About This Quiz

A costume or uniform of any kind is a kind of thesis. Not all uniforms can be used for all purposes: a Marine Corps dress uniform would look ridiculous on a ballerina, and vice versa. Uniforms are purpose-built. Some uniforms are meant to withstand high altitude, while others make all wait staff seem anonymous. Some uniforms are meant to be friendly and disarming, like that of a toy store salesperson, while others are meant to be off-putting but bland, like that of a bodyguard.

Superheroes are their own special case. It's hard to call what they wear a "uniform" since it's rare that more than one superhero wears the same outfit. "Costume" is probably more appropriate. Superhero costumes are nearly always built specifically for the needs of the wearer, from the hand-wavingly "sciencey" costumes of the Fantastic Four, to the homemade sartorial excellence of Spider-Man, to the Silicon Valley fantasy that is Iron-Man.

You are about to go shopping for the items that will make up your very own superhero outfit. Once you've assembled your uncanny outfit, we'll tell you what spectacular powers you've earned for use with your brand new super suit. Are you ready? Because with great power comes great fashion decisions...
