I want No 5 to be Green Hornet only because the gemstone beryl is often associated with green but the letter count is wrong and I can't make the anger bit either. Obviously I am on completely the wrong track :-(

[TheWinner]

I'm on the same wavelength Prudie if it's any consolation.

[Hazlinny]

5. ?something to do with Squire. There is Square Shade(taking the ire out of Squire). A bit iffy!

[TheWinner]

just been down that route Hazlinny, but came up with nothing with the right letter count.

5. Wonder Woman, fits letter count..

[TheWinner]

Patsy33, Wonder Woman was the answer to number 4.

[Patsy33]

Yes, sorry. I just noticed it!
I think there's a Spider Woman, but can't make clue fit.
I want to say green Goblin, but letter count around wrong way..

[TheWinner]
