We've Got a White Christmas Winner!

Wow! Look what a little begging can do!  

After yesterday's plea for White Christmas contest entries, a veritable tidal wave of emails poured in throughout the day!  Thanks to everyone who took a shot at guessing the names, even if you only knew two or three of 'em.

But, like all contests, only one person can win...and the winner of my White Christmas DVD contest is Rick Phillips. Mr. Phillips guessed a very impressive 14 out of 18 characters, many of which were insanely obscure. Congratulations, Rick...your Christmas Story DVD is on its way to your mailbox!

So...who the heck were all of those white-themed comic book characters anyway?  Let's go down the list:

1. White Feather, member of DC's superhero parody The Inferior Five.

2. White Lightning, flirtatious foe of DC's boy-speedster Impulse.

3. White Martians, a warlike race of Martians opposed by the peaceful race of Green Martians, of whom J'onn J'onzz was the last survivor.

4. White Dwarf, a Teen Titans foe who had the powers of directed gravity, density, and the ability to absorb explosions.

5. White Tiger I (Hector Ayala), vigilante hero.

6. White Rabbit, a minor gadget-touting Spider-Man villain.

7. White Dragon, a white supremacist villain of Hawkman III.

8. Perry White, editor of The Daily Planet.

9. White Light, an Iceman enemy who possessed hypnotic powers.

10. White Tiger II, evolved from a white Bengal tigress into a woman by the High Evolutionary, this "were-tiger" later became a Heroes for Hire operative.

11. White Lotus, a martial artist with an ability to generate force fields, member of the short-lived team Supermen of America.

12. Whiteface, psychotic clown villain of the Squadron Supreme's Nighthawk.

13. White Rabbit, a Metropolis arms dealer and minor Superman villain.

14. White Tiger III (Kasper Cole), a police officer who gained powers similar to the Black Panther through the use of a synthetic drug.

15. White Witch, a 30th century sorceress and member of the Legion of Superheroes.

16. White Queen, the alias of mutant Emma Frost when she was a member of the villainous Hellfire Club.

17. Whiteout, a supervillain able to generate a selectively blinding flash of light and a member of the Savage Land Mutates.

18. White Tiger IV (Angela Del Toro), a niece of the first White Tiger who took up his heroic mantle.

And there you have it.  Hope you had fun, despite me raising the bar a little higher this time around. Stay tuned for more contests and games in the coming weeks and months!

I ALMOST responded right off the bat on the hope that my petty knowledge of six wouldn't run into any competition. But then I thought... nah, you always have contestants.

I should have listened to my instincts!!

I knew:
3. White Martians
5. White Tiger I
8. Perry White, editor of The Daily Planet.
14. White Tiger III
16. White Queen
18. White Tiger IV

Nine out of eighteen - 50%. Not too shameful. Bit of a cheat though having FOUR White Tigers!

I unfortunately had the same attitude as Z Ryan. "Surely someone out there would out-nerd me..."

As usual, love the site. Merry Christmas!

"Bit of a cheat though having FOUR White Tigers!"

A cheat or a clever curve ball? YOU be the judge!

" "Surely someone out there would out-nerd me..."

Sort of a variation of that old "no matter how big and tough you are, there's always someone bigger and tougher" sentiment. Yeah, there's always someone out there with more nerd prowess, but hey...you'll never know unless you enter these nerd-tastic contests of mine! In fact, the winner of the contest said he had a similar doubt when submitting his answers (that surely someone else would know more), but he won!

Let your geek flag fly!

Huh. Iceman has his own rogues' gallery? Or even his own rogue, singular?

Mark:
Just wanted to say that I got the DVD. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
