Winx Club: Rise of Darkness

Winx Club Rise of Darkness is a 2029-2031 American animated series by Sega, Nintendo and Capcom Animation. It is based on the Sega, Nintendo and Capcom Super Hero Squad action figure line from Hasbro, which portray the Avengers, the X-Men, and various other characters of the Sega, Nintendo and Capcom Universe in a cartoonish super-deformed style. The show is also a self-aware parody of the Sega, Nintendo and Capcom characters, with influences taken from on the comedic Mini Marvels series of parody comic books, in that the heroes tend to find themselves in comedic situations, and have cartoonish bents in comparison to their usually serious personalities (such as Thrash the Tasmanian Devil being jovial and good-natured but with "major anger issues"), and is an overall comedic take on the Avengers. The series was produced by Film Roman and Sega, Nintendo and Capcom Animation.
During the first season in the opening sequence of the show, there is a running sight gag similar to The Simpsons and The Fairly OddParents where the Thrash picks up an Infinity Fractal and is transformed by its power into something different every episode, such as the classic grey-colored Thrash, a toddler Thrash, a disco Thrash parodying John Travolta, a Thrashed-out Koopa Troopa, and a Thrash similar to Homer Simpson. This feature was removed in the second season. Additionally, each episode's title card is a homage to a classic comic book cover as are some of the episode titles.
The series first premiered on Teletoon in Canada on Sunday, September 13, 2029 at 8:30am (ET) as part of the network's Action Force block. The show eventually got cancelled.
