How to approach it
Empty your memory before you commit to a guess. Give yourself two minutes to list every airborne hero who surfaces without effort, then switch registers on purpose: animation, imported dubs, direct-to-video films, team books with decades of roster churn, licensed spin-offs, novels, games. Each register unlocks names the previous one buried. Next, play with word roots for sky, air, wing, flight, star and bird, and check which of them are genuine codenames rather than descriptions. Afterwards, walk the alphabet and mark the letters you never touched, since those gaps usually hide a forgotten corner rather than an empty one. Hand in the strangest name you can honestly defend; popular picks all clump in the same low band.
Get a hint
Begin with the obvious silhouette, a hero whose trademark move is simply rising off the pavement, then widen across every format you can name: printed pages, Saturday cartoons, imported dubs, web strips, tabletop rosters and prose.
A little more
Move from the marquee names into roster filler: reserve members, one-arc allies, international squads, legacy replacements and licensed spin-off heroes who still ended up with a codename and a costume.
One step further
At the sharp end, hunt heroes built on a single altitude gimmick, an element, a rank, a trade or a bird welded to a codename, plus names you would only ever meet two clicks deep in a fan wiki.

Why these answers count
The scoring curve is remarkably flat, which reflects crowding far more than merit. Most recorded answers sit at 85, a single one climbs to 100, and only 141 slide to 60. That bottom step almost certainly holds the marquee names thousands of players type within seconds. Everything else shares the 85 band whatever its fame, from Adam Strange and Air-Walker to Aero and Ajak, because the scorer measures distance from the crowd rather than depth of trivia. Anpanman's solitary 100 proves the point: a figure colossal in one market and nearly unknown in another, so hardly anyone else reached it. The lesson is that the gap between a respectable answer and a superb one is not obscurity for its own sake but a real, defensible name absent from the first wave of guesses. A recognisable second-string hero beats a household name, and a genuinely buried one beats both.
