Kryptonite
Probably one of the most well known comic book items, even among those who don’t frequent comic books. Kryptonite; it's a song, an analogy, but more importantly it's Superman’s only known weakness, at least green Kryptonite is his weakness. Kryptonite takes many forms in the comics, some of which we get to see play out on screen in the form of Smallville (the best Superman adaptation that exists I don’t care). With all the changes DC comics has gone through and the many colors Krytonite can take form in, all causing different effects, it can get confusing keeping them straight or even knowing what all of them are. So here we go, here is where we break down all the colors and effects of Kryptonite…

The Arrowverse Characters Who Need Their Own Series
The Arrowverse has been the home to many fabulous characters, some of which haven't had nearly enough screen time. It's not that the writers didn't try to do their best by them, it's simply that there is a limited amount of time for the story to unfold per episode.

National Superhero Day 2020
Happy National Superhero Day, everyone. This day occurs every year on April 28. Here’s one fun fact about it: employees at Marvel Comics founded this day back in 1995. The purpose of it was for people to come together and celebrate their fictional or real life heroes. This is the 25th anniversary of the event and I have three superheroes I want to showcase. Whenever I put on a costume, I always feel like saving the world and people. You’re never too old or too young to dress up as your favorite superhero. Currently, we’re going through a health crisis, but this is a perfect day to remind ourselves that there’s always hope and can get through anything.

3 Film Genres That Would Pair Perfectly With Superhero Movies
There’s nothing wrong with a healthy dose of action. I have no doubt that superhero movies, as long as they remain well-written and expertly directed, will continue to fly off the shelves. However, just because people aren’t crying out for something a little different yet, doesn’t mean filmmakers can’t start experimenting early. After all, there were superhero movies before Iron Man (2008), and even before X-Men (2000), we just don’t talk about them much anymore.

Five Films Mutants Could Debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the last decade the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a force more powerful than the Infinity Stones themselves. They have smashed box office records and created perhaps the most complex film franchise in history. But Marvel comic book readers have been waiting this whole time for some of the missing heroes to assemble within the MCU. The most prominent of these characters being the Fantastic Four and the X-Men. Now Disney have purchased 20th Century Fox, it has opened the doors for these characters to finally arrive and join the other heroes and villains on the big screen.

Here are the worst superhero movie sequels so far…

Wonder Woman
The pioneer for female heroes, Wonder Woman was a founding member of the Justice League and made her first appearance in All Star Comics #8 in October of 1941. With her first feature in Sensation Comics issue #1 in September of 1942. Wonder Woman was a consistent presence in the existence of DC comics with the exception of a brief hiatus in 1986. Her character was an early feminist icon holding many feminist ideals and defeating many damsel in distress like tropes.

Scarlet Witch
We all know that I can talk about Scarlet Witch all day, everyday. I will never stop writing articles about how badass she is because people who refute me don’t actually read comic books, or know how to read at all who knows, so here is an even more in depth look at the growth of Scarlet Witch’s powers. The powers of the Scarlet Witch are often overlooked (or dismissed because she didn’t get what comic book nerds would consider overpowered until House of M), the reality is that she was always truly powerful her powers just weren’t clearly defined until closer to the 1980s.

"The Batman" Rogues' Gallery Fancast
Ever since the 2021 Batman movie was announced, the internet has been filled with nerdy conspiracy theories and fan-casts. Every Batman fan has their idea on who should play their favourite super hero's rouges gallery . In my opinion, Robert Pattinson is the dark knight we didn't know we all needed. He has all the characteristics of the classic Bruce Wayne, the strong jaw, full head of hair, not to mention the sex appeal.
