It’s common for characters to become increasingly powerful, but sometimes they become too strong, forcing writers to reduce their abilities to maintain a balanced story. We’re taking a look at seven Marvel characters who have actually become weaker over time. While they may have been incredibly powerful at one point, their current versions wouldn’t stand a chance against their former selves. These heroes and villains were once at the peak of their power, but now they’ve faded from their former glory. Let’s dive into how their power levels have changed.

Shows like Altered Carbon, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and even Black Mirror have introduced many people to the world of cyberpunk. If you’ve enjoyed those and want to explore this dark, futuristic genre further, here are five series we recommend.

Okay, so we’re still waiting on a release date for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, which is kinda frustrating, but the developers at Gameplay Group International are doing a great job keeping us hyped! They’ve been dropping awesome gameplay trailers featuring all our favorite characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.

After a small alpha test, they’ve announced a global playtest, so anyone around the world can jump in and try it out.

During the week of February 2nd through 8th, Independence Day ranked as the seventh most popular movie on Netflix in the U.S. It outperformed titles like Homefront, The Rip, and Kpop Demon Hunters to achieve this position. This marked the first time Independence Day appeared in Netflix’s top 10.

The second season of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End will begin a significant new story arc with Episode 6, but fans will have to wait a little longer to see it.

With such a large and important body of work, choosing the best John Hughes movies is tough. However, we’ve put together a list of 5, ranked for you. Just so you know, this list only includes films where he both wrote the script and directed the movie.

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!
