AVENGERS INFINITY WAR is fast approaching, the AVENGERS trivia challenge has ended but mindless speculation about all things MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE is just beginning. And what better way to talk about Earth's Mightiest Heroes then determine which of them would be the best at King Trivia?

You've got T'Challa, the Black Panther. He's already King of Wakanda - does he have room for another crown?

Tony Stark aka Iron Man aka the smartest man in the room aka according to himself - if he could design a full suit of armor while trapped in an underground prison, who's to say he wouldn't be able to pull out a devastating Double or Nothing in Round 7?

Captain America, Steve Rogers, a guy who was buried in ice for years is going to know a lot about history - this guy could be a ringer. Throw in Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, and you'll add Geography, Government, and Foreign Country knowledge to your list. Pop Culture? Probably not.

Spider-Man - this is your Pop Culture guy right here even though he might refer to The Empire Strikes Back as a really "old movie" you know this kid will be able to rattle off Beyonce albums and Cardi B songs.

The Vision - dude is like a walking talking Siri. Yes, please.

The Hulk - no. Can you imagine what would happen if you unsuccessfully double? Or if he can't name one of the Gilmore Girls in the picture round? This could spell trouble for you, every surrounding team, and the neighborhood at large.

Black Widow - while I wouldn't fully endorse the use of a spy on your team... I mean, she would probably be really good at either interrogating other players to give up their answers or just straight up copying their answers. Or seducing the quizmaster. On second thought, I full endorse this idea.

There were vampires at Barney's tonight.

Before you take out those wooden stakes and call up your favorite redheaded lesbian witch, hear me out.

At around 12:30 AM, three individuals entered the doors of the Beanery. Flanked on either side by two long haired twins was a woman who appeared to be both living and dead. Porcelain skin, dark eyes, a hint of foreign upbringing. Their clothes were reminiscent of the attire you'd find at a goth club in Hollywood that was having an Anne Rice tribute night. A more luxurious Hot Topic appeal. 

They were stopped at the door by the bouncer. After 9pm every night, guests need to show their ID to enter the bar. The three of them looked perplexed and informed the bartender that they had no ID. Only a centuries old vampire wouldn't have ID on them in Los Angeles.

The bartender turned them away, suggesting another bar a few blocks down that might not be as strict with their policies. Still looking confused, the vampires gazed dreamily at his neck for a few long moments before finally exiting into the cool Burbank night and disappearing into the dark.

I urge all of my trivia players to stock up on their garlic, crucifixes and sharp objects this week.
