While characters the likes of Spider-Man, Batman and Wolverine get all the love these days in video games, there’s a huge list of characters that would be able to deliver wonderful video games. In this exclusive Old School Gamer Magazine list, we give you five amazing characters that would be the face of amazing games.
Wonder Woman: Why doesn’t she have her own game? She’s got everything, successful TV shows, films and a comic book linage very few characters can compare to. Channeling games the likes of Tomb Raider and God of War, a Wonder Woman game would rule.
Ant-Man: He’s got a Zen pinball game, but he deserves a full console adventure. Just with the ability to change sizes alone, you’d have a gameplay mechanic that could create a ton of interesting opportunities in the adventure genre.
Moon Knight: A beat-em-up with a character that has multiple personalities? Why doesn’t this exist?
The Goon: Eric Powell’s zombie-filled, buddy noir would be a video game you wouldn’t forget.
Stray Dogs: Cmon, you’d play it. Don’t lie.
