I don't understand why they only have 8 x-men. If anything, we should have more x-men. 8 Brotherhood members is pushing it imo. Juggernaut isn't even a mutant. Blob just plain sucks. Toad? ermm. If they really want each character to be different, then why Sabretooth if we already have Wolverine!?
I think this game's gonna be great but that line up just makes no sense.

i couldnt agree with u more neptune, why toad and blob, no 1 is going to play with them and i like juggy but he isnt a mutant he doesnt belong in the game. I hope they didnt switch out colossus for juggy that would sux
they should have put quicksilvers and banshee for toad and blob. I would have said shadow cat but it would really be hard to fit her in the game cause her power are off the wall, really how would they make her.
But they could put dazzler in for sabertooth cause like u said neptune u got wolverine, and i would take out hmmm mystic cause her powers wouldnt really go good with this game replace her with Exodus, Mags right hand man 👿

Yep Blob sucks and juggernaut is actually a very weak mutant but that jewel is what gives him his real power and you need more manuverable characters
Brotherhood members
Magneto
Mystique
Pyro
Avalanche
Sabretooth
Destiny
Toad
Scarlet witch
Quicksilver
Havok
Blob
thats 11 of them do you need more?
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...guys, lets talk.
I hate to be the bad guy here, but my thoughts differ entirely from yours.
Well, the short line up of X-Men does indeed suck, and having to play the Brotherhood might not be everyone's cup of tea, but don't you think they'll make it so awesome that it WILL be everyone's cup of tea? Yeah, I sound crazy, but hear me out.
Rise of Apocalypse puts the X-Men and Brotherhood together a la X-Men 2: X-Men United. Now we all liked that movie [ ] that much, if not loved it. That movie had "The Brotherhood" as Magneto and Mystique, and boy was it fun to see Mystique slinking around and being this major badass.
So now imagine you PLAYING Mystique, instead of just fighting her in Central Park? If they really do this right, it'll be a blast. Think: You're inside FBI Headquarters posing as the FBI Director on a mission. You get caught somehow, and Mystique's this total fighting guru. How fun would that be? Just performing slick moves that'll get you anywhere? Compare this to "Chain Lightning" and zapping all your enemies in a heartbeat.
I don't think people play these games to win them, mindlessly performing rapid combos. No one plays Mortal Kombat to get through the Story mode, its all what it looks like. 'Specially when youre playing against a friend. A normal punch is just like "whatever", but pressing X+O at the same time gives you this super 1337 wacky move that'll leave the other person going "Oooooh". Know what I'm saying?
As for the characters, I've read through the majority of the thread and the last post above me has ignited my mind. I've got some problems with the list above, assuming that's a list of Brotherhood members Benito would like to see.
First of all, Blob does not suck. Maybe a bit, but his, erm, fat is just like Collossus' metal skin: it takes very little, if none at all, harm. Blob can increase his density till he is basically unmovable. No tank, no speeding bus, no F-16 is moving this guy. He's fricken strong, like Collossus, and though he'll move slow, its not like ol' Piotr was The Flash, right? The Blob can absorbe impacts, and stretch his reach. We've added a bit of Mr. Fantastic here, too. As seen in the cutscene where Mystique frees Magneto from the Arbiter, the Blob reflects bullets like nothing, and can fling aside an Anti-Mutant troop in a flash. Or, rather, sit on him.
Juggernaut and the Blob are highly similar. Though, as seen in the Muir Island level and the flashback level of XML 1, we realize what a powerful force he is. Once in motion, Juggernaut can not be stopped. Or something of the sorts. He's a formidable foe, and playing him would be repetitive if you'd play the Blob in the game, but they wouldn't add characters that are two similar. And if they did, it'd be the gameplay that would make them two different characters.
And now in response to Benito's list.
Magneto: Well this is a given. Playing him will be fun indeed, as his control over metal is infinite. Everything has some traces of metal in it, in the game at least. The HAARP Facility isn't going to be built of plastic, is it?
Mystique: Mentioned above. Slinky and seductress, I do hope they get rid of the red costume. It wasn't the same, though she does wear that in her mini series.
Pyro: This should be nice, considering they expand on his ability, as in let us experience the hard-to-beat-on-level-two power he had.
Avalanche: Another nice thing to throw in. I'd like to let 'Poccy fall into some deep Chasm. Though that would leave me very, very incontent.
Sabretooth: Of course, the "too similar to Wolverine" argument. Well, buddies, I disagree. Sure, he is, but the character interaction will be good. Wolvie is more like, well, a wolverine. Small yet incredibly aggressive. Sabretooth, however, is a lion. The king of the jungle: large, powerful, and simply viscious. Creed is a psychopath, and add that with his powers and its heaven for any fan boy.
Destiny: No. What is she gonna do? "Raven, I see you falling to your death." Oh noes! She's not fun at all, and unless they do something interesting with her, I say let us never speak of Destiny again. She caused enough trouble with her diary! Ooh, subplot anyone?
Toad: This I would like. Toad's tongue and his all around agility rocks. Armin Shimerman of Buffy (The Principle) and Star Trek (Quark) fame did him very well. I liked it alot. Having a small, bouncy little Toad will be nice, like the Nightcrawler of the Brotherhood, 'cept a wild little critter and not a "Mein Gott!" toting Elf.
Scarlet Witch: Pass. Though it WOULD be nice, if they ever made a Marvel Legends game, it would throw her off of there. Unless at the end of XML 2, Wanda stays with Xavier before going to the Avengers. Anyway, her powers are interesting but terribly hard to explain, let alone use in a video game.
Quicksilver: Run run run, as fast as you can. Me no likey. Leave the Maximoff Twins to the Avengers, please. Though Pietro can run around and punch and attack quickly, its not my thing. Maybe someone elses?
Havok: Yeah, though I won't like it. The Summers relationship will be nice.
Well, that's my two cents. Though at this rate, its been my two hundred dollars.
but but but.... 🙁
I hope Jean is in... according to
http://ps2.ign.com/articles/544/544281p1.html
Rob's favorite characters are Jean and Storm... so he can't possibly cut her! Plus, shes the only psychic on the entire team now that Emmas NPC.
Lol, I guess she is a melee fighter. I found it hilarious (well, not HILARIOUS) that her psi-sword got longer everytime you pumped it up with points.
By the way, is you sig image from Phoenix Endsong?
I couldn't quite figure it out. I'm sure it is, and the glove kinda tips me off, too. Greg Land, I think, draws funky-ish.

yea, from endsong. i think the face itself is a big tipoff 😉
But did anyone really play Jubilee?
Like, my teams always had Storm, Wolverine, and Iceman, leaving the fourth spot either for Jean, Gambit, or maybe even Psylocke, but NEVER Jubilee.
Every character, when leveled up, is strong, so I can imagine Emma Frost can beat Jubilee in the game if you leveled her up right.
