Mostly As: Professor X – the Techie superdad

Super-smart, a little bit nerdy, may or may not be prone to man-splaining, and likes the latest in gizmos and gadgets. Kind of like Professor X, that loveable, magical mutant with a penchant for telepathy and cool mind-connecting brain-hats.

Dad might like… The latest Samsung Galaxy S10? A nifty quadcopter? Anything techie and awesome really.

Mostly Bs: The Thing – the super ripped Body Builder Dad

It might be a bit of a grim backstory for The Thing, but there’s no denying he’s built like a rock and can bench 100 tons at a time. Beneath that beefed-up exterior, he’s a good oke – just like your gym-klapping dad, with his heart-of-gold.

Dad might like… USN! Gotta have those protes, people.

Mostly Cs: Captain America – the ‘Three Hours Early for a Flight & Always on Time to Pick You Up’ superdad

The ultimate ‘do the right thing’ dad! A real gentleman with impeccable morals, oodles of old-school charm and a buff bod to boot, Captain America is a born leader. Just like Captain America, your dad’s always there to shield you from harm… and make sure you never miss a flight.

Dad might like… A watch, considering his penchant for punctuality!

Mostly Ds: Mr Fantastic – ‘Dad Joke’ superdad continuously tries to cracks you up

What’s brown and sticky… a stick. If your daddy-o has a million of these up his proverbial sleeve, is a pun of fun and tends to light up a room, he’s just like Mr Fantastic – founding member and father-figure of the Fantastic Four.

Dad might like… A joke book is the obvious choice if you want to add fuel to the fire. Otherwise, an ‘I like big mugs and I cannot lie’ mug could also be a hit.

Mostly Es: Iron Man – you’ve got a super-duper DIY Dad

He’s Mr Fix-it, with a drill and a hammer permanently glued to each hand. There’s no job too big or small and no electrician or plumber on speed-call. The very hint that you think an outside specialist might be necessary is the greatest insult to DIY dad’s pride. He’s Iron Man, of course – he’s probably already got a Jarvis-controlled super-suit tucked away somewhere in that shed.

Dad might like… Any kind of DIY power-tool will do. Just make sure he doesn’t already have it.

Mostly Fs: Superman – the ‘Likes to Take Care of Himself’ superdad

If his personal care products take up more room than most, and he has one, perfect Don-Draper-esque curl cascading gently down his forehead, you’ve got yourself a metro dad; the original advocate for the self-care movement. He’s the Superman of dads – sensitive, caring, and immaculately groomed with hair that might look a little too good to be real.

Dad might like… A professional hair-clipper could be a hit. So could a home mani and pedi kit.

Mostly Gs: Human Torch – the ‘Nou Gaan Ons Braai’ superdad

A bit of a pyromaniac, with the coveted ability to start a fire with two sticks, the ‘Human Torch’ dad taught Bear Grylls everything he knows. He can detect that boerie is done with a sixth sense and dislikes fancy braai gadgets – he doesn’t care for pretence. It’s just him and the fire. Flame on dad, flame on.

Dad might like: A new Weber could be a hot gift. A deluxe BBQ wood set is also a good bet.
