It seems like death isn’t a permanent barrier for characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While villains like Obidiah Stane from the first Iron Man movie haven’t returned, others like Thanos, Loki, Ronan the Accuser, and Kilmonger have all reappeared in some way after seemingly dying. Ultron, a classic Avengers foe, is a notable exception – he’s only appeared once in the MCU so far. But that’s about to change, and it’s going to be strange. It’s possible bringing him back won’t be a good idea.

With so many characters already in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, it seems like the game is already packed. However, Nintendo has missed some popular and deserving characters who would be great additions. The five characters listed below aren’t just what fans are asking for – they’d also fit perfectly into the game’s battles.

Starting in early October, Tubi began streaming all episodes of the six-season Emmy Award-winning show, *This Is Us*, which originally aired from 2016 to 2022. The series was a heartwarming, multi-generational drama celebrated for its emotional stories and the fantastic performances from its cast.

A common trick in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is to make characters *seem* dead, only to bring them back later. When done well, this can add depth to a character’s story and create exciting new plotlines. But sometimes, it feels like a disappointing reversal of a meaningful event, lessening the emotional impact. These unexpected returns have led to some of the most surprising, appreciated, and, at times, irritating moments in the franchise.

After getting to know the character better, it’s clear he wasn’t the ruthless villain the Government portrayed. In fact, Xebec seems to have been a target all along, caught in a complex trap designed to eliminate him. He was a constant threat to the World Government, and they ultimately found a way to remove him. The ongoing flashback continues to reveal shocking truths about that terrible day, information that was previously hidden. During the turmoil at God Valley, *One Piece* reveals a surprising detail about Imu that only Xebec discovered.

Despite being a fantastic game, *Dead Space* also highlights a missed opportunity. After only two follow-up titles, the series was unexpectedly stopped, and the skilled studio that created it, Visceral Games, closed in 2017. Potential sequels were scrapped, and a franchise that could have become as successful as *Resident Evil* never reached its full potential. It’s hard not to think about what *Dead Space* could have achieved with a different set of circumstances, and to remember both its successes and its unfulfilled promise.
