Even True Fans Can't Name All These DCEU Characters

The days of standalone superhero movies are long gone, and now it seems that every major studio is building a massive, interconnected universe where characters move from film to film and build to ensemble movies over the years. It's an amazing way to build a world on the big screen, but it takes some devotion as a fan to make sure that one is watching every single film... so how much do DCEU fans actually know?

Know every film in the DC Extended Universe since Man of Steel first hit the big screen? How about every cameo in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, every battle in Wonder Woman, and seeing the darker side of the universe in Suicide Squad... or like the fans who pick and choose which of the DC films to watch, sticking with the heavy hitters like Justice League and leaving some of the smaller films alone?

We've got thirty five characters from this universe for fans to name, and they will probably only get them all if they have seen every movie... from the major heroes themselves (which should be easy, even for the casual fans) to the villains, families, love interests and secondary characters that complete this world. We are here to see if all fans can name every single one and if we can separate the true fans with the casual fans!

Question 1

Who is this alien hero?

This should be an obvious one, even if you've never seen a single installment in the DCEU franchise! This hero's real name is Kal-El, and he was sent to Earth as a baby when his homeworld was destroyed. Now, he has become a hero on Earth, with his alien physiology giving him powers including super strength, flight, heat vision and near-invulnerability. He was the first major hero to launch the DC Extended Universe, and has already died and been resurrected!

Question 2

Who is this speedster?

One of the youngest heroes of the DC Extended Universe is this speedster, who gained his powers of super speed after being struck by lightning! Now, he is a member of the Justice League, but one with the least fighting experience, and a whole heap of awkwardness to content with as well. However, this genius doesn't shy away from heroics, and was using his powers for good for some time before he was discovered by Lex Luthor, then recruited by Batman.

Question 3

Who is this billionaire hero?

Another one of DC's most famous heroes, this character is one of the only heroes in the DC Extended Universe who doesn't actually have any 'real' superpowers. Instead, he has become a hero through sheer determination and the strength of his mind - building gear and equipment, using his talents to track criminals and take them down, and training in dozens of forms of martial arts. He is also the driving force behind the Justice League in this universe, bringing all the other heroes together.

Question 4

Who is this watery royal?

He may not be King of Atlantis yet, but this tattooed hero is definitely on his way to reclaim the throne that is his birthright! As an Atlantean (or half-Atlantean, anyway), he has superhuman strength, durability, agility, and when under the water, superhuman speed, as well. He's one of the least enthusiastic members of the Justice League, and loves to tease Batman especially - although Batman isn't above a few jabs at the man who can 'talk to fish' himself!

Question 5

Who is this Amazon?

One of the few members of the Justice League to already have had her own solo movie (the other being Superman, of course), the only female member of the Justice League came to this world from the Amazon kingdom of Themyscira during the First World War, to help battle the forces of evil. Now, she remains in this world, fighting as a hero with superhuman strength, speed, and durability, as well as with her Amazon training, bracelets of submission, lasso of Hestia, and Amazonian sword and shield.

Question 6

Who is this ex-football player?

The final member of the core Justice League is this hero, half man and half machine, with a cybernetic body that is constantly updating, giving him new powers, abilities and weapons. This ex-college athlete came into his superpowered body after an accident left him nearly dead, but his father used everything he could to save his son. Since then, the hero has gone from hating his new life to embracing it, and becoming a super hero and a member of the Justice League.

Question 7

Who is this butler?

Every superhero needs some help from time to time, and that's where this man comes in. This loyal butler to the Wayne family is so much more than just a servant, though. After the death of Bruce Wayne's parents, he acted as mentor and father figure to the young orphan, and now does everything from help him on missions (via computer links, of course) to help him maintain his alter ego, sew himself up after battles, and keep himself going.

Question 8

Who is this reporter?

This woman was the top reporter for the Daily Planet, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who dove into investigating both Superman and Lex Luthor. Through her work on Superman, she met the man himself - and the two fell in love. Now, she and the resurrected Superman are engaged, although she was struggling while Superman was dead, giving up the hard hitting journalist that she is known for in favor of smaller puff pieces while she dealt with her grief.

Question 9

Who is this sharp-shooter?

This sharp shooter is one of the key members of the Suicide Squad, and the world's most talented hitman. He was hired by some of the most elite clients in the world, and known for never missing a target... until Batman took him down and had him imprisoned. Now, he has been recruited to the Suicide Squad, where the work he does for the US government allows him occasional visits with his daughter - and his love for her is the driving force in his life.

Question 10

Who is this blonde criminal?

This member of the Suicide Squad was once a psychiatrist, working with the criminally insane herself. However, when she was assigned to work with the Joker, he was able to get inside her head and warp her into this fun-loving criminal with pink and blue hair. Now, she loves causing chaos and swinging her baseball bat, and is the only member of the Suicide Squad to do her superheroics (or super villain antics, depending on how you look at it) in high heels!

Question 11

Who is this pilot?

This United States Army Air Service pilot was working for the United Kingdom as a spy when his plane crash landed on Themyscira, the first man to do so. Because of his crash landing, he told the Amazons about the World War happening, and convinced Wonder Woman to leave her island home and travel to Man's World in order to help fight against evil - and there, taught her about the world he lived in, and about love at the same time.

Question 12

Who is this future queen?

This Atlantean warrior may not be a queen yet, but if the comic books are anything to go by, she will be Queen of Atlantis at Aquaman's side in her time. So far, however, she has only had a brief cameo in the DC Extended Universe, as one of the warriors guarding the motherbox in Atlantis, defeated by Steppenwolf. She is the leader of the Atlantean Royal Guard, and has been trained by the Queen of Atlantis who took her in.

Question 13

Who is this farmer?

One of the parents of the superheroes of the Justice League is this man, who is a farmer from the town of Smallville. When he and his wife found an alien baby in a crash landed pod, they took the boy in and raised him, teaching him everything he knows about doing the right thing, and about the duty that he has to help others. However, this man didn't manage to survive to see his son become a member of the Justice League.

Question 14

Who is this super-villain?

One of the most famous super villains of the DC universe, this genius businessman may be one of the smartest men alive, but brains don't always equal morals... instead, this megalomaniac is obsessed with taking down Superman, and proving to the adoring public that Superman is just a fraud, and that true heroes don't exist. He continues to fail, and was even briefly imprisoned for his wide ranging crimes... but he has now escaped, and is launching his latest attacks from a private yacht.

Question 15

Who is this Man of Steel villain?

The first major villain of the DCEU is a familiar face to fans of the Superman comic books. Like Superman himself, this villain is a survivor of Krypton, and came to Earth after escaping the Phantom Zone, where he was imprisoned as a war criminal. Now free, he wants to set up a new Krypton on this planet, and is willing to do whatever it takes to see that happen. A pure conqueror, and one who is a worthy foe of Superman - at least in terms of strength.

Question 16

Who is this warrior Queen?

This woman is the leader of the Amazons, and the mother of Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman. She is the Queen on Themyscira, and with her sister, is tasked with the protection of the island and the women who live there - and of course, raising her daughter to become the Godkiller and take on Ares. However, she didn't tell her daughter the truth about her heritage. Instead, when Diana was young, her mother claimed that she was sculpted out of clay, not a demigod.

Question 17

Who is this photographer?

Fans of this character in the comics were disappointed to see that he only appeared in the DC Extended Universe for a few moments, before being shot - especially as he had a slightly more interesting backstory in this world. Rather than just being a photographer, this version of the character is actually a CIA operative, posing as a photographer in order to get access to a warlord (by using press credentials). However, he didn't survive the encounter, and won't be returning to the DCEU.

Question 18

Who is this villain?

The big bad of the Justice League movie, this New God of Apokolips has attempted to invade Earth twice now, and twice he has been fought back by the protectors of Earth. Originally, he attempted to invade as a herald of Darkseid, and was beaten back by the combined might of the Amazons, Atlanteans, and Humans. The second time, with Superman dead, he invaded again to try and reclaim the motherboxes he lost the first time and regain his honor, but the Justice League fought him off.

Question 19

Who is this monster?

This giant monster was the brainchild of Lex Luthor, who discovered an ancient Kryptonian ceremony to create a monster, and decided to do it himself. Of course, this was all part of Luthor's ongoing attempt to destroy Superman, in the hopes that a Kryptonian monster (created from the corpse of General Zod himself) would be enough to crush the hero. However, Superman was not alone, and was helped by Wonder Woman and Batman in this battle - although even that couldn't prevent him losing his life in the struggle.

Question 20

Who is this army man?

Although the Suicide Squad is made up of criminals that the government can claim are nothing to do with them, they still need someone in charge - not least to make sure that those charges in their necks are detonated if someone goes rogue! That person is this man - a US special operations forces specialist, graduated from West Point, and said to be one of the finest men in the army. He is the one shepherding the team on their missions - what is his name?

Question 21

Who is this Australian crook?

This member of the Suicide Squad was raised in Australia, but has an American father - who abandoned him as a child. This young man quickly grew up learning not to trust anyone, as well as learning how to create throwable weapons, and to rob banks and jewelry stores. When he came to the US, he became known as one of the most talented bank robbers in the country - but also one of the most violent. For his crimes, he is serving multiple life sentences, only getting out to work with the Suicide Squad.

Question 22

Who is this tattooed villain?

One of the biggest names in DC comics, this villain appears in Suicide Squad, but he's not the primary antagonist in this movie. Instead, he appears trying to hunt down Harley Quinn, who is desperately in love with him, after he tortured her into insanity. Now, this long time archnemesis to Batman is the ruling criminal of Gotham City, and completely and utterly insane himself - choosing to wear his damage on his skin, in the form of dozens of tattoos.

Question 23

Who is this sword-wielding hero?

Although this Japanese assassin works with the Suicide Squad, she is not a criminal who chooses to do so in order to get time away from her cell - instead, she is a voluntary member, and the bodyguard of Rick Flag. As well as being a trained assassin and proficient in a huge number of forms of martial arts, she also has a very special sword, named Soultaker, for its ability to trap the life forces of its victims in the blade.

Question 24

Who is this fiery gangster?

Another member of the suicide squad is this metahuman with pyrokinetic powers - and one who has a sad story of life before the squad. He was born with his fiery gift, and slowly learned that he could use it on the streets as a gangster - however, he doesn't have perfect control over his powers, which led to them burning out of control one night during a fight with his wife, killing her and their children, and leaving him filled with regret and unwilling to use his powers again.

Question 25

Who is this magical villain?

The primary antagonist of the Suicide Squad was also a member of the team at the start - and the lover of team leader Rick Flag. This villain is the alter-ego of June Moone, an archeologist who became possessed by this ancient spirit while on a dig. Now, she is occasionally controlled by the spirit, and when the opportunity arose for the spirit to awaken her 'brother', Incubus, she did so - taking over June and betraying the Suicide Squad.

Question 26

Who is this government agent?

While Rick Flag leads the Suicide Squad on missions, the squad themselves is the creation of this woman, who is a high ranking US government official and the head of ARGUS. She is ruthless and utterly cold, and enjoys having a hold over those who serve under her - and while she is focused on protecting the people of the world, she doesn't trust anyone easily - which is why she started to look for metahumans who might be using their gifts for less than good.

Question 27

Who is this secretary?

The secretary to Steve Trevor, this woman doesn't get as much screentime as her fans would have liked to see - and it's not likely we'll be seeing too much more of her, either, as she was a grown woman during World War I. As well as being a capable secretary to Steve Trevor, this woman was also a suffragette and a feminist, and a friend to Wonder Woman - helping her to understand the new world in which she finds herself.

Question 28

Who is this convict?

There are plenty of criminals in the DCEU that we would love to see put behind bars... but there are also a few innocent men and women who find themselves imprisoned in this world, and the best known of those has to be this man. The father to hero Flash, this man was wrongfully imprisoned for killing his wife (and the Flash's mother). His son has never given up hope, though, and continues to try and prove his innocence as well as regularly visiting him in jail.

Question 29

Who is this assassin?

Fans of the DCEU have only just started to get to know this career criminal, who appears in a cameo at the end of Justice League. He is known to comic fans as a powerful assassin and talented mercenary, and who is more than capable of killing just about anyone he meets - as long as the price is right! For now, in the DCEU, all fans know about him is that he was brought to Lex Luthor's yacht to consider a team up.

Question 30

Who is this bodyguard and personal assistant?

Another bodyguard, this woman was the protector and assistant to Lex Luthor. His right hand woman for the earliest of the DCEU movies, she seemed to be trusted by him, and was often the only one to hear the truth about what he was plotting. However, that wasn't enough to save her, and in the end Lex proved just how ruthless he could be. He sent his right hand woman into the senate committee hearing for Superman to 'save him a seat', knowing that it would be blown up.

Question 31

Who is this father to a hero?

Superman's father was a Kryptonian scientist, and a leading figure in society on Krypton - but one who saw the destruction of Kyrpton looming, and wanted to save his only son. He put his son in a pod that sent him to Earth, hoping that his son would be able to find a new home there, and to continue the good work of their house, albeit in a very different way. He himself, however, perished in the destruction of the planet.

Question 32

Who is this hero's mother?

She may not be his biological mother, but the adoptive mother to Superman is just as important in his life - if not more so! Not only was she a wonderful mother to Clark when he was growing up, and is now a wonderful friend to Lois Lane (and confidante, after they both lost Superman), but she was also instrumental in causing Batman and Superman to stop fighting and join forces... by virtue of having the same first name as Bruce Wayne's mother!

Question 33

Who is this scientist?

Another parent to a member of the Justice League is this STAR Labs scientist, who couldn't cope with the idea of losing his son when he was in a terrible accident. When known medicine failed to bring Victor back to life, his father ended up using the power of the motherbox, and his own scientific knowledge, to create a Cyborg son - something that Victor was less than happy about for a long time, before he eventually became a hero.

Question 34

Who is this deformed criminal?

This member of the Suicide Squad would certainly have trouble passing as an ordinary human on the streets of any city... thanks to a genetic mutation giving him scaled skin and some reptilian features. During his early years, he suffered abuse for his appearance, eventually joining a carnival as a crocodile wrestler - but becoming increasingly violent and criminal, turning against a world that seemed to hate him. As his abilities grew, he became a professional criminal before eventually being captured by ARGUS.

Question 35

Who is this evil scientist?

Finally, who is this villainous scientist? A brilliant woman, she turned her talents in toxicology to the development of weapons such as mustard gas for the Germany army in the First World War - under the influence of Ares, who helped her develop more and more powerful tools of destruction. Cold, selfish, and ruthless, this scientist was happy to see her weapons demonstrated on innocent people, and believed passionately in the cause of her side. She was beaten by Wonder Woman, but her life was spared.
