A fellow Jean fan has access to the game which is where I'm getting a lot of these "exclusive X-Men" pics from...I'm gonna see if he can post more on the other heroes too!
On a sidenote, don't you guys just love the art! It would be so cool if the next X-Men TV series had art like this.
I love it. can't wait to play with lady sif.

That's exactly how I felt. At first I thought she was a brand-new character until I saw the name. Sif is indeed an interesting choice because she's never been an A-Lister like the others but she's perfect considering her recent role in the Thor film.
EDIT: Updated main post with heroes and villains
saw the unmentioned hobgoblin, sandman, crimson dynamo, the destroyer armor, dormammu, constrictor and abomination

Lol added them as you speak ;) However I didn't see Hogoblin unless you meant Jack O'Lantern.
didn't see the pistols. it was the hood after all.
BTW did you see Wrecker? I'm certain I saw him before but I can't find him this time. Did you spot Silver Samurai? At 0:14-0:15 it looks like he is behind Magneto and Doc Ok.
in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuhZtjAbnVg, it looked like dr. strange and spiderwoman were in as well. From the look of it, the game reminds me of civil war online, from the MUA2 website before the actual game was released.
did not see Wrecker. the one behind Magneto is Boomerag for sure.

I'll update that. I can't see Wrecker anymore either, I believe I saw Red Skull and in the black & white lightning I mistoke him for Wrecker.

Thanks, I hadn't seen those videos before. First post now updated.

So far we've already seen Kitty's.
Maybe I missed something. Does anyone know why this is called "Avengers Alliance" when so many of the heroes have never been Avengers?
Oh, and for those who don't have Facebook, give us reviews when the game gets started and let us know if it's worthwhile. Thanks.

Maybe the Alliance means being Alliances with others?
or maybe they called it avengers cause of the movie coming out.

Wooo comercialism XD actually i'm pretty excited for this game :}
Game officially released!
It's very nice, however it is almost next to impossible to progress without some sort of dent in your wallet.
Thanks for that bit of information, MarvelFan. I didn't know it was going to cost, but I should have guessed.
Its decent, Just beated Whiplash, Now I have to get more gold to buy those stupid jets :P (yes, I wasted most of mine of battle supplies) :P, oh well, its decent, glad that marvel made my most hated heroes the most expensive, and my most loved, pretty cheap :D

Lol I agree. At the moment my roster features Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, She-Hulk, Iron Fist, Phoenix, Cyclops, and Invisible Woman. Saving for Ms. Marvel considering she's the cheapest hero left for me to buy :D
I've been playin it, just got Phoenix, finally, now savin' up for Shadowcat. I'm level 14, but yeah, if you have enough friends on there, it's easy to progress through. I get all my energy through gifts and visiting friend's towns. I have like 52,000 silver and over 400 of those shield (purple) tokens. I did have a bit of gold, but used some for command points to get Jean. I love the game, maybe cause its got a bit of Final Fantasy feel to it. :) Has anyone heard if they'll be adding any more characters to recruit? (I want my Rogue lol) Kinda excited for the extra costumes though :D
