I name two comic book characters. You then have to connect the two using only shared appearances in comic books (official appearances in comics only - no cameos like Terry Austin sneaking Popeye into the background of a panel and no outside comic book appearances, like cartoons and the like). You have to do so using less than six comics total. Covers and pin-ups do not count - only actual appearances in the same comic book story (so it doesn't count if they each appeared in separate stories inside the same anthology).

Every week, whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of turns gets to pick the next week's match- (in the event of a tie, the winner is chosen randomly). Last week was Mystery Men to Mystery Men. Michael Grabois was one of two folks who connected the two in five turns.

Michael went with:

The Mystery Men met the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Flaming Carrot #25

The Turtles met Gen13 in Gen13 #13B

Gen13 met Spider-Man in their mini-series

Spider-Man met Baron Zemo in Untold Tales of Spider-Man #13

Baron Zemo met Marvel's Mystery Men in Mystery Men #5

Michael's challenge is...

Omaha the Cat Dancer to Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Remember, whoever connects the two characters in the least amount of comics gets to pick the connection for next time around (I'll pick a random winner in the event of a tie)!

Remember, only authorized appearances in comic books count (for instance, Wolverine in Gen13 #13 does not count)!
