Who are these Lego superheroes?

Who are these Lego Superheroes and Villains?

Answer 1

First Row

• Captain America

  

  I'm pretty sure this is The Avengers version of the Cap minifig, although it's hard to tell. I'm basing this judgment off his belt, mainly, which in the question image appears to be very thick red; Avengers cap is the only one who has thick red bands on his belt in those locations.

  This variant is only available with the Captain America's Avenging Cycle set, released as a tie-in for the 2012 Avengers movie.

• Spider-man

  

  Based on the defined musculature on his chest, this is the "Ultimate Spider-man" variant of the Spidey minifig. Ultimate Spidey is available in almost every Spidey set released between 2012 and 2016

  The rope in his hands is, maybe obviously, meant to represent one of Spidey's web-ropes

• Wolverine

  

  This is the "Astonishing Wolverine" variant (you can tell because of the blue vertical stripes on either side of his chest. This is a rare variant (although Wolvie is a pretty rare minifig to begin with), and is only available in the Wolverine's Chopper Showdown set

• Hulk

  

  This is notably the Hulk minifigure, which was given away as a promotional item with LEGO Store purchases in May 2012. The Hulks that you can get in the regular sets are more...hulking.

• Falcon

  

  Based on the guns, I think this one might be an off-brand, not the official Lego figure. I obviously can't be certain, but the picture I've included above is of an off-brand, and it's the only one I could find of Falcon carrying those guns.

  In any case, classic Falcon is only available in the Hulk Lab Smash set (which also doesn't have guns for Falcon)

• Cyborg

  

  Cyborg is a newcomer; his minifig was only released in September of 2015. You can get him as a Dimensions Set, or from the Darkseid Invasion set, which is also the only place you can get Hawkman

Second Row

• The Flash

  

  This is the "New 52" Flash variant, available in Batman: The Riddler Chase and Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas. The rods he's holding are presumably meant to represent the Speed Force, and are available in lots of sets (the part started out as a lightsaber blade); as far as I know, they're not actually distributed with Flash.

• Joker

  

  Based on the green checkered waistcoat, this is the 2012 version of the Joker minifig. He's available in a few of the non-movie tie-in Batman sets

• Batman

  

  This is actually a special Batman figure; you can only get the black costume with wings from the Arkham Asylum Breakout set

• Computer Programmer (not, strictly speaking, a superhero)

  

  This happy fellow isn't in any sets; you can only get him by buying a Series 7 minifigure bag

• Superman

  

  This is the comic variant Superman minifig. He debuted as a Comic-Con exclusive in 2011, but has since appeared in a few sets, such as Darkseid Invasion and Brainiac Attack

• Iron Man Mk. 6

  

  You can tell it's the Mark 6 because of the triangular Arc Reactor light on his chest. The Mk. 6 is only available in two sets: Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape and Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone

Third Row

• Nick Fury

  

  This is the "Ultimate Spider-man" Nick Fury minifigure; he's only available in the Spider-Man: Spider-Cycle Chase set.

• Hawkeye

  

  Unlike the rest, this one doesn't appear to be an official Lego minifigure; the official one has red accents, not purple. This purple variant seems to be a custom job, from this Etsy store

• Carnage

  

  So far, Carnage has only appeared in a single set: Carnage's SHIELD Sky Attack

• Loki

  

  It looks like you have the Avengers variant of Loki, which appears in a few of the tie-in sets for the 2012 Avengers film (such as Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape); however, the standard Loki minifigure comes with a bright green cape, while the one you have appears to be wearing a black cape (although that may just be a trick of the light; it's hard to tell).

  Also note that Loki's Scepter comes in two pieces (one of which was later re-used in Ninjago); in most official images these two pieces are together, but in yours he's holding one piece in each hand.

• Ant-Man

  

  This seems to be another custom job, available from this Etsy store; the design is based on the classic Ant-Man look, while official products tend to follow the design from the films.

• Brainiac

  

  Brainiac is only available in the Brainiac Attack set.

Fourth Row

• Wonder Woman

  

  This is the comics variant of Diana, available in Superman vs. Power Armour Lex and a Dimensions set. She also apparently appears in an exclusive The Lego Movie tie-in set distributed to members of the press.

• Bizarro-Batman

  

  By most accounts, Batzarro is a very rare minifigure; as near as I can tell, the only way to get him is with the home video release of the Justice League vs. Bizarro League Lego movie. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if this one was off-brand.

• Aquaman

  

  This is the comics Aquaman, rather than the guyliner-tastic Justice League variant, available in a few Aquaman sets release pre-2017

• Hawkman

  

  As I mentioned above, Hawkman is only available in the Darkseid Invasion set. Note that the set comes with two different sets of wings: one extended (for flying) and one folded up (for going through narrow doorways). Whoever put together your product put both sets on him, hence why he looks like he has butterfly wings

• Catwoman

  

  Catwoman is a bit unusual because no two sets seem to have quite the same version of her minifig; I'm pretty sure, however, that you have the variant appearing in Catwoman Catcyle Chase (which also contains a diamond and that brown whip)

• Thor

  

  That looks like the Avengers version of the Thor minifig, which appears in a few of the sets that tie into the 2012 Avengers film (such as Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout)
