Hopefully The Punisher and Deadpool will be playable characters...they're alot more interesting than Marvel's run of the mill cookie cutter heroes.

Why the heck will they include Blade, he doesn't have an ongoing series anymore. Better off putting in the Black Panther if you want racial diversity.

Hopefully there is a broad selection of X-men to choose from.

xmen legends 1 and 2 were crap. so was the engine it was based on, freedom force
