CoH secret identity quiz


Ad Astra

 

Posted

Inspired by this thread, I decided to put together a version from our lore here in City of Heroes.

The City of Heroes Secret Identity Quiz!

This is no softball quiz. I've dug as deeply into the lore as I can to find 91 names from the novels, the comics, the game, and dev posts such as "Canon Fodder". Have fun, and don't feel too bad if you're spinning your wheels.

22, but I'm not awake (missed some blatantly obvious ones... and turned someone into an '80s musician, which didn't help.)

That is really tough. I only recognized one right off the bat, so I didn't even try the others.

I have to say, great job though!

I got 19 of them.

All the usual suspects, Freedom Phalanx and Lord Recluse's inner circle mostly.

39 out of 70.

I am kicking myself for missing obvious ones like Mynx and Dreck. Others I was going "... who? Oh, right."

Good quiz.

Is this thing spelling dependent? It feels like I'm taking a timed-typing test.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

37 of 70 on the first try. The thing I found most interesting is that, after several years at this, there are still four or five characters on that list I've never even heard of.

It is. I tried to make it relatively generous to mistakes, but there's an awful lot of mistakes to try and account for.

-edit- Thanks to MDanger, there's one more entry on the quiz. If anyone else can think of a missing hero/secret ID pair, feel free to PM me.

25 good guesses the first run through. Can't believe some of the oversights I had.

After a quick googling I did a little better with a 45.

I even halped and got one name added.

No problem!

I was searching for it on the quiz because it's one of the few I know - I think I scored about a 14 on it

Some, I figure I should have known. The other 40 I wasn't ever going to get.

46/79! On the first try!

And Basilisk, I might be able to scare up a few more entries for you.

I welcome them.

I've also dropped the gauntlet to Manticore. I'd like to see how much he remembers.

Thanks to Dark_Respite, we're now up to 91 entries. Also, I've made a small change so that when you answer or give up, the quiz gives a short blurb about who each of these heroes and villains are, just to give them some context.

Awesome additions! I knew I should have recognized the name Georgia Reynolds but kept drawing a complete blank on her code name! Some excellent new names that completely slip by me as many times as I've seen their names.

Gah! Only 40! I totally facepalmed when I saw the correct answers to some of them! Now I want revenge!
