What is Superman’s biological birth name?

By Classic Nerd | March 2, 2024

Taking the name "Superman" has to be one of the boldest hero moves of all time. You have to be pretty damn confident in yourself to look around at other men and decide you are not just way better than them, but SUPER better. But hey, time and time again, he's proven that he deserves the name. Mostly by wearing red underwear over blue tights.

By Nerdy Trivia | February 8, 2024

The X-Men have a lot going for them: A cool leader, awesome powers, and form-fitting costumes. If that weren't enough to make you jealous, one of their members even has a pet dragon.

By Nerdy Trivia | January 31, 2024

With Batman being such an emo loner, he needed someone he could talk to, according to creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Since then there h

Who was NOT a founding member of the original Avengers?

By Nerdy Trivia | November 22, 2023

If you're a fan of the Avengers, you have DC's Justice League to thank — following the success of the superhero team's comics, Stan Lee's boss basically told him to get cranking on his own version. And voila, the Avengers were born. But that was like 60 years ago. In 1963 the very first Avengers comic book came out. Since then they've cycled through seemingly endless iterations between comics, film, video games, and basically any other medium in existence. Who were those very first superheroes

By Nerdy Trivia | August 22, 2023

And in fact, the animated Spider-Verse movies are among the best — not to mention they kind of nail the multiverse thing way better than the MCU has so far.

By Nerdy Trivia | May 12, 2023

From Jack Nicholson setting out to scare kids to Cesar Romero's gleeful trickster, Joker is a role that can make or break your career.
