Pick Your Favorite Heroes To Find Out Which Villain You Are

5K Shares

Back in the Golden Age of comic books, it was easy to tell who was a hero and who was a villain. The lines were very black and white back then. However, over the years, as writers like Frank Miller and Alan Moore have made comics darker and directors like Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder have made the movies based on them darker, those lines have become increasingly blurred.

But still, it’s clear who are the heroes and who are the villains. The relationship between them is one of the most interesting aspects of these stories, and it’s partly why we keep coming back to watch them do battle. Comics books and movies have given us dozens of brilliant and iconic heroes and villains over the years, all matched perfectly for decades-long rivalries. Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, Batman and the Joker, Thor and Loki, Captain America and Red Skull, Superman and Lex Luthor, the X-Men and Magneto, Green Lantern and Sinestro, the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom – and that doesn’t even scratch the surface. The list goes on and on. But would it be possible to find out which villain you are based on which heroes you love? Find out by answering these 25 questions!

Question 1

Who do you want to win?

When Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was first announced a few years ago, the question on everybody’s minds (apart from who was going to play Batman) was who was going to win the fight. After it came out, the question asked was why it sucked so much. But before you saw it, who were you rooting for?

Question 2

Do you prefer superhero teams or lone wolves?

Some superheroes run in packs. You’ve got the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Defenders, and all the others. But you’ve also got the lone wolves. You’ve got the guys who don’t play well with others and fight alone. Then there’s guys with sidekicks. So, which is your favorite?

Question 3

Who were you rooting for in Civil War?

Captain America: Civil War was a huge departure from the comics, although in all fairness, the comics had to weave together the stories of many, many characters that the filmmakers didn’t have the time or the rights for. Anyway, there were two distinct sides in the movie. Which side did you take?

Question 4

Do you prefer superheroes with powers?

Superheroes don’t necessarily have to have superpowers. They could be like Batman, simply a person with an unstoppable need to do good and fight crime. They could be born with their powers like Superman, or acquire them somewhere along the way during their lives, like the Hulk or Spider-Man, usually as part of a scientific experiment gone wrong. Which do you prefer?

Question 5

Which power would you like the most?

Supervillains don’t have powers the way the superheroes have powers. Superheroes use their powers for good, but supervillains use theirs for evil. So, they need to have a very specific kind of power in order to inflict the chaos that they want to. Which of these powers would you like the most?

Question 6

Which two heroes would you combine yourself into?

One cornerstone of finding new plots out of the same comic book characters is amalgamation. If you could be a combination of two superheroes – in the vein that the US government’s Iron Patriot project sought to combine Iron Man’s armor with Captain America’s patriotism – which two heroes would you want to be a mixture of?

Question 7

Spider-Man vs Human Torch: who would you root for?

Spider-Man and the Human Torch would probably never fight. They're allies. They've fought alongside each other. But if push came to shove and it did happen, first of all, it would be interesting to see. The Human Torch would be fighting without the help of his buddies in the Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man would be facing an element he doesn't often have to combat: fire. If this fight actually happened, who would you root for?

Question 8

Which of these heroes would you most like to form an alliance with?

Comics books featuring the best known superheroes have been going on for decades and decades, so the writers have pretty much exhausted all the possible avenues for story content. That includes every unlikely alliance you can think of. But sometimes people are forced to make unlikely alliances under pressure, so it could happen. Which of these heroes would you most like to form an unlikely alliance with?

Question 9

Robin vs Daredevil: who would you root for?

This fight would never happen in comics canon, because it would require a crossover of the Marvel and DC universes, which the powers that be would never allow. So, you'll have to use your imagination. Picture Batman's loyal ward Robin getting into a fight with Hell's Kitchen's blind defender, Daredevil. Who would you be rooting for if that fight ever happened?

Question 10

Which of these characters do you think is the hottest?

Comics books tend to skew male, and so the heroes and villains tend to be men while the love interests tend to be women. And the villains do have love interests, because just because they’re evil, doesn’t mean they don’t have a heart. But which of them would be your love interest? Which of these characters do you think is the hottest?

Question 11

Black Panther vs Batman: who would you root for?

Now this would be an interesting fight. Unfortunately we'll never see it, because Black Panther's rights are owned by Marvel and Batman's rights are owned by DC, and those two companies have their own superhero civil war going on. But if it DID happen, which would be really, really great, who would you be rooting for? Would you want the Bat to win or the Panther?

Question 12

Nightwing vs Wonder Woman: who would you root for?

This fight would be pretty awesome and it's a pair of DC characters, so for all we know, it already has happened. There have been trillions of comics published about these characters. Who knows? Someone's probably written it, someone's probably read it.

Question 13

Mr. Fantastic vs Supergirl: who would you root for?

This would be a very interesting fight. Mr. Fantastic can't fly, or really do anything, but thanks to his flexibility and stretchiness, he's incredibly agile, and that can be a crucial skill in a fight. However, it is pretty hard to beat Supergirl. Not only is she Superman's cousin, she's also basically better than him in every way. But could Mr. Fantastic beat her? Who would you root for?

Question 14

Silver Surfer vs Superman: who would you root for?

This would be a good fight to see, because they're basically the same guy, except one of them is chrome and rides around on a flying surfboard. They're both aliens from another planet with huge amounts of power. But who would you root for if the Silver Surfer fought Superman?

Question 15

Which of these physical features do you have?

Since comic books and movies are a pair of supremely visual mediums, the appearance of a hero or villain is one of the most important elements. They’ll often be given a distinctive physical feature so that audiences can remember them better. So, which of these physical features do you have?

Question 16

Do you like capes?

The superhero costume designer Edna Mode in the wonderful Pixar flick The Incredibles has one rule: no capes. She thinks they’re a terrible idea, because time and time again, she’s seen her friends get sucked into jet turbines and struck by lightning and otherwise killed horrifically. But do you like capes?

Question 17

Black Cat vs Catwoman: who would you root for?

Cat vs Cat. Wouldn't that be interesting? It would bring a whole new meaning to the term "catfight." Catwoman is obviously crazy and not someone you should ever mess with, but Black Cat could probably hold her own. She's getting her own movie soon with the title Silver and Black. Hopefully the movie will do her character justice. Anyway, if she got into a fight with Catwoman, who would you be rooting for?

Question 18

Which of these powers would you consider the most threatening?

As a supervillain, you both love and hate the hero that you’re fighting. Of course you’re against them, but there’s always a much more complicated relationship at play than that. But that only happens if the relationship lasts long enough, and it’ll only last long enough if the villain can fend off the hero, depending on their abilities. So, which of these powers would you consider most of a threat?

Question 19

Deadpool vs Batman: who would you root for?

This would be awesome. If the invincible Deadpool got into a fight with Batman. The Merc with a Mouth vs the Caped Crusader. They're both possibly the most badass characters to ever come out of their respective publishers and if they had a showdown, it would truly be something to behold. One simply can't be beaten and the other basically can't because he has gadgets and armor to prevent it. But who would you be rooting for if this fight did happen?

Question 20

Superman vs Spider-Man: who would you root for?

Before you go saying that this is hardly a fight, think again. Yes, Superman has the power of flight, he has X-Ray vision, he can shoot laser beams out of his eyeballs, and bullets bounce right off him, but give Spider-Man a little credit. He's taken on the Green Goblin, the Kingpin, the Chameleon, the Scorpion, the Vulture, Sandman, Doc Ock, the Lizard, the Scorpion, and so many more.

Question 21

“With great power comes great...” what?

Interestingly enough, although this line (one of the most iconic in all of comic book history), is attributed to Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben, it was in fact written in a text box in the very first panel of a Spider-Man comic, written as, “With great power there must also come great responsibility.” But that was changed later. How would you personally complete this quote?

Question 22

How much competition do you like?

Both superheroes and supervillains face a lot of competition from others. The Avengers is an elite group that you have to prove yourself to get into, as shown by Peter Parker’s struggles to get noticed in Spider-Man: Homecoming. And supervillains face competition from any number of others who are battling the same hero. Do you like a challenge? How much competition are you comfortable with?

Question 23

Justice League vs Avengers: who would you root for?

Ah, this would be the ultimate showdown. On the one side, you've got the likes of Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, and many, many more. But on the other side, you've got the Man of Steel, the Dark Knight, Wonder Woman, Aquaman (okay, meh, but y'know), Green Lantern, the Flash, Cyborg, and all the rest. So, who would you be rooting for if the Avengers fought the Justice League?

Question 24

Which of these allies would you prefer?

It’s always good to have allies when you’re a superhero or supervillain. With no one out there to watch your back, then you’re too vulnerable. You’d be dead within a week. That’s why it’s important to find at least one person to have as an ally. So, which of these allies would you prefer?

Question 25

Lastly, which of these superheroes is your favorite?

This question is the daddy of them all. It all comes down to this. Everyone has a favorite superhero. The characters are all wildly popular and have been for years. They’ve been in comic books, movies, TV shows, everything. But which of these four superheroes is your favorite of the bunch?
