Games can be defined by their heroes, villains, settings, or even weapons. Especially in long-running series, oftentimes it isn’t a single character that becomes the face of the games, but a weapon that persists throughout. Other times, a weapon can be so unique in function or design that it only needs one appearance to make its mark in gaming history. Since weapons are so fundamental in most games, competition is stiff. A weapon needs to look cool, but also be fun to use. These iconic weapons check all the boxes and are so recognizable that even those who never played the game they’re from will recognize them.

Legendary MMO speedrunner "can finally play the game again" after a 1,758-hour record for one of Old School RuneScape's most brutal challenges

This article contains spoilers for The Boys. For better or worse, that’s a wrap on Season 4 of The Boys. Though each season of Prime Video’s wildly popular superhero satire has only been eight episodes, Season 4 most certainly struggled more than the rest when it came to truncating its story. Still, the series left us with plenty of build-up to Season 5, which will wrap up The Boys’ portion of the Vought story. Fans of the universe need not stress, though. Gen V will continue, and there’s still plenty of room for more spinoffs of the series. In the meantime, let’s take a look at this Season 4 ending and how it sets up the final season of The Boys.
