10 Video Game Franchises That Deserve Their Own Netflix Series

City of Heroes subscribers received a free monthly comic with their game subscription, and this could easily pave the way for a storyline if the game ever became a series. The comics followed a fairly typical array of superheroes as they fought a team of villains, with occasional help from player-made characters.

Likewise, a Netflix series could draw on player-made inspiration for the sake of world-building. For instance, some players on the Virtue server acted as "med-bots" or "taxi-bots" who rarely adventured or joined parties, but merely patrolled the more populated areas to help those who needed healing or teleportation services.

While not generally featured in the comics, these supportive coalitions certainly gave City of Heroes the sense that it truly was its own unique world, rather than simply a love letter to the comic book worlds of Marvel and DC.

Lastly, the series could bring to screen something that no video game adaptation has truly captured: the joy of cooperative play. Especially during the holidays, City of Heroes often featured events involving huge monsters that required dozens of heroes to take down.

If the series included even one moment in which its literal city of heroes had to band together for one big fight, a battle on a scale that even Avengers: Endgame couldn't deliver - this one moment would justify the entire series. Best of all, if a Netflix series truly succeeded, maybe City of Heroes would finally be revived and we could all band together to save Paragon City once again.
