As for less than 50% getting JLA, best I can tell from the comments its b/c everyone kept entering Justice League without the America part, like from the cartoon. The non comics readers didn’t know about America being part of the name.

Looking at the poll results, I’m shocked that less then 50% got the JLA from Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Might people be entering Super Friends? That’s the only thing I can think of.

I mind-blocked on this myself, though I blame Kurt Busiek. I kept putting in Trinity Trinity Trinity WTF?!! Plus, I could’ve sworn I’d used JLA earlier. I feel like a clue reading Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle, Martian Manhunter, would’ve cued the correct answer from me.

29/30

I spaced on Mystery Men.

If forced to be completely honest, well, I’m not sure I would have gotten Legion of Doom if not for having read the first couple posts here and the quiz gave me the Crimebusters as a freebee when I typed “Minutemen”. Also my terrible spelling almost cost me the Incredibles (granted my first guess was Doom Patrol anyway) and the quiz’s terrible spelling almost cost me the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (how the heck does the whole name not work when “LXG” does?).

Didn’t get ATHF because, well, I’ve never watched ATHF.

Rest were all pretty simple, aside from flubbing on Hydra a couple of times because I was overthinking it.

(And, yeah, I also ID’d them as the Watchmen, thinking that they wouldn’t know the real name. Yay for me.)

I tried Injustice Gang, then Society. Didn’t even think of Legion of Doom! Even after having seen your link, forgot about Gen13 when doing the quiz and have never read it, so missed that. 24/30 overall, but got all of DC’s!

30/30, and it probably took me longer to figure out how to enter my answers then to take the damn quiz. BTW, as to Birmy’s point about the Crimebusters, I entered “Watchmen” and received credit for that. So I guess close counts.

Looking at the poll results, I’m shocked that less then 50% got the JLA from Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Might people be entering Super Friends? That’s the only thing I can think of.

I got all of them with 3:29 left to go. Gen 13 took me the longest.

I actually was expected more obscure teams for some reason. I was primped for like the Forgotten Heroes. when I saw ice man on a list by first thought was the champions (it turned out to be the x-men naturally enough)

That was easy-squeezy.

I discovered Sporcle last night (before I read this post). This quiz was the first one I did, got them all, in order, with exactly 5 minutes left.

My most embarrassing moment? I took the 1st gen Pokemon quiz. Out of 151 pokemon, I named 118 before time ran out. Among the ones I missed? Pikachu. I did get 9 out of ten of the least known.

30/30 as well with about four minutes left, though I misidentified the team from Watchmen as their predecessors and it gave me the points anyway. Asterisk! Asterisk!

Got ‘em all with 4:21 to spare.

Spaced on Autobots and Mystery Men for a while there.

30/30. God, I’ve wasted my life…

29/30. Like Tyler I missed the Incredibles one, and could only think of DP as the answer. And for some reason it wouldn’t accept my answer of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but it did accept LXG. That’s just wrong.

30/30 with only a couple requiring me to stop and think before answering. I had the same problems with the Legion of Doom one.

And here I thought it was too easy.

For shame, fellow comics nerds!

28/30. Missed Wildcats and Hellboy’s group. I also misread “Spartan” as “Zartan” and kept trying to spell his little COBRA subgroup correctly for half the quiz. It took me a while to remember what number went with Gen13.

30/30, also embarassingly quick; although I tried both Secret Society of Super-Villains and Injustice League before Legion of Doom.

28/30 I missed the Mystery Men and COBRA (total brain fart!)

I went completely blank on “Legion of Doom”, but oddly “Injustice Society” also counts as a correct answer for that.

Otherwise, 23/30. Never read Gen13, never seen Aqua Teen Hunger Force, never seen or read Hellboy…
