The "Q" on the Quizmaster's chest and the "A" on his cape were shining so brightly that the room was bathed in color. Just moments ago, he had stood up to the Riddler's onslaught of questions and demonstrated his prowess. The bar quiz patrons at The Brewyard Beer Company in Burbank were cheering wildly. 
 
Now The Quizmaster put his hands squarely on his hips, flexed his massive Quizmaster biceps and declared, "now I have a few questions for YOU!. What student tricked Professor Slughorn into revealing the secrets of the horcrux?"
 
"Uhm...Harry Potter?" Riddler answered weakly. 
 
"No Riddler. It was not Harry Potter! Anyone want to tell him the correct answer," he asked the assembled quizinators.
 
"TOM RIDDLE," shouted many voices. The Riddler staggered with the humiliation of not knowing his own name was part of the answer.
 
"And what was the name of the acclaimed bandleader and composer who famously arranged the orchestrations for many of Frank Sinatra's biggest hits such as I've Got You Under My Skin, I've Got the World on a String, and I Get a Kick Out of You?"
 
The Riddler glowered at The Quizmaster but offered no response. After what seemed like an eternity to the evil villain, The Quizmaster gestured to the crowd and said, "Tell 'im, friends."
 
"Nelson RIDDLE," the answer came out with a roar, the assembled quizinators now screaming with jubilation.
 
"You don't seem much about your riddle-lineage, do you? Well, let's try one more. In JRR Tolkien's classic novel The Hobbit, what is the name of the chapter in which Bilbo finds the Ring of Power?"
 
"I...I... I'm not sure," he stammered before offering a guess. "The Riddle Ring?"
 
Not waiting to be asked, many quizinators shouted back, "Riddles in The Dark!"
 
The Riddler fell to his knees in utter defeat. At just that moment, a beer-soaked bar towel came flying across the room and hit the Riddler in the face, dislodging what was suddenly revealed to be a mask. The Quizmaster quickly reached out and pulled on a loose flap of false skin, revealing the imposter hiding underneath.
 
"You're not the Riddler! You're Pete Davidson!"
 
The comedian leaped to his feet. "That's right! I'm Pete Davidson. The Riddler sent me to tell you he'd see you soon. And in the meantime,..." Davidson then stuck his thumbs in his ears, wiggled his fingers wildly and started blowing raspberries. Then he bolted for the exit and ran out into the night.
 
"Well, one thing we know for sure," The Quizinator said. "You don't want Pete Davidson on your quiz team!"
 
See ya next week.

The Quizmaster sensed trouble even before he saw it. But when he took in the garish clothes and maniacal, cackling laughter, he knew instantly that his arch nemesis The Riddler had come to stir up a kerfuffle.
 
"Oh Quizmaster, you pompous pretender! You think you know it all, but I'm here to show everyone that you know nothing!" The Riddler taunted. 
 
The Quizmaster did not respond, but stood silent and erect, the blue "Q" on his chest glowing faintly. He locked eyes with the Riddler and gave an almost imperceptible nod as if to say, "bring it!"
 
"Tell us, Quizmaster," the Riddler jeered with an ugly sneer, "Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on Earth?"
 
The Quizmaster smiled slightly, as the golden "A" on his cape flashed brightly. "Mount Everest, of course. Mount Everest was the highest mountain on Earth even before it was discovered."  
 
For a brief moment, a pained look flashed within the Riddler's bloodshot eyes. But without missing a beat, he came back with: "what 8-letter word can have a letter taken away and still be a word? And if you take another letter away, there is yet another word. And each time you drop another letter, you form new words, until you have just one letter left, which is also a word?" 
 
The "Q" on his leotard grew brighter and bluer, as the Quizmaster again locked eyes with the Riddler, who clearly anticipated an incorrect response. But he was about to be disappointed again.
 
"I'd be starting with 'starting,' said the Quizmaster, the yellow "A" now a bright, rich golden hue. "The string of words that follow are staring, string, sting, sing, sin, in and I."
 
"David's father has three sons," The Riddler snapped back, with just a hint of desperation. "Their names are Snap, Crackle, and WHAT!?" the Riddler demanded.
 
"David," replied the Quizmaster. "Obviously. And these aren't even riddles, really. Perhaps we should rename you The Piddler!"
 
"Name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday!"
 
The Quizmaster's "Q" and "A" now shown so brightly that the room was bathed in color. He put his hands squarely on his hips, flexed his massive Quizmaster biceps and declared, "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, you weak minded inquisitor! And now, you ridiculous Riddler. I have a few questions for YOU..."

QUIZ RECAP

A couple weeks ago we shared our belief that the cadre or superheroes would benefit greatly from an intellectual, non-violent champion who represents the triumph of brains over brawn.

And what would that superlative superhero be called? The Quizmaster of course!

A paragon of fairness, The Quizmaster will be the most trusted and admired of all the superheroes. The giant "Q" on his chest is augmented by an equally stylish "A" on his cape. And his quiz matches are the most popular pub quizzes of all.

In a clever crossover, his primary nemesis is The Riddler who is unable to stump The Quizmaster with any of his ridiculous riddles.

Next week, we'll describe a battle between The Quizmaster and The Riddler, which The Quizmaster will win quite easily. Why does he prevail? Because he THE QUIZMASTER, duh!!

See ya next week.
