Listen in as Scott Thrower from Fairy Tales for Unwanted Children joins the show to talk Marvel Super Heroes in War of the Gems!

We finally get to one of my favorite characters, The Hulk. He’s the strongest around, except when he’s not. And you better hope that you don’t have to spend much time as Bruce while playing because, well, then he’s not Hulk.

So you've got Spider-Man, a character with so many games out at this point that I'm too lazy to count. You've got the X-Men, who have games out but they mostly suck. But both of them are beloved franchises, both helped to save Marvel. And you've got Adam Higgins from Odd Dad Out, who admittedly has not directly saved Marvel. Put them all together and what do you get? Let's just say that the LJN rainbow strikes again. Learn such things as:
