Most fighting game fans remember the impact of Capcom’s Darkstalkers series. While Ryu is incredibly famous, Morrigan and the Darkstalkers games are also well-known within the community. Despite being so iconic, the series hasn’t had a new release in almost thirty years. Now that fighting games are becoming popular again – boosted by better online play, esports, and publisher support – it’s a good time to revisit the series that played a key role in shaping the competitive fighting game scene.

Let’s start with a few guidelines. While many incredibly powerful beings could easily defeat Superman, simply listing them would be uninteresting. This list includes a mix of well-known and lesser-known characters who I believe would offer a compelling fight. It’s important to note that this isn’t about who always wins – Superman is capable of defeating anyone here if he needs to. Instead, this is a look at those who have the potential to challenge him. With that covered, let’s get started!

It’s a familiar habit for devoted fans to pinpoint when a TV show starts to decline, particularly when later seasons are noticeably worse. The shows on this list are prime examples: their first seasons were exceptional, with smart writing and fresh visuals that really captured the public’s imagination. Unfortunately, following that success, later seasons often felt like they were struggling to recapture the same spark.

Okay, so Jagex just dropped a huge plan for the future of RuneScape, and it sounds like they’re really going all-in on turning it into a proper, modern live service game. Basically, they’re revamping a ton of stuff – combat, how things look, how we level up, even player housing – pretty much everything! They’re saying they want to update the game without losing what makes RuneScape RuneScape, you know? The big reveal is going to be at RuneFest 2026, which is happening October 3rd and 4th. I’m really excited to see what they’ve been working on!

Everyone remembers He-Man’s famous catchphrase, “By the power of Grayskull!” He protected Castle Grayskull, a place filled with incredible magical energy, from villains like Skeletor and Hordak. But I’ve always been curious about the castle itself – where did the name “Grayskull” actually come from?

As a huge horror fan, I have to say, Jeepers Creepers: Reborn is a real disappointment. It currently holds a 0% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes – putting it at the very bottom of 2022’s horror releases! And audiences aren’t much kinder, giving it only a 7% score. This movie was meant to revive the Jeepers Creepers franchise, but it just didn’t work. The story follows Laine, who starts having creepy visions connected to the legend of The Creeper while attending a horror convention. It’s been available on Disney+ through the bundle with Hulu, but it’s leaving both platforms on January 26th, and honestly, I won’t miss it.

Generally considered the first first-person shooter (FPS) game, Maze War was created in 1973 by high school students using the IMLAC PDS-1 minicomputer. They quickly added the ability to play between two connected computers and included shooting mechanics by the end of the year. The game even spread to the ARPANET – an early version of the Internet – but was banned at DARPA because players were getting too distracted! While several iterations of Maze War were released, it’s considered a key pioneer of the FPS genre, alongside 1974’s Spasim, which also helped establish important elements of the gameplay.

The newly released video shows more gameplay from the extraction shooter, and it has a refreshed visual style.

The manga magazine Shonen Jump has ended Yuka Kawaguchi’s Otr of the Flame. This clears space for a new series launching next week. Publisher Shueisha has shared initial details about the new series and announced that two more will follow soon. This means fans can expect two additional series to end as Shonen Jump makes room for fresh content.
