Superhero Fatigue's gone up, and you don't know what to do with it? The MCU and DC franchise might seemingly be doing well in pushing their franchises on the big screens, but fans are overwhelmed with the amount of movies and series they still have to go through before they reach the latest stories.
If you're looking for non-Marvel and DC superhero movies, this article is for you! Here's where to stream them online, too.
Sky High (2005)
One of the earliest superhero movies that is set in high school is the 2005 film, Sky High, where these high schoolers have had to deal with bad guys, despite still being in training school.

Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)
Hellboy was a funny mistake made by the Nazis in their attempt to summon one of the greatest villains from the paranormal dimension, only to end up with the titular character, who becomes an agent in the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense.

Darkman (1990)
Dr. Peyton Wilder is left psychologically and physically scarred for life after a crime boss led a vicious assault on him. Upon recovering, Wilder began his scientific experiment of transforming himself into synthetic skin that could change his facial structures however he pleases.

The Incredibles (2004) and The Incredibles 2 (2018)
Never underestimate the power of animated storytelling, especially when it comes to this family of supers. If anything, The Incredibles depicted one of the most controversial yet innovative superhero stories — imagine getting banned from using your superpowers to help citizens, all because the people and government want to keep the country safe from supernatural hazards.

The Crow (1994)
The Crow centers on the story of how musician Eric Draven and his fiancée are brutally murdered by a violent city gang.
Quite shockingly, on the anniversary of their death, Eric rises from the grave and becomes the gothic mantle of the Crow, a supernatural avenger, which gave him the ability to rightfully track down the thugs responsible for city crimes by mercilessly murdering them.

Kick Ass (2010) and Kick Ass 2 (2013)
Despite having no special powers or training, Kick Ass essentially depicts a dark comedy action story, based on the original comic book series of the same name, where a group of ordinary people from a New York high school band together to begin their career as masked crime-fighters.

Megamind (2010)
Megamind is not the main hero of the story, but it's still a superhero movie, nonetheless. After finally defeating Metropolis's super, Metro Man, the blue-headed evil genius is left to ponder what else is there to do on Earth? He ends up building himself a superhero he could fight with on a daily basis. That is, until he realized too late how very wrong he was with this game plan.
Streaming Platforms: HBO Max, YouTube, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video
Unbreakable (2000)
After becoming a survivor of a high-fatality train crash, David Dunn gains superhuman strength and durability through a superior immune system while being able to sense wrongdoings through touch (psychometry).
Who would've thought that Unbreakable would eventually grow its own franchise, with Split (2016) about a main character who develops Dissociative Identity Disorder, and Glass (2019), where the first two main leads unite, thanks to the mysterious Elijah Price, the criminal mastermind who holds critical secrets for both men.
