I think Playable characters In a 3rd one should be:
Cyclops
Wolverine
Iceman
Storm
Marvel Girl (Rachel)
Emma Frost but better than XML 1
Nightcrawler
Rogue
Colossus
Mystique but better than XML 1
Unlock ables
Cable
Deadpool
Longshot
Havok
Quicksilver
Astral Plane version of Xavier from XML 1
Villains
Main villain : Scarlet Witch (uber powerful Disassembled version)
Magneto
Juggernaut
Dark Beast
Mojo
Spiral
The Marauders (Sabretooth, Grey Crow, Vertigo etc etc)
Sauron
the Sentinels
The plot
Scarlet Witch's powers go out of control, she changes reality so that she is in control of all the governments worldwide . She controls all the villains I have mentioned. She sends some to kill off the X-men for a laugh. She sends the rest to moniter the globe. The X-men must fight any attacker who are a threat to themselves and the humans who are being persecuted........
i think XML3 should be about more recent stories. should feature cassandra nova, the church of humanity, the brotherhoods attack on the school featuring the newer black tom, exidus, and that weird mammomax guy.
in addition to whatever x-men they have on the roster, they should have a costum mutant that you can create and the story is based around him/her joining the x-men and being a legend.
emma's body would be incinerated by the phoenix after any lengthy possession...
anyway, having the scarlet witch-centric plot mentioned above would be too similar to the supposed plot for XML2, and too dissimilar from HoM. i doubt it'd sell, and i doubt it'd make any comic fans happy.
and will, your custom character would be deadpool's perception of himself?
