Powers: The Quiz possessed every super-power you haven't thought of yet. As an opponent thinks of and names her powers aloud, she loses those powers. The Quiz is deathly afraid of dirt, so she wears a hermetically sealed suit to protect her from germs and grime.

History: (Doom Patrol II #26) - The Quiz gained her powers from the gene bomb released during Invasion! Driven mad by her powers she attacked Sunburst II. He ended the fight by breaking her arms and legs. The Quiz was later escaped police custody thanks to the Brotherhood of Dada. Mr. Nobody won her trust by giving her a filtered gown and gas mask to protect her from nasty germs, and she joined the group.

(Doom Patrol II #27) - Quiz and the Brotherhood traveled to the French Alps to steal the Hungry Painting from Horst Eismann. They then set up the painting under the Eiffel Tower, allowing the painting to absorb all of Paris (including the Brotherhood) into its' confines.

(Doom Patrol II #28) - The Brotherhood and the Doom Patrol clashed within the painting. The Quiz was paired off against Rebis, and easily defeated him/her.

(Doom Patrol II #29) - The Brotherhood accidentally awoke Extinction, the Fifth Horseman, who had been trapped in the painting when it was created. They reluctantly asked the Doom Patrol to help destroy it. Through their combined efforts they beat Extinction just as the painting started disintegrating. The painting vomited up Paris, and the Doom Patrol escaped, but the Brotherhood were trapped. Everyone except Mr. Nobody was perfectly happy with their new life inside the painting.

Comments: Created by Grant Morrison and Richard Case

The Quiz received a profile in Who’s Who in the DC Universe #1 under the Brotherhood of Dada entry.

The Painting That Ate Paris was (mostly) destroyed in Doom Patrol II #50. Presumably the Quiz and her fellow villains perished along with the painting.

Quiz had a flashback cameo in Doom Patrol V #6, 7 and Teen Titans III #32.
