Three of a Kind

[Hoy Murphy]

I was looking through some old comics when I thought of a new game. I call it Three of a Kind. Here's my first entry.

Is it my memory playing tricks, or did DC establish that Balloon Buster Steve Savage was a descendant of Trail Boss Matt Savage?  That was in the period when they appeared to be working on the assumption that no two people ever shared a surname unless they were related.  I don't think they ever added Vandal Savage to that family tree, though.

Anyway, here's another three of a kind based on a shared name.

I didn't catch it right away. The shared name is Hawkeye.

[Peter Wrexham]

Correct! Natty Bumppo, aka Pathfinder, aka Deerslayer, aka Hawkeye; Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce; and Clinton Francis "Clint" Barton, aka Hawkeye.

Scalphunter was actually Matt Savage's son Brian.

More "savages"

[Jeff of Earth-J]

Let us not forget Ka-Zar the Savage and Shanna the Savage.

For a third (and a fourth), has anyone posted Vandal Savage?

[Hoy Murphy]

Here's one I'm glad didn't happen.

When the Surfer next appeared (in Fantastic Four #155), that abandoned direction was acknowledged but written off with a line of dialogue.
