Ro_gan: He first appeared in Omega Men (#3 I think).

Well Nuklon/Atom Smasher's Mom died on that plane crash caused by Kobra. As to who gained a parent, I guess Hank Hall gained Dove as a parent, kinda', but that's all weird. And he gained Carter who's now back as his father as Carter was reborn on Thanagar.

So here's my question:

Post Crisis, who was the thug that Batman was fighting to gain his large penny in the batcave?

Hint: It's not Harvey.

Just for the record, he died in Swamp Thing #50 during the ultimate battle with the Great Darkness (Around 1986 or so). Dr. Fate killed him (in a pretty #### cool Dr. Fate moment as well - Man I miss Moore's Swamp Thing).

My bad. D'oh!

It was actually a trick question. Atom Smasher's mom died from the plane crash caused by Kobra, but then he later got his mom back when he mucked with the space/time continuum after the Hawk (whatever his cosmic name is) Cosmic Adventure a few issues later.

But you answered the question so you were right.

Abnegazar, Ghast, and Rath. the red jar of Calythos, the green bell of Uthool, and the silver wheel of Nyorlath, for the full answer to my earlier question.

The 1st appearance of Lobo was Omega Men #3 and his race was Czarnians, Planet Czarnia.

This is just to sum up a few of the loose ends.

So the current question is the one about the giant penny. Any takers?

HINT: It took place in an issue of Batman Chronicles.

Anyone who guessed Lobo's original race name was Czarnians was WRONG!!!!

The question asked for his original's race name. Yes Giffen created Lobo and appeared first in Omega Men #3

The name of his race was changed by Alan Grant in the first Lobo mini-series.

We're stalled on the Penny question.

Why did the Zamorans choose Carol Ferris to be Star Sapphire?

because she was close to hal jordon? that's just a shot in the dark.

because she was pretier than the original star saphire (brave and the bold right?)

Batman gained his giant penny from Joe Coyne, "The Penny Robber" way back in Detective Comics 235 (pre-Crisis continuity, of course).

Shiffy0295 MIGHT be right, sort of. Ferris was chosen because the Zamarons always picked a mortal woman of "a certain physical appearance" to be their queen. Those nutty Zamarons!

Actually, the only Zamoran who was not immortal was the queen so when she died the new queen needed to be her exact duplicate in apperance.

sp does that mean im right?
