ah, someone else will have to bring this baby home then

my continuity knowledge of the last 15 years is spotty at best

Demacus

Ncann got it.  They were the ruling house in the House of M storyline (though Scarlet Witch was without her powers during the duration of the story arc.  She was simply Magneto's homosapien daughter, while Polaris and Quicksilver were both homosuperior siblings.)

here's one that shouldn't prove too difficult:
Gambit, Maverick, Parasite, Strong Guy (R)

CORRECT!!

Quote* KINETIC DETONATION (EJ) <IQ> {U}
        Acts as a level 2 Energy attack. If successful, acts as a level 8
            Fighting Power card.
     * KINETIC ABSORPTION (LO) <XM> {C}
        Avoid 1 attack made with a Power card. Maverick may draw 1 card from
            the top of the Draw Pile. Discard duplicates.
     * KINETIC ABSORPTION (AH) <BS> {U}
        No Fighting Power cards may be played against Parasite for remainder of
            battle.
     * KINETIC ABSORPTION (CN) <PS> {U}
        No Strength cards may be played against Strong Guy for remainder of
            battle.

i guess i'll give the answer to this one

robin
black cat
nightwing
bullseye

hint: similar theme to one used earlier
hint 2: non-continuity or overpower related
hint 3: are all men created equal?

they were all (co)created by marv wolfman.  for robin, it was tim drake, and for nightwing, the nightwing persona

Demacus

That one was rough. lol

I concur. I have read a ton of robin, nightwing and a lot of black cat and I spent a long time trying to think up this one! I always tend to flow back towards the authors as opposed to who created them. tough challenge - but good...
