About This Quiz

As you know if you haven't been living under a rock, there's a war going on in the nation's multiplexes -- or, heck, the world's! The Marvel and DC franchises are slugging it out for loyalty of moviegoers, and for at least a decade, Marvel has had the edge. But DC had one weapon in its arsenal that Marvel didn't: the world's most iconic female superhero, Wonder Woman. They played that card — and how! — in 2017, with the release of "Wonder Woman," which got glowing reviews from most critics and raves from fans. 

Marvel countered in 2019 with "Captain Marvel," which benefited from Academy Award winner Brie Larson in the lead and Samuel L. Jackson as a younger Nick Fury. The movie's heroine was a Kree named "Vers," who turned out to be a human named Carol Danvers, an Air Force fighter pilot adopted onto the Kree homeworld for reasons too complicated to go into here. 

The heroines of both films had certain things in common. For example, Captain Marvel's amnesia about her life on earth parallels Wonder Woman's sheltered life on the island of Themyscira, where she knows nothing about the outside world. But they diverge as well, with Captain Marvel displaying a wry cynicism about the world, whereas Diana of Themyscira views it with, well, wonder.
