On the flip side of Horizon's coin, you have God of War. Once upon a time, this classic PlayStation 2-era series was hailed as genre-defining before it slipped into being dated. Over the past 15 years, the phrase "God of War-clone" went from a term of endearment to almost an insult. It seemed like Kratos had swung his Blades of Chaos for the last time following the middling reception of 2013's God of War: Ascension.
The being formerly known as Magic Man was once one of the most powerful wizards in the world.

Much as the Feywilds mimics light and abundant life, the Shadowfell reflects the twisted shadow and darkness of the landscape and design of the Prime Material. Unfortunately, the nature of and changeability of shadows makes mapping the Shadowfell all but impossible, as repeated visits often revealed that locations, buildings and landscapes were slightly altered each time, making it difficult to be certain one was in the same place.
The Shadowfell and the beings who dwell there are composed of a material known as "shadowstuff," which some believe to be leftover remnants of creation. Illusionists and magic-users who work in shadow and deception have been known to draw upon shadowstuff when casting their spells, in essence pulling a small piece of the Shadowfell into whatever plane of existence they are currently on to enhance their magic.
This magical mirror requires attunement, but once its activated it begins to float in the air. It is susceptible to damage and can be destroyed, but while activated it cannot be moved. A creature peering into the mirror that fails a DC 15 WIS saving throw becomes paralyzed and overwhelmed by memories altered to put the best spin imaginable on the recollection. They remain paralyzed until the mirror is deactivated or moved, and the affected can no longer see it. This is the perfect tool to trap enemies and keep them out of the way for a time.
Introduced in Season 5 as the new district attorney, Adrian spent most of his time working from the shadows under the guise of "the Throwing Star Killer." The villain's intentions were tricky to grasp at first, as all the audience knew about the character was that he had some form of vendetta against Oliver. Slowly but surely, however, things began to become more clear, and Prometheus was well on his way to becoming one of the Arrowverse's greatest villains.
As the saga builds, readers first follow the movements of the Nelwyn sorcerer Thorn Drumheller, who is Willow himself, granted a new name by the prologue's prophetic dream, and his appearance changed by long, hard years on the road. He tracks Princess Elora Danan to the faraway kingdom of Angwyn. Here, the baby he once rescued has grown into a brat fed on the riches of privilege. Gradually, it is revealed that Elora's fate is intertwined with that of her own demonic twin, and if she can't defeat the darkest parts of herself, then all of creation is at risk. Thorn must protect and guide Elora Danan as he did when she was a baby, but this time there are things Elora has to figure out for herself.
Referred to as The Red Witch, Game of Thrones' formidable witch Melisandre proved her talent and magical abilities time and time again.

The invitation comes at a crucial moment for Padmé. While she has begun settling into her role as a senator, she also realizes that she could be one for the rest of her life. Padmé reflects that "she knew there was more, and for the first time in her life, she was starting to want it. She didn't know how many new identities she had left to her." Throughout her life, Padmé reinvents herself from citizen to queen to senator, but these are all roles that do not encompass the entirety of herself. Padmé's sister Sola also recently gave birth to a daughter, so Padmé's thoughts are particularly focused on family. Thus, Padmé plans to use the Senate recess to reflect on her decisions and on her own desires for her future.

At this time, Kitty's natural state was to be intangible. Where she once had to make a conscious effort to phase, she could now only maintain her solidity through an act of conscious will. The X-Men went to Reed Richards, Mister Fantastic of the Fantastic Four, for aid, but Richards initially refused because he was not sure he would be able to help.[34]
Kitty takes on the mantle of Star Lord and joins the Guardians of the Galaxy in Peter Quill's place so he can take on his royal duties.[67] When Hala the Accuser massacres Spartax in an attempt to make Quill pay for J'son's actions against her people, she initially easily lays waste to the capitol and overpowers the Guardians. After the Guardians regroup and formulate a strategy to defeat her, Kitty manages to partially phase Hala into the ground so the rest of the Guardians can knock her out and separate her from her weapon.[68] After Quill loses his title as king he and Kitty end up on a mission with the rest of the Guardians on a concentration camp prison planet owned by the Badoon after Gamora gave them information on it so they can free Angela. Once there, Kitty has a personal reaction upon seeing the prisoners and makes it her mission to liberate everyone there and defeat the captors, as it reminds her of Nazi concentration camps. After Quill gets captured and sentenced to death in an arena battle, Kitty finds and kills one of the Badoon leaders by phasing his heart out of his body.[69] When Captain Marvel summons the Guardians to Earth to help her address Tony Stark, Kitty learns that Thanos is a prisoner on Earth and tries to convince Quill to tell Gamora. When fighting starts Kitty woefully realizes that some of her former students are on Tony Stark's side instead of fighting with Captain Marvel. During the battle the Guardians' ship was destroyed, effectively stranding them on Earth.[70] After helping the Guardians stop Thanos from leading an invasion from the Negative Zone the Guardians are given a new ship; however, Kitty decides to stay on Earth and ends her time with the Guardians and Quill.[71]
After Krakoa became a new sovereign nation for Mutants, Kitty Pryde, now going by Captain Kate Pryde, discovers she is the sole mutant who is, for unknown reasons, unable to use the various warp gates leading to Krakoa. It is implied that she has done something to anger Krakoa, but that restriction does not mean Kitty cannot use other means to reach the mutant homeland. She steals a boat and sets sail for the island. Kitty's time on Krakoa proves to be just as fruitless, as the island's natural resources (like flowers that grow into biome homes) are similarly prohibited to Kitty. Emma Frost comes asking Kitty to take up a special mission: taking a bigger boat out to serve as pirate captain on the X-Men's mission to liberate mutants trapped in oppressive countries that do not recognize mutant sovereignty, while also smuggling and supplying for Emma's Hellfire Trading Company the lifesaving drugs the X-Men provide to humans.[74] Kate Pryde is later appointed the new Red Queen of the Hellfire Trading Company by Emma Frost, to the dismay of Sebastian Shaw.[75] Seeing Pryde as an obstacle to his complete control of the Hellfire Corporation, Shaw began plotting against Kate and her crew. After taking notice how Emma became overprotective of the newly crowned Red Queen, Shaw realized that for the same reason she can't travel through Krakoa's gates nor read or understand the Krakoan language until Emma implanted it in her brain, the X-Men's Resurrection Protocols also won't apply to her, which means Kate cannot be resurrected if she died. He orchestrated a distraction by paying off human supremacists Homines Verendi to stage an attack on his own son. Once Kate was defenseless, Shaw emerged from below deck and ensnared Lockheed with a net gun, making him a helpless hostage. He then released Krakoan seeds at her feet, which wrapped around her and prevented her from using her powers. He then dropped her and Lockheed into the sea. While Lockheed was able to survive, Kate sank helplessly, and once her head dropped under the surface, she had no air left and drowned instantly.[76] Her death is later confirmed by Bishop as he retrieves Kate's body,[77] as it was also established that the Resurrection Protocols indeed do not apply to Kate, as the Five, for reasons unknown, cannot resurrect her.[78] However, she is later resurrected, as Emma Frost realized that it was due to the nature of Kate's intangibility powers that her mindless body was unable to break out of the egg.[79] 2ff7e9595c
