Iron Man, X-Men, Wolverine and Blade will get new anime treatments through Japan’s Madhouse studio and premiere on cable station G4 in 2011. Variety reports that the four new Marvel animated shows will have Asian-centric themes and will be produced through a deal with Sony Pictures TV Japan. Each series has a 12 half-hour initial order.

"We are excited to partner with Sony Pictures and Marvel to bring these incredible icons to G4," says G4 president Neil Tiles. "Combine (Marvel's box-office success) with the passionate following the world of anime brings with it, and we believe this project has incredible potential for the network."

G4 also announced that it will launch a 10-episode second season of American Ninja Warrior, produced by A. Smith & Co. in December.

Marvel Comics has teased the X-Men's defeat at the hands of Jubilee. 

The latest preview of Victor Gischler and Paco Medina's X-Men #3 shows the former mutant and X-Man taking Wolverine by surprise. 

Jubilee has been infected with vampirism as a part of the 'Curse of the Mutants' storyline.
X-Men #3 is out on September 9. 

I'm so sure she'll kill Wolvie where the Hulk, Romulus, his kid, the Brood, Alpha Flight, Sabretooth, and - if the films are to be believed - the Civil War (the actual historical war, not the Marvel crossover event) failed.

Still, this looks like fun readin', so you know I'll be checking it out.

​Being the child of a superhero seems like it would be a great deal on paper. Your parents can't give you a lot of shit for being hard to get a hold of because they're always out doing God-knows-what, you might get super powers of your own (or at least some cool gear if your folks don't have powers) and they've got to have some pretty rad stories to tell when they've had a few too many cocktails at the next family get together. But, what happens instead? Usually the kids get brutally killed. Or blinked out of existence. Or ditched because mom or dad can't give up the thrill of the chase. Or it turns out your children never existed because your husband's a robot. Or your parents never knew you existed in the first place. Here's a rundown of the top kids of superheroes who've had it the hardest over the years.

A decent list, and with only 10 to choose from you're gonna have some unfortunate omissions, and I saw some glaring ones, such as Jericho and Quicksilver, as noted in the comments.

Still, a good piece all in all, and a little bit of "damn, I'm glad that's not me" fun, or as Big Words would put it, schadenfreude.
