The past couple console generations have seen truly spectacular solo superhero video games \u2014 but they mostly all star Spider-Man or Batman. <\/p>\n

Comic books are so full of engaging heroes, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has proven that people are willing to ride with lesser-known heroes. So I think it\u2019s about time more superheroes get the starring spotlight in video games. We\u2019ve seen superheroes pop up in crossover games, like the Injustice titles, or various Lego games, but there are plenty of comic book heroes who deserve to lead their own AAA blockbuster games, Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man<\/em>-style. Here are a few with great potential.<\/p>\n

Daredevil<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Man Without Fear is having quite the moment after the recent success of Daredevil: Born Again<\/a><\/em> brought the hero firmly back to the MCU in a starring role. He\u2019s also had several years\u2019 worth of excellent comic book runs, and is often regarded as the most consistently well-written Marvel hero. Though he\u2019s popped up in several Marvel games and his own movie tie-in game (back when those were about the only superhero games we got), he hasn\u2019t led a AAA game yet.<\/p>\n

He almost did, however; in 2023, a prototype surfaced of a 2004 beat \u2018em up Daredevil game, Daredevil: The Man Without Fear<\/em>, which you can still find on Hidden Palace<\/a>. Unfortunately, it was cancelled, and Daredevil hasn\u2019t headlined his own game since. With the success of the Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man<\/em> and Batman: Arkham<\/em> games, a Daredevil game seems like a no brainer; the character could easily lead a game that\u2019s an amalgamation of Insomniac and Rocksteady\u2019s franchises in terms of those studios\u2019 approaches to gameplay and storytelling. If a Daredevil game got greenlit in 2004, I have a hard time believing one couldn\u2019t<\/em> get the greenlight in 2025 after the boom in popularity for the character.<\/p>\n
