50 free Misfits (TV Series) trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Misfits took the superpower story and handed it to a group of young offenders in orange jumpsuits. A freak storm hits a London community centre, and a handful of bored, bickering strangers on community service walk away with abilities that suit their flaws a little too well. What follows is funny, crude and often surprisingly dark. This quiz covers the whole run: who gained which power and why, the crimes that put the gang on probation, the villains they stumbled into, the cast changes, and how the show was made, filmed and honoured. It is written for anyone who watched the gang cover up one accident after another, whether you stopped when the original line-up left or stayed to the final rooftop scene. Start with the famous moments, then see how far your memory of the later series goes.
