To 18-year-old Ren, college was a salvation. It was a way for me to move out of my family’s home and guarantee a job. To 21-year-old Ren, college was a weight around my neck.

What’s supremely interesting about Invincible‘s case, however, is that, unlike the mythologies of the big two superhero empires of Marvel and DC, Invincible has an ending. Indeed, there are no reboots or continuity resets for the Grayson family; once the story wrapped back in 2018, it was well and truly wrapped for good.

10. Catwoman

Catwoman sounds like a dream gig. She mostly works solo, leaving henchmen like me to sit around and collect a paycheck. She’s also one of the most iconic female DC characters of all time. That’s something that you want on your resume. The problem with Catwoman is that she’s not really a villain at all. Sure, I get that her morally grey character choices give her “complexity” and such, but it doesn’t do good for workplace morale watching your boss flirt with the guy who broke both your legs the week before.

As one can see in X-Men ’97, not only do mutants have different powers, but they also have very different levels of power. For example, Gambit (A. J. LoCascio) is quite powerful, boasting the ability to charge objects with pure kinetic energy. However, it’s easy to see that his mutant abilities can’t generate the same level of sheer power as Cyclops’ (Ray Chase) eye beams, which are estimated to be more potent than even the blast of an atomic bomb. Similarly, while multiple members of the X-Men could hardly contain an unruly crowd of protestors, Magneto (Matthew Waterson) is able to halt the crowd within minutes.
