You know what comic book company and it's characters deserve more recognition? Valiant.
Valiant has so many interesting characters, it's quite the shame that they don't get as much love as any characters from the Big Two. Maybe a movie, or TV series, or video game could help expand the fan base.
When I gave my brother five comic companies and asked him which he would pitch a game to if given the chance, he said Valiant. He's not a comic book reader like I am, so he like just chose the way that could give some freedom to the work. When listing off characters a Souls-like game he would want to create, he stopped me and picked X-O Manowar. Which you know what? I think X-O Manowar could work in a Souls-like video game.
"But what about the Shadowman game and the Bloodshot movie? People know those." Yes, but how big was their impact?
And moving on from video games to movies, I think Valiant's characters would work better in animation than live-action. There's something about the colors of Valiant characters that pop better in anything not live-action. Taking Batinthesun's Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe for example, while costumes are spot on, they don't look as good, the colors don't pop as much, least in my opinion.
What characters would I pick for a Valiant animated movie? First thought is Shadowman, then Punk Mambo popped into my head. She could have a style that sort of meets in the middle of Miles' universe and Hobie's universe from Across the Spider-Verse.
Maybe someone could make an animated series for Valiant's immortal brothers, the Eternal Warriors, Ivar the Timewalker, and Armstrong. You could even throw their sister in too. War-Queen is pretty interesting for a slightly newer character, newer in that she only appeared within like the last decade I belive.
Or maybe could have the Deliquents, Archer, Armstrong, Quantum and Woody, as a ragtag bunch of misfits for a more comedic animated series.

Today's compilation:
Totally Hits 2 2000 Pop / Alternative Rock / Teen Pop / R&B / Adult Contemporary
Man, they weren't ever gonna find a way to eclipse the goodness of Now That's What I Call Music!, but the conglomerate that made up Sony, BMG, Warner, Elektra, and Atlantic came damn near close with this second dispatch from their competitive Totally Hits series here. Leans a bit too heavy on the soft, anodyne, slow, and schmaltzy adult contemporary-type of pop ballads at times, but the rest of it still sure makes for a top-notch nostalgia rush 😊.
youtube
So, for some headlining, certified instant classic, turn-of-the-millennium hits here, we've got songs like Santana and The Product G&B's "Maria, Maria," Christina Aguilera's huge debut smash, "Genie in a Bottle," and the cringe-inducing swing revivalist one-hit wonder pop of Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5." But after that, the choices seem to get less and less obvious, and that's where this comp seems to truly shine. Songs like Filter's radio-friendly "Take a Picture," which marked a gaping departure from their super heavy and aggro debut hit from four years prior, "Hey Man Nice Shot," are included, as well as Moby's terrific "Natural Blues," a song that didn't even manage to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but helped to get him back in the good graces of serious music critics after having been vociferously written off for his previous and widely panned punk album, Animal Rights.
And we also have Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" here too, a song that never actually ended up appearing on any of her studio albums, but was instead the lead cut from the soundtrack for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. With this great tune, we see Madonna and veteran UK producer William Orbit picking up from where they left off on her 1997 album, Ray of Light—often considered by many to be her magnum opus—to deliver a rich pop song that was both simultaneously futuristic and 60s retrodelic as well. And other songs that had been turned in for that soundtrack, like Lenny Kravitz' cover of The Guess Who's "American Woman," while decent, did not come anywhere close to achieving the same type of vibe that "Beautiful Stranger" did, and so it was a no-brainer as the song of choice to represent the film.
So, another really great trip down late 90s/early 2000s memory lane here. Totally Hits would run out of steam and end up bowing out from the contemporary hits compilation game some years later, but specifically with this album, they were certainly proving themselves as a more than worthy adversary to top dog Now That's What I Call Music! Their collective catalog and roster never had the same firepower as that of the combination of Capitol, EMI, Universal, and Virgin, but what they managed to amass here was still plenty good pop music anyway.
Highlights:
Santana feat. The Product G&B - "Maria, Maria" Christina Aguilera - "Genie in a Bottle" Third Eye Blind - "Never Let You Go" Sugar Ray - "Falls Apart" Lou Bega - "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of...)" Madonna - "Beautiful Stranger" Whitney Houston - "My Love is Your Love (Jonathan Peters' Radio Mix)" Filter - "Take a Picture" Missy Elliott - "Hot Boyz" Moby - "Natural Blues" Donell Jones - "U Know What's Up" R.E.M. - "The Great Beyond" Sarah McLachlan - "I Will Remember You"

Now I’m curious about the Super Punch-Out!! dancing and music headcanons. If you don’t mind, of course.
I don't think about these guys too often, but I'll give it a shot! (I'm making an exception from my wii-only headcanons for you, dear anon)
Gabby Jay:
He plays the pipe organ of all things! He plays for a local church all the time and also plays piano for their choir. Not particularly noteworthy but still a skilled musician.
He sounds like Tom Kenny when he sings and when he tries for low notes he squawks like a crow. That being said, he DOES have fun and does not give a shit about his skills. He's too old to care about who thinks he's cringe so he sings whenever he wants!
An ex-ballerina like Glass Joe, but struggles a bit more due to his age. He does have more skill but big leaps are always a 50/50 on whether or not he'll end up roughing up a muscle or two.
Piston Hurricane:
Plays the guitar. He's pretty good with acoustic and frequently helps Bob write songs. He's been dipping his toes into bass and electric guitar and really loving it so far.
Average singer, though he has fun while doing it. He gets really bad stage fright though so don't ask him to do karaoke. Bob sometimes features his voice in tracks but credits him under a secret name at Hurricane's request. He's quiet and whispery, but some encouragement and singing with others makes him open up.
He's from Cuba so dancing's in his blood! He knows tons of dances and is particular to the mambo and cha-cha-cha. He's always down to groove with someone or by himself but does like dancing in a group or with a partner more often than not.
Bob Charlie:
He plays a few instruments but focuses on electric guitars and synths. Music is truly a lifestyle of his and part of almost everything he does. He's basically made of music. He's had a ton of classical training and even working his way towards a doctorate in music theory!
His voice is relaxed, low, and overall very smooth. He's a great singer and always a treat to listen to. Though he prefers going solo with his singing, duets with friends is something he'll never turn down. A constant hummer and singer.
He's THE jive king of Jamaica!!! He can dance real good! He likes 50s/60s style dancing like jiving, jitterbug, and swing over dancehall stuff. This made him a bit of a point of mockery from his peers but he doesn't let it get to him. He has 2 favorite dance partners, one being a former girlfriend and long time friend of his back in Kingston and the other being Hurricane ;) Hurricane is teaching him how to mambo and Bob is loving it to bits.
Dragon Chan:
Plays the Dizi and Hulusi, two traditional wind instruments. He plays bassoon and oboe too. He was apart of a lot orchestras and school bands growing up so he's pretty familiar with music.
Can't sing. His teeth make him very self conscious and he has a very obvious lisp so singing is not something he ever pursued. He also considers his voice to be too 'girly' because it's high-pitched and breathy, so hearing it in song wouldn't be something he enjoyed anyways. Beatboxing is a bit of a hobby of his and something he practices regularly, though he's never been brave enough to show off.
The only traditional dances he can do are the Wulong 'dragon dance' and the Jianwu 'Sword dance'. Outside those two, he's another b-boy and loves his kicks and spins. He's also been picking up ballet from Heike and incorporating it into his style.
Masked Muscle:
Has never played an instrument ever. Nope never. (Played glockenspiel in middle school but swears it never happened because it embarrasses him)
His singing is quite nice! He's particular to love ballads because that's where he can flex the most but keeps it a closely guarded secret at all times. He is fairly happy to grito when singing, though, including while singing along to punk and rock music.
Not much of a traditional dancer. All dancing skills of his lie in club dancing- man goes buckwild for that shit.
Aran Ryan (Snes version):
Plays the clarinet and penny whistle, though hes far better at the clarinet. He was a band kid throughout school and bullied a lot for it (Among many other things) Right now, he's trying to pick up the penny whistle again so he can feel more connected to his culture.
He can sing, but very average. Though he likes to sing folk songs and shanties, his voice dies out when he's expected to sing in irish. He just can't speak the language and lacks any confidence to try, so his voice gives out.
Not a dancer at all. He's got no skill whatsoever and thinks dancing would make him look stupid.
Heike Kagero:
Though he does play shamisen, he much prefers to play with his soundboard when making music. He's got a love for synths and digital music that far outweighs any interest in traditional instruments. They do like playing the traditional flute samples Dragon recorded for them though... like a lot
He can sing very well! However, singing in a falsetto range is tough on them so they don't do it as often as they want. His voice is a bit on the deep side and makes him kind of dysphoric most days. They're actually a bit jealous of Dragon's voice and wishes they could sing in the range he speaks without straining themselves.
He's a damn ballerina and kabuki of course he can dance!!! They adore dancing with Gabby (And sometimes joe) and do it at least a little bit every day. He's a master of the art and very proud of that fact.
Mad Clown:
Not an instrument guy but can tear it up on kazoo.
As a professional ex-opera singer... yeah he can sing! He practices to this day and even used his skills back when he was a clown. Even today, his voice is a strong and overwhelming bass- it brings most to tears.
He's not much of a dancer. What he can do was stuff he learned in the circus and tends to make him look silly as a result. Though, he does do a mean waltz and knocks socks off when he picks his partner up and makes them feel like a fairytale princess (he can be a very romantic fellow)
Narcis Prince:
He plays loads of instruments but has only kept up with piano, viola, and piccolo. Viola his his favorite, followed by piano, though he plays piccolo more because he can just carry it in his pocket all the time. He likes showing off a lot and knows how skilled he is. Also he likes playing the recorder as awful as possible to make people mad.
Though he has gotten proper vocal training, he doesn't sing much. His voice is often muddled because he has a very odd range as a tenor and might even be a rare contra-tenor but he's never tried singing so high. His big claim to fame is being able to consistently break glass with a wail. He can do it while singing too, but he prefers the wail because it's much more awful on the ears. He normally employs this on people who piss him off. It's pretty effective at scaring people (With the sole exception of his family maid) and works well in getting him what he wants when threats don't work.
Not a dancer at all. He did ballet lessons all his life but refused to learn anything, his teacher gave up very quickly and just watched him play basketball instead.
Hoy Quarlow:
Plays the pipa and quin quin and even tried the electric pipa and bass! He definitely likes his lutes and has been very interested in trying more guitars. Most of what he does is at home and non-professional, so he's just having fun.
He sings mostly folks songs but does love blues as well. Age hasn't been too kind to his voice, making it rough and hard to sing, though he's still got a lot of strength and passion in him! In his youth, his voice was very solid and even, but now it tends to crack.
Traditional dancing is his main skillset but he can do a mean Charleston. He is banned form doing the Charleston because he keeps throwing his back out. Everyone has had to stop him from attempting to krump at least once at this point. Old man has so much groove in him but his bones no longer have the strength to support his passion.
Rick Bruiser:
He and Nick played trombone in school, but only he kept it up. Playing around with it in public is something he does for fun all the time. Though, he isn't allowed to play in the house anymore after he kept following Nick around and doing long slides whenever he did anything.
Not a singer. Even with the same voice as his brother, this guy can't hold a note no matter how hard he tries.
He and Nick aren't dancers- they think it's stupid and for girls.
Nick Bruiser:
Played trombone and hated it. He was always more into drums and wanted to play the timpani but couldn't bring himself to stray too far from Rick. Nowadays he drums on just about everything he can and can hold a solid beat but hasn't convinced himself to buy a drumkit... yet.
A great singer but doesn't sing. Their dad mocked him for it and made Nick feel like singing was something unmanly and unfitting for him. He still carries this sentiment heavily and looks down on men in choirs and refuses himself the pleasure of singing along to anything.
Like said above, him and Rick think dancing is for women. Neither brother had passion for dancing anyways but when their mom caught them trying pirouettes (So they could get dizzy) she shut it down very fast and punished them for trying to be girly.
Peter Punch (Birdie):
Swapped between a lot of instruments before settling on the sax. He also liked being in drumline but didn't like carrying his drums around. He's been in jazz bands but normally just sticks to playing on the street for funsies.
Average singer, but only ever sings along to songs on the radio. He tends to get distracted and start giggling while singing so he isn't the best person to go to if you want something serious.
He does square dancing and polka dancing. A lot of people find it goofy but he doesn't care- his family has been doing it for ages and he's more than happy to keep up the tradition.
