The Marvellous Miss Take’s heroine is stealing hearts, one level at a time

It was three weeks before Christmas, and Adam Langridge was shopping for a female action figure for his daughter.

The Wonderstruck Games developer went to three different shops and couldn’t find a single one. “I eventually found one, and it was Supergirl, but it was Supergirl beaten up, and her clothes were torn, and she was cut and bruised. And the whole point of this girl was that Superman could save her. And I was so angry about it. I got really, really cross,” he said.
