    Speaking of those two, we need some Emma Frost action. She wasn't in MUA1 was she?

    Not that I recall.

    If memory serves, Storm and Cyclops were incredibly overpowered in XML1 because leadership stacked, combos were easy to pull off, and the damage scaled to INSANE levels. I recall my "uber" team being Storm, Cyclops, Jean Gray, Colossus. Storm and Colossus provided the leaderships and helped set up combos, Jean Gray was my "main" character for non-boss fights. You could just spam aoe + call ally (for lightning) and clear out *everything*.... and Colossus was the boss killer. Single highest damaging attack in the game + leadership/combo scaling of powers = 5 digit damage. Was silly :(

    I actually miss XML2's level system. It was a great deal more complicated and had a bunch of abilities that were completely broken... what's funny is broken in this sense could mean completely overpowered or literally, broken... as in they did nothing at all. But damn if I didn't enjoy it. Having two Xtreme powers to choose from was also quite nice.

    Yeah combos in XML1 did retarded damage with storm and cyclops. And they gave a decent amount of XP too. They nerfed that to the ground in the sequel, sadly.

    I varied my team a lot in Legends, quite a few good people. I was sad that Colossus was so crappy in MUA, he was great in X-Men.

    She sure wasn't.

    Edit: Above was for captaink's question about Emma Frost.

    @DarkSymphony

    Yeah, I agree with you to some extent. I only played it 2 player, with the each of us picking two characters, but it was a pretty good time. And there were some characters that were just flat-out better than others. I really wanted to like Spider-Man, for instance. It got to the point where I was just :(. Spider-Woman more than made up for her male counterpart's deficiencies, though. Her Bio Blast was stupidly awesome .

    I still have both of my Gamecube copies of the above games.

    A fully upgraded Cyclops could wreck shit with his basic Optic blast.

    XL2 is one my favorite PSP games simply because of all of the exclusive characters. Cable, Nate Grey (X-Man), Cannonball and Dark Phoenix. I didn't care about Dark Phoenix so much, but there are far too few games that let you play as Cable, Nate or Cannonball.

    As far as characters I'd like to see, I've always been fond of Jubilee.

    For all the crap Hank Pym gets, he's got nothing on Mr. Fantastic. He's slapped his wife (and son in at least one What if? story) so many time she's lucky she doesn't have brain damage.

    What the fuck was wrong with Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool? He was great.

    It was the asshole who plays him at the end of the movie that sucks (and also what they did to Deadpool after the first five minutes of the film).

    I agree that Sentry would be awesome. I wouldn't mind if they got rid of Blade, Ghostrider, and maybe some of the FF. I mean did anyone other than Thing even throw a punch in Civil War? Get more X-Men and Thunderbolts in there in their place.

    wasn't a fan of blade in MUA. He was kinda fun on an all melee-team since his sword could hit multiple enemies but meh... his powers were stupid/lame :[ Ghost Rider was okay but ghost rider without his cycle just seems wasteful. It's like Thor without his hammer.

    Because everything they did after that first five minutes was soul-crushingly horrible. And I actually did like Ryan Reynolds, but that doesn't mean I want his costume.

    Except for the part where he wasn't Deadpool yet, he was WONDERFUL as Wade, and Weapon XI/"Deadpool" wasn't even played by Reynolds, it was a stunt guy, so why pin that on Reynolds?

    They need to make a game based off this:

    The sun rises in the east and sets in the West, you're born, you pay taxes, you die, and Wolverine will be in every X-Men game ever. I know it's technically a Marvel game, but still.

    In fact, I think he's been in every X-Men video game to date.
