Superheroes is a game in which one performer plays a superhero with an odd audience-suggested identity. He faces an audience-suggested crisis and is joined by another performer. In welcoming this performer, he provides them another odd superhero identity. The third and fourth performers arrive in turn and are named by their predecessors as well. Then, after the crisis is solved, the performers depart in reverse order. The superhero names are usually in stereotypical superhero form (e.g. [something]-man, or [something]-girl) with an unusual identifying characteristic or power.
