Knowing that MUA2 is Civil War, which characters do you want in the sequel now?

[iammingy]

We originally have a thread for 45 heroes, but we didn't know that MUA2 is about Civil War.

Activision states:

In this new Marvel Ultimate Alliance action role-playing game, Civil War erupts and the world's greatest heroes and villians must choose sides. Select your side in the conflict and assemble your team from a roster of over 20 Marvel Legends, including the Hulk, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Venom, and the Human Torch. Combine your team's power to create new unique ones that transform your favorite Marvel superheroes in unexpected ways, such as fusing Spider-Man's power with Storm's to give Spider-Man lighting webs. Expermentations can lead to discovering multiple fusions and different roads to success. Amplify your team's superpowers and wield your custom arsenal wisely if you hope to the war, re-unite the Earth's mightest heroes, and save the Marvel Universe.

So, assumming that:
1. we are getting 25 heroes/villains on each side, meaning 50 playables (though very unlikely)
2. ALL the characters mentioned in the paragraph above will make the cut
3. stupid licensing issues have been sorted out
4. Iron Man and Captain America will be the boss for each side
what does your wish list look like now?

* you may want to read about the list of characters for each side: http://www.marvel.com/universe/Civil_War

This is mine:

Pro-Registration 1. Iron Man 2. Venom 3. Ares 4. Wonderman 5. Sentry 6. Deadpool 7. Bullseye 8. Taskmaster 9. She-Hulk 10. Black Widow 11. Shang-Chi 12. Songbird 13. Ms Marvel 14. Doctor Samson 15. Talisman 16. Doctor Octopus 17. Wasp 18. Yellow Jacket 19. Falcon 20. Green Goblin 21. Sasquatch 22. Radioactive Man 23. Beta Ray Bill 24. Black Cat 25. Squirrel Girl

Hulk wasn't involved in the Civil War in comics, but I think he will probably be on Cap's side...
The real Thor was thought dead during the Civil War, but I think he will also be on Cap's side

You realize of course, that the modders 'll have characters switching sides within weeks

As for me, I'm fighting with the captain

[Dihan]

I always thought the X-Men were a neutral party...

I'd like to see a Young Avengers and Runaways cameo though.

[jonchang]

Urrgh. It looks like Shellhead's gonna be the enemy this time. Great friendship bonds can be builded up over the years, but severed in a matter of seconds.

[Teancum]

If Spider-Man is anti-registration why did he unmask himself at a press conference with Iron Man?

Also, was Hawkeye under the Ronin identity during the Civil War?  If so they'd better have a Hawkeye skin.

[SpongeSpider]

He switched sides from Pro-Registration to Anti-Registration later on.

[jonchang]

Many heroes & fans switched to Anti after Goliath's death. Such as me.

Isn't Ms. Marvel with Cap? Not so according to Mingy's list. But the Marvel Sides link clearly states she is Anti.

As an afterthought, why not make it 50 characters, 25 on each side?

[SpongeSpider]

Sharon Ventura Ms. Marvel is on Anti-Registration. Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel is on Pro-Registration.

I agree about the 50 characters thing, what would be so bad about it?

[muafan]

maybe all of the playables will be on the side u choose. it just spits out others based on ur decision. maybe later u can play as both teams against galactus?

[Rasdel]

Ok, this is an interesting post... since like Iammingy said... know we know a little bit more about the possible roster... I am REALLY thrilled about the new 23 PER SIDE number... that's A TON of characters ^^

NOTE:
- Chars already in MUA will be in Italicized
- I also believe the SOME characters would only "FIT" as long as there are OTHER character IN THE GAME... so those chars will have a "*" and an explanation next to them
- Last but not least, i will add a few more chars that could have been "nice" additions... and say WHY i believe they should NOT be in.

ANTI-REGISTRATION

CAP.AMERICA (w/US AGENT costume)(we'll probably see his death at the end)

Antman (w/Yellow Jacket Costume)
Angel/Archangel
Black Panther
*Cloak (only if Dagger is in it)
*Dagger (only if Cloak is in it)
DareDevil
Human Torch
Invisible Woman
Ms Marvel
Punisher
Quicksilver
*Luke Cage (only if ironfist is in)
Doctor Strange
Iron Fist
Ronin
Spiderman
Spider Woman
Wolverine (#1!)
Storm
Sub-Mariner (a.k.a. Namor)
Thor
Hulk (YEAH BABY!)

WILL BE MISSED:
Nick Fury (too bad, but i thought he was a lame/story-killin/unbalance adition to the MUA roster)
Winter Soldier (yeah, he's the new cap, but with THE CAP in the game, and PUNISHER as the WEAPON MASTER style of character... Winter who?)
Cable (too bad, but not everyone can make it)
Mutiple Man (only if other BIG X-Factor chars are IN)
Strong Guy (same as above)
Siryn (same as above)
Wolfsbane (same as above)

PRO-REGISTRATION

IRONMAN
Beast
Bishop
Blade (hope they make him decent this time!)
Cap Marvel
Deadpool
*Wasp (only if ANTMAN is in it)
Wonder Man
Guardian
Sasquash
Morbius
Black Cat
Sentry (UNBALANCED! I WANT TO FEEL HIS WRATH!)
Mr Fantastic
Penance
James Rhodes (a.k.a War Machine)
She-Hulk
Bullseye
Green Goblin
Beetle
Doc Octopus
Taskmaster
Venom

THAT's PRETTY MUCH IT...

It would be cool to have more X-MEN but since the story doesn't "allow" it... i guess this is a pretty good roster ^^

Either way... 46 chars is AWEOME so i can't really complain ^^

Cheers^^

Sorry for the double post, but what if muafan is right??

maybe all of the playables will be on the side u choose. it just spits out others based on ur decision. maybe later u can play as both teams against galactus?

What if... we only get 23 chars and that is it??

What if you decide only going pro or anti registration and the whole roster swings your way depending on your choice??

Do not know what you guys think... but i think that would suck! :S

Cheers

It might actually be kinda fun to put together a strike force to go and 'bring in' the renegade vigilantes hiding in the sewers. You'd have a big checklist of characters you'd have to go capture and return to '42'.

On the other side, you'd have to fend off the attacks from the pro-forces. 

That said, I would still prefer a story based adventure, where you could pick your teams as you see fit, like in the first MUA. I hope this civil war thing isn't too restrictive.

I like the idea of characters being able to switch sides part way through the game. Like Spiderwoman.
Or the fact that some characters might not be who they say they are, like maybe... (ahem)

I know they made an effort to bring the characters' stories up to the present in the first MUA.
I wonder if they'll do the same, considering all the crazy changes going on in the books right now?

Anyhow,

Pro-reg
------
I'll need a PLAYABLE Iron Man (I won't be buying this game if you can't play as Iron Man)
The mighty Avengers, Ms. Marvel's Lightning strike force, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the various
Initiative teams (Omega Flight, the 50 State teams) provide lots of characters for the pro side.
The Thunderbolts are still villains if you ask me...

Anti-reg
-------
Cap and Luke Cage's renegade underground Avengers, the Young Avengers, and Marvel's street
level characters (since they seem to have the most to lose by registering) would fill out
the anti-reg side nicely. (Punisher, Moon Knight, Iron Fist, Cap , Spidey...)
