  1. Though an acceptable alternative answer for all 35 is probably “Deadpool.”

  3. 7 – Technically, the wizard Shazam said it first…
    8 – Specifically, the Abin Sur and Hal Jordan-era Green Lanterns – not Alan Scott.
    10 – What, no answer in the key? Do the faceless minions get the credit?
    11, 12, 14, 15, 22 – Again, which one?
    28 – As the TV tagline, this is most properly attributed to David Bruce Banner. Remember, they changed his name for that incarnation.

  4. 1. The Artist Who Was Then Formerly Known As Prince.

    2. Ozzy Osbourne.

    3. Michael Stipe, slightly misquoted.

  5. I too want to know about #10 — or are we counting them all, throughout all comics, movies, TV, cartoons?

    Rev. Bob is correct about #28.

    Extra points to Doug, Rev. Bob, and extra internets to James and Doug.
