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

The Thing - Flash



The fastest man on the planet joining hands with one of the strongest mortals makes sense, doesn't it?

Flash can outrun anything, and The Thing can demolish anything; Flash is witty, while The Thing is gritty; Flash is always on the move, The Thing hardly ever moves; so all in all, they do make a good team. From a gamer's perspective, I think it would be rather awesome to be able to run like the Flash and to be able to demolish like The Thing. I know, there are more than a few games featuring The Thing, yet none of them are good enough. Both put together in a co-op game will be pretty wild, but I guess the level designers will have to go through hell to design a campaign for these two.

Superman - Mr. Fantastic



The man of steel, invincible Superman teaming up with the smartest superhero will spell doom for the villains. This is a very interesting combination as it brings together the strongest man alive with a man who can solve any scientific propaganda. Considering Superman, regular missions in space for a Mr. Darkseid (his nemesis) with a little help from Mr. Fantastic, Superman could have a much easier life. Again, making them both playable together will require skill and effort, and also luck.

Johnny Storm or The Human Torch - Spiderman



I remember playing a game called The Ultimate Spiderman, a decent game with some very cool concepts. One of the concepts was "Spidey racing" with Johnny through the city. I've always imagined what it would be like to be able to play with these characters in co-op level design. I guess both their abilities will be fun to play with as there can be many possible combinations. I hope some competent game company decides to put them both together in a game that's designed to be fun.

This is just a small effort to reach out to comic book fans all over. We all want our favorite super heroes as playable characters and although Marvel: Ultimate Alliance does give us some options, I personally believe that we can get a much better experience.

Being a big fan of comics I have over the years collected a whole lot of comics including Archies, Phantom, Tarzan Classics, Li'l Abner Classics, Wizard of Id Asterix to name a few. However the other day my nephew happened to leave the asterix collection on the floor and Rocky (my German Shepard) had a blast by tearing it all apart. I went online to purchase a new set of asterix and to my surprise (or call it luck) I got the Tintin collection free of cost for buying the asterix collection on IndiaPlaza. If any of your dogs chews of your books try this link below to find some real cool deals http://www.indiaplaza.in/books/all/ASTERIXTIN/all/the-asterix-and-tintin-collection.htm

"Wolverine is the most agile mutant ever" Nope. Not even close. Beast, Nightcrawler, Toad,...do you even READ comics?

How can u even dream up of teaming up good ol' wolvy with shaktiman??? (its really stupid and lame!) considering they are a class a part...I think he fits in more with batsy...brain and brawns.Anyway its good techtree is coming up with fresh articles for a change and I agree with navneet prakash on the part that batman roxx.However its wrong to say that there haven't been good superhero games...freedom force and marvel ultimate alliance are both excellent superhero squad based titles.Freedom Force is great for the comic relief it provides as well as the rpg elements whereas alliance builds on the x-men legends franchise. On a further note how about having a superhero - villain combination..it would be an interesting approach and provide room for some humour as well...also the gameplay elements could be made very interesting since you would need different playing styles with these characters....think kane and lynch rather than army of two...heres a wacky combo -:joker and wolverine(imagine the possibilities!)

I have a question to you? Why did you team up two opposite characters??? OK they may not have weaknesses but then it would not make them strong right!!! Anyways Good WORK... Continue being creative..

Navneet, I seriously have to say, this was probably the lamest, sucky article i could have ever read on TT. I'm an avid fan of comics and am totally uptodate on these characters. This article really sucks

With all due respect, The Shaktimaan and Wolverine combo is as stupidest as others are interesting. The funny part is true, but I'm a big Batman and Wolverine fan myself and I would hate to see Wolverine teamed up with someone SOOOO opposite of him. Besides any Wolverine fan would know that how Wolverine loves to do things himself (he does get in trouble for his lone ranger style), but at least pair him with someone he would want to ;).
