Oh, and if I'm not completely on the wrong track here (secret entrance doormats, anyone?), the answer is presentation.

E: Before being given the mantel of 'Crossbones' by the Red Skull, what are two other names the villain has gone by?

Originally Posted by Serra Britt

His given name was Brock Rumlow, and it was the Nazi Red Skull who ended up naming him Crossbones.

E: Which (if any) sidekick(s) is Batman related to by blood?

Huntress: Helena Wayne, an alternate universe daughter of Bruce Wayne and Catwoman Selina Kyle. She has been Robin to alternate universe Bruce Wayne before coming to original earth.

In Earth Two, Helena Wayne is Huntress, the daughter of Batman and Catwoman and is Robin post Flashpoint on her earth.

In New and Prime Earth, Damian Wayne, son of Batman and Talia Al Ghul is the latest Robin.

I: Not counting the solely self-proclaimed (not ratified by a member of Bat Inc.) or those that didn't 'graduate' in the We Are Robin story arc, how many Robins are there in the DC universe?

Originally Posted by Death by Mirrors

Ugh, let me see how many I can remember... Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Carrie Kelley, Stephanie Brown, Damian Wayne and Helena Wayne. I think Bruce Wayne himself once, but that's probably not what you're looking for. So I'll vote seven, even though I'm fairly certain I forgot at least one. That's your chance to step forward and fill in the blanks, guys!

O: Name five superheros who would die as a direct consequence of losing their superhuman abilities.

Next question.... Good one.
Well, Deadpool would have died without his. But then again he's an anti-hero....
Ok, you have me on this one, lol.

I know a few who could die but not would die. Hrm...
Iron Man
Cyborg

Eh... let's go with Spiderman because had that spider not been a mutation, he probably would have died.

I can't think of anyone else. >->
3 guesses ok? X]

Daredevil - Hard to call this a certainty, but if he suddenly lost his ability to "see", I'm sure he would die quickly.

Aquaman - But only if he was underwater at the time he lost them.

Flash - In the middle of running and his power stops, that would probably result in several broken bones leading to death.

The Thing - If the rocky skin didn't immediately go away with the rest of his powers, he'd be crushed.

Except for Wolverine, these are all pretty conditional deaths though >_>

U: In the Marvel universe, the function of SHIELD is fairly well-known; what's the purpose of its counterpart, SWORD?

S.W.O.R.D. is run by Abigail Brand and has a space station for it's base of operations, known at the Peak.

It was also in a video game. In 2009, a game showed it as an alternate universe version of S.H.I.E.L.D. and was evil instead of good.
