	I wonder what Captain Australia or Captain Ireland would look like.

	Quite striking, well-rendered drawings, though I thought at first Spidey was maybe Aquaman

	Middle row, 2nd from left - tough! Thought it might have been Nova, but why would he be in a quiz on the Sporcle front page?

	Why wasn't the Invisible Woman on this quiz?

	Gambit is an X-man (if that's how you would say it)

	Gambit is the coolest of all the X-Men. Educate yourself.

	Captain Ireland would use ALCOHOL as his shield

	TajaReyul, I think the quiz was built around what the general population would know, and the general population takes in movies more than comic books. There are more Marvel heroes with movies, and almost no recent movies about female super heroes, so I'm guessing that accounts for the mostly male, mostly Marvel decisions.

	I'm pretty sure Wonder Woman's silhouette is her superpower. Wow.

	Jimh:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 11:54 GMT		1 point
	There isn't much that distinguishes that one as Iron Man. Perhaps if the glowing circle in the center of his chest had been left in.

	BossMonster:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 12:33 GMT		41 points
	I thought Iron Man was wearing fuzzy boots, so I kept guessing cold-related characters...

	Juvo415:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 13:26 GMT		1 point
	Totally should have used the Silver Surfer from the NES game...

	HansSprungfeld:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 14:14 GMT		10 points
	What? No Radioactive Man? Up and 'at them'!

	When I saw the silhouette of Gambit, my first thought was "David Bowie?"

	@Happ_Hazzard, They are not all white... Hulk is green, Night crawler is blue and Silver Surfer is silver!

	Here is a sequel that address the DC and Woman deficiencies of this quiz. http://www.sporcle.com/games/pgrossma/super-hero-silhouettes-ii

	Mackadal:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 15:51 GMT		5 points
	Pretty sure it`s Nightcrawler, not Night Crawler....

	hodgetiger:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 16:04 GMT		19 points
	@Happ_Hazzard: They all look black to me.....!

	Anyone else try John Constantine or Sandman for Gambit?

	_the_doctor_:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 16:38 GMT		-2 points
	Um, you do know that superhero is one word, right?

	rockgolf:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 16:56 GMT		-1 points
	I was expecting to see The Shadow, or Shade, The Changing Man.

	I DIDN'T GET SUPERMAN!!!!!! INSANITY!!!!

	MovieVGManiac:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 17:40 GMT		4 points
	A little short for my taste, but it was a pretty enjoyable quiz, some of these were harder than expected too. 5/5

	bitternboy99:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 17:43 GMT		0 points
	IRON MAN DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THAT!!!!

	pgrossma:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 17:59 GMT		4 points
	@bitternboy99, this is the picture that I silhouetted (is that a word?) for Iron Man. http://lounge.moviecodec.com/images/polloption/ironman-16932.gif

	lawsig:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 18:05 GMT		0 points
	alright, I definitely overthought it. tried blue falcon before i tried batman, and then tried shazam before I tried superman. I still think it could be either in both cases.

	PhiloKGB:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 18:14 GMT		5 points
	There's no superhero called Shazam. It's Captain Marvel.

	MrCaliChicago:	Mar 13th, 2012 at 18:30 GMT		3 points
	I was convinced that Batman was Darkwing Duck.

	@jimboslice3: She was. ;)

	cool quiz, maybe add some more heroes?

	Thought that was Martian Manhunter for a moment, with the cape and all, then I tried Green Lantern, realized he actually doesn't have a cape....then Superman finally came to me. Geez was a terrible with that just then XD

	Gambit seems to have a striking resemblance to Jubilee in silhouette...
