Valiant Entertainment’s Shadowman is a popular hero. A supernatural character who thrives in the night, he’s one of the few truly paranormal elements in the otherwise science-fiction-based Valiant Universe. He’s also used his own shade of black magic to cast spells in video games, and he’s about to do it again.
Shadowman: Darque Legacy This is the first game to feature the Valiant character since the Nintendo 64. However, it is not the exact same version. The company seems to be erasing the old version of Shadowman. This is a look into the past of the “Shadow Man”, and how the new game will feature someone completely different.
The first two Shadow Man games had a completely different hero
The original Shadow Man In 1999, the game (spelled with an extra space) came out on Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and Microsoft Windows. Acclaim developed the game after they had acquired Valiant Comics to find potential comic book properties for video games. Valiant’s comics were relaunched with many characters being radically altered to better adapt. Shadow Man was a character that was less “superheroic”. This new Shadow Man, Michael LeRoi was not the original Jack Boniface. He also looked very different. Michael LeRoi wore street clothes with tattoos, rather than the skull-faced costume of Boniface.
The stories also took on a darker, more horror-based tone. Shadowman The classic Valiant Universe comic books. The game was based on the Acclaim comics of the 1990s, which featured Garth Ennis, a dark and mature comic book creator.

The first was remastered on modern video game consoles early in the 2020s. Michael LeRoi, who was originally released in Valiant comics, would then be relegated to the Deadside, a place of obscurity, when Acclaim stopped publishing the comic books.
Shadowman’s Newest Video Game Is an Alternative to the Classic Games Hero
Blowfish Studios is developing the next-generation of the popular game. Shadowman: Darque Legacy It will be an action adventure game with elements of a lite RPG. The game, which focuses on Jack Boniface will take the player through the Liveside and Deadside as they encounter all sorts of supernatural threats. According to the storyline, the game is inspired by Valiant Entertainment’s modern version of Shadowman, which was first introduced in 2012’s reboot of their comic book line. This iteration of Jack Boniface was a new take, with a greater focus on horror and supernatural. It’s ironic that this was Michael LeRoi’s expertise. The new game glosses right over him.
Michael LeRoi only made 36 comic book appearances, which is not much when you consider the circumstances. Valiant was already losing a lot of popularity and market share when Acclaim acquired the company. And the subsequent reboot for the comic line that Acclaim issued only served as a way to disappoint and anger fans. It did not make a big splash and faded with a whimper, only to be rebooted a decade later. The previous two reboots are indisputable. Shadow Man Michael LeRoi’s biggest highlight was playing games, which were very popular.
Valiant has almost completely discarded the Acclaim comics, and Jack Boniface, the only true Shadowman is now the sole Shadowman. The title of the game appears to refer to Master Darque, Boniface’s arch-enemy. In the end Shadowman: Darque Legacy It could be a fantastic game, but it will sadly cost the character that a whole generation of gamers has already associated with the title.
