Marvel Universe reveals a mouthy merc

If it is true that you cannot make your own hero in the Marvel MMO I wont play this game. I dont want to play "pre-made" toons.

Of course it's Deadpool, he's the only one who knows this is actually an MMORPG set in a comic world.

I really wonder how they're going to handle customization in this game. Story is great and all, but it's more of what separates the good from the great and doesn't mean anything if the rest of the gameplay isn't what we enjoy. I've been loving the Marvel Universe movies, but this game couldn't interest me less with the way it's being developed.

Even if you look at the heroes as "classes", there's still the problem of skill customization. How would they handle a Deadpool who has more of a focus on ranged damage fighting alongside a Deadpool who put all of his points into swords? Those would cease to be the same character, and at that point you're better off just letting people build their own characters and powersets a la CO.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is an IP/legal decision rather than a customer-focused one. I guess I can't fault them for doing what the lawyers say, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes it so I'll never touch this title.

I did miss the reveals at SDCC, probably because Massively didn't post anything about them.

I will play this because I like fit men in tight leather outfits... not.

I was hoping they'd let us customize the characters to let us mix and match from costume parts across all the various incarnations, costume changes alternate versions etc.

Looking at this model it doesn't seem to be the way they are going which is a shame.

It's a shame what they've done to Deadpool. When the character was at his best there was no way he'd be the first choice as a lead-in for someone's marketing.
