Harder, better, faster, stronger. More than just a beloved Daft Punk cut, those four words are a mantra for many exercise enthusiasts to push themselves to their absolute limits. In fact, it’s not too different from the Olympic motto, “Citius, Altius, Fortius,” which translates to “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” With the digital revolution, all kinds of data points are now at our fingertips to help further push the boundaries of our own personal records. But while Apple Watches and FitBits can provide metrics around splits, there’s never been a device dedicated to solely understanding every aspect of an individual’s unique running experience, and then going a step further and helping them improve. That is, until now.

Sinister Spinoffs: 6 Spider-Man Villains Worthy of Standalone Films /
Between Venom, Joker, and the release of the Jared Leto-led Morbius trailer, it seems the (::extreme Stefon voice::) hottest trend in comic book movies right now is villains. As Sony looks to capitalize on what properties and characters from Marvel they still have access to, the studio will probably continue to leverage more of Spider-Man’s iconic rogue’s gallery for their future cinematic projects.
