About This Quiz

Superheroes have fascinated comic book lovers and film buffs for decades, and this fascination is not about to stop. Not only do we get to see awesome villains take on the most outlandish goals, but we also get to see superhumans defeat those villains. The bigger the villain, the better. And the bigger the hero, even better than that! We are fascinated by these characters because they are superhuman, yet they still make mistakes. Additionally, they learn and grow and apply their knowledge ... and they even struggle sometimes. Many of these characters are flawed in ways that remind us that no one is perfect, but how we react can be perfect.

Though DC and Marvel comics seem to have the market on superheroes, we still see some independent companies pop up every once in a while, and you're going to see some of them in this quiz. If you're a fan of superheroes and superhero movies, this quiz is going to give you the opportunity to boast of your super knowledge. We're going to give you three hints, let's see if you can guess who we're talking about ... just remember, not every superhero has a name that ends in "-man," but they're all bigger than a bread box (except AntMan, of course).
