Finally, a video game is coming that gives real scientists their due. It also gives them super powers.

Science Kombat, a game that will soon be made available by Brazil's Superinteresante magazine, features historic scientists as heroes and gives them ass-kicking abilities.

Journalist and game designer Fred Di Giacomo Rocha is at the helm of Science Kombat. The idea for the game came about after his 2011 release of Filosofighters, which "brings the teachings of some of the foremost philosophers into a wrestling ring," he explained to Mashable in an email.

Ultimately, the goal is to intersect knowledge and video games to create a new way of storytelling.

"[Filosofighters] was a big success," Di Giacomo Rocha said. "So in the end of 2012, me, Otavio Cohen and my team began to think about a new fighting game, but with scientists instead of philosophers. The idea was the same: to explain basic information about science and famous scientists in a funny way."

This is how Science Kombat was born.

Isaac Newton

"The special powers of each scientist represent their major theories," Di Giacomo Rocha explained. "Each scenario is a representative place of the scientist's life (eg. Darwin is in Galapagos and Marie Curie in her lab). And the final boss will be God, that morphs into various God's representations - like in Mortal Kombat, with Shang Tsung. We thought it would be a good metaphor for the battle of science against faith/superstition."

While the game has deep undertones, the characters designed by artist Diego Sanches, are pretty adorable.

While the game not yet released, a link will go live as soon as it's ready.
