The next generation of Geminis and Ices has been found! The new American Gladiators are ready to take to the ring in January, when the remake of the '80s game show premieres on NBC.
The stage names of the superstar athletes are fairly ridiculous, of course, but that's half the fun. I compared their names with a list of major Marvel and DC comic heroes (and villians) — can you tell them apart?

3/8, i'm so bad at this, and i thought i knew my comic book heroes. i'm a bit ashamed right now. lol.
stealth scares me a bit. she's like as short as i am yet is built like a machine. i bet she can break me in half with her pinky alone. lol.
1I watched the original show...and I'm strangely excited for the new one!
2Not bad 7/8. I loved the original American gladiators, I might check this out...
3I'd like to challenge question #8. Mayhem was a character in Marvel Comics' "Cloak and Dagger" in the 80's. Read the Wiki article here.
This is the absolute nerdiest comment I've ever made.
Fun quiz, Buzz.
4Awwwww man, Whip! I even got my boyfriend to help with this one, and neither one of us found Mayhem.
5Mayhem scares me.
I find Militia to be a bit sexy.
65/8...To me Stealth looks like Jada Pinkett Smith if she was to start taking Steroids! (not saying that that person does)
7wow 7/8 and i guessed on all of them! lol sarah - she does look like jada!
8I have to say, the only reason I knew that is because of my nerdy boyfriend.
98/8-- what what!! I'm not gonna watch, but still...
10This was a great quiz! I loved AG from the early 90s and I can't wait for the new one!
116/8 not bad for guessing
12I still cant believe they are doing a remake of this show. Although it reminds back to my childhood days, i dont think i could bring myself to watch something so cheesy.
13Awww, man, I got Rage and Crush wrong. I currently don't have a boyfriend, dorky or otherwise, to blame, so I'm going to say it's my computer's fault.
14Thanks a lot, computer.
6/8 - not too bad
15aww what happened to quality gladiator names like Ice and Nitro
16Good grief can the writers get back to work already?
17Yeah, but then some of the writers aren't that great either.
18I've been watching old reruns of this on ESPN. I love and loved this show. Ha!
Also, Militia did gay porn.
