7 DC Villains Who Are Nothing Like Their First Appearance

Let’s explore seven of DC’s most compelling villains and how they’ve dramatically changed over time.

Toonami to Kick Off 2026 With Major Change to Schedule

Move Over Zatanna and John Constantine, This Is DC’s Best Magical Hero

Look, when it comes to DC’s magical heroes, everyone talks about Zatanna and Constantine, but honestly, neither of them holds a candle to Doctor Fate. He’s one of DC’s oldest characters, and he really became a legend when he joined the Justice Society. What’s cool is the ‘Doctor Fate’ mantle has been passed down through generations, which is a great storytelling device. There are a lot of powerful magic users in the DC universe, but Fate just feels different. He fills a similar role to Marvel’s top magic users, but he does it with a unique style that makes him, in my opinion, one of DC’s most underrated heroes.

8 Years Ago, Marvel Fans Got Their Biggest Wish for the MCU (But It Still Hasn’t Happened Yet)

A similar opportunity arose in the movie Deadpool & Wolverine. Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy, and the writers realized they could fulfill many fans’ hopes by including Henry Cavill as a version of Wolverine.

However, this brief appearance feels a bit frustrating for Marvel fans, who have been eagerly waiting for eight years to see their biggest wish – a Wolverine appearance – finally come true.

As the show’s description cleverly puts it, it’s about “the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.”

We Need a New Game in This Great Pokemon Spin-Off Series That Ended 25 Years Ago

The original Pokemon Stadium first launched in Japan in 1998 as Pocket Monsters Stadium. Two years later, it became available worldwide on the Nintendo 64 and quickly became popular thanks to its 3D battles and fun mini-games.
