Superheroes

Shield. Sword. Shuriken. Bandai’s latest Manga Realization action figure is an armored samurai version of Captain America. The action figure is nearly 7″ tall and comes with four swappable hands and a star logo that doubles as a shuriken.

Wonder Woman leads the charge, the Flash is too young for this sh*t and Aquaman does the Bryce Harper move in our latest look at Zack Snyder’s Justice League. We’re not sure why they still look up to Superman after Dawn of Justice though.

“What were you the god of again?” Thor, the Hulk and another familiar face must team up to stop Hela, the goddess of death, from destroying all of Asgard. At least they got snazzy haircuts before all hell breaks loose.

To follow up on his awesome superhero suit from last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Conan O’Brien teamed up with West Coast Customs to create a very special vehicle for his alter ego to fight crime in. We suppose it’s only fitting the car had to be pushed onto the stage.

SPOON! The second live-action reboot of Ben Edlund’s hilarious 1990s animated superhero show is coming to Amazon, and we’re pretty excited based on the pilot. Tune in on 8/25/17 for the first six episodes in the misadventures of our blue hero and his trusty sidekick Arthur.

“Peter loves being Spider-Man, but he doesn’t love being Peter Parker.” ScreenPrism contrasts the approaches of the three modern Spider-Man movie adaptations while breaking down the symbols and philosophies of Marvel’s teenage icon.

VariantComics shares their favorite alternate comic book versions of Shellhead, including the zombie Iron Man, the Green Lantern-Iron Man hybrid and the Ghost Rider-Iron Man combo. The House of M Iron Man does look dope.

The not X-Men are coming. ABC and Marvel teamed up for a TV series about the Inhumans, a race of genetically modified super humans led by Black Bolt, who almost never speaks because the sound of his voice is incredibly destructive. Premieres 9/29/17.

Hot Toys continues its Batman Arkham collection with a sixth scale action figure of Batman: Arkham Knight‘s titular nemesis. Aside from an array of weapons, the 13″ tall figure also comes with an alternate head and armor parts so you can turn it into the Red Hood.

Spider-Man strikes a deal with the Kingpin to take down bigger fish. Arkham games meet Uncharted‘s cinematic action and quick time events in this exciting gameplay video for the still unnamed PlayStation 4 exclusive Spider-Man game.

Disney XD teamed up with Passion Paris to create a series of fun ’60s style animated short films starring Marvel’s size-changing superhero Ant-Man. The short films’ retro look matches well with their lighthearted tone.

Hot Toys’ sixth-scale action figure is based on Webhead’s high-tech costume in Spider-Man: Homecoming. It comes with an alternate unmasked head, five pairs of hands, four pairs of eye pieces and more. The Deluxe version comes with a yellow blazer and blue hoodie.

The best there is at what he does. Kaiyodo’s 12th scale (6.1″ tall) Amazing Yamaguchi Wolverine action figure is based on the most badass X-Man’s ’90s incarnation. It comes with three heads, seven hands, two sets of claws and of course a cigar.

Set in the Marvel universe – specifically a world with the X-Men on it – Bryan Singer’s The Gifted is an upcoming FOX TV show about a lawyer who specializes in putting mutants away, only to discover that his teenage children are mutants themselves.

Wonder Woman and her insignia are often adopted by people fighting for recognition and equality. And for good reason. Kaptainkristian traced the origins of the superhero to remind us that Diana Prince was born from a progressive and optimistic (albeit egotistical) mind.

“If you’re nothing without this suit, then you shouldn’t have it.” Spider-Man: Homecoming appears to be a reverse origin story: young Peter Parker already has super powers, but not a real reason or appreciation for what it means to be a hero.

Hot Toys’ 12″ action figure gives us an in-depth look at Peter Parker’s homemade suit in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The figure comes with three different eyepieces, an unmasked Tom Holland head, four pairs of swappable hands and spider-web effects.

While we got burned by Zack Snyder’s last DC Comics film, we’re hopeful that the teamup of Bats, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and The Flash will result in something more magical. The first full trailer certainly doesn’t seem as dreary and humorless as Batman v. Superman.

Yup, another superhero origin story. But we have to hand it to DC for putting together compelling trailers for Wonder Woman, which follows the princess of the Amazons, and her rise to become a hero for all of us. We’re also excited that Patty Jenkins (Monster) directed it.

YouTuber Yoko Higuchi shares what is surely just one of the thousands of inevitable online tributes to Hugh Jackman and his 17-year stint as Wolverine. Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt is the slow motion of soundtracks, but if you watched Logan you know that the song is a great fit.

(PG-13: Language) The merc with a mouth drops by to remind us of his existence with this hilarious parody of a famous superhero trope, a Stan Lee cameo, a pint of delicious ice cream, some fast moving smallprint, and more snark than you can shake a stick at.

Instead of dwelling on the fact that most of Hugh Jackman’s 17-year stint as Wolverine was wasted on bad movies, IGN chose to sift through the wreckage to piece together the feral X-Man’s history as told through the films.

“All you do is yell at each other. You’re not friends.” Groot says hi, Gamora channels Marvel vs. Capcom, Drax kills a spaceship, Rocket laughs maniacally, and Peter meets someone special in the first full trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

We’ve gotten to know the gods of the Marvel multiverse. Now Variant Comics tackles the deities of DC Comics. While Superman might be the ultimate force of good, morals mean nothing to the characters in this list.

FX’s new superhero show Legion is off to a promising start. If you’d like to know about the source material of this extremely powerful but schizophrenic mutant, Variant Comics has you covered. Find out about his past, his bizarre end, and some of his thousands of powers.
