Fictional Characters by Letter - S

Love that Superman comment. Originally, he couldn't fly. Just one of the many evolving powers of the catch-all superhero.

Sonic is awesome,but I probably would of included something about his speed.

"Sega hedgehog" REALLY needs to be more specific. Shadow and Silver are also major-role hedgehogs in the Sonic series. Either they should be added as acceptable answers, or the clue should be changed overall.

Dude . . . if you can guess those other guys, you can guess Sonic.

The clue is perfect. I've never played and knew it was Sonic immediately. Clues need to be short & precise. Can't have...Green ogre of film, voiced by Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy voices the donkey, named Donkey and Cameron Diaz voices his love interest, Fiona, who actually turns in to an ogre herself near the end of the film.

So what? You're saying that Shadow and Silver aren't worthy of even being noted of their existence? Well, excuuuuuse me, princess!

Shadow and Silver are still correct answers, even if most people will automatically click to Sonic first. Wouldn't hurt to accept them as type-ins.

Can't tell if the "excuuuuuse me, princess!" is sarcastic or not

I have a hunch he was either joking or trolling.

Yeah, either trolling or just bitter. I think there is a comment like this on most of these fictional character quizzes. I really don't get why people complain about these.

And I find it funny that rgc1600 thinks that this is for nerds or under 25s. The Simpsons have been on TV for nearly 25 years and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't watched it at least a few times, LOTR was published in 1954 and is one of the best selling books of all time, Superman has been a cultural mainstay for many decades, etc.

I'm a 60 y/o grandmother and I only missed three - Catwoman, Mortal Kombat, and Springfield Elementary - who the heck is Seymour Skinner? Sounds like a porn star. I do agree, however, that many of these quizzes seem to favor younger males in their content - Superman is not considered classic literature in all circles. But I take these quizzes to learn new things, and they help me keep up with my grandkids' generation.

Seymour Skinner is from The Simpsons.

And Action Comics #1 hit newsstands in 1938. Just how old are you, ander?

When did the hobbit come out, 1936 or thereabouts?

btw I'm 37 and this was really easy for me. I think being under 25 would be a liability, actually, apart from knowing the Harry Potter and Pokemon questions, maybe. (and ander proves you don't have to be under 25 to know Harry Potter) most of this stuff is a lot older than that. Aside from those things already mentioned, Don Quixote is from 1605, Gone With the Wind is from 1936, Sherlock Holmes is from 1886, Catwoman is from 1940, Smurfette is from 1966, Star Trek from the same year, Sinbad is from the 1600s or possibly earlier... I could go on.

It is two years later and I missed the same three again. I guess i''m not learning anything new. :( I didn't say all the questions in this quiz were geared to younger males, but I stand by my original statement that many of the quizzes here are. And Ryan, I don't care when the comics came out, girls in my day just didn't read them. I occasionally read my brothers' Archie or Casper comics, but young ladies weren't supposed to care about superheroes or military things. We played with Barbies and boys played with GI Joe. Nancy Drew and Laura Ingalls were considered much more proper reading material for us - at least in my home and school. My interests were developed then and even though this site has broadened my interests, neither Mortal Kombat nor the Simpsons are one of them. We all read literature in school, but I doubt you've read many romance novels that weren't assignments. (FWIW I consider you a younger male, too.) These quizzes are not geared to older women, but that's okay.

My mom is in her 60s and she is a big fan of both the original Star Trek and Batman TV series. And while, yeah, sure, *most* older women have never played Mortal Kombat, granted, I'm guessing *most* teenage boys have never seen Gone With the Wind. And The Simpsons is pretty hugely famous being the longest running television show of all time, with very broad appeal across gender/age group/other demographics. My sister's husband's mother (grandmother more than 20x over), loves that show.

and as for quizzes that appeal more to girls, there are an awful lot of Twilight questions/quizzes on this site. And Taylor Swift. And Justin Bieber. And Olympics gymnastics. And Broadway musicals. and.. white cake ingredients. Now I feel like I'm stereotyping too much.

Duh. Not accepting "Simbad" are we? :)

In Saudi Arabia I saw it spelled "Sindbad"

Or Shaq

Just got home from watching my friend's kid and all I could think of for the "He sailed the seven seas" prompt was Captain Feathersword from the Wiggles, which doesn't even start with S

No Spongebob? I am disappointed

Should also accept "Sindbad".

I can't believe I didn't get Snoopy!

I can't believe 42% missed Scarlett O'Hara despite the visual clue
