Woah, you're no hero! You're a straight up supervillain! Maybe if this quiz was asking you to identify the evil and dastardly villains of the 1940's, you'd be more up to the task!

You might not be the Superman or the Batman, but you're a perfectly good Superboy or Robin. You're the sidekick, the one who's impressive sometimes but isn't quite up to getting the job done alone yet. Just like them, you'll get there one day and take up a hero mantle of your own!

You're no sidekick or dastardly supervillain; you're a regular superhero! Well, at least at recognizing heroes from seven or eight decades ago. It's not exactly leaping buildings and saving lives, but it's still pretty impressive!
