  - See my response below, I think there is one possible explanation, but it makes for a murky situation. -- nm - ty97 Apr 25, 08:06 5
    - I see it and I ... just can't get to that point. The candidates are the ones who are going to be asked. They have to have a pat answer. - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:07 4

  - doubt it, GOTG was hardly a household name, Aquaman is a well known commodity - groiny Apr 25, 07:36 10
    - Aquaman is somehow the joke of the comics world and this is a conversation including a raccoon with a machine gun. - Will Hunting Apr 25, 07:39 9

        yeah, I get that IM, but there is always a shot to bring legimatacy to that character. - groiny Apr 25, 07:47
