25 Comic Characters Who Deserve a Modern Game #5 – #1

The wielder of the power cosmic is far mightier than most give him credit for. Dude's got all sorts of energy manipulation powers, not to mention enhanced strength and agility and the ability to survive in nearly any environment, including black holes! As Silver Surfer you'd fly through space, tracking down Galactus, duking it out with his heralds as only a former herald can.

Most iterations of the fastest man alive have a tendency to be show-offs — perfect for a stylish action game! Defend Central City against the likes of Captain Cold, Reverse Flash, and a dude with boomerangs. Even the most well-armed of thugs would barely stand a chance against a man who can move at the speed of light, so most of The Flash's game wouldn't be about defeating your foes, it'd be about doing it in style. Move at super-speeds to generate cyclones, suck up the badguys and dump them in a lake. Snap your fingers at the speed of sound and knock a guy unconscious. Or, if you're not feeling particularly clever, you could just punch your enemies at like, ten-thousand punches a second. That works too.

Yes, Sonic is a video game character. He's also had a long-running comic book, however, and this new Sonic game would be based on that continuity rather than his video game continuity. There'd be Snively, Robotnik's sniveling sidekick, and Sally the Squirrel. Many modern Sonic fans lament the over-inclusion of Sonic's many pals, and to combat this, Sonic the Hedgehog: The Comic Book: The Video Game would include all of them. Ever single Sonic character ever to grace screen or page would be crammed into this game, making it a non-stop rollercoaster of pointless blast processing cameos.

Iron Fist: martial arts master. Luke Cage: invulnerable and super strong. These two heroes have managed to blend the usually-free field of superheroics with the always-paid field of private detecting. They're just like any other detectives, but when things get rough, they get rougher. As either hero you'll traverse New York, taking on cases and getting to the bottom of things, which generally means punching someone in the face. Grab some friends and play as both Luke Cage and Iron Fist, as well as several other Heroes for Hire, like Ghost Rider, Deadpool, and The Hulk.

Wonder Woman is arguable the most famous superheroine around, and is also arguably the most famous superhero to not have gotten much multimedia exposure. Sure, there was a Wonder Woman TV show in the '70s (and a dreadful attempt to do a modern show created by David "Ally Mcbeal" Kelly), but where are the Wonder Woman movies and video games? A Wonder Woman game, in particular, would give fans a chance to explore the Amazonian warrior's world, and face the horde of mythological foes featured in her recent comics. Sure, she's mostly known for her lasso, but Wonder Woman is a skilled weapons master, capable of wielding any blade or bludgeon, so we'd probably get to see her using all kinds of magical armaments. Enchanted shields, flaming swords, and, oddly enough, magic guns. The blend of kickass modern/ancient weapons, mythological monsters, and stylish hero would be like Devil May Cry and God of War had a glorious baby, one that we would pre-order right this second if we could.
