Pre-Valentine Quiz: Looking for love in a cape or cowl

Thanks to our own Dwiz, I got to find out who my superhero love match is. It's a pretty lengthy quiz, and interestingly enough the very first question is: "Are you gay?"

Once that's established, questions like "Are you trying to get busy on the first date?", "Do you like hights or flying?" "Do you like boys more powerful than you?" and "Do you like bisexual boys?" take you through a variety of interesting possibilities. In the end, I got Beast:

Smart, strong, witty, and snuggly, Beast will either take you out for a night of sophisticated bliss or will make you laugh your rear off. Just make sure to bring a lint brush.

Sigh. I always get Beast when doing a quiz like this. I can see us getting along personally but, while looks aren't the most important thing, I wouldn't be able to kiss him without thinking that I'm fulfilling Rick Santorum's ideas of the dangers of letting gays marry. I could see having a chaste Catherine and Vincent type relationship but anything more would be off-putting.

My second closest match was Spider-Man:

Spider-Man is perfect for you. He's totally nerdy and always cracking jokes. And cute! A date at the museum or a movie would be right up his alley. Don't expect to spend the whole evening together though, Spider-Man's known for ducking out early.

Okay, I can imagine myself having a lot of fun on a date with Peter Parker. He's cute, smart and pretty funny when he loosens up. Plus he's got that agility and those mad photojournalism skills which are pretty damn sexy.

My third closest match was Iceman:

Mostly sensitive, but with a temper that can leave you in the cold, Bobby Drake is for the girl who never gets the nICE guy.

Okay, Bobby always seemed like a fun guy and he's usually drawn to be cute as a barrel of puppies, but what's with all the Marvel guys? I've always been more of a DC fanboy so none of these results got me too excited.

However, I wondered why answering "Hellz yeah!" to "Are you gay?" didn't get me any gay characters. I started playing with the questions, changing an answer or two to see how it affected the results. Sometimes the new match made little sense - I changed my answer on "Do you like big muscles?" from a 'sorta' (4 out of 5) to a "Not at all" and I got Colossus as a result with The Thing a close match. If you're not familiar with Colossus, setting him up with someone who says they don't like big muscles at all is something you'd expect out of the producers of Big Brother.

Even his description is about his big muscles:

Tall, Russian and made of steel Colossus is one country bumpkin who knows how to plow a field.

Similarly, changing "Do you care if your date is wealthy?" from 'not really' (2 out of 5) to "Hellz yeah!" got me a match with Nightwing ... did I miss out on a story arc where Dick Greyson inherited the secret Greyson fortune or something? Was that part of Countdown or one of those series I avoided even the summaries? I never did get a gay character. Ah well, at least I finally did get DC's dream date.

But I'm curious to what kind of superhero love matches our readers get? Who's your superhero love match? Let us know in the comments!
