Lets celebrate the quarter-century of the Geek Quiz with something that should be a piece of cake. In line with this weeks CDC, down below you are going to find 20 superheroes/ super villains secret identities. What I want you to do is say which superheroes they belong to. In the case of characters that have had more than one name as a superhero then I want the first identity they took, with the exception of sidekicks who eventually graduated to full superhero status, in which case we want the name they took after becoming a fully fledged hero (e.g. Hank Pym would be Ant-Man rather than Giant-Man or Yellowjacket, whilst Dick Greyson would be Nightwing rather than Robin).
So if that's all clear then lets go. 1 point per correct answer and as per usual No putting answers in the comments.

*Deleted*
@Mad Jack- DON’T PUT ANSWERS IN THE FREAKIN’ COMMENTS DUDE!!!!!! IT’S NOT AS IF I DON’T PUT IT IN BOLD IN THE OPENING. And in Action Comics 247, his debut, Garth Ranzz is given the name put in the answers, look it up.
13. Not bad overall.
9 of 20. The sidekick to superhero transition threw my off on a couple.
Spoiler Alert / Question: What’s with Marvel and the name “Hank” anyway? Hank Pym, Hank Henshaw, Hank Heck…
‘part from the fact Hank Henshaw isn’t Marvel
True, I tend to forget that the character is from a different publishing company. I quit reading comics and graphic novels back in the 1990s because of a certain someone whose name I dare not speak. I’d just as soon summon Cthulhu.
Jeez, calm down JR. I’m sorry! I simply din’t read that far, but it’s not as if you didn’t already put the answers in here anyway. Or did you forget that the comments can’t be read before the jump to this page where the answers are also visible? Anyhow, chill out before you get yourself a heart attack… 😉
@Mad Jack- Dude, there was a time, not so long ago, when I had to tell people not to put answers in the comments every single week for about ten weeks straight. It gets a bit tiresome. You know like how you went off on one when someone asked a question about submitting for the creators club, the answer to which you and I had both made perfectly plain previously. And anyway, the whole idea is incase someone clicks on the comments before they check the answers. I know it’s stupid, but in my experience, people do the most random stuff (plus it happened all the time when I did this on the forums).
Also, how exactly didn’t you “read that far”? The bit where I say not to post the answers in the comments is right above the first question.
Oh, I’ve got a talent to miss the obvious. ^^
And your anger and frustration is absolutely understandable and yes, I do overreact myself sometimes, but that’s still no excuse for yelling at somebody like you did. Or did you forget that CAPS LOCK writing is equal to yelling on the internet? Well, I can’t stand to be yelled at…
@MadJack- They really need to invent some sort of font thing that isn’t quite caps lock to signify annoyance on the internet, because caps lock is a bit much isn’t it. I didn’t mean to yell, so sorry ’bout that. Just make sure to read all of the description first next time so I don’t have to break out the mights caps again. 😉
I got 18 out of 20. Pretty good if I do say so myself.
Thirteen and two need misses.
