	Sometimes I wonder if all the other superheroes secretly hate Superman. He probably steals all their jobs. I mean, why would you have a message delivered by The Flash when Superman can deliver it just as fast PLUS he can blow-up any meteors that get in his way.

	Who the heck is Grifter??

	avgnyer68:	Jan 4th, 2010 at 18:08 GMT		5 points
	this quiz is going to have a very abnormal, skewed distribution. I get 13 out of 30, and I'm in the 84th percentile out of 1000? awesome quiz though

	lol at mcory. Gud quiz btw, very tough.

	Swamp Thing shouldn't be plural. :)

	Barbara was Batgirl, Kathy/Kate Kane is Batwoman

	I find it pathetic the way things get stuck in my head, and I just can't get them out, no matter what. For instance - I couldn't remember Wonder Woman's last name, but the only thing that kept popping into my head was "Diana ROSS" ... it sucks to get old!

	No Charles Xavier for Professor X?

	rockgolf:	Jan 4th, 2010 at 18:37 GMT		11 points
	@icing: Diana Prince maybe a super hero, but Diana Ross is Supreme!

	@robschulz: Grifter's a member of the Wildcats. The team was created by Jim Lee back in the early 1990s and originally published by Image Comics. The book's now published by DC Comics through its WildStorm imprint. I'm with MadRAD. I'm quite surprised this quiz got published with such an egregious mistake (especially after being so thorough with Ororo/Storm's name--the Iqadi is a very recent addition to her name, and, IMS, is more of a title relating to her marriage to the Black Panther than a name). I only got the right answer by assuming the superhero ID was wrong. (Of course, Barbara currently operates as Oracle.)

	I'm with icing, all I could think of was Diana Ross. and I've never heard of Grifter either.

	BamaRainbow:	Jan 4th, 2010 at 18:44 GMT		2 points
	@rockgolf: Actually, Diana Ross was the lead Supreme. Ethan Crain is Supreme (http://www.comicbookdb.com/character.php?ID=5344).

	I only got Grifter because a) I bought all the first few issues of Image comics because I was convinced "they'd be worth money some day!" and b) he had the most silly forced pun name ever. Interestingly, I missed Spawn, despite this glut of buying early Image.

	HeywoodJ:	Jan 4th, 2010 at 20:20 GMT		3 points
	Havok, I think the worst pun name ever is "OvertKill". Man the 90's gave us some crap......

Comment below threshold: show it

	even if you don't know what a surname is, look at the title of the quiz...it says: "Can you name the last names of these superheroes?" Also...mcorys comment made perfect sense

	Not good at it, but good quiz.

	@heavyduty: Sometimes surnames aren't the last name. In Japan, for example. Or for Turanga Leela.

	@mccory: I feel like there is often a certain level of resentment of Superman that comes through from Batman. However, this resentment is matched by Superman's desire for Batman to work more within the system. Maybe that's just Frank Miller speaking. In any case, some of Superman's inner turmoil is explored in Astro-City's character Samaritan. It's weird that you bring that up, at least for me, considering I just used Batman and Superman as comparisons of Odysseus and Achilles in a recent myth course.

	Swamp Thing should have counted "Olsen" as well as Holland.

	JeremylikesAIDS:	Jan 4th, 2010 at 23:53 GMT		8 points
	Who the hell doesn't know what a surname is?

	caramba:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 01:24 GMT		12 points
	@mcory: At least the Flash could actually deliver the message. It's not like he's Aquaman where the rest of the heroes have to think up underwater missions just to give him something to do, so he can feel he's earned his Tetra-Min flakes.

	Csquared08:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 02:21 GMT		3 points
	I thought Catwoman was a villain. yeah, she's recently become a hero, but she's been a villain 90% of the time she's been around. and I also thought she had recently gone back to cat-burglaring

	@caramba: don't be hating on Aquaman. He's got the #1 movie of all time directed by James Cameron!

	rockgolf:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 02:40 GMT		8 points
	@Caramba: "Thank you, Aquaman! You delivered this message just in time." "No problem, but I have to go! Aqualad is being threatened by Black Manta!" "Farewell, Aquaman! Now, what does the message say? Hey, wait! The ink is all washed out! NOOOOOO!!!!"

	fatbeard:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 03:37 GMT		5 points
	Just as I took this quiz, I was watching the family guy talking about how useless aquaman is. a woman's getting raped on the beach, and he's just sitting in the water yellng at them. then he throws a starfish. "ah if you don't like starfish you're not gonna like what i just did"

	RS89:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 03:58 GMT		1 point
	It's "LeBeau". The "B" is capitalized.

	rockhopperlad:	Jan 5th, 2010 at 05:57 GMT		1 point
	19/30 is not bad for a die-hard DC fan who never bought a Marvel comic in his life. :)

	@rockgolf, @fatbeard: I have to confess, my Aquaman rant was inspired by Seanbaby's hilarious Super Friends Page, which unfortunately hasn't been updated in years. (not for genteel folk)

	Enjoyable quiz, though a bit Marvel-heavy for my liking.

	superIQ58:	Jan 6th, 2010 at 21:43 GMT		1 point
	Since I am clueless about comics, I got 5 points by simply typing Clark Kent and random last names.

	misfit23:	Jan 6th, 2010 at 22:15 GMT		1 point
	I love.love.love DC and barely read marvel(except for Runaways) so I only got 13.

	@Csquared08, Catwoman kinda switches back and forth every now and then between hero and villain. I think she's usually looking out for her best interest, which occasionally falls on the side of good. But usually her best interest is something that she wants to steal.

	I think this is the first time one of mccory's comments went UP.

	RaptureQuinn:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 13:20 GMT		1 point
	Wait, is T'Challa or Monroe the last name of Ororo? Did she marry someone named Monroe then revert back to her maiden name of T'Challa (which really fits in more with 'Ororo Iqadi')?

	I don't know who Grifter, Swamp Thing and Spawn are, but I got the rest right.
