Hark, gentle readers! Today is indeed a most fortuitous day for those watching the development of yon massively multiplayer online game that is known as Marvel Universe Online, for the stalwart writers of code and crafters of art have provided fans with the newest piece of character art. And lest ye fear that the newest addition will in some way disappoint, fear not, for the newest piece of character art is no less than a god!
Yes, the mighty Thor is the latest of the heroes to be previewed, with vestments that speak of both his classic appearance and his recent successful film. If you are a follower of this noble and forthright god of thunder, you will no doubt be pleased to know that his likeness will be seen within Marvel Universe Online, and you should make haste to view the full artwork in a much higher resolution.

Thor!
Of course!
I haven't seen Iron Man yet, and he is a movie franchise.
Heck, I don't even remember seeing Spider-Man yet!

Hmmm, not exactly the best looking Asgardian is he!, whats wrong with his expression?, he looks like a bulldog licking wee off a nettle!.
Not impressed by this titles core focus of their toons or nothing so I know this isn't for me despite how many toons they tease. Still... might give it a Loki for curiosity's sakes.

While I like the art, I can't get interested in this game since they haven't said anything about how this game will play.

I have this problem as well, especially since Bill Roper (he of Hellgate and Champion Online at launch infamy) is supposed to be the lead dev on the game.
Pictures are nice and all, but the proof is in the playing. With Roper ostensibly in charge, I'm not expecting a lot. I hope they prove me wrong.

I think they copied the model from the action figure... I saw it and I thought "Wait a minute... I have seen this face before..." my son has the action figure.
But you will be the judge of that :)

It's hard to get excited over a MMO that won't allow you to create your own characters. Maybe that's just me, though.

I am totally just loathing this guy's design. I mean, the models look fantastic. Great attention to detail... I just don't like the style. Thor is supposed to be sex on a stick, and built like a s*** brick house. This guy looks armored and not in a good way. Also.. this is going to seem really childish of me, but... the helmet just looks DUMB.

As much as I love Thor, that chest armor and helmet really aren't very appealing. I hope they give us a chance to customize their costumes at least. :/
Also, 6 character reveals in and still not a single female? WTF, guys? There better be some Psylocke or Ms. Marvel up in here pretty soon.

I'm not budging unless I can play Cypher. And beat the Hulk. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I'm fine with just playing Marvel characters. Maybe some characters who have never been playable will be in this.
