MUA2 Official site characters reveal (updated w/ May's clue)

[{:}toxin{:}]

i stand with iron fist and black bolt guys

I'm suprised that nobody besides me thinks that it is Spider-Woman. I also hope that it is Iron Fist and Black Bolt. Dagger would be cool too, with Cloak joining her in battle when she fights against enemies.

I've just been over to the official Ultimate Alliance 2 site. The game is looking awesome. Songbird looks amazing. They're really clamouring for Emma Frost and Jean Grey to be in the game. Its like an Emma vs Jean catfight over there. I have a question though. Do Activision actually have anything to do with the official site? Is it run by them or do they just pop in from time to time to check what the fans doing? If so, I wonder if they are taking notice of all the voting polls going on over there.

The guy who delivers all the news says that they are, in fact, listening to responses in the forums and in the polls. I personally think the most popular characters that they weren't going to include will probably end up as DLC.

Jean Grey is overrated, though. I'd prefer Emma in over her any day.

Aunt May as a playable?  Ok, these guys have lost their minds, or it was a really dumb April Fool's joke.

Ah good... it was a joke.  Ha ha, so very not funny -- unless you're 10. April Fool's jokes are funny, but an Aunt May joke isn't.  I'm not being a jerk, I'm just saying it was more "corny" than anything else.

I know Teacum, I saw that too. I really hope that is a joke too. The guy looked deadly serious though. Aunt May would just be a waste. If your right Dihan about activision taking notice of what fans want, then there's no reason why they would not include Jean, Emma and even Psylocke. These 3 x-ladies appear to be beating out all the other competition by a landslide. I was hoping for Punisher though but it looks like a lot of people really missed the psychics in the first Ultimate alliance.

It's sad that Deadpool isn't in the game...is he?

They could have made a video with Aunt May in-game, using another character with an Aunt May skin. This would have been a little bit funny.

Wait and see.

I really doubt that they will include all 3. I just want Jean Grey and if there is room then Psylocke. I have no desire to really play as Emma Frost.

[xxoldlacexx]

As long as one of them are in i'm happy..

[Dihan]

I have no desire to play as Jean Grey for the third time. Emma Frost is a lot more current than Jean, she's also a lot more unique than Jeaneric Psychic Woman. Jean wasn't even alive during Civil War.

[haydnc95]

good point!

[marvelfan12345]

Well Thor or the Hulk weren't in the Civil War, so that doesn't really matter. Most X-Men weren't in it either. Also Jean is more unique than Emma. She has telekinetic powers and telepathy plus the Phoenix Force. Emma has telepathy too, but nothing else besides a diamond form which could be replicated by the Hulk or the Thing. Plus her telepathy is much weaker than that of Jean's. Plus the X-Men writers are planning to resurrect Jean. They've practically announced that Jean will come back from a connection with Hope (Messiah Complex baby). They've given some clues that have given it away, so you can check wiki.

Still, as awesome a Jean is, she can sit out for one game.  And so can Wolverine.  Love those characters, but they always hog the spotlight.
