Marvel's X-Men Trivia

Are you ready for some trivia, bub? With the new movie Dark Phoenix hitting theaters this weekend, it seemed a perfect time to have an episode dedicated to everyone's favorite mutants, the XMEN. Hey there, I'm your host, Brian Rollins, and this is the dorky, geeky, nerdy trivia podcast. Every episode we bring you a fresh batch of 30 trivia questions. We break it down into 3 rounds of 10 questions each. If you're looking for the rules, you can find some at dorkygeekynerdy.com/rules. You're also welcome to make some up on your own. We're not super picky. I'd like to take a moment and do a shout out to the podcast. Jay and Miles explain the X-Men. Their show served as a resource for several the questions we have here.
