About This Quiz

In real life, heroes protect us from bad things. Firefighters protect us from fires, police officers protect us from criminals and a good Samaritan on the street may protect us from falling rocks, escaped hyenas or a random mugging. But in the world of superheroes, we need to up the ante. They protect us from supervillains and supervillains are bad, bad news. Their darkness is like a refined, condensed version of the bad things we run across every day. It has to be, since it represents the worst of the worst that needs to be countered by the best of the best. 

The supervillain is such a powerful character because whichever one it is, it's like a magnified mirror focused on the worst habits we can imagine. The worst impulses and desires. They come from us and we recognize in us those bad tendencies amplified to a crazy degree, waiting to be thwarted by a hero. You can't help but want the hero to win but at the same time, if it's a good villain, you'll see yourself in there, too. Those are the best kind. So which villain do you see in yourself? Which one comes out when you go to the dark side? Why not take the quiz and see!
