So you think you know your comic books and superheroes?

Everyone's a superhero, they say. Can that possibly be true? Sometimes, we all feel like we can take on the world. Sometimes, we can't be bothered to get our sorry asses out of bed. And that's why we have superheroes - to show us the best part of ourselves, but how we could be on a good day.

So, how much DO you know about the labyrinthine multiverse of our beloved comic books and the heroes who end up destroying entire landmarks just to prove that good wins over evil. I'd love to know how much their public liability insurance would be.
