Are you as annoying as Iron Fist? Sassy and grumpy as Jessica Jones? Find out how much of a superhero you are - and we’ll tell you what show to watch as well
When Marvel’s Daredevil and Jessica Jones premiered on Netflix first – followed by Luke Cage and Iron Fist – it was inevitable that they would eventually team up, to the delight of Marvel geeks everywhere (some of my colleagues, included). And true enough, Netflix eventually launched The Defenders, which even made it on our list of Netflix Picks for August.
Some fun facts: one in eight Marvel viewers was new to the superhero genre before discovering their first hero show on Netflix. Turns out, viewers are finding their way to the adventures of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and even Iron Fist, through the expanding diversity of programmes on Netflix – including documentaries, stand-up comedy, and even anime.
As a treat, the good guys at Netflix have put together a mini quiz to help you out in picking your shows – and find your inner superhero at the same time. We hope it’s someone cool (not Iron Fist).

If you have scored mostly 2s, you’re Jessica Jones! Tough and stern, you have only about 2% tolerance for humanity’s nonsense. Pay a visit to your fellow hardy sisters at Orange is the New Black before heading back into the dark criminal world of Making a Murderer.
If you have scored mostly 3s, you’re Luke Cage! You never back down from treacherous territories, whether it’s a cartel-ridden Medellin in Narcos or a dangerous future in Black Mirror;it’s merely a walk in the park for you.
If you have scored mostly 4s, you’re Iron Fist! Edgy coming-of-age stories and acts of valour keep you on your toes. Thrills and agonies of modern relationships in Love are your indulgence and the adrenaline of watching contestants battling obstacles in Ultimate Beastmaster keep you grounded.
