1]

I think you're right about changing the time length Shaun. A lot of people have commented that it went too fast. I think I might make it 10 questions next time and through in some easy ones. I didn't know so many people were going to hit the Grundy level.

[@Skravage2]

It was fun, but I only got 1/5, the question about wonderman before captain marvel. I guess that’s why I watch your videos, to learn more about the golden age and beyond.

[@FizzFop1]

I admit that was a bait question. The Captain Marvel lawsuit is well publicized while the Wonderman situation is not.

[@awesomeatronik]

Awesome fun game!

[@nezumi6554]

This was a ton of fun! My answers were: 1. C 2. C 3. D 4. B 5. A I guess the Joker isn't too bad

[@TheJacksonRoykirk]

Great idea! Love it, even if I'm Solomon Grundy!

[@mosj9876]

i failed all of them .....but i learned something new. trivia is always good, it helps me remember a little more.

[@elizabethmolino8262]

Sadly I'm on the Solomon Grundy level.But this was fun Darrin.I thought I would gotten the DC lawsuit question right,but it wasn't to be.But make this a regular thing.

[@juanmarte3298]

IT IS GOOD TO KNOW. I THINK IS FUN .✌

[@gilrivera1813]

Great video Darrin, Joker level for me. It was fun one suggestion: show the timer countdown in screen. Can't wait for your next upload. 👍 👍

[@FizzFop1]

A timer? How did I not think of that????? Thanks Gil!!!

[@jeffdallen6445]

Loved it!

[@DocGriffon]

Funn idea! Keep it going!

[@cheaptoons]

I got 2 out of five ..WHAT THE HECK ...I had no idea that Joe Shuster and Jerry Seagle were cousins, no wonder why they are very close and the I just minerly changed my answer on the original setting on Superman's original location ... but at least i'm learning something new from this trivia ...I got the last question right.. I knew Bob Kane wasn't that good, but people do borrow or do whatever in their art work and Batman would never be where it is I suppose and now we are loving it.

[@nameandaddresswithheld1890]

These were good questions.

[@arminceljaj5916]

Love it very much fun

[@williamdawson9338]

I got 4/5. It's a fun concept

[@mikemahaffey9121]

I liked it. It got my brain doing sit ups.

[@grindsetman488]

This was great man I didn’t know superman was set in Cleveland first

[@FizzFop1]

I read a couple of articles that had conflicting information...one said there was Cleveland references until Action Comics 8 and the other article said there was Cleveland references up to Action Comics 11. The story goes is that Siegel and Shuster took it to the three Cleveland Newspapers to sell it as a daily strip and were rejected.

[@FragItAll]

Great idea. Keep it up. I only got 2 this time. It was a long day😂

[@helious5056]

I hope you do more of these cuz this was a lot of fun As a person who prides himself on being an amateur and self-taught comic historian I love a good challenge I got three right and the ones I got wrong were what was Superman's first city which I guessed was Toronto since I knew Joe Schuster was Canadian and I got the final question wrong cuz I mixed up what Bob kane swipe was the one in question Anyways, great job and again I I hope you continue doing these and maybe even spread outside the Golden age, maybe do some on the Platinum age or later comic book ages

[@FizzFop1]

Hi Helious 505! Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked this. I really wanted to make something challenging for the hardcore golden age fans.

[@otaconpunished]

Easy questions first, harder or trick questions later. That copyright question should have been last(I guessed Marvel). I liked this.

[@FizzFop1]

The Captain Marvel question was a trick one...The story of their lawsuit is well known. It appears from comments that a lot of people don't know the story of Wonderman...I think I might have to move him up the to do list.

[@karterwolfe4585]

Great fun (Joker level, btw)

[@andrewhoffman8427]

I missed the last one- The correct answer was one the 2 I’d narrowed it down to, but alas, I chose wrong. At least Vandal Savage is way cooler than Lex Luther, so I can live with it.

[@michaeldiaz9999]

Clayface level and I only guessed on one of them. Dammit!

[@JUSLOFI]

Wow. This was not easy. I got all of them wrong! I love it !

[@FizzFop1]

All wrong! I made this way too hard.

[@vonVile]

More, please!

[@jwrush]

This is exactly the right difficulty I think.

[@JohnnyElRed]

This was very fun. The questions were very hard. I only got one right. But honestly, I like it that way. Edit: If you do another one of those, you should make it questions about Pulp magazines characters. I definetly know a little bit more about those than about Golden Age superhero comics.

[@FizzFop1]

It appears that people enjoy this format. The negative comments are few compared to the positive ones. I think a pulp quiz is in the future.

[@darkwolfshadowv1]

This was a lot of fun. But Solomon Grundy bombed this one. Please do it again.

[@daviderwin4705]

Glad I saw this, since apparently, I only have until Sunday to live. But me always be back...

[@FizzFop1]

Only have Sunday to live? I need to get another video out fast.

[@clivearno8522]

it was informative, but would rather have had more historical coverage, your videos of comic history are great!
