I ask the PCG staff a regular Weekend Question and post the answers on the site. If you'd like to throw in an answer here, I'll squeeze the best into the finished article!
This week the question is: Which underappreciated comic book characters deserve their own game?
The newly announced Marvel's Midnight Suns may feature the big-name likes of Captain America and Wolverine, a hero who is on almost as many teams as Beast—canonically a member of the X-Men, Hex-Men, Extreme X-Men, X-Factor, X-Club, Defenders, Avengers, Secret Avengers, SWORD, and, oh yeah, the Illuminati—but it also gives Magik, Robbie Reyes, and Nico Minoru from Runaways a rare opportunity to star in a videogame. And even most Marvel tragics hadn't heard of the original Midnight Sons before Firaxis mentioned they inspired this new game.
Point is, while Batman and Spider-Man star in strings of games, other characters wait for their turn. And not just superheroes. We've had videogames about the likes of Bone and Scott Pilgrim, and let's not forget Garfield Kart. Who else deserves a game?
