Superhero movies are becoming all the more common, especially with all the different franchises and alternative time lines in newer films. For example, the original X-Men series got away with making a new series of movies with young versions of the older characters by “going back in time” and changing the past which inherently changed the future. Although it can be kind of confusing when you’re talking about what young vs old Magneto did, it was still an interesting twist to incorporate new supervillains. The two major branches of supervillains can be divided into Marvel and DC because they are technically two different “universes.” This quiz features both, with villains from Guardians of the Galaxy, the Spider-Man franchise, the Avengers movies (and the character’s solo movies), Batman, Superman, and of course Wonder Woman. Do you think you know all of the supervillains from their respective movies? Some of the villains included in this quiz have “changed” sides from their first appearances as villains, but all nonetheless share the same qualities and motives that a supervillain has. So, do you think you’re a true geek when it comes to naming them all? Take this quiz to find out if you are!
