Bryant. It also saw a rare Y Marvel Comics credit (outside of his early
Marvel UK work).

including Stan Lee and John Buscema; Stephen King and Berni Wrightson;
X and Richard Corben; Harlan Ellison, Frank Miller, and Bill Sienkiewicz; Mike
Baron and Steve Rude, Howard Chaykin inked by Walt Simonson; and
John Byrne and Terry Austin re-uniting on the X-Men.

the past, joined the team shortly thereafter.

relatively short, usually using charades for anything longer than three
or four words.
X is also extremely ticklish and this is seen in many of the television
shows and movies.
32. Q15
A long standing rumour about William Moulton Marston is that he was
the inventor of the polygraph test, which (purportedly) detects
whether people are lying.
Marston WAS, however, an early innovator in the field of lie detection,
and his contributions to the polygraph test should not be overlooked.
In 1921, Martson published his doctoral thesis for Harvard University. The
title was “Systolic blood pressure symptoms of deception and
constituent mental states.” That was Marston‟s innovation – the idea
that, by testing a subject‟s systolic blood pressure, one would be able
to determine whether the subject was lying, was the basis of the
polygraph machine.
William Moulton Marston is however, remembered for creating the
comic book character X.
33. A15
X is Wonder Woman. Her Golden Lasso of Truth which forces anyone to
speak the truth is partly inspired by the polygraph
