    Default Can You Name Who's Who?

    Has anyone ever been annoyed by big splash pages in crossovers, with tons of characters, where one is often left wondering who's who?
    I thought it might be neat to have a place where people can post these, and see if anyone else can help them out.

    A good place to start is Crisis, of course, which I started re-reading recently due to the miniseries. This page from issue #5 certainly is what I'm talking about.

    It might help to break it into parts. Here's the bottom left.

    Bottom left.jpg

    The folks in red scuba gear are the sea devils.

    1. Biff Bailey
    2. Dane Dorrance
    3. Judy Walton
    4. Nicky Walton

    Also pictured, sort of going from the bottom up, and including those whose heads you can see, are...

    5. Catwoman
    6. Power Girl
    7. Doctor Fate
    8. Plasmus
    9. Hawkman
    10. Hawkgirl
    11.Commander Steel
    12. Sun Boy
    13. Dream Girl
    14. Element Lad
    15. Blok
    16. B'Wana Beast
    17. Star-Spangled Kid
    18. Cyborg
    19. Beast Boy
    20. Platinum
    21. Luthor (Earth-Two)
    22. The Riddler
    23. Firebrand (Dannette Reilly)
    24. Ragman
    25. Wonder Girl
    26. Creeper
    27. Chlorophyll Kid
    28. Ultra Boy

    I really don't know who he guy i blue on the lefthand side.

    Then there's this top left part...

    Top Left.jpg

    Deathstroke (foot only)
    The Atom (Earth-Two
    Star Sapphire
    Jonni Thunder
    Green Lantern (John Stewart)

    Gold? (behind Colossal Boy)
    Kamandi
    Nuklon

    The blue guy behind Nuklon
    The guy between Arion and Solomon Grundy (top right hand corner)
    The ghost guy between them

    I can clearly see four Challengers of the Unknown. If the person next to the Blackhawk is a Challenger of the Unknown, that means the person below them is probably not. I know there was a fifth Challenger named Corinne, so maybe that's her.

    So, that leaves...

    1) Person next to Challengers, next to Alex Luthor's butt)

    And then, for the lower-right-side...

    2) Behind Brainiac 5
    3) White hair below Amazing Man
    4) Person next to her
    5) Between Pariah's legs

    And two guys it appears can't be idenitified...
    1) person in blue next to the cowboy Johnny Thunder (Vandal Savage is the only person left on the guide, but this would not appear to be him)
    2) Behind blue Devil (the guide says there's no one there)

    2) Jericho from New Teen Titans
    3) White Witch from Legion of Super-Heroes (notice the antenna)
    4) Shadow Lass from the same team
    5) I think that might be Firehair (old Western character from Showcase tryouts) being that he appears a couple pages later
