About the Name 100 Superheroes Challenge

Name 100 Superheroes is a free-recall comic round: close the wiki, type hero names from memory, and see where the list stalls. Capes are easy to picture; cover names are harder to retrieve. This free online version checks each answer live against Wikidata — entities filed as superheroes count. Most villains, actors, and film titles do not.

When you Finish — or hit 100 — share your score and challenge a friend. Shared format: what a Name 100 challenge is. Want any character, not just the costume list? Try Name 100 Fictional Characters.

Can you name 100 superheroes?

People looking for a "name 100 superheroes game" want this blank list — type the hero and keep going. If you searched for a name 100 superheroes quiz, this is it: a free-recall quiz, not a “who is this?” picture quiz. This is also the free Name 100 superheroes website — play in the browser, no app download. Park and princess names belong on Name 100 Disney Characters.

The hero, not the movie

“Superman” counts. “Man of Steel” belongs on Name 100 Movies. The actor does not count. Most villains fail here — they are not superheroes. Sidekicks and legacy names can pass when Wikidata files them as a superhero. Anime leads that are not typed as superheroes belong on Try: Name 100 Anime Characters.

Challenge rules

• Type the usual English hero name — “Superman”, “Wonder Woman”, “Spider-Man”.
• Wikidata superheroes count. Most villains, actors, and film titles do not.
• Each hero once. Another spelling of the same Wikidata entry is rejected.
• No hard cutoff. Timer starts on your first submit. Finish anytime, or the round ends at 100.

Average time & the 5-minute version

Players who reach 100 superheroes usually take about 8–15 minutes. How fast can you name 100 superheroes? Avengers and Justice League names pour out; the B-list is where rounds stall. A "100 superheroes in 5 minutes" run is a harder sprint — most people stall well before 100 when the clock is that short. Use five minutes as a personal handicap if you want. The game on this page does not fail you at 5:00. Fill the list, then look at how long it took.

How to Play

1. Type a superhero’s English name and submit.
2. We check Wikidata for superhero entities — not every fictional character.
3. Aim for 100 unique heroes. The timer runs up — no sudden cutoff.
4. Hit Finish anytime to share your score.

Publisher, then the B-list

Sweep Marvel, then DC, then one other universe you actually read. After the Avengers and the Justice League, force a pass of sidekicks and legacy names. Use the hero name, not the actor and not the film title.
