Everyone loves a superhero. Fighters of crime that have taken an oath to justice, braving the odds even when the odds are never in their favor, they have long been idolized in popular media. There has been a wealth of movie adaptations in recent years of famous comic book series, many of which have been re-made multiple times. Blockbuster films like Iron Man 3, Wolverine, Thor, Spiderman, Transformers and Batman have had a profound effect on American society. That being said, it is no wonder why game developers have worked hard to keep current with these titles.
If you have an iPad, there are a few superhero games worth checking out. Fun to play and true to their origins (albeit with unique and creative twists), these iPad games continue to top the download charts and are frequently played by both children and adults alike. Without further ado, here is a list of some of the greatest iOS superhero titles to date!
