  Comic Co-op

  Super-heroes alone can move mountains. What if some of them could team up?

Much prior to the PS3 and online gaming, in fact, even before the Internet and the television, there was a common interest that kept a lot of teenagers busy - comic books. Even though comics are a less chosen form of entertainment today, no one can take away the fact that that's where the legendary heroes like Spiderman, Black Panther, Wonder Woman, Scarlett Witch, and many more came into being. Don't worry, this isn't a blog entry, nor is it a futile effort to sell my collection of comic books.

I recently saw a new trailer for an EA game called Army of Two, a game that will test one's skill as a team member. The trailer showcases how one team member helps another to overcome obstacles. It made me wonder, if the same could be done with super-heroes - two very competent heroes put together in a game that is well designed. Even though there have been many games based on super-heroes, none of them have been exceptional. Marvel has released two games in their "Ultimate Alliance" series, the games although well received, still lack punch.

I am listing a few combinations of super-heroes from both, Marvel and DC comics, and one from India that I believe would make a great force, and at times even an indestructible one. Let's see if these combinations impress you, or can you think of better ones?
