    In the PSP you also have:
    Ronin, which can be Echo
    Captain Marvel, both Genis and Marv
    Black Widow, including Yelena Bolova
    Haweye


    and by all means Ronin/Echo is prettiest much the most over powered character in the game.

    I love Dr. Strange... he's part of my Shadow Avengers team...

    You need to power up his black ball of death... the max for a box transformation says 30%, but I swear it was more like 50... it's instakill.

    And I thought Baron Mordo was pretty easy... the hard part was getting to him... those damn imps...

    No Illuminati team, for a reason.

    [spoiler:468b713931]The Illuminati doesn't exist until after the game, and even then not unless you saved Namor in Atlantis.[/spoiler:468b713931]

    If only the Punisher had been in, you could make an entire team of gun totin' action movie stereotypes. (the other 3 being Blade, Fury, and Deadpool)

    I thought about making an "A-Team" with Luke Cage as B.A., Nick Fury as Hannibal, Human Torch as Face, and Deadpool as Murdock. But I figured it would get old after about 10 minutes.

    Is that why they couldn't use him? because someone else has the liscense?



    because there was a giant pair of green legs and purple pants sticking out of some rubble in one of the cutscenes

    Unless Banner got hit with the gamma bomb sometime between the mission you met him in and that cutscene, it can't be the Hulk. Probably just an easter egg.

    Hawkeye on the PSP is a god when it comes to crowd control.

    All the PSP exclusives are so crazy over powered, Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, and Ronin are one man armies, if you do the survive missions with them, you honestly can't die unless your a bumbling moron.

    There was a horrible period in the 90s when one Ghost Rider wasnt enough, so they went and made up his evil clone-turned good, and brought back Blaze and for awhile there were three Ghost Riders running around.

    Nothing like a good cloning to run a series into the ground.

    Fuck, I'm tempted to rent this. So tempted. But all I have is a PS2. Then again, I've played the other X-men Legends games, and I'm not exactly going to be mourning NOT being able to play as Colossus for a 3rd time, and I don't particularly care about Moon Knight.

    So, I don't come here often, but I am desperate for M:UA discussion.


    As it is, I've ended up completing the game once with Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Moon Knight and Iron Man. I called them Iron Nightspider. Spidey's web-throw attack is deadly for support, since as far as I can tell it's a one-time energy expense for as long as you hold it down. Just grab an enemy that's causing you trouble if it's small enough, and hold it till your allies beat the ever-loving shit out of it.

    This game, I've been using Human Torch, Ghost Rider, Dr. Strange and Thor, together known as the Flaming Oddgods. Human Torch's power where he causes a small explosion that sends the enemy into the air is just DEADLY, I'm finding.
