Ah, you'll remember it right as you are about to log off. Then when you log on, some one already posted. I hate it when that happens.

6. is correct. But can you name the other characters?

2. has already been guessed right. It's the incredible hulk.

Sorry, 3G is not Swamp thing (It's a young student who was trapped in a nuclear reactor with a scientist and was afterwards given powers of atomic change, while the scientist is comatose.)

Correct on the lot. And yes Superman was created in the late 30's but the Superman I've read most about was in the 70's JLA.
