About This Quiz

When it comes to your favorite superheroes, you can probably rattle off their names quickly. Since the early 1930s, superheroes like Superman, Batman and Iron Man have come to life in comics, the radio and eventually on the silver screen and television. 

The famed Marvel Comics and DC Comics have morphed their comic book characters into movie superheros and villains that have filled our movie screens. However, there are plenty of superheroes to be found in other places!

Sometimes, all you have to do is turn on your television screen (or your computer.) What about those Renaissance named ninjas fighting crime in New York City? What about the fast crime scene investigator who lives in the fictional Central City? And who could forget about the brave teenager slaying vampires?

Superheroes are all the rage! Whether you're team Clark Kent or team Peter Parker, if you know your superheroes well enough, then this quiz should be a breeze! Just make sure you avoid any kryptonite while taking it. You don't want your superpower of deduction lowered for any reason!
