Comics Any comic-book character that deserves a good game?

[ConanTheDestroyer]

Basically any comic character you feel would be perfect for a game adaptation and how you would approach it particularly which genre you would pick for that character. It could even be a character that already have games but you might not have agreed with the direction they took or maybe want a different spin on the character.

For me it's Silver Surfer since he's my favorite Marvel character. He did get that NES game with the awesome soundtrack but the game itself is quite flawed. I am not against a Silver Surfer game that's a shmup if it's done well provided it depicts his true power and not have him instantly die the second he touches anything.

What characters would you guys pick ?

A sandbox game where you control Butcher and take one of the boys of your choice, listen to a Sup doing something wrong on radio frequency, take Compound V and reach the designated location to beat up said Sup.

The more Sups you beat up, more evidence against the Vault you accumulate until unlock a main mission: beat up a Sup of the Seven.

Very cool, right?

Um... The Boys comic is utter dookie.

Yes, I know the show has its detractors, but... The comic wasn't much better.

I ignore the TV show (I just want a game based on comic book).

Iron Man
Blade
Ghost Rider
Daredevil
Spawn

All great super heroes but not a single good game.

Spawn has about 4 or 5 games. None of them are any good?

I'll throw a bit of a wild card here: Alice Warren from The Walking Dead.

I loved her character arc so much.

A trainee doctor/nurse who does her best to keep everyone alive, who risks life and limb during the war with The Governor (whose side she had defected from), who delivers Rick's daughter under incredibly tough conditions and who's reward for all that loyalty and resourcefulness is a shotgun blast to the head.

I think a game about her would be endlessly interesting.

I know Iron Man had a GBA game that looked cool. If you've played that one what's your verdict on it. I'm curious since I was looking forward to playing that one.

Still think it's a shame that the Daredevil PS2 game that was meant to coincide with the film was cancelled since it looked like it could've been great.

Judge Dredd needs a good FPS, it could be like that recent Robocop game.

Iron Fist and Luke Cage would work great in a beat'em up or God Hand style game. I can add any martial artist character to it really.

This will be corny but I really want a Beta Ray Bill game. There's a story about his search for Odin to forge him a new weapon, this could be a template for a great adventure. I think Beta Ray Bill is cooler than Thor.

I like Dredd vs. Death a whole lot, but a Judge Dredd third person game in the vein of something like James Bond in First Light would be a splendid way to treat 2000 AD's lawman.

EDIT: In fact, Rebellion themselves already gave fellow 2000 AD character Rogue Trooper a similar third person game.

I second this, maybe the sucess of The Boys can open the door to explore Marshal Law in a game, but i doubt it. Lobo and Spawn (both icons of the nineties) deserve a good game:

A Question game based on the O'Neil/Cowan run will be a blast. I remember an old site called vicsage.com who included some screenshots of a nes fangame of the character, maybe i can find something in the Wayback Machine about it.

 

[zombie100379]

the chances of anything at all happening with marshal law are probably zero - the legendary artist who done all the marshal law art - kevin o'neil - died a few years ago and the creator pat mills is in his late 70s now , a film was in the planning stages many years ago with McG attached as director , and then years later dwayne johnson wanted to play marshal law., the character is pretty obscure but may have gotten a slight boost with "the boys" tv show ripping off the idea.

I know, but one can dream, right? I found this about the Question Game:

Here's the proposal:

The family friendly or Riverdale?

Family friendly, Could be a dating/social sim. Could also do a platforming game based on the Little Archie comics which had more adventure themed stories.

I would love a Question game, one that preferably emphasized detective work perhaps. A point and click game would be one approach to take. Though a game with an explorable Hub city also sounds cool though I would want it to be a smaller open world.

I'm not familiar with war child(yet to read it) but it did get me thinking that a game in black and white monochrome style with maybe an emphasis on stealth would be a good fit for the Hunter Rose incarnation of Grendel.

It's just a shitty Mega Man rip off with an Iron Man skin.

Trick answer since it is a comic STRIP character, Haggar The Horrible

Imagine a Nordic God of War parody mixed with Asterix XXL that retains the strip's humor
