The "Heroes You Want" list (now 45 heroes total)

[Gevth]

I remember reading an interview that stated that Marvel pushed for certain characters to be in the game (the one mentioned was Luke Cage, but certainly others like Spider-Woman weren't in because the developers wanted her in). So if Marvel wanted to "advertise" Jackpot, they could "force" her in.

[muafan]

ya but only if she gets her own book.... i mean if shes a only a geust star in spier-man they'll be no need to advertise her.

I would want the original 23 heroes in the game plus Next Gen Colossus and Moon Knight and of the DLC only the four heroes that is 29 and then the extras would be:

30. Punisher
31. She-Hulk
32. Namor
33. Cable
34. Beast
35. Tigra
36. Iron Fist
37. Ronin
38. Black Widow
39. Scarlet Witch
40. Black Cat
41. Mocking Bird
42. Wolfsbane
43. Cannonball
44. Sunspot
45. Nova (Richard Ryder)

These are many of my favorite heroes. I liked all of the original in MUA but wished some would have been more powerful than they are. I would like to see a mission editor also.

Didnt activision loose the rights to certain characters? Does anyone know specifically who? I'm figuring it's safe to assume they wont be in the sequel.

[Teancum]

We don't know exactly.  Rights were gained by other companies for movie-games, but it never mentioned that those rights were exclusive.

Ah gotchya. I thought I remember reading they lost rights to Iron Man, but I could have sworn there were others. Easier to make a dream list when one knows the characters to leave out for legal reasons. Thanks.

[Teancum]

Well, I'd scratch Hulk and Thor then.  Hopefully Activision gets partial rights so that we can have em.

[muafan]

if they leave out thor or iron man i'm not getting the sequel. and if they do but dont add hulk, i'll be hasetant to buy it...

[msmarvel2007]

I am sure they will make exceptions especially when it comes to Thor, Iron Man, Cap and Hulk. Without them the game would be nothing. The only person that would be worth buying the game for would be Spider-Man if they did not make exceptions somewhere but even then it is a game based on the Marvel Universe and not on Spidey alone.

I think you guys and girls should definitely think about whether the character has 4~6 costumes before actually calling out their names in your list. If you can't even come up with at least 4 different costumes, then it is very likely that the character won't make the cut in MUA2. Don't use Silver Surfer as a counter-example; he is clearly a last minute addition to the standard roster and he actually DOES have more than 4 costumes/identities in comics (eg. The Keeper, Silver Savage, Evil Silver Surfer (from Exiles) ).

Hmm, I should modify my list, too. hehe

[jonchang]

Cosmic Carnage would be a nice skin for Silver Surfer.

PS: Moon Knight only had 3 costumes, before Retro was added into the game for the PC only. The next-gen. costumes still show Moon Knight having only 3.

[Gevth]

Think of the following characters too:
Spider-Woman (2 Jessica Drew vs. 1 Arachne and 1 May Parker)
Ronin (Unmasked? Street clothes? Those aren't 2 legitimate costumes)
Ghost Rider (Well, I think he might have other costumes, but the fact is that in this game 2 of them are other characters)
Luke Cage (Basically, street gears x 3)

Not having enough costumes won't stop Raven and Activision from putting a character in.

Actually, Retro is in the Xbox mod too

Let's be realistic.
Spider-woman - the 4 in MUA are mainly the ones that people know. This also solves the problem that "similar" characters don't appear twice in the standard roster. Jessica Drew does have other costumes.
Moon Knight - If they have got more time and done a bit more research, they would have added the 4th one. Besides, he's an exclusive, not a character from the standard roster.
Ronin - These actually did appear in comics, but they weren't iconic. That's better than having made-up uniforms.
Ghost Rider - They could have used Zarathros and Daniel Ketch Ghost Rider.
Luke Cage - They are all legitimate and iconic... I just don't like the sunglasses and the fact that he lacks beard. lol

Yes, it will. Would people be satisfied if one oscure/new character having one costume is put on the list as oppose to a character that is more well-known? I don't know about you, but I am not. Many people actually ask for more costumes per character, I don't see the point having several characters that retrograde. These characters could be replaced with those are more well known to the customers --- a marketing strategy.
