When it comes to the character of Spider-Man, the iconic Marvel Comics superhero has had plenty of interpretations in games, sometimes in an ensemble cast of other characters. Given the excitement surrounding Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has been praised for its depiction of Peter Parker and his alter ego, it’s worth checking out some […]
Much attention is paid to the Green Lanterns of Earth, but while Kyle Rayner, Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Jo Mullein, and the rest of the crew regularly get a spotlight, most of the Green Lantern Corps is actually made up of aliens from other planets and sectors.

Superman is the hero that started it all. Over the years, he’s ended up fighting the greatest threats to the multiverse, both on his own and alongside his friends in the superhero community.
