8 Best Superhero Video Games That Didn't Come From DC Or Marvel

After turning down his girlfriend’s horny advances like any sensible, pepperoni-faced, and realistic teenage geek surely would, Joe becomes a superhero as his partner is abducted into a movie to fulfil the role of the damsel in distress, i.e Mary Jane.

As the heroic Joe, you cripple more enemies than Batman in this side scrolling beat-em’-up. With the power to turn into Neo, you slow down time so that you can dodge attacks, repel enemy bullets, and have your ferocious punches and kicks always connect with the skulls of enemies.

Its cel-shaded art style and vibrant colours brighten the mood, there are welcomed puzzles that stop things becoming stale, and its celebration of geek culture is a love letter to fans of comic books, video games, and movies. It also has boss battles that range from fighting a superhero with a beer belly to fending off a literal batman, and – with it being a Capcom game – you can of course replay it in the skin of Devil May Cry’s Dante.

The only logical reason for this cocky superhero’s absence in Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite is that the developers were afraid he would show up the entire roster of Thor, Captain Marvel, and Mega Man.
