Well....that didn't take long! We've already got a winner for my St. Patrick's green-themed contest...and his name is PAT! How perfect is that?
Pat Curley, proprietor of the excellent Silver Age Comics blog (and, I think, several of his minions) guessed every single character in the Green Gallery. Congratulations, Pat...you and your pals will have to divide up that free month of Netflix rentals! So...wondering who all of those green-themed characters are? Here we go:
1. Green Lantern-Hal Jordan (DC)
2. Savage Dragon (Image)
3. J'onn J'onzz, Manhunter from Mars (DC)
4. Green Fury (later Fire) (DC)
5. Brainiac (DC)
6. Green Hornet (radio, Harvey Comics, etc.)
7. Emerald Empress (DC)
8. Abomination (Marvel)
9. Green Mask (Fox)
10. Jezebel Jade (Hanna-Barbera, Comico)
11. Man-Thing (Marvel)
12. Green Lantern-Alan Scott (DC)
13. Green Goblin (Marvel)
14. Professor Radium (DC)
15. Hulk (Marvel)
16. Jade (DC)
17. The Green Ghost (Nedor, ABC)
18. Swamp Thing (DC)
19. Green Arrow (DC)
20. Green Giant (Pelican)
21. The Harpy (Marvel)
22. Green Lama (Prize)
23. Brainiac 5 (DC)
24. Green Turtle (Rural Home)
25. Kryptonite Kid (DC)
26. She-Hulk (Marvel)
27. The Leader (Marvel)
Professor Radium! Man, that one was really nagging at me. I need to bone up on my one-shot Golden Age baddies.

Thanks, I did have some help from the guys in the chatroom, which is definitely the way to go with these quizzes; sometimes stuff is obvious to others that isn't to me, especially with that 20-year gap (1977-1997) in my comics knowledge.

Professor Radium looks like a sibling of Reducto.

For me it's a slightly shorter gap -- in fact the '70s and '80s were my prime comic-reading years -- but almost anything that happened in comics between 1990 and 2002 is a complete mystery to me.
