Squirrel Girl’s last appearance was in November 2019, where she appeared in her own series – The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. Since then, the mischievous hero has been MIA. So, it comes as a pleasant surprise that this mischievous hero finally gets a video game appearance.
It’s not just her design that has proven popular, as her explosive kit has led to many players joking about her true potential. One commenter even joked that Squirrel Girl could even destroy Space Marine’s mighty Horus in 1v1 combat.
“I need you all to understand Horus is a 10 ft tall genetically enhanced demigod fully empowered by four actual gods that are literally emotions made manifest and he would still lose to Squirrel Girl.”
