If You Fail This Super Easy Quiz, You Aren't A Real Arrowverse Fan

The Arrowverse is a fairly new creation that is mainly housed on The CW. The characters are derived from DC Comics, and their stories consistently intertwine. Characters mention each other from series to series and even turn to each other for help when needed. Creating this new universe took hard work. After all, it required tying several TV series together and then expanding that universe with complementary web series that gave more attention to certain sidekicks, other heroes, or gave us more background that could fit in an ordinary TV show. Still, there are many rules that make it different from DC or the MCU, and we can relate to the imperfections and vulnerabilities displayed by all characters from the Arrowverse.

The Arrowverse also deals with common problems, such as characters that come out of the closet, racial tensions, and strong women who have to deal with a world that's made to make them feel weak. What connects all heroes in this universe is their consistent desire to want to do the right thing and have mercy on even the worst criminals so they may get proper justice or even help. But hey, a dedicated fan can sift through the facts and ace this quiz!

Question 1

He was somewhere else before becoming Arrow. Where was he?

Oliver Queen was a billionaire who had access to everything he desired. One day his family's yacht is destroyed and he is separated from his family, friends, and a normal life. He had to deal with difficult circumstances, such as having nothing for the first time, being somewhere he'd never conceived of and dealing with the idea that he may never return home. He had to adapt to new surroundings. But one day he was found. Where was he stranded?

Question 2

What malfunctioned and gave Barry Allen his powers?

Barry Allen was a normal guy working as a crime scene investigator in his city. One evening he takes his best friend out to check out a new event at S.T.A.R. Labs. Throughout the pilot, we see that Allen is talented at his job and enthusiastic about science. He winds up at his lab and is handling evidence when something doesn't go quite right. Barry's powers are the result of a malfunction. What's the name of the item that failed to work?

Question 3

Why was Kara Zor-El sent to Earth?

Krypton was dying because their government mined many resources from the planet and not everyone did what they could to find alternatives to this. The planet started giving out and parents did what they could to save their children. We all know why Kal-El (Clark Kent) came to Earth, but Kara Zor-El had a specific mission and was sent here for something else. Though she was barely a teen, she was sent to Earth with a big responsibility. What was it?

Question 4

Where did Barry Allen & Oliver Queen meet?

When we first hear Arrow mentioned in The Flash, they already seem to have a history. Barry often reaches out to Oliver for advice and even introduces his team to Team Flash at S.T.A.R. Labs. The Flash doesn't really get into how this happened, but Arrow has a story arc involving Barry Allen and his talents as a CSI. It also mentions Barry's reasons for being obsessed with Arrow. What story arc explains how Barry Allen and Oliver Queen became friends?

Question 5

How did Supergirl and The Flash meet?

Watching Supergirl and The Flash was so much fun for everyone involved! Finally, Kara had someone who could eat as much as she could, and someone who could run like she could. Plus, she gave Barry some great tips on being a hero, protecting a city, and protecting his identity. She and her friends also taught them about the differences between their worlds. However, Barry Allen met Kara when he was trying to do something else. What made him get to National City?

Question 6

Why was Supergirl the one to defend Earth from the Daxamites and not Superman?

In Season 2's finale, Supergirl sets her mind on defeating the Daxamites and preserving Earth as a haven for refugee aliens. However, she's confronted with an obstacle even she wasn't expecting. Queen Rhea of Daxam uses silver Kryptonite on Clark Kent and he and Kara end up having to fight. Kara must take him to the Fortress of Solitude so he can get better. Clark explained why Kara has to save the world and not him. What was the reason?

Question 7

Who is this guy?

This man suffered abuse as a child that caused him to be protective of his younger sister. He comes into the Flash's life once he steals a cold gun invented by genius Cisco Ramón. He's a skilled criminal who is also methodical in his ways, and his calm demeanor makes it hard to trust him, but also hard to dismiss him completely. His ways earned him a nickname and a love-hate relationship with him and Team Flash. Who is he?

Question 8

What happened here (besides the dream world)?

Barry and Kara meet someone who makes them go to sleep and live in a musical world. They have to get out of it by following a particular script. This puts them into a coma that makes it hard for their teams to wake them up, even forcing the DEO to take Kara to Barry's Earth. Caitlin and Alex monitor the heroes and discover that something else is happening thanks to the Music Meister's powers. What's happening while Barry and Kara are blacked out?

Question 9

This woman leads an organization called...

When Supergirl starts defending National City she also discovers that someone is creating cyborgs, stealing superheroes, and finding ways to dampen their powers. This group also kidnaps people of interest and things of aliens as a massive threat. The group also schemes ways to beat Supergirl, often thwarting her plans to save National City from various threats. They even took someone important to Kara's life. Plus, it's led by someone who is important to one of Kara's friends. This organization is:

Question 10

What did this man do to Oliver?

Malcolm Merlyn plots the destruction of a part of Starling City and is later revealed to be the father of someone close to Oliver. After his wife was killed he left the city and joined an organization that takes the law into their own hands in order to execute their plans. We keep learning more about his nefarious intentions as the show goes on. His actions are indirectly responsible for turning Oliver Queen into Arrow. What did Malcolm Merlyn do?

Question 11

This establishment is in Supergirl, but not Arrow and The Flash:

Shows on the Arrowverse share a lot in common, but Supergirl is a bit different because of something that The Flash reveals to us when he gets to National City by accident. Each show has the right mix of humor, happiness, and darkness. They each have superheroes with different abilities, and people who care about them enough to keep their secrets. Our heroes also eat at several restaurants. One of these is only in Supergirl and not Arrow or The Flash, which is it?

Question 12

How is she discovered?

Vixen is named Amaya Jiwe and can summon the power of animals because of something she owns. She worked the Justice Society of America and even fell in love with Rex Tyler. Tyler was eventually killed by a speedster that travels through time, and this causes Vixen to leave. She eventually joins the Legends of Tomorrow and has a chance to go back to the past so she can find her destiny, but falls in love. How was she discovered by the Legends?

Question 13

Which of these is not one of Cisco Ramon's creations?

Cisco Ramon is our favorite nerdy geek. He's an engineering genius behind some of S.T.A.R. Labs' best work. He's so good at his job that some villains even steal things he's made or try to kidnap him so he can modify something of theirs. His inventions and modifications help keep S.T.A.R. Labs afloat and even help Barry out as The Flash. Best of all, he does his job with a sense of humor and kindness, which is the key to his amazing inventions. Which of these is something he didn't make?

Question 14

What's the name of the neighborhood being conspired against when Oliver Queen returns to Starling City?

Oliver returns to Starling City from Lian Yu with a mission. His father Robert made some confessions after their yacht was destroyed and this gave Oliver motivation to survive his circumstances despite some intense challenges. Oliver had to overcome harsh weather, betrayal, and the guilt Robert felt because of his actions in Starling City. He became Arrow to correct some of these wrongs but had to begin by saving a particular neighborhood in his town. It's called:

Question 15

These particles are left behind whenever a character time travels in The Flash.

When Barry Allen becomes The Flash he discovers that the power of speed is more than just moving fast. With the help of Team Flash at S.T.A.R. Labs, he discovers he can do some pretty impressive things, including visiting parallel Earths and time travel. Future speedsters are able to manipulate something that is left behind whenever they travel through time. It's a hypothetical particle said to travel faster than light and is consistently used in other time travel stories. What is this?

Question 16

What's the dumbest lie Oliver told Felicity in season 1 of Arrow?

Walter Steele trusted her and despite some dumb fibs, Felicity Smoak eventually reveals something important to Oliver. This makes them trust each other despite the strange circumstances. Before he fully makes her a part of the team he brings over a "friend's" computer. He then shows up with a mysterious arrow from someone else so he could buy a "gift" for someone else. His dumbest lie is one he told while someone drugged him and he used his own methods to get better. It was:

Question 17

Which is NOT one of the Vibe's powers?

Cisco starts having dreams and realizes he's actually a meta-human. At first, he thinks he can only see the future or is cultivating stronger instincts than most people, but as time progresses Cisco grows into Vibe and learns a lot about metahumans and himself along the way. Barry also respects his powers and gives him tips on how to survive as a metahuman. His parallel, Reverb, teaches him a thing or two as well. Now tell us which of these isn't something Vibe can do:

Question 18

What is the President's secret in Supergirl?

Supergirl charms everyone with the sacrifices she makes for National City on a regular basis. Even Hank Henshaw eventually gets around to seeing her as a part of the DEO. CatCo's coverage turns her into National City's new beacon of hope, and Supergirl even meets the President. They immediately get along because of her compassion for alien refugees and their desire to help others. But the POTUS in Supergirl has a secret that effects her later on. What is it?

Question 19

Who is he really?

Hank Henshaw has one of the most interesting arcs in Supergirl. He was suspicious of Kara's alien's origins and her reliance on her powers. However, he was also a father figure for Alex and Kara despite their consistent disagreements. The discovery of his origins was a defining plot twist in Supergirl. Plus, it gave Kara someone to turn to for tips on how to be a better hero, and who understood how she felt about anti-alien politicians. What's his actual name?

Question 20

What's her big secret?

J'onn J'onzz assumes he is the last Green Martian in the entire universe after a genocide wiped them from the face of Mars. When he meets M'gann he feels an instant connection, but she refuses to take the customary bond, which makes Hank feel betrayed. Once he needs her help to survive, something happens that forces M'gann to tell him her secret—and it nearly costs her his friendship. M'gann's secret also forced fans to change their perception of what happened on Mars. What was it?

Question 21

Why did this man become a masked hero?

Supergirl is used to being the hero and having to fight against bad guys. In fact, she's so used to it that it's hard for her to recognize when there's another good guy in town. More so, she gets extremely angry when she finds out James is behind the mask, and that he has help. He wanted to start being this person because a particular event in his life took something precious from him. What happened that turned James into the Guardian?

Question 22

Who is she?

Oliver Queen meets many people on Lian Yu. Most of them betray him, but he surprises all of them. Only one person saw his potential and was willing to teach him what he needed to become the Arrow (though he didn't know it at the time). What's more, she was the only woman in the island that had her particular set of skills. This person also helped him survive some of his choices in Lian Yu. What is her name?

Question 23

Who is this?

Barry Allen learns that there are consequences to time travel. He has to try to restore the timeline and even confess the changes to his friends in Star City. What's more, he has to make it up to many people whose lives are altered because of his trips. But not only that, there are some people who remember their former lives and want them back. The person in this picture has something to do with the restoration of these powers. What's his name?

Question 24

What is Mon-El's weakness?

When a mystery man appears in a Kryptonian vessel, Kara has hope that there may be other Kryptonians that fled. However, time reveals that this Mon-El of Daxam. On the surface, he and Kara are quite similar and this gives the DEO a hard time figuring out what's wrong with him. Later, the team discovers that Daxamites can't fly on Earth, and that they're not bulletproof. We know Kara Danvers can't take Kryptonite. What's does his physiology make him vulnerable to?

Question 25

How does she betray Winn?

After his unsuccessful attempts to win over Kara don't work, Winn is heartbroken. He eventually starts dating someone else, but she turns out to be different than what he expected. Lyra from Starhaven and everything seems to be going great despite a few red flags here and there. Though Winn's friends accept her they are concerned at how fast the relationship is going. One day she does something that finally shows them why she's seemingly so into Winn. What was it?

Question 26

Which city is NOT used as a shooting location for Arrow?

When watching an episode of The Arrow, it's hard to recognize a single city that could be used as a location. No street signs or names are recognizable and landmarks seem like mash-ups of many cities in around the world. This gives the city a darker and more mysterious feel than the happier Supergirl's National City (which is obviously Los Angeles). Of the many locations used to shoot Arrow, name a city that is not used as a location for the show.

Question 27

How does Iris react to her mother's reasons for coming back?

Iris and Barry share a strong connection because they both grew up without their mothers. Joe has to make some life-changing revelations about her, and this causes them to deal with her past all over again. Years of memories without her suddenly had to be dealt with, and Barry did his best to be there for her. Once she revealed why she had come back, Iris had a swift and surprising reaction. How did Iris West react to Francine's final confession?

Question 28

When does Arrow first fight with The White Canary?

The White Canary is a woman fleeing from her past, but she's also someone from Oliver's past. When described, Felicity becomes a fan because she helps women who were would-be victims of r-pe. When Oliver discovers her, he goes after her and treats her as an enemy but she knows who he is. Eventually, Sara Lance (White Canary) helps Oliver with something as they probe into her secrets. When does Arrow first fight with her?

Question 29

According to the Arrowverse, which Earth does Supergirl take place in?

The Arrowverse takes a few poetic licenses with science, physics, and mathematical theories, but one of its coolest concepts is the multiverse that lets us see The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow together. The theory that allows this to happen, and lets Barry find Supergirl is called the multiverse: an infinite amount of Earths and parallel universes that contains doppelgangers of everyone involved. According to this theory and according to Barry and Cisco, which Earth does Supergirl live in?

Question 30

Who did this man NOT play?

Harrison Wells is a complex man with many objectives. Thanks to the multiverse theory we get to see him as many versions of himself, and they're all quite interesting. No matter what you think of Wells, he and his doppelgangers always add to the table and each version of him always brings out the best in Team Flash. This creates a lot of confusion in new fans of The Flash. But real fans know which is which. Who isn't a doppelganger?

Question 31

Who is she?

Supergirl has a variety of villains to defeat. This includes National City thieves, aliens who have a vendetta on humans, and cyborgs created by Cadmus, to name a few. Others are rich folks who have connections and a knowledge of science and are terrified of aliens. Supergirl often has to fight against the fears aliens have about each other. One crafty villain formed a fight club that forced many to fight against their will, and forced some our characters to divulge secrets. Who is this?

Question 32

What organization is this?

With the amount of organization sinvolved in the Arrowverse, it can get confusing to keep up with all of them. The organization in this picture is deadly and responsible for many of the dangerous and horrible things that happen in Starling City. We don't realize the full extent of their criminal activities and what they have to do with Arrow until season 2. The organization consists of some of the few people who have almost killed Arrow. Their name is:

Question 33

When does Alex first remember becoming close to Kara?

Alex has been protecting Kara ever since she arrived on Earth. She had to help her learn Earth's ways and how to conceal her powers. As Kara grew up, Alex helped her figure out how to be an adult and became an important part of her life—even more important than their mother in some ways. As Kara became Supergirl, Alex reveals to us how she and Kara first became close after she arrived on Earth. What happened that made them become close as kids?

Question 34

What did she need from Supergirl?

The multiverse is full of surprises, and one of them is another Earth that's being led by the New Reichsmen, a fascist organization that oppresses its citizens and is modelled after the Third Reich. We discover that doppelgangers in Earth-X are very different from the ones in other Earths. Arrow is the Führer and is known as Dark Arrow because World War II wasn't won by the Allies in this Earth. But Overgirl needed something from Kara in Earth-38, what was it?

Question 35

How does F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. work?

Ronnie is thought to have been killed after the particle accelerator and this broke Caitlin's heart. Someone sees him one day and seems to have the ability to fly and manipulate fire, but isn't quite himself. Later, the team realizes that Martin Stein has seemingly disappeared since the night of the particle accelerator. Stein's wife mentions that a man who looks like Ronnie has been following her. Team Flash realizes this has to do with how F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M. affected Ronnie and Martin. How does it work?
