Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2

Marvel's heroes have been crossing over into the world of videogames for decades now. However, it wasn't until Marvel: Ultimate Alliance hit consoles that gamers were able to take control of all the best and brightest heroes in one place. The game proved to be a massive hit, and fans have been anxiously awaiting a sequel ever since.

The wait is just about over. Due out this summer, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 looks to outdo its predecessor in many ways. At the very least, the character roster has been boosted. Ultimate Alliance 2 is based on the events of the comic book mini-series Civil War, which saw these familiar heroes go to war with each other over the Superhuman Registration Act.

There are a lot of faces to keep track of in this game. Luckily, we're here to help. In this Cast of Characters feature, we explore the roster of Marvel heroes and villains we would like to see made playable in the game. It's a wishlist of sorts, as we examine who these characters are, what they do, and which side of the fight they're likely to fall on.
