What Is Captain Marvel’s Weakness?

Warning: spoilers for Captain Marvel ahead!

It's no secret that Carol Danvers is a powerhouse. She's a Kree-hybrid who, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was empowered directly by a blast from an Infinity Stone, which puts her inarguably within the ranks of the MCU's strongest heroes -- but no character can be completely without weakness, not even the mightiest of Earth's Mightiest Avengers. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has already assured fans that Carol will have some sort of Achilles' heel, but unsurprisingly withheld the details about just what that weak spot might be.

This new beast stands apart from the rest, and IGN’s resident D&D nerd Nick Limon pegs it as what could be a Tarrasque.

Epic Is Bringing Its Games to the Humble Bundle

You'll soon be able to buy Epic exclusives through Humble Bundle, thanks to a partnership between the two companies.

Epic and Humble Bundle's partnership goal, in addition to raising money for charity, is to create more opportunities for developers to sell their games, "including Epic exclusives." It also increases Humble's ability to raise money for charitable organizations.
