Every superhero needs a challenge—and these characters certainly know how to cause one.
Our family supervillain quiz mixes secret identities with recognisable clues. You don’t need to have watched every film or read every comic. Try the questions together and see which names you can work out.
Characters sometimes have different identities in different stories. This quiz uses the versions named in the questions.

Invent a harmless villain
Create a character whose plans are annoying rather than frightening.
Perhaps Professor Soggy Socks hides everyone’s wellies, or The Midnight Crumbler eats the last biscuit and leaves the packet behind.
Draw a wanted poster with:
- The character’s name.
- Their ridiculous plan.
- Their greatest weakness.
- The person most likely to stop them.
