Look Smart Trivia: Superman Family
3It’s taken a big supporting cast to keep the Man of Steel up, up in the air for the last eighty-plus years. We all know Lois and Jimmy and Perry - but if you’re the first player to name these lesser-known pals of the Last Son of Krypton, you’ll win a $5 Meh coupon. Not much, maybe, but it’s better than a chunk of kyrptonite. Insert sign-off catchphrase here!
Nobody could stop the march of @ImSorryButWho, who scored a $5 Meh coupon last Friday by naming all five of our March clues:
- The Long March of Mao Tse-Tung’s army
- The Adventures of Augie March by Saul Bellow
- “Waters of March” by Antonio Carlos Jobim
- The Ides of March
- March of Dimes

Great Caesar’s ghost! I’m guessing that’s Perry White in #1, and if that’s not “wheelchair Lois” in #2 and/or “Supercat”(?) in #3, then that’s all I’ve got.
Good luck!
I was hoping that more comic book geeks would show up.
Sign-off catchphrase offer:
“I’m here to fight for truth, justice, and trivia.”
“I’m here to fight for truth, justice, and mediocrity”?
Well, #3 is supergirl’s pet cat Streaky.
#2 is Lori Lemaris
that’s all I got off a brief internet search.
Come on @kdemo, want to solve this with me?
@sammydog01 - Yes I’d like to, but no time.
/giphy out of time
Without Googling:
I have good confidence in 2,3 and think #1 and #5 are reasonable guesses, but I don’t 't have a clue re: 4
@DrWorm Professor Pepperwinkle? Looks like he’s bald.
@sammydog01 Like I said, I don’t recognize #4 at all and I didn’t do any internet searches, but there was a Professor Periwinkle on the 50’s TV show I don’t even know if he was even in the comic, but if he was, I don’t recall what he looked like.
I give up. I think @JasonToon took a random photo from @Matthew’s comic book collection and slapped it in as #4.
Feeling very vulture-y:
@lehigh Crap, I looked up Professor Potter and got different photos. Thanks for solving that- now I can go cook dinner.
@sammydog01 Apparently a Superboy callback; modern Potter is bald on top
