ANSWERS: Mixed Doubles 5

It's been thirteen days since I've posted "Mixed Doubles 5", and since then, seven of you have successfully solved it, as you can see in the list below:
  • Pavel Curtis ****
  • Grant Fikes ****
  • Sam Levitin ****
  • Eric Maddy ****
  • Mom ****
  • Lynn Sweeney ****
  • Debbie Benford ****
Oh, and apparently, Feedspot really wants to be more well-known, so despite already adding this medal to the sidebar and last week's answer post, they've asked me to add it again, so here it is once more:

Puzzle Blogs

Now head below the break for the answers!


And here are all the correct number combinations:

ACROSS: 1/9, 2/15, 4/16, 5/11, 6/8, 7/19, 8/6, 9/1, 10/18, 11/5, 12/20, 13/17, 14/21, 15/2, 16/4, 17/13, 18/10, 19/7, 20/12, 21/14

DOWN: 1/12, 2/13, 3/16, 4/7, 5/18, 7/4, 8/17, 9/20, 10/11, 11/10, 12/1, 13/2, 14/19, 15/21, 16/3, 17/8, 18/5, 19/14, 20/9, 21/15

The two leftover clues are 3-Across and 6-Down, and the answer to those clues (which you can get by scrambling the letters in the pink squares) is WOLVERINE: this puzzle's FINAL ANSWER!


Patron Pavel Curtis said that "3-Across was literally the first clue I solved, and the I couldn't see any other Across clue that worked with it, but instead of realizing that that meant it was the final answer, I figured that there must be some *other* Canadian X-Man from more recent comic books.  Sigh... :-)"

Solver Mom normally needs to do a lot of research when doing my puzzles, but for this one, she successfully solved the puzzle without looking anything up! She even got a clue right by accident when she said "It figures!" after being stumped on another clue!
