Magneto

In one of the most moving graphic novels I’ve read, we come across the Sonderkommando named Magnus and it’s a tale of sadness that spurs the teen to become the anti-hero we know and love. One of my all time favorite characters in the comic universes, Magneto is at once the every man’s hero and a formidable foe. From his early appearances in the 60’s, we’re shown a mutant bent on world domination and as the years have passed, we’ve grown to embrace a mutant who refuses to be a victim again. He has made a base of operations on a friggin’ asteroid (dubiously named Asteroid M), formed the Brotherhood of the Mutants, been rejected by his children (Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch), has ripped the adamantium from Wolverine’s bones and had a small romance with Rogue. As his quest for Homo Superior to reign over Homo Sapiens, Magneto teamed up with various villains, including Hitler colleague Red Skull. After being one of the many mutants who have lost their powers during Scarlet Witch’s last twist to change reality, Magneto regains them during the Son of M series and has currently gone “public” with his identity in the safe haven of Utopia.

Magneto’s powers include magnetic manipulation, creation of magnetic fields, magnetic flight, super intelligence, and is skilled at strategy.

A good story arc with Magneto is Magneto: Testament or if you’d like something current, try out House of M.

Best Magneto quote in my opinion: “I have offered them hope and truth, opportunity and accomplishment. I will continue to do so for all mutants I deem worthy and I will not let your X-Men stop me again.” (more…)

Seriously. What the hell!?

As we all know, I spend many an hour playing Words With Friends researching random things and I like to share the things I find. Today is going to be a little different as I’ve truly come across some videos that have made me whisper, ” What the fuuuuuuuck…” in horror at my monitor. Today, I’ve decided to share, nay GIFT you all, with 3 videos filled with intrigue and wonder! (more…)

Prometheus Trailer Leaks!!!

Enjoy it while you can.  Looks awesome.  That is all.

Please enter the url to a YouTube video.

You’re Welcome.

 

UPDATE: You can also view the trailer here.

How was everyone’s Thanksgiving?  Good, bad, boring, exciting?  Hopefully it was great and you are sick of seeing your family and you ate so much turkey that even seeing the non-related country on a map makes you want to vomit.

But remember, love your family!  Even if they are jerks it could always be worse.  For example, you could have your entire family killed and you could be framed for the murder of the emperor.  You’ve been warned!!!

Anyways, here is a new video for Asura’s Wrath, the game where you play as Asura and kick everything’s ass.   There is no gameplay footage of the fights, but a whole lot of story so check it out if this is a game that’s peaking your interest.  Asura forgot to tell his family he was thankful for them at Thanksgiving dinner and see what happened to him?!  You’ve been warned!!! …Again!!!

It’s common knowledge that I love movies of all kinds. Indies hold a special place in my heart and this one is hopefully, gonna be no exception. I present to you Boy Wonder, a tale of vengeance. Don’t confuse this brutal tale with Batman’s red and green clad sidekick; you might be heavily surprised.

Please enter the url to a YouTube video.

IMDB summarizes it as “A young Brooklyn boy witnesses the brutal murder of his mother and grows up obsessed with finding her killer. Thus begins his life as a quiet, straight-A student by day and a self-appointed hero at night. But what is a real hero? And who decides what is right or wrong? As the boundaries blur, Sean’s dual life wears on his psyche and his two worlds careen dangerously close to colliding. Like a graphic novel you can’t put down, Boy Wonder challenges morality, distorting perceptions of what is right and what is justified, as it races to its shocking conclusion.”

It’s not on Netflix just yet, so I’ll be making a trip to the local video store and see if they carry it. If YOU’VE seen it, how was it?

Capcom Japan has released a new batch of screen shots for their upcoming title, Street Fighter X Tekken. The images provide more of an insight on the character customization mode. One can alter a character’s skin tone, hair color, and even the character’s clothing. (more…)
