Superfluous joins the Marvel team

2024-04-01

Aaaah, at last, I can tell you about this crazy project that's coming to fruition!

Negotiations had been going on for several months in the greatest secrecy. It's now a done deal, and it's not without a certain pride that I announce today the integration of my Superfluous character into the great Marvel superhero family!

The dazzling success of Superfluous Returnz (so popular that Steam's servers thought it was a DDOS attack several times) has caught the attention of the famous entertainment multinational The Walt Disney Company. Indeed, since its takeover of Marvel in 2009, the company is always on the lookout for new licenses to add to its team, and it was only logical that Superfluous should be included. And I'd like to tell you that with Disney, you're in for a real treat.

So you see, Superfluous is now an Avenger, and you're likely to see him in a whole host of Marvel products, starting of course with the comics:

Sophie is not to be outdone, of course, as she is de facto promoted to the rank of Disney princess:

When we say Marvel, we mean Marvel Cinematic Universe, and you won't want to miss the film adaptation of Superfluous' unnecessary adventures... with the great Ryan Gosling in the title role, no less.

(I don't know if it's the photoshopper or the AI that was drunk, but I think a hand like that needs surgery. As for the squint, I'll keep it: it adds depth to the character.)

Of course, we'll also see this flesh-and-blood incarnation of Superfluous in the Avengers 5 movie scheduled for spring 2026, the first film in phase VI of the MCU. The title will soon be revealed, and I'm giving you a sneak preview: Avengers: Fate of Fochougny.

The shareholders and I are keeping our fingers crossed that you don't throw up from boredom before the release (but then, this ride has been going on for 12 years, so we're not too worried).

(I had to take a guy off the poster to make room for Goslin. But even I didn't know the buffoon's name, so forget it.)

And then, of course, there will be video games. Not sweet, homemade point and clicks, eh, let's stop the childishness: we're talking AAA action games, with big dev teams crunched to the max, cocaine-fueled advertisers, a 5-star budget and 4K graphics that will melt mid-range GPUs as well as your retinas. Here, I don't have any screenshots yet: the dev teams are still trying to figure out how to faithfully model the pouch-front briefs. Especially its deformation when Superfluous jumps: there's some crazy aerodynamics to sample.

($10 million budget well spent)

See you soon, then, for the adventures of Superfluous at Marvel!
