This article examines seven DC Comics heroes whose reputations were damaged within their own stories, and explores whether those characters were ever successfully restored to their former glory.

You know, I’ve been thinking about Nicolas Cage and his time as Ghost Rider. Apparently, he’s totally cool with the fact that his version isn’t connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was asked about it recently, and he was pretty direct – he admitted it’s a separate thing, but he doesn’t really care! He even said something amazing: ‘I don’t need to be in the MCU, I’m Nic Cage.’ It’s just a testament to how confident and unique he is, honestly. He doesn’t need a franchise; the franchise needs him.

The manga artist regularly updates fans on social media, often posting new character art for special occasions. This Valentine’s Day, she shared a beautiful illustration on X (formerly Twitter) featuring Hak and Yona, a popular couple from her series. The artwork shows them bundled in winter clothes as snow falls, with their companion, Ao, nearby. It’s a sweet scene of Hak leaning on Yona, emphasizing their close bond, and fans loved it! The post quickly went viral, gaining thousands of likes as excitement builds for the next season and the development of their relationship.

With each new Nintendo console, a new Paper Mario game appears, consistently being a fan favorite. However, many fans believe the series peaked with its first two installments, and subsequent games haven’t lived up to that standard. Paper Mario: The Origami King showed promise, but the recent success of the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake makes it clear what players want. If Nintendo releases a new Paper Mario game on the Switch 2, it needs to recapture the magic that originally made the series so beloved.

The final episode of Disney’s popular cartoon, Gargoyles, aired on February 15, 1997. In the 78th and last episode, titled Angels in the Night, Xanatos surprisingly helps Goliath and the Manhattan Clan escape a dangerous trap set by John Castaway and the Quarrymen. This not only saves the gargoyles, but also reveals the Quarrymen’s true intentions, leading the city to finally recognize the gargoyles as the heroes they are and fully accept them. While the ending was positive, many fans felt the series ended prematurely.

We’ve gotten our first look at Michael Mando returning as Scorpion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! The new marketing for Spider-Man: Brand New Day features his costume, along with appearances by Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, and Spider-Man villains Tarantula and Boomerang. While Scorpion hasn’t traditionally been a major villain – until he discovered Spider-Man’s identity through Norman Osborn and formed the “Sinister Twelve” – it looks like he might be getting a bigger role in the franchise this time around.

I recently saw that the anime Marriagetoxin, created by Joumyaku and Mizuki Yoda, has a confirmed release date! It was originally planned for sometime this spring, but now they’ve announced it will premiere on April 7th. With so many new anime coming out this spring, this is definitely one fans will want to remember and check out.

Pokemon Pokopia will let you play either by yourself or with friends. I recently had a chance to try both ways, and even though I usually prefer playing alone, I was really surprised by how fun the multiplayer mode is. If you enjoy playing cozy games with others, Pokemon Pokopia is definitely worth checking out.

Here is a look at the first 10 members of the Avengers, ranked by power.

It’s tough to say which Spider-Man movie costumes are the best – everyone has their favorites! But it’s easier to point out the least accurate ones, since we can directly compare them to how Spider-Man looks in the comics. We’ve revisited some of the most popular movie costumes and ranked them based on how closely they match their comic book counterparts.
