X-Force: Concept Art Blows the Lid on the Team's Line-Up!
Fox's X-Force movie may have been slowed down due to the, ah, X-citement for Deadpool, but it looks as though plans are rumbling on in the background. The screenplay from Jeff Wadlow was literally prepared years ago, and he's happily discussed having a five-man team.

Mad Love: Celebrating 25 Loony Years of Harley Quinn with 5 Pieces of Fantabulous Fan Art
In case you somehow missed it, September 2017 marked the 25th anniversary (or birthday) of the DC Comics character Harley Quinn. It's actually kinda bonkers that two and half decades have gone by since Harley's debut on Batman: The Animated Series back in 1992, and that she's since become one of the biggest and most beloved characters in geekdom.

Now that magic and the supernatural are becoming part of Marvel TV and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the door has been opened for more supernatural characters to show up in Marvel films and television series. We'd first heard of magic and the supernatural existing in the MCU when the Doctor Strange film was announced, and now Marvel TV has just featured their first supernatural character in the form of Ghost Rider, Robbie Reyes on the current season of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Over the past weekend, we were treated to tons of footage and promotional images coming out of San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC).

Hulk Vs Wolverine: A Comic Book History Of Claws And Roars!
We all love a good versus fight - from Mortal Kombat to Super Smash Bros. Melee, there is nothing better than seeing two of your favorite characters duke it out on screen. The MCU is no exception, with this year's Captain America: Civil War arguably being one big battle. With most of the Avengers 'all duked out', there must be something more on the horizon though? Enter the 2012 comic-series Avengers vs. X-Men, which even already has its own fan trailer. The story opens a whole world of opportunities in cinema for Xavier's mutants to take on the mighty Avengers. If so, there would only be one battle that everyone would be talking about - Hulk vs Wolverine!

Not-So-Super: Marvel Heroes Without Superpowers, Part 2.
In Marvel's comic world, many heroes have the benefit of being an alien, having powers, or both; however, there are more than a handful of heroes that have proved themselves just as heroic as any superpowered individual on the battlefield. While many of them you may recognize from the movies (Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, etc.), we're also going to take a look at heroes that are not so well-known. I've split this into two articles, due to the surprisingly large amount of civilian superheroes, so be sure to check out Part 1 if you haven't already.
