DC Legends and 4 other superb super hero games

DC Legends is still flying high in the App Store top ten as people clamor for its super hero lore mixed with RPG combat that's swift and satisfying. It's something different in this age of brawlers and collectible card games, afterall. Yet the game's been out for about a week now, so perhaps you're looking for your newest fix. Lucky for you, there's a wealth of other fine comic book super hero games on mobile whether you prefer DC or Marvel. Let's take a look at four standouts.

LEGO does super hero games just as well as DC and Marvel themselves. These games are brimming with humor both kids and adults can enjoy, offering a more whimsical, but no less action-packed take on your favorite super hero stories. With around 100 playable Marvel characters, you'll be able to play around with many familiar super powers as you fight to take down Loki and his host of fellow villains.

This mobile variant on the original console game is a fine brawler in its own right. Arkham Origins casts you as Batman himself as you swipe and tap to duke it out with gangs of goons and even some of Gotham's more infamous baddies like Bane and Deathstroke. Fighting is fun and responsive, and there're plenty of collectibles to discover as you try to customize your Batsuit.

Total Mayhem is a call-back to the Spider-Man comics with its hand-drawn art style and blocky comic book text. The story is based on the comic books, too, but tells a satisfying story of its own. Players control Spidey, maneuvering cleverly designed platforming puzzles and quick time events. It's everything a mobile Marvel game should be.

Batman has quite a presence on mobile. This second Batman offering has you tapping to scrap with assorted henchman and iconic Batman villains who are on the loose. You can track them from the rooftops before swooping in and taking them out with your fists or a number of fun gadgets at your disposal, like electrically charged bat gloves.

With DC Legends the range of super hero games at your disposal is wider than ever. You can try out Legends rich RPG stylings or venture into one of the Batman beat 'em ups, or try the more classical variation of Spider-Man in Total Mayhem. They're all solid choices -- the rest is up to you!
