Marvel trivia is a fun topic for fans everywhere, from friendly debates in local comic shops to one-upping your friends with obscure knowledge of characters and stories - and now, the Marvel trivia trend has made it all the way to Jeopardy with a whole category of Marvel Cinematic Universe trivia questions on the February 16 finale of the long-running game show's National College Championship.
Do you have what it takes to answer Jeopardy's MCU trivia questions? Here are the clues that were given:
- Groot's vocabulary in Guardians 2 is limited. This actor was given a script with translations, so his delivery could vary.
- Captain Marvel gets some of her powers due to the Tesseract. Others, she has from an infusion of this alien race's blood, thanks to Yon-Rogg.
- Ant-Man is warned about getting too small in this subatomic microverse. He gets stuck there after his retrieval crew 'Blips'.
- The ARC reactor in Tony Stark's chest had a core of this element, symbol Pd. Exposure to it would later poison him.
- This Black Panther actor wanted T'Challa's accent to be authentically African, so he spoke in a dialect based on South African Xhosa.
Most MCU fans worth their salt shouldn't have much trouble answering those questions - Vin Diesel, Kree, Quantum Realm, Palladium, and the late Chadwick Boseman, of course - and the contestants on the episode of Jeopardy didn't either, as the entire category was finished out with correct answers.
