Re: DLC. No one would let me make Howard the Duck.

Re: DLC. There will be new team bonuses.

Re: DLC. I can’t say how many chars, but I can promise you Nick Fury is not one of them.

Re: DLC. A little nugget for everyone. DLC will have new achievements.


So maybe Black Panther for double date?

They were worried about having too many SPIDEY characters, but NOT too many X-MEN??!! What’s wrong with this picture?

Well Dan said in one of his tweets that they wanted to make it up to the X-Man fans.

Because they couldn’t make an X-Men team in the PS2 and PSP versions of the game.

Obvious answer to this - Spider-man is a solo character, and the rest are satellites, X-men are Marvels biggest team and arguably its biggest brand, if you note that dividing out from the original X-men title, we have:

- Astonishing X-men
- Uncanny X-men
- X-men Legacy
- X-force
- X-factor
- New Mutants
- Dark Wolverine
- Wolverine: Origins
- Wolverine - Weapon X
- Cable
- Deadpool
- Deadpool - Merc’ with a mouth

Plus the first class books.  Plus inevitable one shots.

Spider-man has 3 Amazing Spider-mans a month, plus Spider-man family I believe.

Even Avengers family only has 4 titles (and Cap, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther and Ms Marvel don’t count - the characters were created outside the Avengers franchise about bought in later)

Okay, Ms. Marvel, maybe. But Captain America, Iron Man and Thor were introduced before Avengers, and Iron Man and Thor were two of the first 5 members.

Also, unless I missed something somewhere, Daken became the new Wolverine in Dark Avengers #1, so he would technically be one of your “created outside the franchise and brought in later” characters, and I could also say the same for Wolverine since he was originally introduced in Incredible Hulk 180 before he was brought into the 2nd generation team along with Storm, Nightcrawler and Colossus. Last, unless Deadpool has joined the X-Men, he doesn’t count, and if he is now in one of the X-Teams, it’s debatable if he would count since he wasn’t originally in one, but brought in later.

My point is, that while I won’t argue whether or not the X-Men are bigger, you can’t list outside characters, then deny ones like at least Iron Man and Thor.

In conclusion - though there are certain downsides to having 5 X-men, there are very obvious reasons for doing so.  Plus at least they all have powersets which are quite different from everyone else - it’s not as if we have Colossus…

I don’t have a Twitter account and don’t plan to get one.  Could anyone who does have an account please ask Dan T. whether there are five DLC characters total, or more than five?  If its more than five, I’m not asking for a specific number.  I just want to know whether there are five or more than five.  The official website describes Carnage as “the first of five DLC characters,” so if Dan confirms that there are five, he’s not saying anything that hasn’t already been said on the website.

Can someone explain what’s a “DLC” ?

Can someone explain what’s a “DLC” ?

DLC is an acronym for “downloadable content.” If a character is DLC, it means that this character is not burned on the disc, but will be available to download (for XBox 360 or PS3).  At this point it seems that the DLC characters are Psylocke, Magneto, Cable, Black Panther, and Carnage.  Hopefully they’ll be a second “pack” (i.e., a second batch of downloadable characters).

I sent a twitter to Marvel asking about DLC. (just asked who we should petition for more DLC and mentioned I’d like map packs and more characters) This is what they said-

“We hear all the requests, don’t worry”

I think they are aware that there is a want for more DLC.  Hopefully the sales of the game and the first pack of DLC convey the same message too!

I hope so too I want more downloadable charachters and another Act , Maps that would rock my world and It would turn me on to what VV and Marvel/Disney are doing in the future…
