As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to unspool across the decades, we decided to revisit the best superhero games on PC. The term 'superhero' is arguably a bit nebulous in games—you could say you're playing as a superhero in Dishonored or Mass Effect, for example, which isn't totally inaccurate. But sometimes you just want to slide into some spandex and dispense a simple, punch-based justice on the world's purple-and-green-clad evildoers.
Here, in the interest of integrity—and the timeless joy of cape-wearing—we've focused on games that evoke superhero fiction in their imagery or themes. We've also included a non-superhero game that's fantastic for mods, and a cool themed quest from another non-superhero game.
