10 Potential Superhero Video Games (And Who Should Make Them)

10. The Question: Team Bondi/Rockstar

Okay, I know I'm already off to a bad start here considering that the studio in question technically doesn't exist anymore, but you know, these things happen, and I'm sure Rockstar have enough talent internally to supplant what Team Bondi accomplished with L.A. Noire.

For those who don't know, The Question (Vic Sage) is this sort of philosophical crimefighting journalist who really made a name for himself under Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan in the 1980s. It's likely that most will be familiar with wonderfully peculiar conspiracy-laden antics of Jeffrey Combs' character from Justice League: Unlimited, but for today's sake, we're going to opt for the source material here.

Much like Batman, Sage is a detective. And, like The Dark Knight, he's also pretty handy when it comes to fighting hand-to-hand. Both of these elements were represented (some better than others) in L.A. Noire, but what would be really awesome here would be if a mixture of Noire and The Warriors coalesced to create the perfect Question title. Rockstar's oft forgotten adaptation of the seventies cult classic really nailed a decent combat system, so to see that paired with Bondi's interrogation system (albeit a much improved one), could make The Question a must-have Triple-A release.

Despite the fact that this'll literally never happen, it's obvious to me that Rockstar's talents would be best suited to tackling the faceless avenger.

Well, he's not an actual Avenger, but you catch my drift.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
