This quiz covers every era of the show, from the first season's gentle environmental fables to Challenge of the Superfriends and the toy-driven final seasons. Expect questions on the Wonder Twins, the Legion of Doom, the Hall of Justice, the voice cast, and the parodies and homages that kept the series alive long after it ended. It is pitched for anyone who grew up with the cartoon or met it in reruns: most questions are friendly, with a handful of deep cuts for fans who know their Apache Chief from their El Dorado.
