Finally had time to look at this again after work.
I believe the answer is twothreefiveseven.
You get this by using the writing on the side of Professor Marvel's wagon and counting the number of letters down through the lines.
Example: 933332=two as t is the 93rd letter starting from the top left, w is the 33rd letter, o is the 32rd letter

Congratulations gonealone! You have solved the BLACK NUMBERS!
They are actually a KEY for the HILL CIPHER which is used to produce the two questions that you need to answer. However, after designing the hunt, I found that the dcode site can brute force the Hill Cipher solution without the code numbers. So they weren't absolutely necessary.
The orange numbers near the Marvel Gaze decode to the word KEY, which was a hint that these numbers would be a key to a cipher. Other on-line cipher solvers did require their use.
This was the last puzzle!
Congratulations to everyone who won a prize!
And thank you to those who continued to play along even after the grand prize was won!
