That blueskinned, tattooed German-speaking guy they found in that church.. now whow as that again? Frank? Friedrich? No.. wait.. damn Kurt?

Level 91

Oct 16, 2015

Yep, many comic book movies/shows shy away from using the superhero names. The X-Men franchise is particularly guilty of this.

Level 82

Feb 10, 2016

but in the Munich circus he was known as the Incredible Nightcrawler

Level 48

Feb 12, 2016

Can you add a couple more spellings for Kato?

Level 59

Mar 10, 2016

accept atom for ant man

Level 58

Jan 19, 2017

Atom did not shrink to insect size (insect being the clue for Ant-man). He usually was about six inches tall but could shrink to microscopic size if need be.

+18

Level 77

Oct 7, 2018

There are many insects that are between "microscopic" and "six inches."

Level 54

Jan 22, 2019

Up and At Them! (Radioactive Man?)

Level 20

Mar 19, 2016

Captain Americas' original enemy was HYDRA, which was led by the Red Skull, aka Johann Schmidt, not the Nazis, although he did fight them.

+27

Level 77

Oct 7, 2018

I dunno, Cap's very first cover in 1941 is him punching Hitler in the face, and the Red Skull is portrayed as a Nazi agent. Hydra doesn't show up until 1965.

Level 30

Oct 20, 2016

Azazel (Nightcrawler's dad) can also teleport and has a tail but he is red to Nightcrawler's blue. Also, it's Spider-Man. Sorry to be so nitpick-ey. Love the quiz!

Level 77

Jan 21, 2019

Ah, but Azazel was never a member of the X-Men, and the question specifies "X-men mutant."

Level 36

Feb 17, 2017

Telekenesis should be accepted for telepathy.

+21

Level 87

Jun 21, 2018

No. Telekinesis is the ability to move things with one's mind, not read minds.

Level 58

Jan 22, 2019

I love the public displays of ignorance in the comment sections of this website. Some people have no dignity

Level 71

Jan 31, 2018

Just wondering: why does Tony Stark have the "Man" part of the answer already laid out? No such generosity with Aqua, Ant, etc. Plus, he's one of the best known of the bunch. No need to make it even easier!

+11

Level 87

Jun 21, 2018

I think it's just to follow the "one word only" rule from the quiz description.

Level 20

Mar 9, 2018

I answered all 27 questions and nothing happened? Am I missing something? The "quote" bit at the end is empty. Is that supposed to be another answer?

+12

Level 62

May 31, 2018

read the instructions.

Level 53

Jan 21, 2019

The quote is only part of a quote and is therefore impossible to guess.

Level 89

Jan 21, 2019

For each answer you get, it gives you a letter for the final quote. If you get most of the answers it's a fairly easy guess to make. You just need to read the instructions.

Level 16

Jan 21, 2019

second time's a charm finished with 1:30 left

Level 76

Jan 21, 2019

Wonder if many people still make fun of Aquaman and his "dubious powers" now that the movie is out.

Level 38

Jan 22, 2019

You know you're a HP fan when "the ability to read minds" makes you automatically think Legilimency (and subly Occlumency).

Level 76

Apr 29, 2022

Mancy.

Level 73

Jun 14, 2023

No, I'm quite sure it's "mency".

Level 75

Jan 22, 2019

I thought telepathy was the ability to convey thoughts to someone rather than the ability to read minds?

i.e it is sending thoughts rather than receiving thoughts?

Level 58

Jan 22, 2019

nope, you're wrong

Level 63

Jan 21, 2020

By definition telepathy is the ability to transfer information between individuals by means other than the five senses. So it's actually both.

Level 56

Dec 15, 2020

Yes, but not necessarily the ability to read minds.

Level 47

Jan 22, 2019

How did so few people know Galactus...

Level 78

Nov 30, 2019

Because he was only in one movie, and that one is only remembered for being bad.

Level 84

Apr 28, 2022

Because he certainly would not appear on a quiz about superHEROES.

Level 27

Feb 26, 2019

1:34 left WOOOO

Level 56

Sep 8, 2019

I put in Iceman as a joke for the I question, was shocked to find out that's an actual character.

Level 48

Oct 17, 2019

I know you'd have to add quite a few questions but the quote is actually, "A silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight" so maybe change that

Level 68

Feb 12, 2020

Missed Kato

Level 83

Jan 15, 2022

I kept typing Farmville for Clark Kent's home town. smh

Level 37

Please Accept cato for kato,

Level 90

But that doesn't start with a K...

Level 77

Apr 28, 2022

I never do well in these kids' quizzes.

Level 77

Jun 18, 2022

I assume it's because you're so mature and sophisticated. Really, though, even if you haven't absorbed a single piece of superhero information since you were in kindergarten, you could still be 55 years old and still get at least 80% on this. Heck, you could be in your 80s and still get more than 40%.

Atom for Antman?
