Note: You need to click the link that says "See the most missed" after you finish to see the percentage of how many people got each one right/wrong.

I got 76......

I think what helped was going through various groups and trying to name them all before I moved on. Started in DC, went down some team rosters, moved to Marvel did the same. Thought of oldest comics out there, etc.

I'd put some more details, but the CBP forum does not current support spoiler tags & I don't want to give away all the answers.

I was in the 99th percentile. Only 0.1% of the 53,275 got in the 71-75 range. Statistically 0% at 76 or above, so my 76 puts me pretty high on the totem pole for this quiz.

Give it a shot!

Me too, until I got most of the marvel/DC in the first 4 minutes and found myself staring at a LOT of blanks in the top 20. That led me to "crack the code"

I got 65 I did not hit upon some of the non big two, but I did not think of the obvious icons until about 2 minutes left. I cleaned out most of one companies lineup but totally forgot some others. I also missed some obvious supporting characters. That was a great quiz.

I am kicking myself from missing two members of some big teams I was listing off. I even thought of one, but forgot to write him down.
