Video Game Trivia

Prince of Persia: Assassin’s Creed

Ubisoft’s long-running and highly successful Assassin’s Creed series was originally going to be a Prince of Persia spinoff. The game was called Prince of Persia: Assassins, and it told the story of a female assassin tasked with protecting a prince in Jerusalem. After roughly a year of development, Ubisoft rejected the idea as it didn’t focus on the prince enough. The game was reworked to the Assassin’s Creed we know today.

Comic Book Trivia

Merc

Everyone’s favorite Merc With a Mouth was created as a parody of DC’s Deathstroke. Co-creator Rob Liefeld was a fan of Slade since childhood and wanted to create a similar character to go against their biggest competitor, DC Comics. Both armed with swords, both highly-trained assassins. Slade Wilson’s Deathstroke found his sarcastic counterpart in Wade Wilson’s Deadpool. And no, Deadshot had no connection to either character.
