Of all superheroes, Batman seems to have spawned more characters that are dark reflections of him than any other. Sure, Superman has Bizarro, and Spider-Man has Venom, but Batman has a legion of the them: Killer Moth, Bane, Hush, Owlman (the Lincoln March one), Wrath, Prometheus.

The Hulk and his allies fight kaiju sized monsters in the city of Phoenix Arizona.

Zach Rabiroff: Welcome back to another installment of Time Immortal, the internet’s…

It’s a little bit Moby Dick, a little bit Jaws and a whole lot of Logan in Wolverine #19.
OK, let me see if I’ve got this straight: Sophie is the one currently starring apart from her sisters in NYX but who is still very much in on their current plot alongside Hellion and Empath. Esme is the one who went nuts on Kick and appeared to be in love with Magneto … or…
