BLASTERMIND Forgotten Heroes - now with answers

There’s a slight twist with the weekly quiz this week. It might be more fun to get the questions wrong…

Yes, whereas we’re always warning people off posting answers in the comments section at the bottom of the page, this week use it to your heart’s content to suggest what you think the superheroes may be called – funny, bizarre or downright weird. Please keep attempts at genuine answers in this thread on the SFX forum. Be warned: they’re very particular about their whited out text over there, but follow that rule, and they’re a friendly bunch.
