1. This West Indian cricketing legend X was known as the "Black Bradman", although his loyalists largely felt that Bradman be called the "White X". His grandson Dean has represented England in international cricket. Identify X

2.X's life is dreary and unfulfilling until he encounters a Mayan Y. Y brings out the most powerful, and the most dangerous aspects of X's personality. He sheds all personal social inhibitions. X is imbued with physical imperviousness and reality-bending power. However Y also dominates X's psyche and his acts are grotesque and sadistic. Infact anyone utilizing the Y's powers becomes a cruel anti-hero with ultra violent tendencies, even though not their intention.(Fictitious) X's escapades and his struggles with Y are documented in "The Y" series ,published by Dark Horse comics and created by John Arcudi and Doug Mahnke. The concluding issue of this hugely popular series was published in 2000 by DC comics, in which The Joker from the Batman series comes in contact with the Y,and the stage is set for a gory finish. We have all been exposed to toned-down adaptations of Y's exploits atleast at some point in our lives. Identify X and Y. (Long question, but a sitter.)
