Which Superhero Are You?

You got: Superman
You were the type of cool kid in high school who invited everyone to sit at their lunch table or come to their party, because the idea of shunning people just because they were different than you made absolutely no sense. You’re a natural leader, and you stick to your guns, with the hopes that if you do the right thing, other people will follow.

DC Comics

You got: Batman
You are a relentless perfectionist, which means that you can sometimes be a bit hard on yourself. We get it — you don’t take what you have for granted, and you know that you could always be faster, smarter, and have better gadgets. But please come up for air sometimes, because the people who like you wish you would text them back every once in awhile.

DC Comics

You got: Spiderman
You get so embarrassed whenever anyone compliments you that you’ve become horrible at taking compliments. You know that you have a lot of your abilities due to luck, but you understand that it’s more important to try to do great things (and sometimes fail), then to do nothing. You’ve also got a big soft spot as far as your family is concerned, so haters best be staying away from your people.

Marvel

You got: Iron Man
You, sir and/or ma’am, are not afraid to go for it. If life gives you lemons, you will find a way to revolutionize the entire lemon industry. And that’s just before breakfast. Insanely competitive, you are married to your job, and if you happened to get married to an actual person, it’s usually because they probably have something to do with your job.

Marvel

You got: Captain America
You believe you’re nothing if not a good neighbor. In high school, you were the type of person who would offer to help someone clean up their front yard after the cool kids TP’d it, because you were just that kind. Politeness is your jam, and why wouldn’t it be? You know that people respect those who give respect.

Marvel

You got: Wonder Woman
Injustices against vulnerable people make you absolutely insane. When you read about horrible atrocities being committed against protestors in another county, it makes your blood absolutely boil, which is why you make it a point to set by example, priding yourself on being ahead of the curve on social issues.

DC Comics

You got: Thor
You’re basically a big teddy bear: playful and lovable with your friends, a horrifying killing machine when it comes to anyone who comes between you and your cubs (or your food). Sometimes you don’t know your own strength, which means that you can be a bit too exuberant when comes to things like parties, hugs, laughter, and beer pong. It’s just because you love too hard.

Marvel

You got: Black Widow
You’re a fixer, a closer, a doer — the type of person who is the first one in and the last one out, because if there’s anyone you trust to get something done, it’s you. You used to hate group projects in high school — too many variables, and you ended up just doing all the work anyway. But hey, it’s served you well.
