10 Comic Book Characters That Deserve Their Own Major Video Game
10. Aquaman
Despite being one of the world’s most recognisable superheroes, Aquaman’s powers have been perceived as quite feeble in comparison to other members of the Justice League and has resulted in him being the butt end of many jokes over the years. This led to DC trying to rebuild his image as a darker, more brooding character, who struggles to balance his responsibilities as a hero with his duties as King of Atlantis.
But thanks to the latest Aquaman film, the character has enjoyed a new surge in popularity, and it’s possible that a high quality video game starring the King of the Seven Seas could build on this new found popularity.
The game could see Aquaman square off against some of his arch enemies, such as his half-brother Orm, Black Manta and the terrorist group O.G.R.E while he tries to maintain peaceful relations between humanity and Atlanteans.
But it’s the gameplay that could offer a truly unique experience. Underwater sections could add an interesting level of verticality to level design while making the most of Aquaman’s ability to breathe underwater. This could also be used in combat, as players could fight a variety of enemies both on land and at sea.
