It's a video game. Anyway sounds cool,but i don't know how they plan to balance this out. I mean what the hell is Blade going to offer to a battle? As far as i can think of,the only things he can contribute is:
Enhanced Physical Attributes
Martial Arts Skills
Katana
Guns
Stakes?
Senses
That's about it,and all of that could be replaced by someone like Deadpool.I'm pretty sure the only reason he's in there is because of the movies. Other than that i'm interested to see how they balance all the different heroes and such,but i'm not getting my hopes up. Xmen Legends is probably the basis of the gameplay but the key difference is that the Xmen are fairly balanced and each character is meant to be team oriented,whereas some guys in Marvel could literally do a million things themselves. I guess they'll either be real selective on who they include or they'll just weaken certain characters to fit in the game.

Don't really know,i guess she's sort of the ninja character of the game. And it's not about liking certain characters,it's about game balance. Lets just say they put Storm in the game,she's pretty popular right? Well she could easily be replaced by Thor who has her power and more. So do they put both characters in and just let Storm be the lesser character or do they either buff/debuff one of them. There's going to be a lot of overlapping with that huge a cast of characters

BUMP..
it is on the wii ....with special wii-mote motions for attacks...
what people are you going to put on your teams...(it doesnt matter if they may or may not be actually announced playable characters)
ime not too hot on the graphics but its got a lot of Evil characters in it and i love evil and i like Marvel even though i never read a magazine from them in my life
anyway isnt Galactus in this, he can eat planets, hows he going to fit in all this, hes uber
A. 140 characters is probably misleading. Chances are, that includes cameos, references, villians, etc. I'd be surprised if there were more than, say, 30 playable characters.
B. Still, it looks cool. I just hope the characters feel different. If Spider-Man plays too much like Thor, or if Wolverine is comparably powerful to Dr. Strange, I'll be irritated.
hmm...i said 20 to choose from the start...and 140 npcs/unlockable characters..
aside from that, i have 2 good news and 1 bad news..
first to good stuff....it comes out as a launch game for wii..also, if you pre-order any version, you unlock silver surfer as a playable character..
now for the depressing stuff...there is no online for the wii version, which is plain stupid in my opinion...
1. itll be pretty much like xmen legends, but with tonnes more characters and features..ive never acutally played legends 1 or 2 (save for the demos), so im kinda new to this sorta rpg..
2. high, they've implemented an epilougue system that changes depending on what choices you make..also there is stuff to unlock, and since theres a cast of 20 playable characters, youll want to try different team combos..
