Arguably one of the most famous film franchises to have ever graced the silver screen, the many Marvel Universe heroes in existence are loved for all sorts of different reasons – on film and in the comics. These reasons range from being humorous, relatable, or powerful, to being misunderstood, angsty, or having the most interesting/complex backstory.
Amongst die-hard fans, the most common question asked about the superheroes is which one is most likely to beat all of the others in a fight, or which of the other Marvel characters is most likely to be able to lift Thor’s hammer, Mjollnir, right?
But what if we asked you which of the Marvel Universe heroes would make great gamers? Who would you choose? Well, we’ve got our own suggestions to answer that question. Read on to see what we think!
Iron Man
Known for his love of technology, supreme confidence, and advanced intelligence, we think it’s fair to say that Iron Man would be a bit of a whiz at computer games – regardless of their premise or difficulty level. He also loves a bit of a puzzle or challenge, fancying himself as capable of winning anything he sets his mind to, so we reckon that, even if he weren’t initially very skilled at a certain computer game, he would keep practicing until he could effectively beat it!
Add to that his nerdy love of tech, and we’re sure that Iron Man would be ‘geeking out’ over the various consoles available – potentially even designing and making his own! Maybe he’d create a new suit that could defeat any game, on any console? Who knows!
Vision
A hero possessing the Mind Stone, Vision pretty much has an advantage when it comes to problem solving, tactical play, and puzzles – which would make him a darn good gamer. He’d be able to figure out the best and quickest ways to complete even the most complex platformer-style game, identifying the best positions for optimum speed and success in games like Mario Kart, and would be able to defeat dungeon-based epics that involve puzzles to solve.
Wanda Maximoff (The Scarlet Witch)
Wanda’s witchy powers are bound to be more than a little useful when it comes to computer games, surely? Even if she didn’t possess any natural skill to help herself along, she could always use her powers to manipulate either the game, the console, or her co-players to ensure that she achieves success; you may call it cheating but, if no-one else knows, then really, it’s just winning…right?
Rocket Raccoon
Another techy whiz with a plucky attitude, determination, and a bit of a mean streak, Rocket has the exact kind of disposition needed to help him be a successful gamer. He’s adept with a variety of fiddly gadgets, enjoys high-adrenaline fun, and, in some cases, is willing to sacrifice his teammates for his own success (unless, of course, that means sacrificing loveable Groot) – exactly the kind of self-serving attitude lots of games require for success! We also think this attitude would make him an excellent player of the casino games available on Jackpotcitycasino.com – albeit slightly addicted to them.
Jean Grey
An ability to read minds at will and bend the very fabric of reality is practically guaranteed to equal gaming success. And, if you consider her sheer destructive capabilities when angry, you’d be too scared to even try and challenge her at any form of game – let alone beat her – that she’d dominate any game she decides to have a go at. Just be careful she’s not playing on your favorite console…
Shuri
The Black Panther’s incredibly intelligent sister can create just about anything – including the most powerful gadgets formed of the most powerful material (Vibranium) known to the Marvel Universe. So, if she were to put her excellent mind and tweaking fingers to the art of gaming, we’re pretty certain that not only would she love it, she’d also be absolutely brilliant at it!
