It’s tragic that Thor has witnessed the deaths of his entire family and won’t be joining them in Valhalla anytime soon. This is because his incredible power – and his ability to wield weapons like Stormbreaker that can kill gods – keeps him bound to the realm of the living. Despite being Asgard’s strongest hero, Thor isn’t the most powerful character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here are four Marvel characters who actually surpass him in strength.

Several reports suggest Nintendo plans to limit the number of games from other companies (third-party games) available when the Switch 2 first launches. This could be why we haven’t seen announcements for some expected games yet. Digital Extremes, the studio behind *Warframe*, only recently received development tools for the Switch 2. Hopefully, other developers are getting their tools soon, as the Switch 2 could be a great console for online games like *Warframe*, *Fortnite*, and *Apex Legends*.

Both of these characters appeared in previous Marvel movies, but they hadn’t really gotten a chance to shine until *Thunderbolts*. In fact, some fans might have forgotten about them – that sometimes happens in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and while it’s disappointing, we’ve become accustomed to it. Luckily, that won’t be a problem with these two anymore.

Early 1990s Western animated shows moved away from being simple toy advertisements, but often went overboard trying to educate viewers. They were packed with public service announcements and lessons, leading to unusual mixes of educational content, helpful messages, and superhero adventures. No show exemplifies this better than *Captain Planet and the Planeteers*.

The demo showcases the first level, called Necropolis, where players control Low and Alone as they explore crumbling buildings while trying to avoid Monster Baby. The demo is expected to last around 30 minutes, and you won’t be able to carry over saves from other game files. It’s currently unclear if the demo will allow players to team up online.

After the Yōtei Six brutally killed her family and left her for dead, Atsu dedicates herself to revenge, tracking down each member of the group. To succeed, she must find clues to their locations and hone her skills, developing a powerful arsenal. While she’s skilled with a katana, she also learns to wield a variety of other weapons, including dual swords, the odachi, kusarigama, yari, and even firearms.

As of today, *The Conjuring: Last Rites* has earned $332.6 million worldwide. This already makes it more successful than other horror films like *Weapons* ($259.5 million) and *Final Destination Bloodlines* ($310.4 million). *Last Rites* is quickly gaining on *Sinners* ($366.6 million) and is poised to become the highest-grossing horror movie of 2025. With only $34 million separating the two, it’s likely *Last Rites* will soon surpass *Sinners*.

The anime adaptation of *Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP* was originally planned to start airing in October, but it’s been postponed. While there’s no new release date yet, the creators say the delay is to allow more time to improve the anime’s quality before it premieres.

Following its theatrical release, *The Fantastic Four: First Steps* will be available for purchase on digital platforms starting September 23rd, 2025. This is roughly two months after its cinema debut, mirroring the release schedule for other Marvel Cinematic Universe films in 2025, like *Captain America: Brave New World* and *Thunderbolts*. Currently, *First Steps* is also nearing a box office milestone – with a worldwide gross of $518.8 million, it’s only a few hundred thousand dollars behind the 2015 film *Ant-Man*, which earned $519.3 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

What sets *A Discovery of Witches* apart is its consistency, which is rare in today’s television. It’s frustrating to start a show you enjoy, only to have the quality decline in later seasons, but that doesn’t happen here. The first season earned a remarkable 94% audience score on *Rotten Tomatoes*, and while subsequent seasons saw a small dip, it consistently remained above 80% (nearly 90% overall). The show keeps viewers engaged from beginning to end, so you never feel like your time was wasted. It’s not perfect, but its reliability is a major strength in a TV world where consistency is often lacking.
