Comic School with Professor Mike – Session #3*

1. What are the names of the two women who share the identity of Black Canary? That would be Dinah Laurel Lance and Dinah Drake Lance
2. What was Supergirl’s first appearance? The Maid of Might made her first appearance in the pages of ACTION COMICS #252 (1959)
3. Around the time of Crisis On Infinite Earths, how many Luthors were there in the DC Universe? There were 4. Alexi Luthor from Earth 2, our very own Lex Luthor, Alexander Luthor, who was a hero on Earth 3, and his son, Alex Luthor, who would become one of the central characters in the series. Read more!
