One of Green Arrow 's weapons is powerful enough to defeat almost the entire Justice League--and it's not a trick arrow. Oliver Queen, alias Green Arrow, has been one of DC Comics' key heroes ever since their days as National Allied Publications, created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp in 1941. Initially appearing in  More Fun Comics  #71 and best known for a popular 1970s revamp by Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams in Green Lantern/Green Arrow , he has since featured in a variety of both solo and team books. Known as much for his deep left-wing convictions as for his Robin Hood-inspired persona and equipment , Green Arrow is regarded as one of the most developed characters of the DC Comics roster, with a large number of deep personal relationships and involvement in a number of fan-favorite story arcs. Ollie, however, has his own method of taking down the Justice League, and it's not even technically a weapon. Oliver Queen is, in addition to being a wealthy busines

Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) has many names and titles in The Sandman which reflects how the lord of dreams is viewed by various cultures and peoples. Netflix's The Sandman is the long-awaited adaptation of Neil Gaiman's classic DC Comics graphic novels, and Gaiman is producing the series along with Allan Heinberg ( Wonder Woman ) and David S. Goyer ( Man of Steel ). The Sandman season 1 adapts the first two volumes of Gaiman's comics, Preludes and Nocturnes and The Doll's House . When Netflix's The Sandman begins, Dream is captured by a British mage named Roderick Burgess (Charles Dance). The self-styled Magus actually intended to capture Dream's older sister, Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste), but he snagged the master of dreams instead. After being held prisoner for over a century, Dream escapes and begins a quest to rebuild his shattered realm, the Dreaming, by reacquiring the tools of his office - his ruby, his helmet, and his bag of dream sand

The new She-Hulk trailer hints that the MCU’s second mutant is right around the corner. In the absence of any concrete plans for an X-Men movie, there’s been a sense that it could be years before Marvel takes its next step toward introducing the X-Men. However, it may not be long at all before the next mutant arrives in the MCU. The MCU delivered a big shock when it unveiled its first mutant in Phase 4. The Ms. Marvel finale confirmed that none other than Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan is the MCU’s first mutant hero. Obviously, she’s just the first of many. What’s not clear, though, is how long it will take for more to show up. After all, the MCU’s only confirmed mutant-centric project is Deadpool 3, and there’s still no word on when it will release. As a result, how Marvel plans to continue its mutant setup is a major MCU mystery and one that could potentially take years to unfold.

After recently launching out of Early Access on July 14, PowerWash Simulator   may be a Game of the Year contender. From its Early Access launch just over a year ago, the game was fairly popular with Twitch streamers, giving them a relaxing task to do while talking to their chats. Now that the game has had its full-fledged launch, it seems the concept is catching on with others as well. While many games are action-oriented and aim to get a player excited, PowerWash Simulator offers digital cleaning satisfaction . Instead of wiping out hoards of enemies or exploring a vast new world, this new indie allows players to clear grime off of surfaces from backyards and playgrounds to a Mars rover. It lets players get all the satisfaction of power washing, but without any of the inconveniences, like having to pay for new supplies or any of the other monotonous tasks that come with creating a cleaning business. This aligns PowerWash with the Truck Simulator series of games, allowing players

The fusions between Goku and Vegeta are one of the most recognizable elements of  Dragon Ball , but  Naruto and Sasuke managed to top any fusion with their combined power in   Boruto . Though Dragon Ball- esque fusions aren't really a thing in the ninja world,  Naruto 's sequel briefly introduced a similar concept to incredible effect. Living up to its title as Naruto's Next Generations ,  Boruto follows the children of Naruto and his friends. The series' first arc saw the titular Boruto enter the chunin exams before the insidious Momoshiki arrives to abduct Naruto. The Ōtsutsuki succeeds, taking Naruto to a newly built  Dragon Ball: Tree of Might -esque Chakra Tree so he can steal the Seventh Hokage's abundant chakra and form a new chakra fruit. In response, Sasuke, the four other Kage, and Boruto all launch an assault on Momoshiki. They initially make some headway in breaking through Momoshiki, but the villain pulls one more trick out of his sleeve. Momoshiki

The creator of Spawn , Todd McFarlane , has a specific line in mind whenever he considers the main idea of the character and his series. Although Spawn is best remembered and most closely associated with being Detroit's Lt. Colonel Al Simmons, several characters have taken up the mantle of Spawn. Daniel Llanso, Ken Kurosawa, and Jim Downing are other notable names to have taken up the mantle of being a hellspawn of the earth. When a story as richly complex as Spawn features multiple protagonists over a period of time, it makes it difficult to tightly tie the series into a singular core theme or idea when it can't be connected strictly to a core protagonist. Thankfully, there is no better source for key context on Spawn's main theme than Todd McFarlane.

Maxim Baldry, who is set to play Isildur in Amazon’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power  opens up about how season 1 sets up his character’s tragic destiny. In 2017, Amazon acquired the television rights to The Lord of the Rings from the Tolkien estate for a record-breaking $250 million. Five seasons are planned for this epic, though Prime Video has only officially ordered two so far. Set during the Second Age of Middle-earth, the events depicted in The Rings of Power will take place thousands of years before the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films directed by Peter Jackson. Played by Harry Sinclair in the prologue of Jackson’s version of The Fellowship of the Ring , Isildur, son of Elendil, was the King of Arnor and Gondor, and the distant ancestor of Aragorn. Fans of both the books and the films will know that Isildur was the man responsible for cutting the One Ring from Sauron’s hand with the shards of his own father’s sword. When pressed with the decision to destroy the

John Carter was initially supposed to be a movie trilogy, but the sequels never happened — here is everything we know about John Carter 2 and 3 's unrealized story plans. With Toy Story 's Andrew Stanton at its helm, Disney's John Carter  movie  adapts Edgar Rice Burroughs' pulpy sci-fi novel , A Princess of Mars. The movie does an incredible job at building a rich, mythology-fueled interstellar world where a brooding cosmic conflict becomes the backdrop of romantic developments and promising CGI-fueled action scenes. Considering that it has all the markings of a potential franchise, it is not surprising that director Andrew Stanton wanted to move it forward as a full-fledged fantasy movie series. John Carter centers on a titular Civil War veteran who mysteriously finds himself on Mars. As he explores the planet's desolate surface, he soon comes across strange fantastical creatures and also learns that he possesses the ability to defy Mars' gravity and mak

While Iron Man using the Infinity Gauntlet is an iconic moment in the MCU, in the comics it just proves how big of a hypocrite Tony Stark actually is . When the Avengers stop the villain Hood from collecting all the Infinity Stones, Iron Man briefly holds infinite power in his hand. His declarations at that moment, when compared to his future actions, show that Tony is Marvel's biggest hypocrite. The Avengers got their first experience with the Infinity Stones during the iconic  Infinity Gauntlet saga, when they found themselves in the middle of a war for absolute power over the universe, involving Thanos and Adam Warlock. Sometime after these cosmic events, the Illuminati, a secret cabal of the most influential superhumans on Earth, decided to collect the stones to keep them safe from evildoers. However, the villain Hood accidentally learned about their existence and poured all his resources into finding all the Infinity Stones. This forced the Illuminati to reveal their secr

Warning: Spoilers for Ms. Marvel episode 6 Ms. Marvel’s post-credits scene quietly set the stage for two huge Fantastic Four villains to join the MCU. Captain Marvel’s shocking cameo in Ms. Marvel episode 6 has massive implications for the MCU’s future that extend beyond Phase 4. What happened to Kamala and Carol suggests that Marvel is on the cusp of introducing a major corner of the Marvel Universe into the MCU. The events of the Ms. Marvel  finale may be relevant to multiple MCU projects. The most obvious ones are naturally The Marvels and X-Men . Since it was an unexpected stepping stone toward the MCU’s first X-Men team, Bruno Carrelli’s mutants tease is understandably getting the brunt of the attention right now. In dropping this reveal, Marvel has made Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan its first mutant hero while also laying the groundwork for how the X-gene works in the MCU. Ms. Marvel also set up Kamala’s highly anticipated team-up with Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau. Cap

The DC Universe's most terrifying villain,  Darkseid , is about to get the most brutal prehistoric redesign in DC Comics history. Darkseid is perhaps the most notorious villain in DC's many years of publication. Questing for the Anti-Life Equation, this maniacal force is on a constant thirst for power and destruction in a move to expand his throne on Apokolips. He's usually seen as the worst-case scenario for any DC story as he leaves destruction and death in his wake. Now, Darkseid is about to make his latest appearance in a new series that's been considered to be pretty silly and a ridiculous must-read ...yet his new look is anything but.

Despite being one of the hottest titles for the summer of 2022, Shonen Jump has announced that the hit manga RuriDragon will be going on indefinite hiatus. While the announcement suggests the manga will return at a later date, more than a few fans are wondering if this is the last they will see of Ruri Aoki. RuriDragon is the first solo manga series from experienced manga illustrator Masaoshi Shindo . It tells the story of junior high school student Ruri Aoki who one day wakes up to find that a pair of dragon horns have grown out of the sides of her forehead. She's initially scared by the change, as well as shocked by the discovery that her mom knew this would happen one day because her father is a dragon. However, Ruri slowly warms to the idea of being half-dragon, and the benefits it bestows on a teenage girl who previously wasn't the most popular girl in her class but now, as a result of her dragon traits, has become the "big woman on campus."

90 Day Fiancé   star Syngin Colchester recently took to social media to reveal that he's in a new relationship. The announcement comes shortly after Syngin took an Instagram hiatus  after he was accused of allegedly abusing both his ex-wife Tania Maduro as well as another girlfriend he had. However, the South African man claimed that he simply took a break from social media because he found the platform overwhelming. Since Syngin and Tania filed for divorce, the former bartender's followers noticed that he was doing a lot of traveling around the United States, and they suspected he had another serious partner. However, nothing was confirmed--until now. Syngin and Tania debuted in  90 Day Fiancé  season 7, and viewers were taken aback at many different aspects of their story. For starters, the Connecticut woman met Syngin when she flew to South Africa to meet another guy whom she had met on a dating app. However, they didn't get along, so Tania went to a bar and met Syngin

The upcoming Spirit Halloween movie unveils three spooky designs of the possessed animatronic monsters that will haunt one unlucky group of kids. Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd will headline the seasonal project  from debuting director David Poag as the cursed spirit of a wealthy land developer, Alec Windsor, who disappeared long ago. He now haunts the townsfolk every Halloween and will supposedly take residence in a local Spirit Halloween store to torment a group of young kids who stay there overnight on a dare. In the family horror film, Windsor brings the store's iconic animatronics to life to terrorize the children.

There are eight stages currently available in  MultiVersus , and some have variants depending on the match settings and the number of players participating. This fighting game can be played offline and online, and there are various settings to select in order to set up a match. Choosing a stage can be done in custom games, and the map will be selected randomly from the choices that players check off in the menu. Including the variants, players will have 11 different stages to try out in various game types. Unlike the unlockable characters in  MultiVersus , the stages are actually all available at the start of the game. However, the available stages will depend on match settings, so there will be a limited number of options on the stage selection screen after determining the number of players and the parameters for the fight.

The Creed movies helped redeem Rocky's biggest antagonist Ivan Drago , and here's how the forthcoming spin-off can complete his arc. With its cheesy dialogue, MTV-inspired editing and long music montages, 1985's Rocky IV is the odd man out of the series. That said, it's also wildly entertaining and features some of the most iconic moments of the franchise. This includes the tragic death of Carl Weathers' Apollo Creed , following a bruising match against Russian boxer Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren). Drago himself was a walking and (occasionally) talking symbol of the Soviet Union, though the sequel gives some insights into his mindset. Rocky IV was also a star-making role for Lundgren, who went on to other action favorites like Showdown In Little Tokyo and Universal Soldier . The Rocky franchise received its first spin-off with 2015's Creed , which follows Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed, who tries to follow in his father's footsteps as a fighter. Th

Valerie Bragg's time on Love Island USA was not her first time in the spotlight, as her name was on every Outer Banks fan's tongue at the end of 2021. The islander had one drunken night out in Orlando, Florida, in late December and somehow ended up the bane of Outer Banks fans' existence when she hooked up with the show's star Chase Stokes. Chase plays the show's main character, John Booker Routledge, mostly known as John B, and his character is in a relationship with Sarah Cameron. In real life, Chase was dating the actress who plays Sarah, Madelyn Cline. Unfortunately, the two went their separate ways in November 2021, and on a night out in Florida, Valerie allegedly became the actor's rebound .
