Game Overview
Marvel Heroes is a FREE-TO-PLAY action-packed massively multiplayer online game created by David Brevik, the visionary behind Diablo and Diablo 2. Set in the iconic Marvel Universe, Marvel Heroes combines the core game-play style of Action RPGs and MMOs with the expansive library of heroes from the Marvel Universe. In the game, players can collect and play as their favorite Marvel Superheroes (including Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk, Spider Man, Captain America and many others). Team up with friends and try to stop Doctor Doom from devastating the world with the power of the Cosmic Cube in a story written by Marvel comic super-scribe Brian Michael Bendis.

no takers? hmmm the burrito sure is good but ill SWEETEN the deal, i shall put sugar on this burrito.
Okay, so they're adding Relics in the next patch, right?
Then we'll be getting x4 Artifacts within a month.
And Team Insignias are coming down the pipeline too.
Man, the character equipment UI is going to be a freaking mess
Overall his basics are just awful and the number of bad guys who completely resist his slow on stunning barrage? is impressive. the good news i got him from 40 to 44.5 but another 2 or 3 days to get him to 50... oy vey he is as squishy as punisher for really lacks the crazy high dps that punisher gets.
allegedly it is supposed to stack as mentioned the tool tip is broken (shocker!)
The number of broken classes is fairly high right now, for me at least punisher, rocket raccoon, scarlet witch, cyclops, black widow and (maybe jean grey? i dont own her so i cant say with any certainty there). The wait for 1.2 TM chant going on right now is really weird.
I get that gambit is popular, but I never really understood why, I dont quite get the popularity. (Of course I'm trying to hipster retcon my adoration of Wolverine to meh he is ok but highly over rated). Gambit was always on the list of 90s characters I never liked, in the group with shatterstar, adam x, vengeance, dreadlox, kane or strong guy.
His basic bounce blast is alright, but you are better off focusing on Barrage, Channel, and Devastation. The first two have a strong synergy together.
Gambit is so laaaaaaaammmmeeee
Not that Nova is any better. Who the hell is Nova? I read a dozen Marvel books each month, for Stan's sake, and I still don't know or care.

aka he is not, from a game design mechanics perspective, distinct from Ms Marvel in literally any way unless part of his power set involves summoning the fucking New Warriors (Though this is kid Nova so that wouldn't work either, Sam Alexander Nova's book has only been running for like six months now so he functionally has no real character history to draw on for a skill tree, every part of this was well thought out)
And Chomp Chomp; track down the Annihilation series of comics; it's one of the best events Marvel ever did, and a large part focused on Nova, and why he's such a great character.
As for what powers would he have; Nova actually controls gravametric energy, which allows barebones stuff like shooting bolts of energy, but it can also be used for stuff like holding people in place, or making Nova a tough son of a bitch to take down. Additionally, he's connected to an AI that analyzes the world around him and gives advice, which could be turned into a whole host of passives and buffs.

Of course, I hope he can turn enemies into boxes like in MUA. For some reason I found that power delightful to use.
Ah, I think I get it. I skipped pretty much all of Cosmic Marvel, except for a little research to tie in to Fantastic Four. That AI is sounding familiar, since you mention it.
That said, the issue with him being pushed back sounds like this, to draw a parallel:
There's an awesome Green Lantern called Kyle Rayner, and everyone loves him. He has character, he's been involved in many cool events, and he's totally dope.
However, for some boneheaded reason, some old Green Lantern is now headlining the comics, and this jackass has no personality to speak of other than Willpower=GreenLazers.
BUT, Kyle will eventually be back in the top billing, so let's push back the addition of GL to DC Heroes until we can get permission from On High to use him.
Although it seems the new, lame Nova is a kid, rather than a square jawed cardboard cut-out of a man... Juxtaposition!
Yessssssssssssssssssssss.
Admittedly he would probably feel wrong if he wasn't overpowered in comparison to the baseline characters (though not necessarily the heavy hitters like hulk, thor etc.). I'm somewhat boggled as to how the hell they'd handle his powers though.
That is a positively crazy range of abilities to handle in an ARPG. They would absolutely have to limit his abilities somehow and I'm not sure how they'd handle that. Heck, he makes balancing someone like the Hulk look absolutely easy by comparison.
He'll probably have a board/movement tree, a strength/durability tree and a blasting shit tree.
New (green) fortune card.
which is weird because i really like the MM classic costume (spoilered for the easily offended)
edit is the new fortune card replacing the old one? because im not seeing the cow recipe on there

but they did choose to include it, and it looks poorly rendered, which is also why i hate the longer hair styles for the female heroes due to the clipping and overall clompy feel of it. I realize taste is subjective but it cant just be me? Can it?
Same reason there are so many hideous 90s costumes in the game.
