Thank you but no. How you can compare that barely-animated mannequin to Thelma Todd, or to anyone with a modicum of talent, is beyond me. To each their own but I find Ms. Anderson about as sexually attractive as a garden hose.

Well, she pretty much is made out of the same stuff as a fire hose.

Actually, I screwed that up, I didn't mean Pam, I meant Loni, who played the role of Thelma Todd in a TV movie some years ago.

Loni Anderson, of WKRP fame, that is.

I had to google that movie, the name wouldn't come back to me.
It's called "White Hot: The Mysterious Murder of Thelma Todd". Odd how her death may be connected to Ted Healey's death.

I hadn't heard of that movie; I'll try to find it, sometime.

Side note: the night Bugsy Siegel was shot by the police, they found Chico Marx's check in his wallet. (According to Groucho, it's a good thing the police did shoot him; otherwise the next day the check would have bounced and Bugsy would have shot Chico.)

Still looking for the White Queen's Bishop. Get this right and you'll be treated like royalty on this thread, for at least the next 24 hours.

And when did Benny Siegel ever get shot by cops?

Maybe I was wrong about the "police" part; thinking about it, the story I heard was just "when Bugsy Siegel was shot, they found Chico Marx's check". I guess my brain filled in the police part, assuming them to be the antecedent of the pronoun "they". My mistake, huh?

Bugsy Siegel, the man who invented Las Vegas. And thus is responsible for the careers of Siegfried and Roy. He's got a lot to answer for.

And I have no idea whom the White Queen's Bishop was; but assuming you're dropping a subtle hint in the wording of your post, I'll say King Faraday.

The cops may have been a mistake, but King Faraday was in fact Amanda Waller's right hand man in Checkmate. Your thread, Custom.

--it was not real subtle, but thank you for saying so.

"King Faraday". Yeesh. And we get on Mike W. Barr's case. Who's his right-hand man, Duke O'Verle?

Anyway: On one episode of Challenge of the Superfriends, origin stories were given for two members of the Legion of Doom. One origin followed the comic-book story almost exactly; the other ignored it completely. Who were these two villains?

WAG:

Solomon Grundy, Giganta

One right, one wrong.

I remember Giganta stealing the Apache Chief's drugs to make herself tall, and that's not the same as the comics.
And I think they once showed Lex's, but I can't think of the details, but I'll stick with it.

Lex Luthor and Giganta are the answer.

JTR gets it right. Lex Luthor and Giganta were given origin stories in the same episode. Luthor's followed the comic book story (from Adventure Comics #271) almost exactly; Giganta's, not at all. (She couldn't even change size in the comic books, prior to this.)

All yours, JTR

Inyuk-chuk.

OK. Who was the character that appeared in several episodes of "The All-New Super Friends Hour", had a 7 issue series of their own at one time and originally, was adapted for use from a book published in the year 1904 ?

Sheena of the Jungle?
