Absolute Wonder Woman is essentially the same character as the original Wonder Woman. While their backgrounds and feelings might differ slightly – Absolute Wonder Woman grew up in Hell, for example – their core personalities and goals are identical. You could easily switch them in a story, and the only noticeable changes would be their appearance and connection to Themyscira. Unlike other ‘Absolute’ versions of characters which are often reimagined, Absolute Wonder Woman feels like a natural continuation of the original, and that’s what makes her so compelling.

As a huge fan, I always say that Metal Gear Solid is one of the best games ever made! Everyone loved it when it came out, and for good reason. The stealth was incredible, the story was gripping and full of action, and the cutscenes were just amazing. But there’s this one part that still blows my mind: the Psycho Mantis fight. He somehow reads your memory card! If you’ve been playing other games on your PlayStation, he’ll actually mention them, which is so weird and breaks the immersion completely. The only way to beat him is to unplug your controller and plug it into the second player slot – it totally throws him off and turns him into a regular boss instead of this creepy guy who knows your gaming habits!

I recently discovered Herdling, a low-key game released in August 2025 that flew under the radar – I almost missed it myself! But after playing, it quickly became a favorite. It’s a cozy game that does things differently from typical life simulators. Developed by Okomotive, Herdling offers a delightful atmosphere, relaxing gameplay, and a lovely visual style. What truly sets it apart, though, is its surprisingly touching story, which is why I consider it the best cozy game of 2025.

On the latest episode of the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, Tom Henderson revealed information from an internal Ubisoft announcement about several canceled games. These projects were at different stages of development, with some still known only by their code names. Besides the already announced cancellation of the Assassin’s Creed multiplayer game, Ubisoft also scrapped two other games that were part of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.

A Reddit user recently posted some promotional artwork for the upcoming Brand New Day storyline. One image shows Spider-Man and Hulk (wearing his classic shorts!) in the front, with shadowy figures of villains – probably Boomerang, Scorpion, and Tarantula – visible in the background. Other images give us a good look at Boomerang and Tarantula’s costumes. Plus, a user named SM Vision shared a photo of Marvin Jones III as Tombstone lifting Spider-Man during a fight. You can see all the images below!

The new Marvel show, Wonder Man, is enjoyable, but it’s quite different from the comic book version of the character. The show centers around Simon Williams, an actor trying to find success, and his unlikely partnership with Trevor Slattery. They’re both hoping to get cast in a Wonder Man movie being made within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There’s just one problem: using superpowers while working in Hollywood is against the law.

Okay, fellow cartoon lovers, this is awesome news! I just read in The Hollywood Reporter that Turner Classic Movies has officially secured the rights to air classic Looney Tunes shorts on regular TV. And it’s a long-term deal – six years, to be exact! TCM is basically becoming the permanent home for these cartoons. They’re kicking things off this month with a bunch of Bugs Bunny shorts – 45 of them! – and he’s going to be their ‘Star of the Month.’ Seriously, I’m so excited to be able to catch these on TCM!

The sci-fi series Extant, starring Halle Berry, will be removed from Netflix on February 18th. Originally airing on CBS between 2014 and 2015, the show followed an astronaut’s return from a year-long solo space mission. Alongside Berry, the cast included Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon, Michael O’Neill, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (in Season 2). Though critically and popularly well-received, CBS cancelled Extant after two seasons due to falling ratings, expensive production costs, and changes in the storyline. The series was executive produced by Steven Spielberg.

Kenjaku started planning the Culling Game over a thousand years ago, and we now know even Sukuna is involved. His ultimate goal is to evolve cursed existence by combining Tengen with every person in Japan. To do this, he needs a massive amount of cursed energy, and the Culling Game – which pits current and former sorcerers against each other – is designed to generate it. While the season has been hinting at this event, the latest episode has officially launched the game, and it’s already clear this arc will be more complex and impactful than anything we’ve seen before.

Doctor Manhattan is incredibly powerful, but he’s not invincible. Characters from both Marvel and DC comics could potentially defeat him. We frequently see even gods lose battles, so it’s plausible some of these heroes could win using their abilities and smarts. Here are seven Marvel and DC characters who might be able to overcome Doctor Manhattan, something many believe is impossible.
