Those in the audience old enough to remember a time when comic books and video games were exclusively the domain of the bullied, social outcasts and nerds must be pretty perplexed to live in this day and age.

Today, not only are comic books and video gaming thoroughly mainstream and enjoyed by everyone, but they’re the norm. When was the last time you met someone who didn’t like superhero movies or didn’t have a smartphone on which they could play mobile games?

It’s a bizarre world we live in, but fortunately it’s a great one – one full of awesome video games in the palm of your hand, literally. If you’re a fan of superheroes and mobile gaming then these are three games you absolutely have to play.

MARVEL Contest of Champions

If you’re a fan of Marvel Comics or the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and who isn’t these days?) then this is the ultimate mobile gaming experience for you. Did you love Captain America: Civil War? Dp you think Thor: Ragnarok looks amazing? MARVEL Contest of Champions takes them to the extreme, pitching the world of Marvel’s mightiest superheroes against one another in one-on-one combat.

Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Wolverine, Iron Man, Deadpool and many more of Marvel’s most popular and most powerful characters are taking one another on in a galactic fight. Play your way through a contest mode using your favourite character and try to come out on top, or team up with your friends and form powerful teams just like the Avengers.

They, as well as the X-Men and other powerful teams of superheroes, also have to face down their many nemeses as well as their own allies such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the citizens of Asgard, as well as the “big bad” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos himself.

Superman: Last Son of Krypton

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s an awesome interactive game starring the world’s favourite Kryptonian superhero. Not only is this online slot an awesome mobile casino experience with fantastic bonus features starring the Man of Steel, but it also gives you the chance to win real cash.

The world of online slots is massive right now, and it’s spilled over into the world of mobile gaming for players across the globe. You can play for free or for real money, and it’s possible now to win literally millions in the palm of your hand no matter where in the world you are.

Some people still think of slots as being one-armed bandits in Las Vegas with reels of cherries and sevens but that couldn’t be further from the truth – slots today are fully interactive games with high-quality graphics and awesome gaming experiences.

Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series

There is no movie franchise that speaks to the massive success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe so much as the Guardians of the Galaxy, a rag-tag team of interstellar superheroes who, before the 2014 smash hit movie, were a pretty obscure superhero team even for comic book nerds.

A sentient tree (who says only three words), a gun-toting racoon and more star in the pair of hit movies and now this fantastic game. The Telltale Series gives fans a brand-new story of the galaxy’s most unlikely superhero squadron in their epic adventures from planet to planet.

Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot sail around the galaxy to the beat of amazing music in a five-part series of episodes that puts you in Peter Quill’s shoes, leading the guardians on an original and all new adventure.
