The Best Gender-Swapped Comic Book Characters
Every once in a while, comic book characters are in for a serious makeover, whether it’s because sales are dragging, or there's been a fundamental change in the comic book universe that requires men to be ladies (it happens) or just simply because someone got bored and drew Batman with boobs.

‘Frankenstein’ - The Best Sci-Fi Zombie ‘Walking Dead’ Story Of Them All
“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of yours, more horrid even from the very resemblance. Satan had his companions, fellow-devils, to admire and encourage him; but I am solitary and abhorred.'

What Your Favorite Stars Wars Characters Eat for Breakfast
Star Wars is known for being groundbreaking and innovative in many, many ways, but I think it’s safe to say that delicious intergalactic cuisine is not one of them. From those nasty space frogs Jabba slurps up to that fish stick thing Yoda finds in Luke’s mess kit, most Star Wars food looks pretty unsavory. Exceptions: when Darth Vader shows up on Cloud City, he appears to be seated at a banquet table of acceptable looking dishes, and the granola bar stick that Leia shares with Wicket looks ok. Also, try to honestly tell me that you've never wanted to try blue milk (my research tells me it’s actually Bantha milk, which I think just put me off the idea forever). Generally speaking though, I think the characters from Star Wars would be thrilled to try more palatable foods from our world if they had the chance. Here’s what some of your favorites and mine might eat for breakfast on an imaginary vacation to planet Earth.

So You Loved The Undertaker? Meet The Supernatural Stars of Today's WWE
Whenever you grew up within the long (long) career of The Undertaker, you probably thought he was pretty cool. Heck, you most likely thought this even if you were an adult. The Undertaker’s gone through a few different phases of his character over the years, but, through everything, he’s always stayed cool. Apparently the combo of black leather and vague necromancy just has that timeless appeal. And the man can roll his eyes right back in his head ---- c’mon, that’s pretty impressive all on its own.

Richest Comic Book Characters
Calculating who the richest comic book characters are can be extremely difficult. The wealth of some of these characters would need to be adjusted for inflation. For others, their true worth has never actually been mentioned. Because of this, accounts of each character's wealth tend to differ. With this in mind, this list of the richest comic book characters appears in no particular order.

The Funniest Star Wars Parodies, Spoofs, and Sketches
When it comes to Star Wars humor, there is seriously a LOT to choose from. Robot Chicken Star Wars, Jeffrey Brown's Vader's Little Princess and Darth Vader and Son, and a plethora of hilarious Star Wars t-shirts didn't even make my final cut (but go check them out too). The short and long videos, Twitter accounts, comedy sketches, and art that you'll see below are my favorites because they keep the spirit of the canonical films without taking things too seriously. Some are new on the scene, some are old classics, but each of them is another great way to enjoy the best movies ever made.

The Best Mobile Augmented Reality Apps
While the hysteria that is Pokémon GO only began a few short months ago, it’s trending power has significantly lessened since then. While still more popular than Tinder, and once surpassed Twitter in daily active users, it’s not surprising that a fad that came on so quickly would loose it’s steam in the same way. Despite its drop in success, the game has only helped fan the fire of augmented reality.
