Explore the very best, strongest, most powerful, and influential superheroes of all time.
Scarlet Witch
Although we have an idea of what the next phase of the Marvel Universe will entail, the details are a bit murky, especially when it comes to the new mini-series events coming to Disney’s streaming service. The only one I am concerned about, however, is the future of Scarlet Witch. My favorite character, one of the most powerful comic book characters ever, and a very easy character to screw up if they don’t handle it properly.

Why Marvel Movies Beat DC Comics Movies
The Marvel movies beat DC comics movies for a variety of reasons. Marvel studios has worked consistently over the years to create superhero movies that fans love, and their dedication to their craft shows. While the DC universe has come out with various movies that have soared to the top of the box office, the majority of audiences agree that franchises like The Avengers are ultimately the movies that are more well-received by fans of the comics and the genre alike. Comic book movies will forever be in competition with one another, and there are some key factors that contribute to capturing an audience; but if you're like the rest of us, you probably agree that Marvel's movie-making ability goes unmatched.

Character Spotlight: The Flash
Okay, the Flash isn't the only one that makes me want to run. Seeing Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible: Fallout, Tropic Thunder) run makes me want to run but I don't think he's even human. I mean, come on, you shatter your ankle doing a crazy jump and the doctors tell you that you gotta stay off of it for six months or you won't walk again and six weeks later, you're running all over the place and doing crazy stunts again like it's nothing. Not only is that dedication, but that's also gotta be some type of stuff that makes you wonder if you're human or not. Shit, I'm getting sidetracked.

Tom Holland Is the Best Spider-Man
The best way I used to put this was; Toby Maguire was a good Peter Parker, but not a good Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield was a decent Spider-Man but an awful Peter Parker. Of course, Tom Holland is an incredible Spider-Man and adorable Peter Parker. Upon further analysis, Toby McGuire is barely passable as Peter Parker and a just awful Spider-Man.

'Civil War'
The MCU has, of course, made many changes to the storylines adapted for the screen. The act of changing a story from one format to another can not be without challenges and of course changes, especially when condensing a Universe-wide series to a single movie.

10 Reasons Why People Love Iron Man
When the Iron Man character was originally created, Stan Lee intended for the billionaire playboy to be one that everybody hated. His unpredictable nature and sarcasm were supposed to be something that fans abhorred, and his virtues were not (and still kind of aren't) necessarily in line with other heroes' at his inception.

10 Reasons Why People Love Thor
If you’ve ever watched any of the Marvel films so far, you’ve definitely noticed Thor and all his glory. Played by one of the hottest superhero actors, Chris Hemsworth, this superhero is absolutely impossible to ignore. Bringing more than just good looks to the table though, he is the God of thunder in tales of lore, has unbelievable cosmic power, and, in every Thor film so far (think Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok), leads moviegoers on epic, action-packed, and entertaining adventures. The reasons why people love Thor aren't really a secret, but you have appreciate what he brings to the Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe at large.

Who Is the Real Reverse Flash for the 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' TV Crossover?
Ever since the show’s inception, The Flash has given us the Reverse Flash from the comics, Eobard Thawne—as played by both Tom Cavanagh and Matt Letscher. That version of the character plagued season one as the big bad, and from there onwards, has made multiple appearances across the entire Arrowverse.

Who Is Captain Marvel?
The buzz from the new movie Captain Marvel, which is hitting theaters March 8th, is just now erupting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Many people who are fans of the Marvel movies, but were never avid comic book readers, may be asking the question, “Who is Captain Marvel?” This is a reasonable question to ask because she has not appeared in any other recent films created by Marvel studios. In fact, this character has yet to be seen at all on the big screen. So who is she? Let’s take a closer look.

'Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe'
All the things we love about Deadpool in a neat disturbing package. Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe has epic fourth wall breaks and all the characters you know and love dead. You would think a mini-series whose main storyline is all the characters dying would be sad and depressing, but in true Deadpool fashion, it's badass fight scenes and comedic timing alleviate the disturbing nature of the content. Add to that, most of the heroes (and villains) die in graphic but ridiculous ways, a lot of them being beheaded.
