As a long time comic book fan who identified as more of a DC guy than a Marvel one (prior to the abomination that is the nu52), I have to say these are the pride of Superheroes RPG collection.
A beautiful, well handled look into what was and may have been, complete with stats.
It's 360 degrees of adventure as young Marvel fans follow Thanos, Ultron, and other villains of the Marvel Universe as their evil plans are thwarted at every turn by Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and their heroic friends! Kids will enjoy spinning and turning their favorite Marvel villains and super heroes upside-down and all around in this high-flying format as each villain is defeated just in the nick of time by Spider-Man and his friends!
The action/adventure genre contains some of the most enjoyable stories in cinema, and has given fans some truly iconic heroes. However, the precursor to the genre was the hugely popular selection of pulp fiction that dominated the early twentieth century. These stories often focused on worldly adventures, the search for lost treasures or artifacts, and battles with villains like the Nazis and Soviets.
The Librarian franchise is a relatively lesser-known action/adventure series comprising a trilogy of films and a TV series. It follows a secret society of protectors of history, dubbed the Librarians. These heroes are often dispatched into the world to retrieve ancient artifacts.
The Librarians use their extensive resources to beat other parties to lost treasures, preventing some nefarious schemes from coming to fruition. Though there are several heroes across the films and TV series, the original trilogy documenting Flynn Carsen's adventures is the best.
Tarzan was among the very first heroes created in the pulp genre. The hero has undergone a great deal of change since his creation by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912. The hero is now more often considered a Disney hero, protecting his jungle friends from outside threats.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was one of Alan Moore's best-received comics after he left the big two publishers, Marvel and DC. The writer reimagined a series of classic literary characters, such as Captain Nemo and Allan Quartermain, as pulpy adventure heroes.
The idea proved brilliant in comics, despite its movie-going down in flames. The idea didn't die with the first film's failures, as its heroes made for an excellent team-up. In The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a great adventure team is waiting to be revived.
Lara Croft is something of a rarity as a female adventure hero. The genre, typically dominated by Dwayne Johnson, Harrison Ford, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Angelina Jolie joined the ranks of legendary adventure heroes. She made her debut in 1996's game Tomb Raider.
Lara Croft took inspiration from pulpy adventurers, both from comics and film, like Indiana Jones, Doc Savage, and Harry Steele. The treasure hunter and archaeologist Croft has battled a variety of villains to reclaim lost artifacts and is basically a modernized look at classic adventure.
The Rocketeer protects the skies over Los Angeles from threats like Nazis and the mafia. Much like his Golden Age inspirations, his main villains were gangsters and Nazis, and his stories incorporated many of those classic themes, like airships and historical figures.
Indiana's altruistic motivations to recover artifacts for preservation in a museum have helped show people what an adventure hero should be. His story has been echoed throughout the adventure genre since, with plenty of fellow heroes battling Nazis and exploring ancient mythology.
The premiere season of Below Deck Adventure just began, but fans can already sense who the heroes and villains of the charter season will be. There are no familiar faces aboard the yacht Mercury, so everyone has a chance to win or lose fans with their first impressions. This season is unlike any other Below Deck, as they traded in warm beaches for chilly fjords in Norway, but the crew has a lot to live up to from other seasons. Fans have already picked out a few heroes and villains of the season, and they are undecided about the rest of the crew.

Here we have the daring heroes and blackhearted villains of the Indiana Jones saga of films, directed by Steven Spielberg and James Mangold, and produced by George Lucas.Feature films
- Raiders of the Lost Ark
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
- Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Indy's on-again, off-again girlfriend (and eventually his wife). She plays a prominent role helping him in his quest to find the Ark of the Covenant. Over two decades later, they reunite for another quest to find the Crystal Skull of Akator; where it's revealed that she and Indy had conceived an illegitimate son, Mutt Williams.
- Action Girl: Actually helps in Indy's battles, quite unlike the Damsel in Distress staple to "normal" pulp adventures. She actually manages a higher body count than Indy in Raiders, especially when she is trapped in the flying wing, sees a truck of soldiers approaching, and immediately gets into the gun seat and mows them down.
- Adventure Duo: With Indy in Raiders and Crystal Skull.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Indy, of course. She punches him in the face when he first shows up in her bar.
- Bound and Gagged: In both movies she appears in. Well, the first two.
- The Bus Came Back: After Raiders, Marion is neither featured nor even mentioned in any films until Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Probably because she was too busy raising her and Indy's son. Admittedly, Temple Of Doom takes place before the events of Raiders, so she'd still be in Nepal, while her absence in Last Crusade isn't explored until the 4th film.
- Damsel in Distress: Marion has that unusual ability to attract danger to herself that places her in many dangerous situations, luckily Indy is able to bail her out of them.
- Deadpan Snarker: She has her moments of snark, mostly directed at Indy's unusual mannerisms.
- Defiant Captive: She must have a lot of nerve to face a sadistic torturer like Toht and blow smoke in his face. And if you look carefully when she comes off the Nazi sub, her guard has several bandages, his arm's in a sling, and is clearly being very careful about keeping her covered.
- Disney Death: In Raiders, Indy thinks she's dead when the truck she was thrown in while she was in a basket explodes. But he finds her alive at the Tanis site since they have switched baskets.
- Drives Like Crazy: In Crystal Skull she not only ends up taking part in the chase by driving one of the amphibious cars used by the Communists, she ends up driving one of them off a cliff with the rest of the Jones family in it. All the while smiling as she does.
- Establishing Character Moment: She gets two, the first in Raiders of the Lost Ark when she out drinks a guy twice her size in a shot for shot contest. The second is in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. As soon as she's introduced we don't see her throughout most of the movie and even Mutt was a little vague about her full name. Upon re-introducing her we still don't see her, but we can hear her defiance prior to meeting Indy again the first time in years. Of course unlike Raiders, she's not surprised Indy showed up this time.Marion: Get your hands off me you rotten Russkie son of a bitch!!! [emerges from tent, sees Indy] ...Indiana Jones. 'Bout time you showed up.
- First Girl Wins: Given the backstory in "Raiders", Marion WAS Indy's girlfriend before Willie. It was the reason why Indy and Abner had a falling out. Although this relationship takes on a darker tone when one realizes that Indiana and Marion's relationship started when she was 17 and he was 27. When they meet again, ten years later, Marion chastises Jones, stating, "I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it!" Jones shows little remorse, and simply replies "You knew what you were doing." It gets worse when you realize that George Lucas originally wanted her to be 11 when they first met.
- Grief-Induced Split: Dial of Destiny reveals her marriage with Indy fell apart after Mutt's death. They reconcile at the end of the movie, though.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Wins a drinking contest in her bar, then later holds her own against Belloq - who grew up on the high-proof spirits made by his family.
- Heroic B So D: Described as being inconsolable with grief after Mutt's death. At the end of Dial of Destiny she comes back to Indy - clearly still grieving, but now determined to fix things with her husband.
- Hot-Blooded: A rare female example.Marion: JONES, DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ME HERE BY MYSELF!
- I Have Your Wife: She's used as a hostage in Crystal Skull. The Big Bad in that somehow tracked her down, kidnapped her, and delivered her to the prison camp to get Indiana to cooperate. Mutt was willing to sacrifice his life to help Indiana withstand torture, but he and Indiana wouldn't risk his mother's life.
- The Lad-ette: Drinks a lot, punches people, and fits perfectly with the boys.
- Lady Swears-a-Lot: There isn't a lot of swearing in the series, but an awful lot of it comes out of her mouth.
- Ms. Fanservice: In Raiders especially in her white dress and bare feet. Even in The Crystal Skull she hasn't lost her beauty.
- Outliving One's Offspring: As revealed in Dial of Destiny, her son Mutt predeceased her, dying in Vietnam.
- Slap-Slap-Kiss: More like "kiss-slap-slap-kiss" since she and Indy were an item long before she was angry enough to slug him.
- Took a Level in Badass: She starts out capable enough but grows more and more confident as Raiders goes on, and by the time Kingdom rolls around, she's casually driving amphibious trucks off of cliffs to escape pursuers.
- Tsundere: Throughout Raiders. In Crystal Skull, during a heated argument with Indy, he comments that all the women he has been involved with since Marion had one problem, "They weren't you, honey". Cue Marion immediately grinning like a schoolgirl.
- What the Hell, Hero?:
- She is not pleased that Indiana romanced her when she was just a kid; 17 to be precise. Neither was her father, given he went Papa Wolf on finding out. During the movie, she keeps calling out Indiana for being pragmatic to the point of keeping her tied and gagged in a Nazi war camp and only forgives him when he keeps risking his life to rescue her.
- This is why she didn't tell Indiana that she was carrying his child. She was mad that he left her without even a customary phone call to go off on the next adventure and find another romantic dalliance; a man like that wouldn't make a good father. When they reunite and are arguing while tied up, Marion tells him that if he had cared, he wouldn't have left in the first place.
- What You Are in the Dark: She carries Indiana's son, but doesn't tell him because Indiana left. Her primary focus is raising "Mutt" and ensuring he has a better life. Mutt, for his part, understands when he finds out because he doesn't understand why a man would leave a woman he claims to love.
- When She Smiles: Marion often has a somewhat cynical outlook, but when she smiles it's downright heartwarming.
