Daily Quiz anyone?

[easthammer]

"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

"I was more shocked at how Deadpool was portrayed in X Men. Far better with the two films, absolutely hillarious."

[Mad Dog]

"No worries. I'm just a proper nerd when it comes to comic book stuff. He was an avenger occasionally and in the film ""age of ultron"", but he's more known for x-men comics"

[zico]

"Ah apologies Mad Dog, must have missed that one., I was probably busy trying to double check that Magneto was correct as I was convinced it was just a dynamo."

[Mad Dog]

I'd like to also point out quicksilver is also an x-man too. He's thr mutant son of magneto and more known for that than avengers.
