Can You Name Them All?

Deadpool 27 Cover
Seriously, can you? Because I've been reading Marvel off and on for twenty five years and I can't.

  1. Given time, and a higher resolution image, I might be able to figure out about 70% of them.

    1. I'm hitting about 40-50%. A lot of the older characters I'm getting without a problem but most of the newer ones are blowing right by me.

  2. I got about 80% on my first try without really spending much time on it. I probably could get 90%.

    Funny things is, prior to the nu52, I was primarily a DC fan.

    1. I just tried again and found it fairly easy to identify 90% of the ones I looked at.

      Impressed to see the Shi'Ar Imperial Guard (who I can all name individually), Red Raven, The Collective Man, Damian Hellstrom (The Son of Satan) and Fing Fang Foom!

    2. Your eyes are better than mine!

      I've been collecting my favorite Defenders line-up and the only two I'm missing are the Hulk and Doctor Strange. Did you see them up there?

    3. Oh yeah, but I see you've found them now.

      Didja catch Starfox making eyes with White Tiger? Heh. That ol' dog...

    4. To the right of Aurora from Alpha Flight, below Pixie, you can see Eternal and former Avenger Starfox (aka Eros). He is famous/infamous as a 'player' and Marvel's second biggest ladykiller (below none other than Prince Namor, The Submariner).

      Perhaps as a homage to that reputation, he can be seem looking over to his left (our right) at White Tiger (Angela Del Toro), who currently serves as a member of the Mighty Avengers team under Luke Cage.

      Hopefully that will clear up any question of my comic book geek cred. Remember, I don't even consider myself a Marvel fan per se. If this were a pre-nu52 DC image I could make your eyes bleed with my mad Silver and Golden Age skillz.

      Yes, I wrote skillz. With a 'z'.

    5. I wondered who that horndog was!

      I yield before your skillz, yo.

  3. Yep, I'm with Tom. I'd probably hit about 50-60%. There are some there that I recognize, but can't for the life of me remember their names.

  4. I was never that big of a Marvel fan and wouldn't even try. Hat's off to you guys.

    Looks like Hulk is in a Tux, next to the little green guy with the pointed head, behind and to the left of the line of girls in red.

    Who's the red guy that looks like Hulk on the top row, near the read dinosaur?

    1. Whoot! Now I just need Dr. Strange and I've made my Defenders set!

      "Who's the red guy that looks like Hulk on the top row, near the read dinosaur?"

      That's red hulk. He's actually Betty's dad, the general. He totally got suped up and all ragified. He's a dick.

    2. Did you seriously miss Dr. Strange there?

      Delete
    3. Holy shit. Until I saw your comment I really missed him every time I looked at the picture. Then when I saw you write, "Did you seriously miss Dr. Strange there?" I knew he had been out in the open.

      If he'd been a snake I'd be dead.

    4. Well, either way, if you look at the Hulk, the next face down from him, in the close foreground, just to the left of Hulk's fist, Dr. Strange.

      Delete
    5. LOL! There you go. When I saw you comment on not seeing him, I was like, wow, how could you miss him?

  5. I'm around 65%-70%, but there's also an other 15% that I don't remember the name. :)

  6. Whose the guy above the FF that's got a body like "Thing," but a human face?

    1. And who in the heck is that getting married, anyway?

    2. "And who in the heck is that getting married, anyway?"

      Deadpool and some chick without a face? I'm betting it's actually burrito with a woman's body attached.

      I have no idea.

    4. Not a guy. A gal.
