I doubt players are going to be allowed to play the famous heroes or villians.

The only way I can see that is through a special membership.

More than likely teh people at Marvel or Cryptic would utilize them as the GM characters of the game, involving teh lesser heroes (those played by us) in stories.

Hmm…X-men or Avenger…..hmm….which one which one…

That’s entirely possible, Steve, and it would work. I wonder if it will satisfy the people who want to actually play the famous heroes and villains though? I’d guess that Cryptic has something clever up its collective sleeve.

I suspect that players will be interacting with Marvel characters and villains in much the same way they are doing so in CoH/CoV. I’m betting that players will be able to qualify for special memberships in organizations such as the Avengers, X-men or Masters of Evil by completing special story arcs or quests.

Just my two cents.

We’re using the TSR Advanced rules. The Universal Chart has recently been called by an oblivious gamer “The Periodic Table of Wham-o”

Hoping they rerelease the game or something. Its a great game, we’ve just entered Civil war storyline. The deaths of innocents caused by Speedball was only one incident. My character inadvertantly destroying 9 city blocks was the first. Oops…. Shift Y Fire Generation. (Thats Focused)

Thanks for the recap, Christian. That’s all good stuff to know.
