Test Your Geekdom, Vol IV:

Name That Toon

A description follows of a character from a cartoon, comic book, anime, etc… name the character and cartoon.

1: The constant difficulty with a hooligan hare interfering with my use of my Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator makes me very, very angry indeed

Nope
2: I used to fly around space fighting super villains with the aid of my two teen sidekicks and monkey, but eventually I ended up getting a gig as a talk show host seen coast to coast.

Space Ghost in Space Ghost Coast to Coast
3: When my former crime fighting colleagues found out about my plans and showed up to stop me before I could implement my harsh but necessary scheme, I regretfully had to inform them they were 35 minutes late.

Adrian Veidt Watchmen
4: While some people might describe me as coldly manipulative, a megalomaniac, and a mass murderer… though it might be Noted, never under their real name… I saw myself mostly as a crime fighter. Indeed, I even worked on the investigation team trying to track down the most wanted and murderous person of my time, and eventually ended up heading the team after the lead investigator died. To most people I was simply a very smart and talented young man, though I suppose if anyone came across my personal journal they might be a touch unnerved about its similarity to an obituary column.

Light in Death \note
5: Although I started off as a 90-pound weakling, I’m pretty well known for my enhanced physique, though better known for dressing like its July 4th every day. I originally got my start fighting Nazis, but afterwards I chilled out for a while then came back with a vengeance to fight alongside the planet’s mightiest heroes.

Captain America in Captain America and associated comics under the Marvel imprint
6: As a boy I traveled the world on various quests with my dad, a noted scientist, and our bodyguard, along with my best friend and dog.

Nope
7: After getting fed up with my boss and his crusty manner, I framed him for armed robbery of a convenience store, but was foiled by a bratty kid who became my arch-nemesis. In spite of my felonious past, I am very well known for my courteous and sophisticated manner.

Sideshow Bob, the Simpsons
8: Sometime about 10,000 years from now I wander the post-apocalyptic Earth on my cybernetic horse hunting down various monsters, while bringing whole new meaning to the term ‘talk to the hand’.

No chance
9: Probably best known for getting bugs in my eye, most of my early appearances feature an utter lack of dialogue or speaking, just me running around as a Stripperific spy and assassin, combating my morally ambiguous nemesis and lover, a totalitarian dictator.

Nope
10: “United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru, Republic Dominican, Cuba, Carribean, Greenland, El Salvador too. Puerto Rico, Columbia, Venezuela, Honduras, Guyana, and still, Guatemala, Bolivia, then Argentina and Ecuador, Chile, Brazil.”

Yakko of the Family Warner, the Animaniacs
20 possible points, 2 for each question (character and series) and...

I take issue with three of those. - 15/03/2012 04:29:39 PM 561 Views
Well the definitions aren't that ambigous - 15/03/2012 06:11:03 PM 635 Views
These seem to be getting increasingly obscure... I suppose that makes sense in a way. - 13/03/2012 08:49:04 PM 525 Views
Mostly a byproduct of why this quiz appears so soon after the last - 13/03/2012 08:58:43 PM 574 Views
On this one more than all the rest, nationality will tell, I guess. - 13/03/2012 09:03:12 PM 519 Views
That's probably a bit unavoidable - 13/03/2012 09:24:39 PM 586 Views
I totally remembered his name until you asked the question. - 13/03/2012 11:14:19 PM 694 Views
I only knew 1, 3, 5, and 10. - 13/03/2012 09:20:56 PM 581 Views
1, 3, 5, 7 for me - 13/03/2012 09:34:55 PM 686 Views
16; not bad for a non-comic geek, IMHO. - 13/03/2012 10:58:48 PM 753 Views
A lot are eponymous - 14/03/2012 12:31:17 AM 574 Views

Nostalgic parody, perhaps? - 14/03/2012 10:51:14 AM 647 Views
That's probably as good as any other - 14/03/2012 12:32:16 PM 530 Views
