THE BLOOD OF HEROES
Call this one an open comic book test
"You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs." Those words were spoken by the Joker (Jack Nicholson) in Batman after Alicia (Jerry Hall) threw herself out a window. We don't have to tell you why she killed herself, do we? So try this question instead - what's wrong with the above statement?
When the Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer) remarked, "You and I have something in common" in Batman Returns, the Penguin (Danny DeVito) thought she meant an appetite for destruction. He also thought they shared two other traits - a contempt for the czars of fashion and what else?
Let's see you get this one right. If Skank (Angel David) wanted to avenge T-Bird's (David Patrick Kelly) death in a unique way in The Crow, he could have stabbed Eric (Brandon Lee) six times or cut off six of his fingers. The injuries wouldn't have killed him, but at least it would have given him some satisfaction. The question is why six? What did that number refer to?
The tracking bullets that Hellboy (Ron Perlman) used in Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of the Dark Horse comic contained Holy Water, cloverleaves and two other ingredients. If you need a hint, one could stop a werewolf dead in its tracks.
How did Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) discover Syndrome's (Jason Lee) secret identity in The Incredibles?

How did Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson) discover Syndrome's (Jason Lee) secret identity in The Incredibles?
A. Mirage (Elizabeth Pefia) told Mr.
Incredible who Syndrome was.
B. He found a sketch in Edna's (Brad
Bird) workshop with Buddy's name on it.
C. He knew that Syndrome was Buddy
when Syndrome said, "after all, I am your
biggest fan."
D. He recognized Buddy's voice when
Syndrome told Mirage, "praise him. Make
him feel like we appreciate his abilities."

When Peter (Tobey Maguire) returned home from his field trip in Spider-Man, he told his Aunt (Rosemary Harris) what happened to him, but only in a roundabout way. What clue did he give her?
Jor-El (Marlon Brando) told his son (Christopher Reeve) that his help would be called for endlessly in Superman without a secret identity, which was why he needed one. He also gave him another reason. This should be an easy one, even if your credo is Make Mine Marvel!
Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) wasn't the only character in Superman Returns who benefited from someone's death. The Man of Steel (Brandon Routh) discovered that he was a beneficiary as well. The answer we're looking for here isn't the knowledge that was passed down from his father, and it doesn't involve his adoptive parents. If you need a hint, it was something that meant a great deal to him. What was it?
When Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) changed her appearance to fight Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) as Wolverine in X-Men, it was the second of four disguises she employed on Liberty Island. What were the other three, and how did Wolverine convince Cyclops (James Marsden) that he was who he said he was when Mystique tried to impersonate him?
There were a couple of reasons why Xavier (Patrick Stewart) reneged on the promise he made to Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in X2: X-Men United. He wanted him to discover the truth for himself. What was the other reason?
