Several x-men members have also been members of the Avengers over the years.

I completely expect no X-Men characters for a couple reasons. Chief among them that really, they should be getting their own game.

Of course this fits my opinion on X-men/Avengers which is summed up by this song's chorus;

You are not alone.

I expect them here when the game was revealed to be a live-service type with continuous updates long after release.

If it was just a normal game then I wouldn’t expect them but since this is being launched like Overwatch, that brings their arrival into the question.

I mean asking Wolverine isn’t out there because he was an Avenger but asking for Cyclops would be weird.

Would it?

Considering how many times Cyclops wasn't in these crossovers games it would give some people that they're make up on how they treated the X-Men the decade.

I feel like the fandom reaction is “If you don’t want to be called an MCU shill piece of media, add X-Men.” I would argue the Inhumans/Mutants thing is the least of the game’s issues, but that seems to be the vibe I get. Just compare the reactions to MVC Infinite and Ultimate Alliance 3, specifically the amount of X-Men in the latter.

[up][up] I would because Cyclops is one of the X-Men who hasn’t even joined the Avengers. I mean even from a story prospective why would he be here since it doesn’t involve mutants

Like I said before the live-service constant update nature of the game is what convinced me of the X-Men’s eventual appearance more than anything else.

The more heroes this game has then the more players who want to play as their favorite heroes it might bring in, that’s its selling point So logically it stands to reason they’ll bring in popular X-Men since that’s just easy money.

It’s not like this game is already adverse to cheap advertisements after all.

Honestly they could make X-Men game and have a third game X-Men vs Avengers game with Pv P elements

With Carol in I guess the only one I'm hoping for is a certain motorcyclist with a flaming skull.

Except The only Ghost Rider to be an Avenger is Robbie Reyes, who doesn't use a motorcycle.

Those leak characters seem so mandatory & predictable.

I disagree, i thought there were several surprises in that list.

You also need to remember that this is an Avengers game. People wouldn't expect Hulk or Thor to show up in an X-Men game.

Is it really that surprising that people would want heroes that have been Avengers in an Avengers game? This isn't an all Marvel game like Ultimate Alliance or the Marvel vs games, it's about Avengers specifically.

Several x-men members have also been members of the Avengers over the years.

And just going by those gives us a nice selection.

Like Beast,Wolverine, Rogue, Sunspot, Cannonball,Havok,Sunfire, Storm and Cable.

Deadpool has been an Avenger and Daken was in Dark Avengers.

Yeah idk why people are expecting X-men (besides wolverine) to be here since it’s not called ultimate alliance. Besides that the list is very surprising because there are lots on here without video game representation. Besides that I expect there to be a X-men only game a few years from now when there movie push starts.

[up][up][up][up][up][up][up][up]

Also yeah avengers and X-men are best kept separate from each other.

[up][up] I mean Robbie is the one I want the most and specifically the one I was thinking of but... Like... You're right. That description doesn't actually match him.

You know Mar-vel should totally be an Cool Old Lady in the game too. I want to beat the crap out of Ultron as a grandma.

Unless she can get the same design as Mr. Radd then not quite.


You must have seen a different list, because it's neither predictable or whatever you mean by "mandatory". There are several surprises in that list. Most people seem to express as much.

Unless it's a different list from what XMenMutant22 posted then no. Not entirely sure why my opinion needs to correlate with other people's but I guess it wouldn't be the internet without telling others how wrong they are on how to feel about anything.


You also need to remember that this is an Avengers game. People wouldn't expect Hulk or Thor to show up in an X-Men game.

Well since every time Logan has WW 2 flashback Mr. Rogers is involved, Wolverine made his comic debut with Hulk & it was adapted into an animated movie Stark was playable in X-Men Legends, & Spider-Man cameo in X2: Mr. Howlett's Revenge & being playable in X-Men: Mutant Academy, no I would expect Thor & Hulk to be playable in an X-Men game.


Is it really that surprising that people would want heroes that have been Avengers in an Avengers game? This isn't an all Marvel game like Ultimate Alliance or the Marvel vs games, it's about Avengers specifically.

Because being an Avengers isn't a correlation to being a Marvel character. But if we're really going on what's "Avenger Related" the fact that none of the street level Avengers are leaks is another deal-breaker.

How isn't the DLC list predictable?

I'm not saying that as a bad thing but as fact. Its just the rest of the movie characters as expected. The most out there inclusion in it is She-Hulk, Kate Bishop, & the original Captain Marvel since the former 2 don't havn't appeared in the MCU yet while the latter is but in name-only.

Because no one was complaining about the launch characters being redundant. Especially since no one thought Kamala's inclusion didn't outweigh the overall reception this thread had towards to them.

Because several on that list weren't in that many predictions.

I certainly don't remember anyone expecting Mar-Vell

the fact that none of the street level Avengers are leaks is another deal-breaker.

Hawkeye and Kate Bishop are street level Avengers. The latter even worked as a private eye in her solo.

[up] I said there were some outliers but its still majorly comprised of movie characters.

Out of 15 characters, only 3 have made no appearance in the movies. Technically 5 depending on how you consider Agents of Shield. That leaves 10 movie characters.
