  11. C. Carmine Infantino – Artist Carmine Infantino co-created the Silver Age Flash, Barry Allen, with writer Robert Kanigher in Showcase #4 (1956). This issue is often said to have started the Silver Age of comics. Infantino later became DC's publisher.

  19. A. A yellow sun – Superman gets his powers from the radiation of Earth's yellow sun, which his Kryptonian cells absorb. Under a red sun, like Krypton's, he loses his powers. This is why villains sometimes use red sun radiation against him.
