Superhero MASH Ideas

A superhero board doesn't need to reference a specific comic or movie universe — capes, secret identities, and gadget-filled vehicles are recognizable on their own. That makes this one flexible for a mixed group of Marvel fans, DC fans, and people who just like the general idea.

Play up the double-life angle: a good superhero board has one option per category that sounds like a normal job or car, and one that's clearly superpowered.

Pick one option from each list below for Spouse, Car, Job, Kids, and Income — or use them as a jumping-off point and write your own. The Where You'll Live category stays fixed to Mansion, Apartment, Shack, and House no matter what theme you play, so it isn't included here. Once your board is filled in, head back to the game to run the magic number and see what survives.
