Over the years, many characters in Marvel Comics have taken on the role of Captain America, or something very similar. While heroes like Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson are famous for being Captain America in the main Marvel universe, there are other, lesser-known versions that are also fantastic. Here are five of those heroes – Captain Americas from alternate timelines and realities who deserve recognition. We’re leaving Bucky and Sam off this list since their stories are already well-known. These characters might be new to you, and they’re definitely worth checking out.

The gaming world recently lost two influential people who will be remembered by fans for a long time. One was a key innovator in the development of video game consoles, and the other played a huge role in bringing the Castlevania series back to popularity in the 90s and 2000s. Though their names might not be instantly familiar to everyone, both men have earned all the recent praise and tributes they’ve received.

The gaming industry is shifting, and it’s not really about the games themselves. A worldwide shortage of key components used to build consoles is forcing companies to rethink their plans for the next generation. This means gamers will likely have to wait a long time for new consoles, and one company might be especially affected.

The story really kicks off with the death of Dunk’s pal, Rafe, and how he’s saved by Ser Arlan of Pennytree, but honestly, what’s happening around that is just as compelling. It starts with Dunk and Rafe robbing a guy on what looks a lot like the Redgrass Field – the site of the final battle in the Blackfyre Rebellion. Though it’s not exactly red or grassy, the details strongly suggest it’s connected to that rebellion, and I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more of that history unfold as the story goes on.

Kevin Costner’s Western film, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, will be leaving HBO Max on February 22nd, giving fans only a few days left to watch it online. This movie is the first in a planned four-part series that Costner directed, co-wrote, produced, and starred in. It tells the story of the American West over 12 years during and after the Civil War. Chapter 1 takes place in 1859 and follows several characters as they deal with life in the Midwest during a time of national division. While the film didn’t perform well in theaters—earning only $38 million on a $100 million budget—it’s the only Horizon movie released so far. Chapter 2 has been filmed and is awaiting release, and the final two parts are still being developed.

The new series Neighbors, a collaboration between A24 and HBO Max and executive produced by Josh Safdie, feels like a reality show mixed with a documentary. However, all the conflicts shown are real, not staged. The show focuses on dramatic and often unbelievable neighborhood disputes across the country, offering a glimpse into the lives of everyday Americans. Neighbors doesn’t offer easy solutions or take sides; it asks viewers to decide for themselves who to support, which has frustrated some audiences who prefer a clear resolution.

The Marvel Universe has a huge number of characters, and adding more to the game could make the roster even better and introduce exciting new ways to play. Some characters’ powers could lead to unique gameplay mechanics, while others would simply fit the game’s anime style perfectly. Here are some Marvel heroes who would be great additions to Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

It’s not surprising that Capcom seems to have solved a major problem with third-person shooter games. Their impressive 2026 lineup includes several titles in the genre, and leading the charge is Pragmata, a truly unique sci-fi game with the potential to redefine how we experience them. While some might dismiss its gameplay as just a neat trick, I believe it’s far more than that – it genuinely elevates a genre that has been feeling stale for a while.

Some lines are so well-known that people would immediately recognize the source, even if they haven’t watched the show. While not always traditional catchphrases, these lines are undeniably memorable.

Doctor Doom is arguably Marvel’s most compelling villain, and it’s exciting to consider how the Marvel Cinematic Universe will portray him. Luckily, Marvel has a rich history of Doom stories to draw from. While fans often recommend titles like Infamous Iron Man and Secret Wars as preparation for future movies, there’s one essential story many newcomers won’t be able to find: Books of Doom, written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Pablo Raimondi. Unfortunately, this 21-year-old series is currently out of print, meaning fans hoping to truly understand Doom will miss out on a crucial piece of his backstory.
